How GOOD Was The Professor ACTUALLY? Could He Have Made The NBA? In this video I talk about Grayson Boucher who is also known as the professor. He is arguably the best ball handler in the world and is also probably the most famous streetball player in the world. Many people believe that he should be in the nba while others think his play style is a gimmick and he would not be a pro player anywhere. In this video I tell you guys how good I think he was based on the research I have done and my experience of playing in a low level pro league in Europe - Спорт
The Professor may not have been able to play in the NBA, mostly cause he's relatively small, but he HAS been making his living playing bball for years, so that makes him a professional.
He could easily play in the NBA if he really wanted to..The fact everyone says he is too small look at Spud Web or Mugsy Boghes.. Easily as good as those guys were
@@XXXCRSPL
Those guys were really strong despite their height and athletic freak.
The Professor was averaging 4.5 PPG in the CBA, his career high was 16 points in a single game.
A former NBA bench warmer, Matt Freije averaged 19.5 PPG and 9.7 TRB in the CBA.
The talent gap is huge between the lower pros and the major pros.
I played College and JuCo ball in Canada and I was always the best player on the court almost everywhere I played, except when a pro or another Collegiate athlete showed up.
Their has been smaller NBA players look at spud webb he was 5' 6" quite a bit shorter than the professor.
Muggsy Bogues (1.60 metros) , any comment?
@@leandrovallendor3346
Different strength and athleticism.
Bogues was an incredible defender and passer in College, for Team USA and in the NBA. He was always the leader of his team in steals and assists.
And he was able to score and attack the basket when he needed to. Completely different players.
There are reasons why the Professor was a back-up PG in the CBA. Defensively, he was a solid liability. If you're not an incredible scorer, you won't play pro ball if you are a horrible defender.
But could he do it on a cold night in stoke?
Hazardous 2003 lmao

“Professor is not athletic”
Meanwhile: professor dunk when he’s only 5’10
Not sure what this Irishman is talking about. You could critique a lot if his moves as drawing a carry or traveling or double dribble, even in the NBA which never calls carrying or traveling much. But dude has hops and is cat like quick. To say he is not athletic is just ignorant
That is what I thought. Buddy spends 4 to 8 hours a day playing ball and not athletic? Ignorant thing to say. Professor is not tall and heavy built but look at his speed and reaction time
I agree but at the time he was talking about the NBA. In comparison no, he’s not athletic! Merry Xmas!
@Kratos God of war yep he said it in his dunking vid
@@MILKandTWOSUGAR1 In what way?
Forget the NBA...sign this man up to the Globetrotters 😁
This man lives up to his name, as a street baller he made a profession out of basketball, you don’t have to be in the nba to be a pro basketball player as you can see this man took a different route.
Adrian M ThePRO
Very well put and I couldn't agree more.
Good point Adrian
Lol professor does not mean making a profession out of something, it means being a teacher by trade.
Adrian M ThePRO u dumb
It's insanity how hard he plays, just shows you that you don't even need all that muscle just pure skill
Back when big clothes were the shit hahaha
Charles Ford Jr ya now look at it...you youngins took it back to the late 80s...lookin dumb af wearing tight gayass shirts an jeans but sagging the tight jeans past your ass lmfao. You cats think you look fly...but you dont. Idc how much your tight girl jeans cost lmfao
Frank L baggy clothes dont equal gangbangers shitlips
mj dub of course it doesn't keyboard warrior, you guys just think you are when u wear it. Bunch of pussies lol ay, news flash though - women don't think blankets for shirts is attractive. Try hitting the gym little man
I still see dudes in their 40s dressing like this...
@@mjdub1013 actually they do.
this man does not know the meaning of the word "athletic".
I think he meant that he had low physicality because of his height and weight. But professor more than makes up for those limitations IMO.
he may be talking about running endurance and overall physicality. Professor only really plays half court in his videos, under a low pressure and low speed game, and doesn't have the size or strength to push heavier and taller people around. He could be OK as a guard but still.
this video sucks, white chocolate and steve nash are athletic? come on
Flesh and blood? Yucksss
You must be on drugs!
He could absolutely be a functional player in the NBA, at least from an offensive perspective. His issue would be defensive matchups. He was simply born undersized to fill well in a game dominated today by giants.
