I KNEW I didn't dream this up! I vividly remembered as a kid having a memory of Ahmad Rashad playing in a single NBA game and making a shot, as crazy as it sounds. Finally somebody has uploaded the proof!
Yeah, I saw this as a 9 year old in 1990. It was shown during a segment on Inside Stuff which aired on NBC on Saturday mornings. I can't seem to find out whether this was in an actual game or just preseason though. I also remember them showing a montage of footage from this PR stunt during the end credits with Tony Tony Toné's It Feels Good as the background music. I really miss those times.
@@victorarreola I guess he just has a real passion for basketball despite being a former NFL player that never played in the NBA outside of this publicity stunt.
This was the very first preseason game at Target Center. Oct 16, 1990. Rumor had it that Ahmad Rashad (ex-Vikings great, fan fave before his NBC gig) was going to suit up and play some mins. Tickets were tough to come by. I know this. I lived it!
@@goodman5836 They used to hang out all the time. For years Jordan had a clause in his contract for NBC games that only Rashad could interview him, and Ahmad always covered the Bulls sideline reports
He works for the NBA for years now...Like an Ambassador/Speaker. He travels all over the world he's the host of The Basketball HOF for years he been on the Golf Channel etc He has a game show coming out He has a show on ESPN+ He's everywhere you just gotta look. He's on Twitter & IG.✌🏽
Great clip. If this was Ahmad in his younger days........he would probably be the fastest guy on the court at least. Which would help driving to the hoop.
Hell.. Will Ferrell played some MLB spring training games, be cool to see someone interesting, or a NFL star play a preseason game. Or a reporter, how about Brian Windhorst?? Man knows his stuff 😂
He's Phylicia Rashād's ex-husband and he hosted this show back in the 90s up until 2005 called "NBA Inside Stuff" which was on NBC on Saturday mornings on TNBC.
Ahmad looks a little out of shape in this video. Clearly, the basketball world wasn’t ready for a guy as old as Vince Carter. Then again, look at how Vince takes care of himself.
Only guy with 100% fg in his career. GOAT
@ No other people played in both too
But it was preseason so it doesn’t count.

I was like "Didn't he play in the NBA?"
I always assumed he played lol ...I remember seeing him in his basketball show he used to be in
@@victorarreola I guess he just has a real passion for basketball despite being a former NFL player that never played in the NBA outside of this publicity stunt.
victorarreola he played football
wow I can't imagine any team in the nba doing this nowadays
They don’t have the vision these days. Clearly a diamond in the rough.
Tony Romo
nete Burleson may be because same position wide receiver
Master P had a preseason run with the Raptors back in the day. Seemed recent but then I realized I'm old and it was actually 20 years ago.
The closest they got was Tony Romo that one tine lol
The old NBA Inside Stuff was the show. All of memories
A lot of people forget he was a 4-time all pro NFL WR.
I can't believe he's 71 years old
Dude is a legend.
I love when fun stuff like this happens in sports lol
Rare these days

That guy has connects with the right people!
Damn he shot that J like MJ
Good Man they were best friends
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T I realised. You could see it in the interviews
@@goodman5836 They used to hang out all the time. For years Jordan had a clause in his contract for NBC games that only Rashad could interview him, and Ahmad always covered the Bulls sideline reports
Don’t think any of these guys could cover him on a post route in the NFL in his prime.
toasted on the 1st play! 😂😂😂 Hersey probably went right back to the scorers table 😂😂😂
He could’ve honestly been a hooper if he wanted to
He got a nice form for a wide receiver.
I mean... I lot of professional athletes played multiple sports in High school
What a memory to have. That’s amazing
hes probably better than half the sixers current roster
Generic Asian Guy yep
Generic Asian Guy old ass joke they don't even have the worst record in the league
Phillyfan 25 if it ain't broke don't fix it
Phillyfan 25 lol second worst record in the league is such a big improvement
My main man, Ahmad Rashad !!
I miss him, I hope he gets back to the NBA media.
You guys need to see how owned Shaq back then lol
Ahmad is already 70 years old
He works for the NBA for years now...Like an Ambassador/Speaker. He travels all over the world he's the host of The Basketball HOF for years he been on the Golf Channel etc He has a game show coming out He has a show on ESPN+ He's everywhere you just gotta look. He's on Twitter & IG.✌🏽
Ahmad was a great NFL player!
I still remember Gary Payton and Webber's reaction to this lmao.
GP: "WHAT. THE. HECK?!"
Rashad: "Only one to shoot 100%"
Ha, Mahorn: His two points really made a difference (rolls eyes)
Ole school classic footage
!!!JEEZ !!!
If it ain't MY MAIN MAN AHMAD RASHAD
Mahor rocking them Pistons sweatpants in Philly.
0:42 pinky up! classy!
Tony Campbell didn't even give Ahmad 5 seconds to get used to the game.
Wow. This is awesome. The world pre 1997
Great clip. If this was Ahmad in his younger days........he would probably be the fastest guy on the court at least. Which would help driving to the hoop.
Chuck is so thin lol
The good old days!
I watched NBA Inside Stuff all the time and I'm just now seeing this

Literally 3 seconds into his first game and he causes the opponent team a 3-point play LMAO
And to Tony Campbell. Why doesn't he just give up a 3 point play to Sam Bowie while he's at it.
When are you guys going to upload the rigged game highlights of Raptors vs Kings?
Travis Roopnarine ikr
Bruh kings have always been at the wrong end of calls that decide games for years now dont even try to say that was rigged.
100% FG and he won every game.
He hasn't aged since

That's Rick Mahorne one of the Bad Boys that's why!!

Never knew this happened. I loved watching NBA Inside Stuff in the 90s
Found out much later his ex wife was Mrs Huxtable and he played in the NFL
That’s crazy the nba let him do that
I need to watch every episode of inside stuff
I wish this happened to me!
Dream on!
@@Derek-iy9vu already am.

بالتوفيق للفرعون المصري الصغير أحمد رشاد
Buddy was hating
If Ahmad Rashad was allowed to play why didn't they let Tony Romo play for the Mavs in their final game 3 years ago?
They must’ve been tanking for the process
Lol no wonder barkley demanded to be traded
Why isn’t he wearing no. 28 though???
Mount Tahoma alumni
Wait, did the sixers actually let him play in a professional NBA game for like 30 seconds?
It's in the preseason.

Ex-husband?

Ahmad Rashad, NFL wide receiver back in the 70's. He hosted NBA Inside Stuff and this is for the show.
Austin Full wow! I didn't know he was a football player!!! Learned something new today!
Ahmad looks a little out of shape in this video. Clearly, the basketball world wasn’t ready for a guy as old as Vince Carter. Then again, look at how Vince takes care of himself.
