Phi Slamma Jamma

- Michael Young, Benny Anders, and finally Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, with Akeem on the boards. (from the semi-final game of the 1983 NCCA Basketball championship against Louisville.)
In addition to the shorts, they played with no clock and no 3 point shot.
Two days later in the championship game against North Carolina State with Jim Valvano coaching, Benny Anders came within fingertips of recreating his dunk to win the championship. We all no what happened instead.
This is THE GAME that made introduced me to basketball. I have loved it since that day.
Nobody dunks it prettier than Clyde the Glide!
Drexler also had one of the greatest dunks ever - college or pro - ...While with Houston. Tough to find a replay..

@@chrisfitzgerald8035 I remember that game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah only in Houston history Lmao
Anders did it better
I saw Phi Slamma Jamma at Baylor that year. They put Benny Anders in the game and he immediately stole the ball and did a 360 slam. Greatest team to never win the championship.
Kevin Kilman Phi Slama Jama.
Absolutely one of the best to not win one. I’d love to see these guys vs the Fab Five.
No doubt about it.
2014-15 UK Wildcats, not even close.
The best team NOT to win the national title was in 1985 when the defending champions Georgetown team was defeated by Villanova in the title game.
That same Georgetown team beat Houston the previous year.
Clyde and his momma are staples in Houston...real gems that we are so proud of. Love you both, and your sweet sister.
i wish someone could post the entire 83' semifinal game between houston and louisville. it was a dunkfest!
Man, I remember this game, like it was yesterday. Even though UH lost the championship game to NC St on a last second dunk ( how ironic) this was one of the greatest teams in NCAA History with the mosr appropiate nickname ever. Long live the legend of "PHI SLAMMA JAMMA"!
After watching the 30/30 feature on them last night I am a big Benny Anders fan. Its amazing he came off the bench but after seeing his highlights he is my favorite player from that team.
Exactly, he is my favorite player also. Felt bad when he said at the end that he wants to just fade away !! Thats life. When we are young, we dont realize how fast life can go by. Anders and this team was a great team and very underappreciated.
I was surprised how happy he was to see his old teammates after they finally found him and how he was willing to do an interview. You would think somebody who purposely fell off the face of the Earth wouldn't be happy about being tracked down.
@@AaronStark1993 It's not surprising to most people middle age or older. There's a perspective on life that only comes with age and Benny's reaction epitomized that. He's reached a time in life where he could appreciate and be grateful for being part of something really special that brought so much joy and excitement to so many people. It was great to see he had the wisdom to appreciate and be thankful that there are people in the world who still care about him enough to go to great lengths to reconnect with him.
One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is to make them feel that you care about them, that they matter, and that they have a friend. You could see how much it meant to Benny that his old teammates went the extra mile to reconnect with him.
The dunk by Benny Anders is 1 of the best i have ever seen.
I remember this game very well. I loved watching this Houston team play. College basketball was great back then because most of the stars stayed until their senior years. Nowadays, it's hard to keep track of the players because if they have any NBA potential, they are usually gone after a year or two. March Madness will always be interesting, but college basketball will never have the same appeal it had back in the 1980's.
ChildOfThe1970s College basketball of the 80s was simply awesome you had sum loaded squads. The 82 final 4 had Gtown with Ewing and Sleepy Floyd. Carolina had Worthy, Jordan, Perkins. HOUSTON had Young, Michaeux, Anders,Akeem and Clyde. And the Ville had The McCray brothers and Lancaster Gordon. I dont think Billy Thompson or Milt Wagner were on that team. I know they were on the 86 Championship team with Pervis Ellison. And the 4 coaches are legends John Thompson,Dean Smith, Guy and Denny Crum!!!!
Dunks (to save everyone time): 1:12, 1:38, 2:01, 5:48
5:50 a legend is born.
Real college basketball era
My favorite play of Drexler’s is when he basically jumped over that guy and dunked it in the 83’ tournament
The Houston Chronicle did a "Where Are They Now" story on that UH team. The report was that nobody from the team knew where Anders was.
I was 10 years old when this game was played. It is still one of the most entertaining basketball games I've ever seen in my life. The athleticism by both teams was just unreal. More of this game was played above the rim than below.
Wow, Clyde made that switch from the one-hander to the two-hander look so effortless.
I was 11 years old and the lost to NC state introduce me to basketball and Len Bias made me love Basketball RIP LEN Bias
I was around ten years old, I remember everyone thought that this was the actual championship. Once the cougars won we all thought they'd kill NC state. Well we know what happened next
Benny Anders !! PHI SLAMA JAMA !! GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM EVER !!
Without a championship, yes
Rev, you're the man for posting this!! My favorite ever Final Four Game. Tell the kids stories of the world famous Phi Slama Jama
Thanks Colin
Yo! That's crazy! I'm listening to him live right now too! Didn't expect a comment that quick neither!
Phi Slama Jama may have been before my time, but they were (and still are) fun to watch. I own the 1983 National Semifinal and National Championship games on DVD - Original Broadcast. I'd like to obtain more games from them at somepoint.