I agree; the NBA's level of team defense and those giants are quick!
I mean Isiah Thomas is about his height
@@bradenlosson2174 Yeah but Isiah somewhat makes up for his lack of height with his strong stature and body control... yet he still remains a defensive liability. As talented as The Professor is, his athleticism is far behind NBA players, and he doesn’t have the play style that would allow him to play at such a high level
I disagree. Imagine him trying to dribble around a Gary Payton II, Pat Beverley or Jrue Holiday. Any of the long wing players in the league would straight up shut him down.
Ever heard of Muggsy Bogues? Dominated in the NBA. Everyone hated going against him
I appreciate the honest, unbisased, video mate.
Karl Pilkington lmao pilkington
The Karl Pilkington.
Karl Pilkington totally agree with you, a great vid and he’s totally correct
H
Agreed
Even if you don’t think he should be in the NBA, how can you think he’s a bad basketball player lol
Jack L dude lets see u 1on1 him
mark clark what are you saying
Jack L dude cant read
@@markclark6491 try to read the comment a hundred times and translate it to google translate to understand
@Jack L did you even watch the video? He didn't say he was bad, he even went out of his way multiple times to say he didn't think he was bad, lol. Maybe try to actually listen instead of only hearing what you want to hear next time.
The professional version of the The Professor is Jason Williams, no doubt.
Exactly!!!
He is way better.
Professor is better.
John Smith Uhh
@Pink Alien He's not as good as i thought, you guys a right, My bad!
Professor with crazy skills as always, and he's super cool with his fans.
Btw love the slo mo replays

NBA players should be glad he wasn't 6' 2" cause he would have been GREAT!
Sideshow The Game Freak reason why he moves that quick because of his height and his height so if he was 6ft trust me he wouldn’t be as fast , for a reason he was born a small guy cause he’s awesome
Size ain't shit Google Muggsy Bogues motherfuckers
Sideshow The Game Freak yeah amazing carries
He Carry's every to second he
His moves are illegal that’s why NBA won’t accept him, and yeah includes his height
Who remembers Hot Sauce?
Patrick Bronske some people be like water I be like sauce
Patrick Bronske sauce was crazy
Me n my friends used to be dribbling on the floor yelling hot sauce jheez
Patrick Bronske Hot Sauce,And1 and the And1 Mixtapes were classic. They all at one point or another talk shit to each other about how good they are LOL Hot Sauce is probly somewhere broke AF!
Yeah Pat, I was fon of Sauce !
Wait professor cant get into the NBA but the balls family can ?
Wow that just blown my mind
Professor is a basketball legend who makes stealing 100 times per professional game look easy on defense. And on offesne, he makes doing insane super-fast dribbling tricks that 100% confuse the defender followed by either laying up, or BACKING UP and shooting BOTH look too easy!!
Which is part of why he makes NBA
@@TheGaming100 most professor's opponent on his vids has no defense, unlike on nba he will get destroyed
@@chris9yearsago698 Well, he did score on NBA's in practice and also easily swept off college athletes in some of his videos.
If somebody can easily shrug off college athletes and not see them as much of a challenge, where does that put them? As in, the level of pro basketball after college.
@@TheGaming100 would gladly like to see that :)
NBA player Muggsy Bogues was 5 foot 3 and he made it in Space Jam too!!!
No joke every ball player I know loves Space Jam
My cousin mugsy went into the Nba I don't see why professor would not be able to
Because hes white
@@jamal_yt1361 No doubt bro. And Mugs had a lengthy career also.
@@richpoor146 why is nobody complaining about this bein racist now? If he said hes black there would ewwww racist fuq u😑😑😒
Globetrotter material...
YEP! Professor just isn't Black American which was a chief point of the Globetrotters back when I was a young watcher of Meadowlark Lemon and the gang.I think Pistol Pete Maravich would've love being a Trotter because he had those great type skills.
Exactly
Finless Bob that’s what I was thinking
For all those people trying to save time the answer is: No.
Rodney Morales Can this comment be pinned on top 😂😂😂
I agree, he has GREAT handles and I mean AMAZING but he needs work pretty much everywhere else
Yes he could.
YoungBaller ShepTownCards he makes almost every shot, he’s good at layups and he blocks people twice his size
Rodney Morales thank you kind sir
He may be small but did you say not athletic? It takes so much physical stamina, hand eye coordination and reflexes to be able to pull off what he does. Technically, he's more athletic than many NBA players.
