Old post...despite his talent he wore out his welcome and was a headcase to coach nearly wherever he played. He used to eat pizza and hot dogs....during Wizards games when he was on the bench lol.
What is a HOF, It's the NBA! Been watching for 45yrs. There aren't big names and superstars on the court, but those players there all come from big-time NCAA programs 3,4 yrs. ! Rod is on another level, HOF level!
This is what today's players ALL need more of - fundamentals. That why Rod was so good. Fundamentals supersede athleticism every time in basketball which is a skill game first and foremost.
dude had real skills, bar jumpshot, he was an true baller b/c he did everything else. we had him in dc and he did some community work for the city while he was here. the funky fresh black tie affair....was his masterpiece event. special guest only, the stars movie, sports, music and "yours truly" attended :o) ironically,rod was very influential in john walls growth as a player.......now, he also is here in DC DC hoops all day
This is how Kyrie Irving learn how to finish at the basket. I love watching foot is like this because it helps me improve my game. Rod Strickland finish the basketball well and had a good crossover. I want to make it to the NBA to Aaron Swinton watch my name in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Been watching a lot of Dubs games lately, got familiar with Fitz and JB, but in the beginning of this video, from almost 20 yrs ago, they look kinda fun. gotta love JB, great basketball mind.
***** Rod Strickland entered his twilight years midway through the 2000-01 NBA season where he was still a solid PG with the Washington Wizards. At 34, Strickland was still a good player with the Wizards when he averaged 12.2 points per game, 3.2 rebounds per game, 7.0 assists per game, 1.3 steals per game and 0.1 blocks per game,... ,...all around the neighborhood of just above 30 minutes, around 30 to 31 minutes per game while starting in 28 of the 33 games he played for Washington in 2000-01, indicating that Strickland was a starter at PG for the '00-'01 Wizards. However, the Washington Wizards ended up letting Strickland go midseason via buyout when Michael Jordan tried to get rid of the infamous Washington trifecta of overpaid stars such as Rod Strickland, Juwan Howard and Mitch Richmond during 2000-01 due to their high salaries handcuffing the Wizards' inability to sign major NBA star players via free agency. __ So here's a look at Rod Strickland's stats during his twilight years with Portland, Miami, Minnesota, Orlando, Toronto and Houston from the second half of 2000-01 to 2004-05: 1.(2000-01 Portland Trail Blazers): Role:Reserve PG behind Damon Stoudamire GP/GS:0 out of 21 games started Minutes Per Game:Somewhere around 16-17 mins. per game PPG:4.6 RPG:1.7 APG:3.4 SPG:0.5 BPG:0.0 2.(2001-02 Miami Heat): Role:Starting PG ahead of Anthony Carter GP/GS:64 out of 76 games started Minutes Per Game:30 per game PPG:10.4 RPG:3.1 APG:6.1 SPG:1.1 BPG:0.1 3.(2002-03 Minnesota Timberwolves): Role:Reserve PG behind some guy named Troy Hudson GP/GS:8 out of 47 games started Minutes Per Game:20 per game PPG:6.8 RPG:2.0 APG:4.6 SPG:1.0 BPG:0.1 4.(2003-04 Orlando Magic) Role:Reserve PG probably behind Tyronn Lue GP/GS:9 out of 46 games started Minutes Per Game:Somewhere around 19-20 mins. per game PPG:6.8 RPG:2.6 APG:4.0 SPG:0.6 BPG:0.2 5.(2003-04 Toronto Raptors) Role:Reserve PG GP/GS:1 out of 15 games started Minutes Per Game:Somewhere around 18-19 mins. per game PPG:4.7 RPG:2.5 APG:3.9 BPG:0.5 SPG:0.3 6.(2004-05 Houston Rockets) Role:Reserve PG behind a combination of Bob Sura, Charlie Ward, Tyronn Lue and Mike James Minutes Per Game:A mere 12 per game which isn't enough for Strickland to maximise his inflated statsheet for '04-'05. PPG:1.8 RPG:1.7 APG:2.4 BPG:0.2 SPG:0.1 So anyway, Mr. ***** tell me which one of those twilight year type seasons from 2000-01 to 2004-05 do you think was the best all-around season for Rod Strickland in terms of role and minutes per game, plus the bestest across-the-board stats for Strickland during those years? And who 'oughta forget that many remember Rod Strickland as the guy who is infamous for eating a poor diet which leads to him eating all sorts of junk food such as hot dogs, nachos and pizzas. I bet many look back at the junk food habits as his biggest lore in the NBA.
Look how competitive it was then. That crazy to me, modern ball players typically don't d up. Nowadays ppl can be considered all star caliber players and have wack defense. That's corny to me. An all star hooper should be great on both sides of the ball not just one.
Back in the day when the C Webb curse began... No Mully, No Timmy, Spree was suspended... and it rosters sucks....just a bunch of bench players that did nothing in the league...from 1997-2006
I think some of these guys from the 90's could have numbers like Steph if they shot as many threes as he did. Maybe only a few could shoot as far but I think they had that kind of 3 point shooting talent back then, just a different play style that didn't include a player averaging 8 3 point attempts per game.
+LamarMatic Some time down the road can you do Rod Strickland games from the 1994, 1995, 1996 Playoffs? He averaged 22-5-10 on 45% in those 3 playoffs which is pretty much Chris Paul's playoff numbers
My newest video is of Rod Strickland in the 1994 Playoffs against the Rockets in that series, when he had 23.5 ppg and 9.8 apg. I included all made FGs, shooting fouls he drew, and assists. I made sure to recount the stats for each game with my video clips, and they matched with the box scores. "Rod Strickland 23.5 PPG / 9.8 APG - 1994 Playoffs 1st Rd "
+LamarMatic haha so funny. I just told some you tuber Chris Paul is overrated and I would take KJ, Rod Strickland, Gary Payton and Fat Lever over CP3 and he got his feelings hurt. It's on a channel some young buck must have made about top 10 point guards.
+Amjbmcg Warriors weren't a good team and Bullets/Wizards weren't great either despite a couple play-off appearances. Saying this era was weak is like watching the Sixers vs the Lakers now and saying the 10's suck.
A criminally slept on guard from the 90s, underrated and highly consistent.
Julian Mihdi FACTS HE WAS SO NICE 👍🏻
Man that’s Kyrie Irving’s peoples. He slept on by media. But all true ballers know this nigga main!!!! Strickland been 🔥 Van Excel another one.
Because the guards were stack at that period and the media only focused on known SGs
@@snomelc920JThat's Kyrie's godfather
Rod had a smooth game. It looked like he never sweat. People forget how good of a outside shooter Tracy Murray was.
I watched him play at UCLA
Rod Strickland's son Terrell Strickland is on my basketball team the kid plays just like his dad and he's helping our team out a lot.
college or high school?
ethan shamblin FACTS I SEEN A VIDEO YESTERDAY I WAS LIKE DAMN HE PLAYS LIKE HIS POPS!!!
how do you lead the league in assists and NOT make the all star team smh. Rod is one of the all time most underappreciated players ever.
He wasn't with the illuminati type vibes behind the scenes so THEY didn't elevate him
Westbrook did while with the Wizards and didn’t make the all star team
Rod was my favorite player growing up. His ability to finish around the rim and his behind the back moves were a thing of beauty
Rod was a beast who was hated on by the league...don't know why...he had the whole package and was a fierce finisher at the rim...sick
cariocabassa yeah. And the best part, he can't shoot very well. Amazing how a guy of his size did it despite not having reliable jumpshot.
He was a nut case who use to fight with his teammates and had a temper like a 3 year old!
Definitely one of my favorite players of all-time. He was so fun to watch and a cool customer. So underrated.
Old post...despite his talent he wore out his welcome and was a headcase to coach nearly wherever he played.
He used to eat pizza and hot dogs....during Wizards games when he was on the bench lol.