They were like watching an NBA team playing against college.
Awesome that we have this massive repository of video, but I wish the quality was better back in the day.
What I love is how they push the ball EVERYTIME , this is a incredible display of playing basketball.
Yes, Louisville was loaded with talent. And UH had, um... future NBA Hall of Fame'rs Drexler and Olajuwon, Michael Young, who led the 82-83 team in points, was also drafted in the first round, and played overseas for 14 years after 3 in the NBA, and Larry Micheaux, who was an honorable mention All-American and was a 2nd round NBA draft pick.
Bro 3 booms OUT THE GATE!! I was too young and missed this game. WTF is going onnn!? They just keep catchin bodies!!
lawd hav mercy...Benny Anders dunk at 2:05, this clip brings back memories, think i was about 13 when this game was played.....i too miss when players stayed in college longer b/c you got to see great teams with great athletes
Best college game ever... Phi slamma jamma vs fab five
Jake Lyle That would have been something to watch!
Or Phi Slama Jama vs the early 90's UNLV teams.
LeBron was a kid back then wow Steph and Kobe was a kid wow
They would've killed the fab 5
U of H and Phi Slamma Jamma. I went out and had a t shirt pressed that said Phi Slamma Jamma. I was 11. My heart was so broken at the end of that game! I will never forget it! There is never been a more weird finish to a National Championship Game than that. It was so ultra weird! Not to even make excuses but... how does the NCAA decide to put the Final Four there? The altitude messed with all the players during the finals regardless of team. I will always find it weird! However we just choked from the line and Guy started trying to "not lose", and in doing so We lost. I always believe Guy V was a great coach and people who hate on him don't realize that when U of H beat UCLA in the Astrodome that was really bigger than a championship. UCLA was invincible and The Big E brought them down! There will never be a team full of showtime EVER that will match Phi Slamma Jamma EVER! The closest would be UNLV
UCLA lost that 1968 game because Lou Alcinder (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) had a hurt eye. He lost two games in college(GOAT) Houston got sucked into the ACC slowdown game in 1983. Thurl Baily of NC State was a great player as well.
This Houstan team was better then a few nba teams at the time...
Phi Slamma Jamma one of the most ferocious college teams ever. They literally dunked my boyz (Louisville) right out of the gym. Something I never I thought would see happen. After all, it was the Cards who were considered the "Doctors of Dunk". This was an epic battle; in a great venue. Just wished the Cards would have come out ahead.
A tourney classic. So much talent on the floor in the 1980's NCAA's - the days before "one and done". Awesome crowd noise too thanks to the game being played in "The Pit" - a real basketball venue and not a cavernous dome. I don't miss Billy "I invented college b-ball" Packer though.
This game is the reason I attended UofH. Both teams had athletes at every spot. Ended up smoking weed with Benny Anders within 5 months of hitting campus.
Clyde became THE MAN , after this game!!!
loutcb he was the MAN but was slowly loosing his hair year after year
Actually Clyde has a miserable Championship game and fell in the draft and didn't do much in the NBA for a year or two.
No clock and no three point line sure made a difference. And this Louisville team was loaded, The McCrays, Milt Wagner, Lancaster Gordon, Billy Thompson all NBA draft picks, and Denny Crum their coach. What ever happened to Bennie Anders?
TheReverendTony one of that greatest that never was...
This team had 2 things in common with the early 1990s Portland Trailblazers teams .
1-both blew 3 straight chances at titles.
Houston lost in the Final Four three straight years to the eventual national champs (North Carolina, NC State and Georgetown).
Portland was defeated three straight years with 3 superstar guards dominating them (Isiah Thomas in 1990, Magic Johnson in 1991 and Michael Jordan in 1992).
2-Clyde Drexler was on 2 of the Houston teams that choked and all 3 Portland teams that choked.
They were remembered more than teams that won the championship.
that was when college basketball was real..if they had a shot clock in the early to mid 80's houston would have won 3 straight titles..other teams held the ball against them to slow the game down.one of the best ncaa teams ever
Amen brother exactly
I remeber when Clyde jumped over Elston turner and dunked it
Me too
Awesome 🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀
91 UNLV best ever to not win it without question.
Larry Johnson Stacy augmon tarkanian coach they' were a NBA team UNLV
Michael Young and Benny Anders played in the Philippine Basketball Association
wow. I remember watching this game live. even crazier is that I didn't see one flop.
Did I miss something, why didnt Louisville coach call timeout wen they started dunking all over them to slow the momentum with 3 straight dunks, plus what coach sits during a game, 80's though, I love seeing Drexler with the curl
The entire game is now posted but in 11 parts because of UA-cam limits. Enjoy, The Reverend Tony™
I saw this game as well. I don't remember none of the highlights. Just remember the names Akeem and Clyde the Glide
So amazing was Phi Slama Jama! Except for Dream all the starters were all Houston area Boys. There will never be team like this again.
