Tom Gugliotta: Top scorer on a short lived trio with Garnett and Marbury | Forgotten Player Profiles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2023
- Ahead of his time and incredibly versatile when he came to the NBA in 1992, Tom Gugliotta spent 8 seasons consistently progressing and becoming one of the top players in the league while being the top scorer on some young Minnesota Timberwolves teams that featured Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury. But then after being acquired by the Suns as one of the most coveted free agents of the 1998 NBA offseason, about a year later he'd be fighting for his life, and then recovering only to suffer a career altering injury months later. Although he came back from it, he was never the same player and unfortunately, Tom Gugliotta's near decade of exceptional play became more and more forgotten as the years went on, so today we're going to talk about Tom "Googs" Gugliotta.

I am glad this video exists, Gugliotta was a very good player
He really was man. That Timberwolves team had potential.
He would play great in today's NBA, underrated injuries shortened his career, he was traded for Chris Webber that's how good Googs was.
Not to mention Washington's 98,99 & 2000 first round picks.... It wasn't just a player for player trade. And the if Washington kept that 99 pick and the player chosen with the pick ended up being: Vince Carter....
I remember when he played for the-WOLVES-with rookie Garnett,what a duo.
That dude was nice. Man i miss 80s & 90s basketball
Very athletic. He was very quick for a big man and could handle the rock like a guard. He played point guard in high school.
Googs was a bucket 🏀
He was A BEAST IN NBA LIVE. FACTS‼️
NBA Jam Tournament Edition, too!!
Really appreciate your love for the game by acknowledging other great players
I couldn’t stand Gug’s as a kid
But I did not realize how good He really was.
I didn’t really get it until now
Very well done video 👍 👏👏
Curious why?
Googs played a style that would fit todays game, he was like how euro players played back in the 90s. He could pass, handle , shoot 3s but also could rebound and play D.
Damn I forgot all about him!! He was definitely a solid player💪🏽
Stephon Marbury, Glen Rice, Mitch Richmond and Shawn Kemp arent discussed enough if at all. would love some vids on them.
keep up the good work!
Shawn Kemp should be in HOF!
I live in Minnesota and many of us are still bewildered that he left. Understandable though. He was on a Suns team with a higher ceiling. Injuries destroyed that Suns team.
Definitely a very underrated player. They never sold his NY back ground or his prep career that would’ve endeared fans to him a bit more … probably should’ve never left Minnesota. For the franchise anyway. I believe he & KG could’ve taken them places had they just made a better trade for Marbury & kept Googs … & 45% is solid no matter the era if you take shots from any where over 5 ft from the basket .
Lol I remember growing up watching Gugs, I always thought he was a Euro lol.
You can’t sell a “NY background” with someone from Long Island lol
That’s only works when you’re from the 5 boroughs
We need a Sidney Moncrief video.
How about a video on Alvin Robertson? Dude is majorly underrated.
Googs is such a fun player to use in MyNBA eras! Thank you for giving him some much needed respect!!
I appreciate you for this one. Alot if people don't know about my boy. I wasn't a Wolves fan, but I liked their team. I played with them on games
Gugly gugly guglyoootaaaa! Fantastic player. Fearless. Great head of hair.
Drazen Petrovic... He's like one of the only players I've seen go hard at MJ with no fear... Had some of his best games against Michael if I'm remembering correctly.
4th string in Portland lol...
So under RATED!
GOOGS! NC STATE!
Your vids are fire man....Alex English and Andrew Toney would he great additions
Fyi, you keep mentioning 3pt attempts as a negative in these videos. Pre 2015-16 3pt shooting wasn't big. Pre mid 00s it was rare someone would shoot 8 3pt a game.
Unless you are Reggie or ray
Different leagues this modern league is soft old league was post dominant
I agree , actually he was a solid 3 point shooter for the time… one of the precursors to where the game was going as far as bigs …
Shooting 3 at this time was not as big as it is now because only few players could live beyond the 3 point line. Others visited the 3 pt line.