Tracy murray had 50 too this game that crazy lol they both where cooking!
This is what today's players ALL need more of - fundamentals. That why Rod was so good. Fundamentals supersede athleticism every time in basketball which is a skill game first and foremost.
It’s really ashamed that rod was never selected in the all star game. He was so consistent
dude had real skills, bar jumpshot, he was an true baller b/c he did everything else.
we had him in dc and he did some community work for the city while he was here. the funky fresh black tie affair....was his masterpiece event. special guest only, the stars movie, sports, music and "yours truly" attended :o) ironically,rod was very influential in john walls growth as a player.......now, he also is here in DC
DC hoops all day
Rod got robbed that year - he shoulda been an all-star. And holy crap was it Tracey Murray's birthday or what?
This is how Kyrie Irving learn how to finish at the basket. I love watching foot is like this because it helps me improve my game. Rod Strickland finish the basketball well and had a good crossover. I want to make it to the NBA to Aaron Swinton watch my name in the 2020 NBA Draft.
+Aaron Swinton the fact is Rod Strickland a real-life godfather to Kyrie Irving.
Well damn, somebody guard that man! 50! Murray and Rod went to work that night. They looked like Magic and Kobe on the same squad
Tracy Murray was legit
Did you hear the "Woo!" every time he made body contact inside the ring when making the lay up? @3:40, @4:20,
This brotha was nasty. Very underrated
He had his big boy game working that night night. He was wearing Delk and whoever else out on the post ups..
Jus smooth as silk
Wow....i put this warriors team out of my memory - not one of their guys should have been anywhere near a starting lineup
Been watching a lot of Dubs games lately, got familiar with Fitz and JB, but in the beginning of this video, from almost 20 yrs ago, they look kinda fun. gotta love JB, great basketball mind.
Young Ben Wallace!
DePaul finest
the 1998 new arena in Oakland after a remodel, would be empty of NBA hoops 20 years later....

Guaranteed, made em jump like Rod Strickland.
Raekwon
Rod always made the right play
rod was sick
ROD STRICKLAND WAS THAT BUL!!!!!! SKILLS
I saw this guy in person at a hotel in Memphis for a national tournament
Insane statline. Rondo-esque
If only he had a consistent 'J'. What COULD have been. Deceptively strong, pristine handle.
Westbrook should learn some of his post moves
Westbrook should just learn how to pass the ball versus jackin' up all kinds of crazy shots!
@ 8:20 Shammgod Wells sighting
God damn.
Rod Strickland gets no respect when Westbrook had their 20-20-20 game they didn't even mention his name wow
Strictland = Irving
jtreynol not sure if it was strickland but he might be his godfather.
Yeah he is his godfather

Everybody playing defense. Cant say that anymore
Murray was about that 3 ball. 😅
Murray can score..
Nyc stand up!!
JUAN HOWARD!
Is this the same game that Tracy Murray scored 50?
+kidkarma7 Yes. You can find highlights of his 50 on my channel as well.

+Nobody Touches Jordan somebody already loaded all four games of the 1994 playoffs that he played.

Fat Lever was nasty
Kyrie Irving play just like him
Tony delk is the weak link on D smh.
Damn the 90's was unbelievably weak.