Anders was from Louisiana
@Biggdoom344 true, but technically, but Bennie wasn't a starter. But I would consider Louisiana "local". Just my opinion.
@@markvineyard4149 ok. I got you..the starters were mostly from Houston. Thats true
Dunking had been band by the NCAA for a few years before this. UH coach Guy Lewis realized the shooting percentage of dunking was fare greater than shooting from a distance. Thus evolved Phi Slamma Jamma. They were one of the first to run the floor with dunking on their mind. Problem is now a lot of players rely to much on it and have lost the art of pure shooting.
Dunk after dunk after dunk 🏀 😂
Remember Daniel Simpson Day from Animal House? Yeah, whereabouts unknown
Klosterman! Benny Anders' dunk right around the 2:00 mark.
Greatest college team I've ever seen.
NC state won championship but had they played the game over 10 times houston would've won 9 of them.
Lived in Houston back then. Amazing team. Old coach littering went to stall game way to soon in finals……damn shame!.
Where can hear the rap song, "Phi Slamma Jama", by DJ Captain Jack?
Derrick Wittenberg said NC State watched this game after theirs and said my God what are we in for?
Billy Packer always induced nausea in me.
Tony
I agree.. Anders seemed to have both ends of the floor figured out.. seemed pro material.. maybe the off the court stuff slowed things for him.
That dunk by drexler broke Louisville. It was all downhill after that.
Sure miss these days, fuck 1 & done!
@ 6:14, THAT'S a rebound. Even at the young age of 20 you can see the dominance of Hakeem.
At 5:48, Clyde Drexler is standing in the paint near his own basket, not yet realizing there is about to be a turnover. At 5:52, he is dunking on the other end. Imagine how fast his 3/4 court sprint time would have been at a draft combine. 3.0 seconds? 2.9? 2.8?
Also my favorite
Apologies to Clyde Drexler, but Anders 'dunk was the best of the game
when in his life did Clyde Drexler NOT look like he was a middle-aged man haha
Agreed on everything you said.
Clyde drexler 😵
A couple of days later this mighty team lost to a North Carolina State team that had a fraction of a fraction of their talent. Still unbelievable to this day. Guy Lewis(who looked just like the devil) said before that game that the team that had the most dunks would win.
And he was right.-smh
yep one of (if not the) biggest upsets in ncaa tournament finals ever. If I would have been able to put a bet down, I would have put up all i could on UH, no matter the spread. But it must have been fate that won ncs that game because if they lose that game then coach v wouldn't have gotten as much recognition as he did and might not have gotten hired as a sports announcer for ESPN and wouldn't have made that brilliant speech at the ESPY's. And very true on Guy Lewis looking like the devil, lol
JjM91084 Sports Illustrated called the game the upset of the century of any sport.
+Canada and USA Rock it was meant to be. this was after losing to jordans north carolina team in 82's ncaa final four. hakeem tried again in '83 as you can see in the clip and go on to lose to north carolina state like you said, but it would be the main reason for hakeem to stay one more year to try to win a ncaa championship. he would go on to lose to ewings georgetown team in the 84 finals. this caused him to be the #1 draft pick in '84 to the rockets over #2 draft pick jordan, where he eventually faced off against ewing for the nba championship 10 years later. losing to jordan, ewing and never winning a championship was the motivation that he needed to succeed in the nba.
so whos to say they didn't maybe scrub the game for the Vegas cheddar
Is this the game where Drexler jumps over a Louisville player? Unbelievable
The Reverend Tony™ makes it UH +7 because of Olajuwon
DOCTOR'S OF DUNK..We would have won this if we didn't get winded & had a lil more depth!
Manuel Forrest would have made the difference. The teams were even.
Damn almost every play ran was a poster
the rest is?
Houston had 13 dunks this game
3 members of that Houston team played professionally in the Philippines. Michael Young and Rob Williams were so damn amazing. Benny Anders did not make an impact with the Tanduay team. The jericurl was the hairdo of the 80s.
Young former pba import
I loved college games back then..they played hard...boring as hell now..1 and done shit
It’s Phi Slama Jama.
Phi Slamma Jamma. Where are you ? We need you back on top, UH !
p.s.
I heard clyde drexler once said that the only person to ever beat him one on one is benny anders.
We’re backkkkk!!!
Houston was the toughest team next to North Carolina olajuwon drexler
How they lost the title game i'll never know.
powder. all the players did it in the 80s. only some were caught
you have to put the 90-91 UNLV team in there, which I think would have beaten both of them because they were better s hooters, people forget the 91' team of UNLV was actually better than the 90' team that won...they were undefeated goin into the final four game with an average margin of victory of over 30...they just hung out all night the day before the game and ended up loosing with Greg Anthony fouling out.
I hate anyone who talks about nc state all they did was foul towards the end
at least villanova beat georgetown on the up and up 79% shooting!!!!
Well the cougars should of hit their free throws, they have noone else to blame but themselves
this sucks!!!
