Nick the Quick Joins Q and D | Knuckleheads Quarantine: E12 | The Players' Tribune

- Nick the Quick showed UP for this week’s episode of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles! The Lakers legend looks back on his Exel-lent career: From playing on Bobby Huggins’s tenacious Bearcats squad to bringing his flash to the Lakers, Nick Van Exel’s grind never stopped. He shares stories of what a kid named Kobe was like as a rookie and about that time the Lakers had four All-Stars on the same roster. That leads the guys into a discussion of stacked teams that just can’t seem to win. Nick gives credit to Steve Kerr, who showed up in that ’03 playoff series to send Nick and the Mavs home. He also breaks down the role of sixth man and makes it clear that real basketball players know that what really counts isn’t starting, it’s being on the floor in the last two minutes of the game - when it’s “winning time.” Darius and Nick reminisce on their Portland days together. Nick reveals that Nick the Quick is his favorite nickname simply because of who gave it to him. Tune in to hear the full basketball journey from our main man Nick Van Exel.

D Miles with the Jet Life hat 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It only seems right to interview Dana Barros and Eddie Jones.
Bruh I ain't even a LeBron fan but that one would be a killer or a Iggy one
@@chinoxSD What does that have to do with L3-6ron. Eddie Jones a Lakers legend.
Definitely need a Lu Head interview
Facts
It’s strange that we’ve never heard anything from Eddie Jones about Kobe Bryant’s death
One of the nastiest PG’s in the 90’s era!
Rod Strickland should be next...
Strickland was so NICE!!!
... Make 'em jump like Rod Strickland.
Bobby Digital Wu Tang Forever
Factsz!
Nick the quicccck Van Exel was my guy back in the day a walking bucket in Cincy and in the league.. Dana Barros use to give plenty people that work very underated. Nick paid homage to Rod Strickland,Zeke, Earl the pearl and Sam Cassell. Dope interview. #knuckleheads
Nick "The Kwik" Van Exel ..my favorite point guard growing up in the 90's
Another one of my childhood heroes. He was so smooth with the ball. I remember that I couldnt understand why the Lakers office traded him. Good to see he is doing well.
Thx for this one! Greetings from Germany!
Nick Van Exel looks the same today as he did during his playing days.
Nick: y'all don't play golf huh?
DMiles: HELL NAW!!
Nick Van Exel is one of my favorite players growing up...Left Hand Nick was crazy with the handles and breakdown any defender and one of the coldest floaters...Great to see Nick speak on his Career💯
Nick the Quick !!! I loved it when Legendary Chick Hearns used to call his games
Van Exel yoyoing up & down...
The first jersey I ever had was Van Exel Laker jersey.
Me too the purple jant
Me too a Gold size 36
The vintage authentic purple jersey is the cornerstone of my collection.
Nick mfn Van Ex... Yo I used to love his game back in the day.
Nick Van Exel. Man this man was one of the realest and most fearless ballers to ever step in the court.
Can y'all do T.J Ford, Luther head, Kenny Smith, Steve Smith, and Steve Francis
Oh Steve F
No
Nick taking a 17 foot free throw. wet
He use to drain them bitches lol
The Kenosha legend. Wisconsin in the building! Yall hit us with another classic!
414 baby!! wisco boyzzzz
Kenosha and Racine got two of the most underrated hoopers to ever play!
414 in the house.
Even tho I'm from Milwaukee, I always claimed Nick as hometown hero. Salute to the OG Nick the Quick. He used to give my brother that work in high school. (WISAA)
Billy Blanks that’s why I’m always glad when Caron always makes sure to say he’s from Racine and Nick makes sure to say he’s from Kenosha. It would be easy to say for them to say I’m from Milwaukee or the Milwaukee area.
Glad they rep their hometowns. Small towns need love too
First saw Nick play our great Michigan wolverines! He was a Monster! we knew he was special! Then, he became a great Pro!! Nick The Quick!!
Get Eddie Jones on the show!!!
