how about Nature rappin with Nore? "I went to games as a Knicks fan, they had Strickland, they traded him. Ever since then, son, I hated them, shit's turning sour in the N-Y"
that's not true, most kids in the tri-state do the in outs, reverses, tear drops and high off glass. People were doing those years before Kyrie and Kyrie definitely added to it. Krauser from Villanova was excellent, Kenny from GT, BG on UConn
He was my favorite player growing up playing for my favorite team. The Knicks decided there was a log jam at the PG position with him and Mark so they decided to trade them BOTH away smh. Imagine 2 young NYC born PGs and you give them BOTH away and get back aging vets. I h8 being a Knicks fan
One of my fav point guards handles finishes at the basket drops dimes.. Been a fan since he hooped for The Depaul blue demons. you can see his game in Kyrie D. Rose & John Wall.
Great vid! Always loved this guy's game growing up. Must've been frustrating AF for 7-footers thinking they're gonna swat his shot into the stands and then he hangs and switches hands on 'em. Most creative in-air non-dunker in NBA history.
You're crazy. Every generation takes from the previous and evolves the game. There hasn't been a finisher like Kyrie ever, Rose was also fantastic but it was more athleticism than technique
I’m 36 now man I remember when rod played with the bullets look his my fav pg no question my game was exactly the same I played for tc Williams in va school my coach told me I played like AI ask me was that my favorite pg I told him I love rod he sign my jersey at the capital arena I was 7
When you can make a player like juan howard look like a scorer just by having him reaping of your skills the your a real one in my book .rod strickland legend in my eyes him kenny anderson tim hardaway ,abdul rauff ,penny and joe dummars .
I'm sorry I laugh when i see this talk. That's how almost all kids in NY/NJ play, they don't need to be in the NBA. Like you get a layup package by the time you are 16 back there.
The NBA All-Star game has always and will be more about popularity than production in my opinion otherwise player such as Rod Strickland, Mike Bibby, Monta Ellis to name a few would have made the All-Star team a couple of times in their playing days.
Yep but rod suppose to have a view all star game but bibby making it in west is very very tough and monta was just on a bad team, also they were voting the most fun to watch players
@@DLXN-lp9cj When Monta Ellis was with the Warriors, he was on a losing teams for the most part. The Mavs and Pacers were good teams and the Bucks when he played a full season with them in 2012-13 (Making the playoffs).
@@DLXN-lp9cj Because the teams were very good unlike in his early years in Golden State Monta Ellis didn't have to do as much but if he needed to then he certainly could have done it.
the 89 bulls were led by legend michael jordan but please tell me should the conference finals have been the pistons vs the cavs or knicks and please tell me with the 89 season mvp votes was the #6 candidate star patrick ewing
@@Allbetsaside I speaking about offense, You can see a lot of Rod Strickland in Rondos OFFENSIVE game, I wasn't speaking about defense, no one plays Defense anymore 🤷🏿♂️
Jerry Alexander I agree. No one plays defense anymore. They need to bring hand checking back because guys nowadays are offensively TOO GOOD. You really see the good defenders come playoff time. They let them get away with physicality.
Well he should have been an all star but the west was stacked with legit and high profiled PGs in the 90s like Stockton, Payton, Kevin Johnson and Jason Kidd.
Thank god for actual NBA fans bc this dude did NOT get the respect he deserves.
Facts
he even crossed up MJ at 0:41
@@jmakabd103 and that wasn’t the only time he did that to MJ.
from young casuals, we know
Can we all agree that the late 90’s and early 2000’s had the most underrated players ever
Rod Strickland, Mike Bibby, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, Rashard Lewis, Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Antwan Jamison ...........
A lot of the were ahead of their time
"Guarantee i make em jump like rod Strickland." If Wu rap about you, you nice.
RAekwon 💪🏽
Thats a nice verse
how about Nature rappin with Nore?
"I went to games as a Knicks fan, they had Strickland, they traded him. Ever since then, son, I hated them, shit's turning sour in the N-Y"
Com Sense he flipped his NAME though, - "Catch me ballin' like Rod in this STRICK LAND!"
How about brand Nubian! Lol "Why'd the Knicks trade rod strick?! That man is nice!"
Rod Strickland underrated PG .
Bronx Legend I watched rod play throughout my childhood. Strick was a complete Point guard
RIP Doe B
you know about the Mapp brothers?
Rod, Nick VExel and Terrell Brandon so underrated!
Facts!
Daaaamn you know it
Yup and Kenny Anderson
And Tacko Fall!
Facts! And only three guards ik get away with jump passing other than white chocolate and Tim hardaway
Gary Payton..got me to this
Kyrie's actual Godfather....siad he based his game off Strickland
Joshua Dolo I can see the offensive resemblance!
You can tell..