That's a degree of athleticism, the other aspect is speed, strength, and size. He has none of those, he would not be anywhere near as fast, strong, or big as NBA players. And he can't dunk. He's not an allen iverson and he's too big to be a muggsy bogues who was quick with steals. But doesn't mean he's bad.
He carries and or palms the ball a lot.
A lot of his moves would be illegal at the professional level.
Lack of size was not his main limitation.
Andrae Eyo you think he doesn’t know that? He could easily change his dribble form. My point is that NBA is all about putting on a show for the crowd and he would be a real crowd pleaser.
ViralVotex94
You're joking right?
Crowd pleasers audition and play for the Harlem Globetrotters.
Andrae Eyo I like how we’re in a full on argument
A BAD BASKETBALL PLAYER !? What ? The dude is absolutely amazing. Whoever said he was a bad basketball player ? Lol that's the funniest comment I've heard this week
Basketball is a team sport, not an individual beauty contest.
beatonthedonis47 see his passing skills. And thats just straight talent and self taught no training with expensive coaches and team.
Professor will be a highlight in the NBA.
Aris Domingo by team sport he meant knowing offensive and defensive schemes, using screens, catching and shooting, stuff like that. He’s short and not very athletic which is a bad combo for defending, he’d be gassed chasing stronger, faster guys all over the court. No doubt he’s an amazing ball handler and a pretty good passer but he would be annihilated in the nba
He is a baller no doubt but alot of his street ball moves are illegal in pro basketball he Carrys slot while dribbling and his crossovers! Also you cant kick the ball or bounce it off ya elbow etc... so you take away all that and what is left? A small guy that can shoot! Now I'm not saying he couldn't prosper in pro ball but without his tricks he would be at a disadvantage
It's always good to see the underdog on top!!
When i was in high school, i watch a lot of and 1 videos, the professor and the guy named "hot sauce" were those who inspired me to really work on my handles.
I'm glad he continues to play and got a living from his skills.
Omfg I forgot about hot sauce he was crazy
all and 1 player is gifted and hard to guard, even in tha nba
This just goes to show you how good professional level athletes are at their given sport. Professor is far closer to any pro than we will ever be to him.
See the Professor get SCHOOLED by a 40 year old hooper: ua-cam.com/video/zrmCa10MGlo/v-deo.html
Believe it or not Allen Iverson once said "i dont lift weights because that shit is to heavy"
Lol. Yup. Jamal Crawford doesn't either.
Well he should lift his pockets because they are pretty damn light...
I hope you're joking
who??? Iverson did did say that, lol... To damn funny
Anyone have links? This shit is hilarious lmao
Nice job. This is perfect motivation for all independent ballers and people who do it for the love and not the money. Much love.
Saying that this guy is not athletic is a bit odd. The dude is a wizard.
He wasn’t super athletic. He wasn’t d rose or Westbrook
Technical skill and athleticism are not the same thing.
Absolutely dead on!!!! but still fun to watch him do his shake and bake moves along with his circus shots. Nice 👍🏼 break down mate on the professor.
Remember hot sauce that dude was dope
laidbackTap Pepperidge Farms remembers
I member
Hot sauce was trash lol
Way better than professor
I think the professor is a lot more skilled than many players in the NBA.. he just doesn't have the natural build or frame to make the league.
Zebeldarebel he could barely beat the chinese teams idiot hell no he cant be in the nba is he good hell yes but if he can barely beat chinese teams than he cant be in the nba my guy
xAWOKINXBEASTx when China has been in the Olympic basketball championships against the US several times
Do you guys not see the constant traveling? More than half his moves follow street ball lol
Zebeldarebel really what about Ingram on the Lakers he is so skinny he is litearly a stick even professor got more meat in him
Then again look at curry there like pretty much the same height so i reckon He could of made NBA easy i guess he just lover street ball better
The Professor was teaching James Hardin on how to do a move.
If the professor were 6 inches taller and 50 lbs heavier he would have been a beast in the NBA with his shooting, passing footwork and ball handling skills. Do you see anyone quicker on the dribble? I don't. The only weakness is his lack of stature, and that's entirely not his fault.
