Grandmama 🔥🔥🔥 LJ was nasty asl when your stocky with Muscle and quickness and athleticism equipped with a point forward Game sheesh! If Larry never got that back injury definitely HOF.
Duke beating them in 1991 is still one of the all time greatest upsets I've ever seen. Even though they lost they'll always be one of the best college teams ever.
🚨 FUN FACTS ALERT! 🚨 1. LJ was the 1st person to ever win a version of National Player Of The Year in high school, junior college, and NCAA Division 1 2. LJ is the first - and to date, only - player to win the NJCAA national player of the year award twice. 3. Some observers felt that he could’ve been a 1st round pice (maybe even lotto pick) if he’d have entered the 1989 NBA draft straight from Odessa JC.
When JC players join a D1 team there's usually an adjustment period before they hit their stride. LJ was in perfect sync with his Rebel teammates right from the very start. It was a natural fit. I can't imagine LJ wearing any other college jersey.
All time favorite college basketball player. #1 player in his recruiting class before he went the juco route. People forget that he was an unusual recruit for Tark. Tark only had 3 McDonald's AA's at his time in Vegas. Larry was one of the three.
What would have been and what could have been if UNLV would have beaten Duke in two straight years with that Running Rebels team as just about all their players were highly athletic.
Absolutely.....Tarks 90-91 UNLV "Runnin Rebel" teams are one of the greatest teams in college basketball history. Beating Duke by 30 in the National Championship has never been matched.
Those 90/91 UNLV would run the fab5 out of the gym. Look what they did to Duke in the title game and you may not recall they embarrassed Arkansas who was LOADED back then, and that was in Fayetteville. Larry Johnson famously told Nolan Richardson ‘you need to get you some MEN for this game’.
LJ would have chewed up ZION and spit him out !!! A whole nother Stratosphere of Athlete. Unlike anything before and any Cosmic since. All Jerry Garcia and Grateful enthusiasts join me in making One Giant L J gesture! Gracious L J Signed Bill Walton.......YYYYyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh P.S in 1999 The Knicks L.J Alan Houston Charles Oakley Anthony Mason Gerald Wilkins or Henderson i wow o forget aahhh who cares...........THE GREAT STARTING 5 Ever in Knickland....Sorry Walt and Clyde....but a "Healthy" LJ was the Renardo Sydney'''''The Difference" Big Red

LJ is a legend, on a legendary team with a legendary coach, in a legendary city in a legendary time.
Best college player ever
👏🏿
He was the second coming of Barkley before the injuries
Larry Johnson, James Worthy, Shawn Kemp. 3 of my all time favorites!
A MAN amongst boys

@@StevenEvens7125 oh I know about Jamal Mashburn I went to the High School he went too

Larry Johnson: The reason dudes have been screaming after dunks for 30 years.
Bo Jackson of basketball
People was screaming before him!
Actually, It Due To His Teammate Moses Scurry. Subsequently, Dee Dee (Larry Johnson) Began Doing It Also.
Johnson and Tarks 90-91 UNLV squads were the most dominant college basketball team's in history since Woodens UCLA teams.
If isiah rider was a little older they would of beat duke😣
it's nice 2 meet u + i LOVE jabbar ALMOST as much as chamberlain + russell
'BEST college player on the planet!' is how he was once described ;-)

Really someone how we come across a players like him once in a while and now we got zoin .i just hope he last in the NBA hes fun to watch as well
Love what you do keep up the great memories
Just imagine if Lloyd Daniels never got caught with that crack and would have been on this team🙏🏾🙏🏾 Lord Have Mercy
Great point... Lloyd on that ‘90 squad with Butler at the 5... that might have been a 50 point beatdown on April 2nd, 1990....
And shawn kemp
@@abdulmalikel-amin3552 I thought Shawn Kemp was a Kentucky commit before Trinity Valley and the NBA (I could be wrong though)
That 90 championship could have given a couple of NBA teams a run for their money.
Nice work… my fav of all time!
I was looking for LJ unlv retro beast mode. Thanks for the upload. Great music too.
What would have been and what could have been if UNLV would have beaten Duke in two straight years with that Running Rebels team as just about all their players were highly athletic.
Bird is my favorite player but Grandmama is my fav collage player
great choices
Dope vid. Loved the instrumental
That instrumental go crazy
This.guy was a one man team back.in the day
.
What a fun team to watch. They got screwed in 91
He was barkley without the extra weight!!!!
Love this channel. What's this instrumental? It's sick
He was THE TRUTH at UNLV!!!
Texas-born Texas raised
Does anyone know the name of this trippy, RAD beat?
Tom Skywalker Segura and Ryan Sickle-cell Sickler sent me.
He should keep the Grandma mask more often to keep the media and paparazzis of his business.
I think I was digging the beat more than the highlights
I TAKE UNLV over FAB5
I know they won it all but hell naw 🔵🟡 all day!

@@DogFather69LJ was better than Webber
@@andresdelportillo9917 Not sure about that. Weber was a monster in college. It would've been an awesome match up though.
Why always the white uniforms? No red away jerseys this era?
He was chisled up back then 😂
pls tell me who u all feel was best between the 97 + 98 knicks + the 93 + 98 hornets
larry granny johnson
LJ had the softest touch down low... (you know what I mean) 😂😂