And remember the game was much slower than meaning less attempts.ijs.
✊🏾☮!!! Tom was Baller tho!!
Tom Gugliotta was a good player that put up numbers when he played and to me deserves more credit overall as a player who played in this league. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Such a good player. It's amazing how loaded college teams were back then. You didn't really hear about him at all (nationally) with that Fire and Ice backcourt getting all of the headlines. I was always surprised that NC State team didn't go deeper into the tournament in retrospect but there were a lot of teams loaded with multiple pro prospects back then.
In 1989 NC State won the ACC. Was cheated in the Sweet 16 vs Georgetown. The next year Valvano was dismissed and it was all over
Best old school NBA channel on UA-cam. Keep them coming man
Googs and sprewell on nba jam te attributes wise was the best pair on that game .. huge googs fan he use to put in work on the court
Rony Seikaly was a monster, too!! Then when you unlocked the roster and got Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway, they became totally unstoppable!
The moral of the story is Minnesota should've kept the draft rights to Ray Allen instead of drafting Marbury. That was the domino effect that lead to Googs leaving thus opening the door for the Joe Smith contract which cost them those draft picks years later and ultimately lead to them not being able to sustain competitiveness. The final result of this all was Garnett ending up in Boston
Was legit gonna ask for this lol
He was dope ! Loved he and Bonzi Wells games
Refusal to routinely shoot jumpers hurt them a lot
I feel like we need a series on "transition eras" of NBA teams, like the Suns era between the Barkley/KJ era and the "seven seconds or less" era, or the '90s Mavs. Playoff "also-rans" of the 80s and 90s would be a good series also
I like that transition eras idea
He was so good! Googs was absolutely underrated.
I made an all best white team once on a video game back in the nineties and gugliotta made the team. as I wanted to experiment with a challenge in the game.
Gugs was on of my favorite players man I loved me some Gugs
Your channel is beginning to become my top 3 favorite channels
Sarunas Marciulonis, Drazem Petrovic
NC State Legend
Chris Gatling - super high shooting percentage, and at least one gameca year he would go off, would do a shimmy shimmy after a good move
Gatling was a ball player!! A force on the block with that left hand
Grest page.. blessed by the algo 🙏
Damn, I did not know Vince Carter replaced tom Gugliotta for the Olympic team
I was tickled by you saying his (Gugliotta's) withdrawal from the US National team had a "silver lining" ... true, it was an amazing in game dunk ... but maybe that could've waited until your Vince Carter video ... assuming you do one. Great job !
VC isn't a forgotten player
Met Googs in 2003 after a home game against Denver. Got his autograph and then somehow lost it some time after. Also has Amare Stoudemire on it. Every once in a while I think of some random place it could still be and look over 20 years later.
This is a great channel.
Loving this channel, subscribed
One of the first basketball cards I ever got.
Thank you
Thus channel is the sweetest nostalgia damn I'm reliving my BNBL years project survival the mayor's Christmas tournament great post
Gug was a beast
Love your videos. Will you do one on Mark Price please?
I second this
Mark Price was a bad boy
The original Steph Curry.
@@zeroturn7091 WAY better than stephanie. a true playmaker and sniper
@@bushmastersavimbi3379Haterrrrrr
Great content 💯
Great videos
Love the channel
Awesome video! Please do Allen Houston &/or Latrell Sprewell when they spent their time in NYC or individually
Ronnie Seikaly, Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson, Rod Strickland
Seikaly and Coleman starred on that legendary Syracuse team, what a front court!! Rod Strickland, the most underrated PG ever, NY was so dumb letting him get away
@@bigglilwayne7050 I heard Seikaly is a big time DJ now and spins the dope beats.
Dope!
Requesting for a Kevin Martin FPP!
Love him in DC!
Great video. Well done, dude.
Appreciate it!
@@ForgottenPlayerProfiles I look forward to watching your other sports videos.