Wasn't a basketball player 5'8"?
There are a few nba player who are his size he is just not good enought.
@@rozualakawlni2091 key word there is a few, out of thousands over the last 50 years. I'd say he's in damn good company bud!
@@AcousticOlli m.ua-cam.com/video/UL3zNJQC76M/v-deo.html
I don't think he'd have the same ball skills if he were taller, lower center of gravity is working in his favor for a lot of these moves.
You said "Every single player in the NBA player is a good basketball player." You clearly haven´t heard of Zaza Pachulia.

He is in the nba for a reason...
tell Isiah Thomas carrying isn't allowed in the NBA
1/2 savage He's retired doubt he'd care
1/2 savage he is retired dude, stop bother him
oman1943 then it's Isaiah
Caleb Caltrider not piston isiah celtics isiah
Joel Gutierrez there is no Isaiah on the Celtics...
Giving you a sub mate, I'm from NI and I rarely see basketball channels from Ireland/Northern Ireland, nice to see some People love basketball as much as I do
I think the NBA forgets they're there to entertain us. I've seen losing teams fill the stands because of amazing players.
@Greg A kid? Are you serious
Carrying the basketball isn’t really a knock on his game considering he was playing streetball (AND 1) ,where carrying is allowed
DaKidwitskills you completely missed his point he was trying to list reasons why he couldn't play in the nba where carrying the ball ISNT allowed.
Lol alot of point guards in the NBA gets away with carrying all the timeee! I dont even think the refs/official give a shit about it cuz its all business now. Isaiah Thomas is a good example of this, he does it so fast that you won’t even notice it unless you do a replay in slow motion. A few coaches called him out about it but he still gets away all the time.
Zzig the professor carrys on a whole new level. Still a great ball handler though. Hes just the king of carrying
Professor carries the ball like he's holding a pie, you can't do that in the NBA
A carry IS allowed.. Watch any point guard (other positions as well) and they ALL carry. Blatantly at that.
The professor most certainly would be able to adapt to the NBA in terms of what he can and cant get away with.
I dont think he would dominate in the NBA but he most definitely could hold his own.
He is a 55 overall pureplaymaker
Goggles nation with 99 ball control
Unkown Bih more like 65
Itz Blakey I don't think a 65 can do all those tricks without it slipping off there hands. I'd give him a 80 in ball control, 65 playmaker and IQ. I believe the Tank would succeed in the NBA if he played in his prime.
More like a 99 in tricks since streetballers like him are better than most if not all nba handlers in ball control. The difference is that nba players are elite in a lot more areas in skill than the proffesor
He's an 85 pure playmaker. You forgot that he has a shot and can play defense. He has 99 ball control
just unfair how a talented guy never made it there at the top but it’s all good, he’s just happy right now to help a lot of people and make people smile. making use of every drop of his sweat to inspire people. it’s all good

Super rational review. Props to you... and the professor
How to spot a 10 year old online: look for “the professor would make it in the NBA” or “Isaiah Thomas is short and he made it, so the Professor would too”.
PONYBOYonline they both carry
kobe robertson if he COULD play in the nba he WOULD have played in the nba. No excuses.
How to spot an 11 year old online: Look for the comment making fun of 10 year olds
PONYBOYonline I'm ten and smarter than that
Haha, yeah, I don't think people realize just how insanely athletic IT is. A couple guys I know played against him a few times back in highschool and nobody could keep up with him, he was by far the fastest player they'd ever seen. Not to mention how incredibly skilled he was.
The man does all the moves for 2k. I’m sure he has more talent than any of us think.
jamison709 does he?
His overdribbling is for entertainment only. He can past you even without those tricks because on how fast he can slash through the guards. People forgot this guy uses these moves to entertain the viewers.
If you watch some of his videos he explains that his goal was never to make it in the NBA but to make it in the Street Ball and grow his brand.
Good video. good explanation of who this guy is and what he is doing . thanks!
Incorrect, His skill level now, an nba coach has stated "he is good enough to play ball even in the nba, But his physical fitness level is probably lacking completely"
Can you provide a source for that? Because I can't find anywhere that shows an NBA coach said that.