It’s strange we never heard anything from him about Kobe Bryant’s death
@@MikeJones-fb3sz Well, we have heard anything from him period lol
Knuckleheads Back at it with the Heat 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾 Can we plz get a KG, Rasheed or Ben Wallace on here
Eddie Jones one of my favorite players ever definitely needs to be interviewed
Handles like Van Exel 💪🏾
Hov
NIck should've been a Laker for life
They stay wit the 🔥🔥. They need Charles Barkley, Kenny smith or Rasheed on here
The MOST UNDERRATED player of his era . A LEGEND . One of my favorite players EVER. Nick Van EXEL is the man
D miles And Q rich putting in that work keeping us Entertained during tough times 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I was at that game when Kenny Smith dropped 40 on Nick Van Exel in his first season. The date was December 26th 1993. I remember that day so well because my Dad just bought me Street Fighter 2 special champion edition, Game Gear TV Tuner, and that 6 button controller. My dad always mentions that game to me every time he sees Kenny Smith on TNT. That was the first Laker I ever went to and I still have the ticket stub! Wow!!!
PS Reggie Jordan #23 came to the Lakers in Nick's rookie season.
Nick is my dude! The spin dribble, the lefty threes, bumpin' referees--that was "Nick the Quick" (aka "Nick at Nite"). I rocked his "9" jersey back in the day and even got his autograph when the Lakers came to town.
Sam cassell was a walking bucket str8 🥶🥶 under rated like rod strickland
Factz
Sam Cassell had balls just like Nick
Can u bring Eddie Jones on the show
Please get Rafer Alston on here bruhs! We need to hear his basketball journey! 💯
Nick the QUICK was my LAKERS favorite player back in the day. I like he swings a knock out after bomb the 3 from downtown. I love it.
"The Blackest One" D miles with the Jet Life Hat..You just went up a couple points with me..frfr
And I know D Miles smoking
Fr he fux wit spitta......my nigga
Came to the comment section just to see who peeped game 🤙🏾
@@thafollowthru On everything I love 💯 same here bruh
He wore the jet life varsity jacket in one episode.
Them Illinois boys was setting the foundation for the Clippers: Corey Maggette, D Miles, Q Rich, Shaun Livingston, Troy Hudson, Tyrone Nesby 🔥
Nesby 😆.. I remember that fool
Nick is LEGENDARY!!!!!
Nick the quick, this man was a beast. One of my favorite guards to watch, I remember him from his Laker years, oh my goodness. A real assassin. I was mad when they let Kobe take the two last shots in one game that he air balled and Nick was clearly the man at that time.
My favorite player ever!!!! Period!!!!
Nick is the best
Man I love hearing these stories. Just imagine if Cinci had Michael Finley that’s wild!
Mannnnnn, them Bearcats would've killed everybody! Finley should've made that move. I'm from Detroit so it's Fab Five all day, but Cincinnati was the truth in those days...
Kenosha, Wi....I wanna see Shawn Kemp, Rod Strickland, Tim Hardaway, and Sam Cassell
Plus he was cold on all the NBA LIVE games especially dallas he had the 3pt sign under his name
NBA LIVE was the shit back in the da shit
Nick was the troof!!! Him & Cassell were a different Breed
Yes I would throw K.J and Rod Strickland you into that bunch also
AGREED!
Eddie Jones my favorite player to this day , I have his number 25 rookie jersey , nick , and Eddie back court was sick . 90 s Lakers my team!!!
Nick The Quick was that guy! Great ball handler, quickness, and can score. The Lakers sending him to Denver after the infamous 123 Cancun comment slowed his progress a little but can never question his game.
I just want to say I love you guys. I have learned so many things about former NBA players that I didn't know about them through you guys. I played college ball at Alabama State 92-94. Keep up the good work. You guys are great.
Gosh I used to like this guy so much. Such a great skillset. Amazing passes, nice touch behind the three point line, great handling and absolutely quick
Kenny Anderson, Rod Strickland should be on the list of guest
Finally Nick the quick! One of my favorite throwback players he was cold
I would love to see Grandmama Larry Johnson 💯...Get him on here🥇
Then have Alonzo Mourning after lol
Always thinking when are they going to LJ or Spree
@@julianschweitzer5492 I know right💯....Spree would be a awesome one...I would like to see Charlie Ward...How he eventually gravitated to basketball, and what type of basketball player he was in his youth.
one of my favorite Lakers of all time. Wish he couldve stayed as Kobe grew. Nicks handles was herky jerky at its finest,pigeon toed, ball on a string, pull up 3 ball was cash!