Never heard of him. Thanks
I was thinking about him recently as a former Warrior fan who was trying to remember who we traded Webber for.
Yup. It was Googs. The Warriors really traded him to Minnesota for Donyell Marshall was to get those 3 picks back they lost for the Webber/ Googs trade
Great video i played a bunch of pick up games with gugs. He would go back to long island during the summer and play games whitman the gym is named after frank
Dang this guy is way ahead of his time and a three point shooter much like Laimbeer
"Googily Oogily Oogily Baby!"
can you do tiny archibald next he the only player to average 30 points and 10 assists in a season
Lol it's so wild how much it hurts me when I see a guy take a jumpshot from just inside the 3 pt line. Like dude, go a few inches back and get that extra point. I've watched since Bird and Magic and I don't think that bothered me before but watching these old clips of great shooters like Gugliotta its so obvious.
He would be a center in today style.He didn't play power forward in Minnesota. Remember garnett was the small forward
This guy was also in my NBA in the zone 2000 team.
GOOGS WAS GREAT BALL HANDLER HIM AND KG BOTH 6'10 HAD DRIBBLING. KG LATER GREW UP ALMOST 7 FEET.
Can we get what happened to Jamal Mashburn AKA Monster Mash by the way these are great keep it up
I remember that C-Webb/Googs trade... as a warrior fan I hate it... it was good on paper but I knew he wasnt going to have that "it" factor that Webber had... The warriors began that season (94-95) 7-0 and then came the trade and hell broke loose
The dude that runs this channel has got to be from Minnesota to be making a video on this dude. Troy Hudson video next??
I wore that jersey. Wore it alon with my Jeff Gordon rainbow print Dupont jacket.
Jeff Hornacek next please
He was legit like a lot of players that never became well known
I went to the Cap Center/US Air Arena to watch the 93 and 94 Bullets a few times. It was dreary.
The spg for a pf is impressive
Googs was a beast
I think they had JR Rider too
It just wasn't Marbury, it seemed like Minnesota was really going through it with a lot of players. I think Donyell Marshall had issues with the coach. Isiah Rider and his attitude. Christian Laettner was also jealous of KG. Sad when ego and money messes up a good thing.
Awesome video, can you do tex chapman?
cant find anything on brother charlie but brother frank jr played briefly in the cba in 1978-79
Cab you do DERRICK COLEMAN.. THANK YOU
Do a joe smith profile
He'd be even better in today's NBA.. would have worked on & thus improved & shot more 3's in an era with more emphasis on the shot. He was after all a very good 3pt shooter in college, taking 8 a game his sr year.
GOOGS!!!
Can you also do a video about Danny Manning and Rex Chapman? Tnx
i would like to see a Dan Majerle or a Xavier McDaniel video
I was a college student at Bowie State University in the DC area, when googs was drafted. He was a beast, and totally underrated. He was a spread small forward before they even started calling it that. He played like the brothas, and you could see that in his game. He definitely played with black folks when he was growing up.
Googs!!!!!
Olden Polynice, Pete Chilcutt, Sam Adams, Robery Pack, Rodney Rodgers
Gugs!!!!!
Rod Strickland
Do Ron Strickland or Damon stoudamire
Sean Elliott or Avery Johnson.... Jr Rider Harold Miner
Rod Strickland.
Adam Morrison!!
That Minnesota team was special man, if only it had worked out it would have been a force to be reckoned with in the West smh
Could you do one on Todd Day
I could do that one. A great shooter outta Memphis. Could fill it up but was weak & had a big mouth. Arkansas was #2 in the rankings and hosted #1 UNLV on a Sunday afternoon game. UNLV dominated them and Larry Johnson got ejected for punking Todd Day and his big mouth. The End
He was a smart player business wise
pls do gerald wallace
Stephon Mebury ruined it all. Those were such fun teams...
Kobe changed his jersey number from 8 to 24 for googs nbs
Carl Herrera, Elden Campbell
Hey, do Andrei Kirelenko aka AK47