Muggsy bouges was 5'3 and he was a crafty finisher like the professor and a decent ball handler but the professor trumps him in handles 10/10 most players in the league if he puts 30lbs he would have a. Pretty good defensive presence
If Mugsy didn't have huge NBA games on the line and wasn't playing against mostly the best in the world , he would've most certainly would've been able to do a lot of the same things the Professor could do , you moron . Clearly you know very little about Mugsy . Just because Mugsy didn't show a certain skill in an NBA game doesn't mean there's no way he has that skill , you dumb fuck . Clearly you've never seen Mugsy fool around or play 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 pickup ball before , as I have .
Professor still wins out though , but just barely because Mugsy had a faster , more powerful dribble .
Mike Donovan - Rebels4Truth y r u mad tho r u muggys? Is this muggsy bouges???
When I seen them in st.louis, it seemed like professor and hotsauce came out and did a standard routine of moves fired up a couple shots and that was a wrap. Headache seemed like an all around baller type.
There like the Harlem globetrotters really . an all they were was trick shot people that couldnt make the NBA. Very good at it though but non of those tricks are legal.
Doesn't mean either of them totally sucks a ball though either . Not being good enough for the NBA does NOT mean they must totally suck .
I vote for him to go on tv or nba
I think that he could have definitely been in an NBA team. Maybe not be a superstar but he got the talent to be part of a team. There are a few NBA basketball players who were shorter than him. How can they say that he is not athletic! he is 177cm and he can dunk and he is super fast. The muscles can be built with special exercise. I believe that he is a Legend even without playing in the NBA
See the Professor get SCHOOLED by a 40 year old hooper: ua-cam.com/video/zrmCa10MGlo/v-deo.html
He's very athletic...for a normal dude. He's nothing compared to NBA freaks. I've been watching him since season one of ESPNs mixtape tour that he won, I watch a lot of his UA-cam stuff, he in no way would've made the league.
Skip to my Lou was a beast in streetball and played D1 in college and when he played in the NBA he was at best a solid 6th man. The Professor he can play most definitely but not at an elite level like that.
skip was a solid PG in the league period. not just a 6th man, dude could start on half of the NBA teams. He was a huge part as to why Orlando made it to the finals. Then for reasons unknown, Stan decided to start Jameer (coming back from an injury) over Skip. Was a detriment to the team.
Matt Yellowhorse the professor is a guy who's skills are between college in the NBA
He's short. That's the only reason he couldn't have played in the NBA. He's probably one of the very best ball handlers to live. Much like Jason Williams. That's it.
Max Kern there's alot of short people in the NBA...... If you're short you can still be good
Isaiah Thomas is short
Nate Robison, Spud Webb, Isaiah Thomas
mr tooth Isaiah Thomas is short but with with a relatively big wingspan and he is ATHLETIC af.
Mugsey Bogues was 5"3, Jason Williams was also not that great of a ball handler. His stats aren't that great.
What a cool humble dude he is also-treats other people w/respect!
The Professor is the Lionel Messi of basketball
Pessi
Nah man. He’s way better than that. Basketball is different. It requires more skill.
If he plays nba, hes team would be my favorite team!!!!!!!! Even if is, 🍀😫
Thats wrong he didn't want to play nba
lolitsbible Hotobobo that’s not even what a bandwagon is, a bandwagon is when u switch up teams every time they win a championship
So many comments about how he carries the ball it's not legal the way he moves. You have to be blind to say they don't carry the ball in the NBA watch for real next time, and just see how many times the ball gets carried. Also watch how many times 3 steps are taken before some crazy move to the basket it's ridiculous.
3 steps is allowed
WalruZ0 no dude only 2
true but not as a rule it is a foul he does it as a rule and would be foul out or at least send a lot of adversaries to the free throws line
patrick lovato ABSOLUTELY correct, in reality you can find a foul or a db or a carry on EVERY SINGLE PLAY' DON'T CARRY MY ASS,
You get two and a half steps, but the refs in the NBA allow for a Gather step before they start counting the steps with out a dribble. So in essence you get three, and won't be called until you take the fourth. The gather step can include a spin.
I love the professor. He is just such an unlikely story. And so entertaining and shares and get so much love from people. God bless him God bless him!

Even though the Professor was never in the NBA, it's very obvious he's an exceptionally great basketball player. He definitely has talent. Not a lot of people can beat him in a game of 1 on 1. The Professor has won against many people that are a lot taller than him in games of 1 on 1. The Professor has won 1 on 1 games against many people who have played Division 1 basketball.