Agree!! What about his fake around the back pass to freeze the defender, his football cradle like a running back goin between the bigs, Allie oops to Eddie bones Jones, and his jab, cross, hook, upper cut after hitting a clutch 3 ooh wee. Good times!
@@natec7398 man you said handful. Time flies by quick
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I hadn’t seen this legend anywhere else’s
Yo I love how y’all bring that genuine real ness out of these legends fellas . It’s like sitting back watching the homies just chillin and talking they shit lol . Love that my dudes , keep it up !
Nick the Quick ... my first favorite player! This dude got me into basketball!
These dudes get EVERYBODY that nobody else thinks of. Salute!
Can u guys get Jamal Crawford on the show.
No
Can I just say, I just love watching Nick playing that point on the Lakers, He was the littlest but the fastest!!!
This the one im MOST EXCITED FOR!!! Nicky Van
ya'll been going in...nick the quick...one of my favz...he lookz exactly the same. the '95 version of Van Exel was my fav...he was clutch as hell that year
Yes!!!! Another killer as always.
Great interview Nick the Quick U.C Bearcats for life !! Cincinnati, Ohio
This is a freaking great one. A Midwest Legend.
Those Memphis Penny Hardaway teams vs Cincy's Nick Van Exel teams were epic, straight shootouts!
Nick the Quick!! One of my favorite NBA players. Sick lefty!!!
One of my favorite episodes (and I've seen all of them). Keep up the great content fellas!
I really love watching these guys! That Alonzo story by D Miles had me dying lol
Nick Van Excellent a true G
hahaha this was a really good episode! Thanks for getting Nick on here! It's so nice to meet these guys who i watched on tv, and only ever get to here them answer reporter's questions.
Instant like and very anticipated for me!
One of my first favorite players as a kid. Dang time flys. Nick the Quick!
So happy after watching this video.
Thank you!
Yo Knuckleheads y’all just don’t disappoint
This is who I been waiting for...Nick Van Excel!
I was a huge fan watching Nick at Cincinnati. And when he was in L.A . Growing up in Toronto Canada Nick had a lot of fans on the play ground wanting to be him.
Same here in NYC . Especially in Brooklyn
One of the most underrated players of all time
One of my favorite point guards of all time. He could really light it up. Very few college players took over games like Van Exel did at Cincinnati.
One of my favorite pg's since Cincy days. Salute
3:37 😒😒Dmiles Why u laughing that hard😂😂😂
Nick the Quick one of my fav players growing up. So underrated
Saint Nick the Quick Van Excellent🏀
Fell in love with basketball because of Nick!!!
Underrated Point Guard of the 90s
ayo q rich isn't larry hughes yah man when y'all gonna interview him
Facts. Larry is Q Rich big homie.
Larry so underrated!! The boy was a dawg 💪🏾💯
@@KCGB_4LYFE yeah he was
Played with Lebron and MJ that is a must
He was the O. G. FREAKSHOW in his prime Laker and nugget yrs. VANEXCELS flamboyant style of play and clutch shots made him a urban legend and will always be in my top 5 favorite nba players that inspired me to be one of the best unsung players in the midwest.
Nick! One of the most creative scorers & ball handlers
One of the best episodes! Keep it up Fellas
yall gotta get Dana Barros on the Pod. His name has been brought up a lot, alot.
100
@@danabarrostv2537 salute to the legend, himself! Rocked #3 in Philly before AI
And ask him about that HORRIBLE rap album lmao
Nick the Quick , I became a Lakers fan his Rookie year..Dude hit a fade away jumper from the wing against Boston.. At the Buzzer....I've been a Nick Van Excel fan/ Lakers fan every since...
Darius and Q really conduct a quality interview. This podcast is dope! Nick was my guy since he was in Cincy acting a fool on the court.
Thanks y all Been asking for Nick tha quick
I Love it Mayne Nick da Quick!!
Whats crazy is, I was a counselor at the Kryder camp in the summer of 1991. Jason Kid was one of the players I coached. Good shit with Nick the Quick 💯💯💯
Love Nick the Quick.