The fact they were both NY native and walking buckets makes it so much more tragic of a Knicks story
Rod Strickland is a OG
Top 10 passer of all time.

With those moves as a facilitator ... you allow space time and safety to all mash up in a sequence !!!! Bless up to a real NY Baller ‼️

You can literally see that Kyrie learned and study from this man damn they run the same lol
The layup package is damn near identical..damn!

Rod and Chris Jackson a.k.a. M.A.R. way underated back then
Damn, this brother was good!!!
DePaul Bluedemons best player.
Rod Strickland is King !!!!
A very good player ✅👍. Thank's for the vidéo.

Crazy how kids be like "plummers" and here's Rod Strickland who never made an All Star team that us real hoop heads consider a LEGEND
Which is crazy because he made all NBA without being an all star.
Facts facts facts 💯
I don't know if anyone else has been as good at getting hard english off the backboard, some serious spin applied on some layups.
Kyrie
Dan Lennon kyrie
his godson
Kyrie
This nigga said that like it’s still 2000 😂
Kyrie and d rose 💯
Derrick Rose was watching too!
Perfect music for it.
Great finisher!!
Yup this is where kyrie got his finishes, it quite identical.
U can never defeat the gods impossible!! 4 u to defeat the gods!! Rod Strickland
Kyrie Irving and John Wall got this basketball genes from this dude.
Gary Payton, thanks.
Man people slept on rod Strickland
@3:36
The beat tho... Bananas.
Hes got crazy body control
Looks seriously skilled player fun to watch.
BX in the house 💪🏾
Who all here after the Gary Payton interview ?
That man cold!!!
He used to kill it on the blazers

Rondo had alot of Rod Strickland in his game, I think Strickland was better than Rondo though
Yeah nahhh
@@Allbetsaside yeah
Jerry Alexander offensively? Maybe. But rondo more all-around. Does it on both ends
@@Allbetsaside I speaking about offense, You can see a lot of Rod Strickland in Rondos OFFENSIVE game, I wasn't speaking about defense, no one plays Defense anymore 🤷🏿♂️

Rod gotta be proud of kyrie
My fav commentator!
Nyc home of the point guards.
My name is Frank. One problem. No highlights with the Knicks. He played his first year and a half in New York.
Facts
A great player, just as Sedale "the thief"Threatt was!
Best ever player not to be an All Star xD
Kyrie at 50% speed!! Nastyyyy
2k needs his layup package
Kyrie is this guy times 5
Hot Rod Strickland needs that HC job at DePaul
Jobs vacant as of today

Gaureented to make em jump like Ron Strickland! ☆Raekwon- Triumph☆
Da Point GOD!!!!!!
Never made a Allstars team....... That's crazy...
The glove brung me here
Just off that first reverse layup I can tell how Kyrie took from Rod Strickland's game
This guy is better than Kyrie Irving. Only the difference is Kyrie has a jumpshot. But I’d still pick Rod over Kyrie anytime.
If he played in today's league he would average 25 based off how they call fouls now especially with no hand check.
Perfect instrumental bro, one thing I hate about highlight vids 90% trash music
including this one
@@greenoffspring you kidding me? This is classic westcoast legend Kurupt - We can freak it.
I'm watching this now cause a girl in my school is his daughter sooo yea
That's Kyrie Irving's Godfather
Kyrie goddad 🔥
Kyrie on another level!!!!!!stop!!!!!
the OG Kyrie
Why he got traded so much?
At 1:07 that was sick
Yep
The Spurs should've kept him
Never All-Star ?...
Christensen CP Just shows you how much talent was in the league
Domo Jones *is
Well he should have been an all star but the west was stacked with legit and high profiled PGs in the 90s like Stockton, Payton, Kevin Johnson and Jason Kidd.
West coast beat he is from NY!!!
Knicks made a lotta moves to get to title level......
Getting Rod Strickland and Johnny Newman moved were the worst
Watching in Portland, I was mystified and thrilled how he would disappear in a forest of big men and a moment later the ball would pop up and in
What beat is that again?
Kurupt - We Can Freak It *
What song is this?
Amazing video
kyrie moves like him
Kyrie is Strickland's godson
he was Iverson even before Iverson 😜😜
Damm what's the instrumental on this
CollectionAgent we can freak it - Kurupt
Kyrie Irving said he learned a lot from his godfather. And his godfather happens to be Rod Strickland.
It ws n uphill battle
No all star bids? I mean, I guess fans might not realize but coaches? That’s just embarrassing for the league.
It was then and it still is now ...
The original kyrie
He's kyries godfather
Roc Marciano and Griselda brought me here
Whose here from Knuckeheads podcast?
og
Feeling that kurupt we can freak it
Mark Jackson was a great passenger and worthy HOFer but he could not finish the bucket like Rod.
Kyrie like
Kyrie’s his godson
Where Kyrie got his skills from.