Retired 42 year old Brian Scalabrine absolutely smashed a bunch of d-1 players one on one. Players the professor would struggle with.

@@oldebookandoddshop1510 thats cap.
Professor plays against d-1, and all type of college players all the time.
@@oldebookandoddshop1510 do you even watch any of his videos?
Simple.. because NBA dont allow carrying the ball after you dribble or so called lifting.. but he has good handles..
You mean they aren't SUPPOSED TO allow it . They most certainly DO allow carrying the ball sometimes . It's refs allowing stupid shit like that that makes me not watch NBA much anymore . They call shit on one team and when the other does it , they let it slide because the league has favorites in almost every game and they tell the refs how to officiate the games .
After you dribble, you can carry. Dribble ends when you carry or touch ball with both hands. You just can't continue dribbling after carry. It is the same as double-dribble.
@Stevenhs8821
So if you grab the ball with one hand you can still dribble afterwards? Im pretty sure thats not the rule
I said carrying ends the dribble. The rule is that carrying (holding the ball) or touching the ball with both hands at the same time ends the dribble. What I was saying is that you don't need a special rule for "carry," it is already double-dribble.
You can start dribbling with either one hand or both. The dribble ends when the balls is held with either one or both hands or touched with both hands at the same time. Held means that your hand is underneath the ball, below the horizontal.
I was a intramural city league and play ground star in my youth I practiced 3 to 4 hours a day, and had handles and shots that dazzled everyone at the playground. I was in a city league that had a 5'9" guard who started for Duke on the one of the opposing teams. This is a major college star and he made me look like a kindergartner. It was a sobering experience. That said, I have never played against a pro level player, but I can imagine.

I remember watching the And1 Mixtape Tour in Toronto at ACC and got to meet the players. The Professor was mad cool and humble, but ima tell you watching it in real life then on DVD at the time was real sick
should have asked an NBA coach if he would take the professor. They'll know what kind of player they want and the tactics to use him in games.
And every single NBA coach would say no. Every single one. And every scout. And everyone associated with drafting, and running a team. The kid is good at what he does, but he is a million miles from the NBA. The NBA would have come calling, as would D1 teams when he was young. It's not even close.
There's only three players in the world who got mad handles Kylie,AI and the professor dude got a mean crossover game he'll break ya ankles every time
Kylie Minogue plays basket? Nice.
U sound stupid
I guess you never saw Curly Neal from the Harlem Globetrotters dribble also nobody could take the ball from Isaiah Thomas that's why they never pressured him and I'm talking about Isaiah Thomas from the bad boy era
Jason Williams handled the ball better than any if these guys you brought up. Period
@@stevenpratt5719 J Will was more of a fleshy passer than dribbler tho

Thanks for clearing it up, I did thought he was carrying the ball. He is good, I wish the best for him
Had no idea this was DBG
like most people i find him more entertaining to watch as his rapid moves, ball skills and technical skill are so much more entertaining to watch than tall guys just putting it in the basket. While the professor might not make the cut, I would love to see more technical players like this in the nba. I would like to see the professor play a professional player.

He's entertaining, that's for sure!
This guy is amazing and it’s a shame nobody in the NBA would give him a chance.
Two words for you: Muggsy Bogues
Bogues could dunk though. He was athletic enough to overcome his lack of height
Muggsy wasn't even that great ---- but he was a lot stronger and more athletic than a skinny 5'0" white boy
Bill Belzek and he’s a lot better than The Professor
Those are not words C:
MMAbadboy yeah, he never dunked during game but he could dunk, "I could dunk if I can grip the ball" -"Mugsy" ..he's just 5'3 guy but he can jump 44 inch vertical.
“He’s a great ball handler and a good shooter. One of the best ball handlers in the world. But still not good enough to make the NBA”
What else do you need??!!
BJ G who in the NBA got better handles than him
Height and weight to play defense against guys who could put up 100 on him. He could play, but they'd have to protect him.
Height and athleticism unfortunately:/ professor my niigga doe
He belongs in a circus not the NBA.
