The first sub 6 footer to make a real Mark in professional basketball. He opened the doors for many others. Like Tiny, Isiah, Stockton, A I to name a few. And yes I know the others are listed at 6 ft to 6'1. But my point is he opened the door for the little man.

Better than Unseld and Sikma. At least if he had played in the NBA, people would have seen that.

Another great player who has been somewhat forgotten is Connie Hawkins.

You got me. My first thought was the best center on the pacers must be Rik Smits. I forgot about Daniels.

His game was like butter/ velvet

Traded for Dominique Wilkins

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, Isaiah 44:6 6 God, King of Israel, your Redeemer, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, says: "I'm first, I'm last, and everything in between. I'm the only God there is. Exodus 3:14 And God (Jesus) said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'; and He said, 'This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you. John 5:46-47 Jesus(God) said For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”. John 8:24 Jesus(God) said Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” John 14: 6-7 Jesus (God) said to him, “I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”. John 8:58 Jesus(God) answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!” Matthew 24:35 Jesus (God) says “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 satan, who currently rules this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is God. Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts,( the idolaters ) and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

It's more like when I see Demar DeRozen; I see Walter 'The Greyhound' Davis.

The greyhound

He was his generations Clyde Drexler. Unbelievably fast with or without the ball.

This a great video would love to see more bro

I appreciate ur comedic delivery!😂

Walter, Marques Johnson, and Bernard King out of the 1977 draft. Nothing else to say.

You Kids And The Obsession With The 3 Point Shot 🤦🏿‍♂️! That's What Has Literally Ruined The Game. Watching Teams Shoot 20-30 3's Per Game Is Horrible To Watch...PERIOD!

Uncle Was Way Better Than His Nephew (Hubert) 👌🏿! Walter Had A Sweet Stroke On That Jumper.

Really great video about a player I knew very little about. Loving the channel.

You are so good at what you’re doing!, I hope more people discover ur channel because you deserve more subscribers!!

Allen Iverson is 5'11

4:01 steal are no stat that need calculation! they simply get tracked! <3

Pause on this title💀

Calvin Murphy is one of my father's favorite point guards of all-time. His sideline jumper was water. Great video.

Not even the Colonels goat - that would be Issel. He was an underrated NBA center though. (only one ABA title)

He took fewer shots when Issel and Gilmore joined the team (making him the 3rd or 4th option), hence fewer points.

He still was a good man.He cleaned his life up and started driving cabs for a living.

Great video ARTIS GILMORE is my favorite player EVER saw him play many times with the Kentucky Colonels very underrated player

Thank you for this video! , it’s always really nice and interesting hearing ur opinion on basketball and ur videos always make me laugh, u are hilarious 🤣

I highly respect sports and athlete historians

This is my FIRST video with over 50 Likes. Thanks Famly.

King Louie

It's kind of sad that the old NBA establishment did EVERYTHING to shun the ABA. Yeah, I know, the ABA made salaries go up, but the ABA was full of superstars most of the country didnt see. I only remember Louie Dampier when he played for the Spurs after the merger. He retired the year before the NBA added the 3pt line(the 3pointer started in the NBA in the 79-80 season.)

All hail King Louie. Fellow UK alum. I was in medical school at UK during Pitino’s first 3 years. The Laettner shot in the 1992 Elite Eight game was my fourth year of medical school.

What if Artis had been a Chicago Bull from the start? Bulls lost to Kareem and Wilt every playoffs.

Artis actually got a mid range you gotta watch them aba highlights to see it the leauge had more freedom and space since they had a 3pt line

Liked, subscribed, and commenting. Great movie completely new info for me!

I grew up watching Artis Gilmore in the ABA with the Colonels. He was the best center in the game -- either league -- during 1974 through '76. Better than Kareem. Better than Dave Cowens. Better than Willis Reed. In the ABA title game against the Indiana Pacers and George McGinnis, Artis scored 28 points and grabbed 31 rebounds. That's not a typo -- THIRTY.... ONE...REBOUNDS. An unstoppable force. Best post season performance by a center ever. Decades later, I became a feature writer for a newspaper and interviewed Artis in the 1990s as he visited with children at the elementary school where his own children had attended. Absolutely nicest, most enjoyable person I ever interviewed. The children loved Artis (even though they were 5 and 6 and had never heard of him) and he loved them back. Artis was a great family man and had a gentle temperament that no one who watched him own the boards would have figured. :)

Imagine if Joel Embid played like this he'd be way more efficient.

Nice

Nice video man! No one can stop the A-Train

This is some deep knowledge. Another small player people might not know is Calvin Murphy.

This is a re-upload from an earlier video. Working on more videos as you read this

Still, my guy will always be the ultimate team player..and 3 straight MVP..Larry Joe Bird..who never practiced 3 point shots cuz they didn’t come into the NBA until Bird got there..

Thank you for shedding light on this largely forgotten player. I grew up watching Louie making the 3-pointer exciting. When we’d see that red, white and blue basketball spin from 25 feet out, it was like watching a pinwheel on the 4th of July. Loved Louie!

Please do a video for Walter Davis

Love this video. ABA feels so forgotten when we talk about the greats, Dr J and others always feel left off. Appreciate you shining a light on a sharpshooter

You gonna be big one day trust

Nice vid, best of luck in the future.

that off the spin middy pull-up was cold. earl monroe had that in his bag too. n dave bing.ayye but if u rly wanna talk abt players way ahead of their time, heres a deep pull: mo stokes. one of the earliest positionless players in the NBA.