@@chasemula6309 any NBA point guard has better handles than him
This brother is amazing!! But the issue ultimately comes down to him being able to defend. Remember, offense sells tickets. But defense wins championships!! #olschool #badboys #detroitpistons

From what I've seen him do he's truly specialized in street-ball. He has this ability in one on one situations a la pick up games to get in his opponent's head and fake them out with elaborate like 4, 5, 6+ step fakes. I don't see that kind of thing translating as well to the official game, necessarily. Of course I bet he can play that style as well, we just don't see as much of it because again he specializes in street ball.
Lol!! Are you kidding? He barely played college ball at chimetuka which is a community college in Oregon.
Professor gets a ticket to my hood
I think he inspires our youth he is an awesome ball handler second to none. Shoots as good as any he could be anything he wants in basketball I love his videos and support his decisions. Thank god for the professor 😘
DBG revive this channel by reacting to the NBA games please 👍
Dude carries the ball everytime I watch him.
Who remembers hot sauce ? 🤔
No one honestly
Yeah reefer Alston play for the Houston Rockets
hot sauce was a shit half man half amazing professor hot sauce I never kg played on Streetball And1 so did AI
Alston was skip
wayne ochadleus Rafer Alston was “Skip 2 My Lou,” not “Hot Sauce”
Who put out the video on the downfall of blacktop/ and1? Been searching for like 3 months now lol
This guy is blessed with breaking the matrix of basketball
His weight was more his problem than his size there have been small guys in the pros Nate Robinson Spud Webb etc but they all had more muscle his light weight frame is his Achilles heel but its also y he's so quick
Allen Iverson prolly weighed about as much as this guy and was maybe only an inch taller. Sorry.
@@AlexFromnic Allen Iverson was also a much more gifted athlete.
@@AlexFromnic there was and will be only one Iverson
Could Spud play in the NBA today? Maybe. It would be harder tho. No more under 6 footers today.
@@JKinLVN J.J. Barea is 5'-10" and has been in the NBA for 14 years.
One of my favorite bball players ever regardless of the level
how is the first song on the background ?
what is the background music called
The Professor and Ronaldinho.. Skill Gods
Street ballers can't play in the NBA because they carry the ball.
MrJasonlyrics yeh because no one carries in the nba...yeh right
do you mean that professor always carry ? sure, you win
Aaron Gilbert don't you know who is Curry and James Harden is
Nobody Carries the ball In the NBA 😂😂😂 Funny Funny Comment
Dumbest comment ever
he usually does not carry, and he can easily modify his ball handling to never carry. That being said, it's well known that NBA players get away with carrying the ball a lot
This guy is the Eminem of basketball.
He recently answer to the big NBA question!
If he was at least 6 feet he would easily make the NBA starting line up.
No he wouldn't
@Greg A lol you really don't like this guy? what's up sad about ur bum knee and having to "retire" from basketball?
@Greg A he would beat your ass in the court tho thats for sure.
THE PROFESSOR is my guy...he is a pro in my mind doing what he is doing...
Could he play pro, who knows, who cares...
He makes me smile!!!!!
well he tried - played CBA. His stats were 4.5 points, 2 TO on 21 minutes
He's dope. Love that guy. He talks about why he didn't play NBA. He joined And1 and took a contract thus skipped the requirements to get into NBA. He is definitely doing the best thing for him, and he likes it better.
The Professor is no push over...The Brother Can Play Basketball...Showing Respect From Perth Australia, Noongar Boodja
good ol' days..proffesor, skip to my lou, hot sauce, escalade (rip)
Pure opinions no facts to back up
xAWOKINXBEASTx How is that? Well, if you respond that way based off of someone telling the truth, you're probably a troll.
Hmm that was clearly all facts
Calling someone "retarded" is an opinion, not a fact. Whether or not one thinks he is good at ball-handling is an opinion because people have different opinions about what constitutes good ball-handling. The same can be said for whether he is athletic enough. That said, breaking the rules is a fact. So is saying he is shorter than the average NBA player. So it's a mixture of opinions and facts. You're both wrong in saying it's 100% opinions or 100% facts when it's somewhere between the extremes.
Fact he didn’t make it to the NBA!
Fact in order to pull off a lot of the “tricks” he performs requires constant traveling!
He’s still a good ball player but the Harlem Globetrotters should have picked him up before the nba ever will
Marco C I agree
Professor now has 4 million subs!
0:20 I thought they were going to fight
