I would like to ask you guys if you enjoy this video to Please hit the like button above as it really helps the channel. Thanks in advance. What Stunted Juan Dixon's Growth?
Loved the video! Feel the same way on how he inspired me. I practiced his lefty step back countless times. Don’t even feel he got Stunted really. Just grateful to have witnessed his college greatness and that he had a pretty long NBA career.
Man that's my hometown team. I remember when they were stacked with Juan Dixon, Steve Francis, Terrence Morris, Lonny Baxter, Steve Blake, and Chris Wilcox over a span of several years.
Juan was a great player. In the NBA, if you are undersized at guard, you have to be able to be an equally adept combo guard ( Joe Dumars) or an over the top scorer (Iverson), or a masterful floor general who controls the pace of the game( Chris Paul, Isaiah Thomas, Steve Nash). I'm glad he is still involved in the game. He was one of my faves coming up
What cemented Juan's legacy? That 2001-02 Maryland team played in the toughest bracket to win the championship. They beat Wisconsin- 2nd Round, Kentucky-Sweet 16, UConn- Elite 8, Kansas- Final 4, and Indiana- National Championship game. He was the Tournament's MVP.
Brooo this stunted notification hit different lol. I'm from md and was in middle school when they won that title. The great Jay Williams said in his book his toughest opposition at Duke was Juan Dixon and Steve Blake. His toughest rival at that time was MD not carolina
Great video, Juan was always in that gray area. Much respect to his game. Him and Blake was a good duo. Shout out to Steve Blake for swinging on John gil. remember Juan on the cover of the PS2 final four game....daum memories.
Bro I’m so happy u did this feature. I’m from the area & lived here all my life, so I loved Juan, Steve Blake, Lonnie Baxter & Chris Wilcox at UMD under Gary Williams.
Seeing Juan play and win while I was in college in Baltimore was a true inspiration. I also had a parent with HIV/AIDS growing up. I wish him the best. 💯
Respect Dixon cuz whn u lose both ur parents it's hard to move forward trust me I did it n still doing it much respect thank u for telling his story he was a beast at Maryland. Much respect Mr.Dixon
Great review on Juan's game. He is a legend here in the DMV and Baltimore area. You have to do Jonathan Hargett he was the most gifted point guard I had ever seen. He was a more athletic version of Rod Strickland.
Juan Dixon was awesome. I'm from Baltimore myself. We went nuts watching him and Steve Blake at Maryland. They were heroes here. I think a lack of size and athleticism doomed him in the league though. Great vid JC!
I remember this guy in college I started watching college basketball around his time. He was highly talked about and alot of hype around him during college and entering the NBA draft. Since you did Juan Dixon it's only right you do Shabazz Napier JC excellent video keep that content coming 💯
College bball was so much better back then, watching the terps was like an event for me. Right around his senior year id about when i started watching college bball: i was like 13 years old and i got obsessed. Im from maryland and luckily we had a really good team. It paid off watching them. They won their one and only title 2 years later, out of what like 221 division one teams, they went 32-4, with a 15-1 acc record!! And at good old cole field house, they went 12-0. It might have been their last year there
You know why I watch your channel you bring back so many guys I grew up watching that's why no one in Barbados knows basketball better than I do big respect bro💥💫💯
Juan is one of the best players hands down to come through the University of Maryland. The things he achieved there were noteworthy but he was never going to have that type of success in the league. He was undersized. He had a shooting guards game in a point guard body and he never developed the skills necessary to play on the ball effectively. He played hard and was always a professional but he was never going to be more than a 7th or 8th man. Shoutout to him though for having a long nba career and a decorated college career. Hopefully his coaching career can bear similar fruit. Great video as always.
The video an Juan was 🔥🔥. I watch all the vids your very slept on. Love the early 2000’s player u do u always doing someone we haven’t heard of in yrs. Keep grinding
I could sense that you respect this guy so much that you were reluctant to make this video. However like always you were on point on what stunted his growth. Juan was what he was, a legend college Bball player and in the state of MD. To me he is successful, regardless of his NBA success. Lastly, I wish you all the success and on this channel, I could tell you’ve found your passion.
It's cool to watch these and reminisce. They won the tournament when I was a junior in high school, and that was a GREAT team, him lonny Baxter, Chris Wilcox and Steve Blake.
I love what you do bro, but not everyone is stunted growth....This dude is another overachiever that was good as he could be. He maxed out his abilities. An undersized 2 guard - on the COLLEGE LEVEL. He had to learn a new position in the league. He was as good as he could be. He was so small he had to redshirt freshman year at Maryland because he was only 150lbs coming out of high school
Nahh nothing in college screamed AI about him Bruh and too small to be Rip but I feel you …he was good but when you think about it he was just a pure shooter when he was in college that’s all he was asked to do
I think Juan hit growth spurt. 6'2, non athlete, limited handle, not super quick, slight frame.. believe 7 year vet. He picked the perfect college for his game. UMD ran heavy flex offense so he didn't really have to create. Appreciate this one. Do one of his teammates Terrance Morris.. I lived in Bmore and PG county. It's almost like 2 different states. Baltimore got some guards. Very under-rated, gritty, PG got hoopers as well, but I got a lot of love for those Bmore guards..
Yeah I’ve been waiting on this one...he was amazing @ Maryland... I felt like he was similar to Shawn Respert or Randolph Childress; natural off guards forced to play the point...nonetheless I rooted for him and hoped he’d do well in the L, despite being a UNC fan.. glad you took your time with this one... great info
nice one. juan was nice man, i remember his jumper was silky smooth. his legendary college career to subpar nba career reminds me a lot of randolph childress
Great video man! I’m from The DMV and moved to GA when I was young, but best believe I was all about some UMD and Juan Dixon! And when they beat duke and won the championship against IU, I was lit 🔥! Great video on both sides of it! I can tell u respect what he meant as well! Legend regardless of his Nba career!
Some suggestions: qyntel woods, Casey Jacobsen, jimmer fredette, stromile swift, jiri Welsch, Reece gaines, ndudi ebi, Rafael araujo, kirk snyder, ike diogu, sean may,
As a Maryland guy myself, I've had the honor to talk to him and even practice with him in 2010. I can see all of these things being the case for his NBA down fall, but also wrong era. Since now they have shorter 2s and bigger point guards.
Great story my G...he was one of my favorite too. I had a scholarship to university of md college park...but unfortunately like many of us all we mess up somewhere and end u going to a 2nd chance u (independence community college). After that tragedy struck and I was hit head on ending 😔 😢 my career. Anyway salute to Juan Dixon a true Maryland native 💯
I remember watching most all the College Bball games with my Family and how talented that MD team was as a whole. Steve Blake and Juan Dixon are True MD/DC Legends. I went to the Gary Williams Basketball Camp for 4 years and I met Gary Williams, Steve Blake...and had a photo with him...alot of the team came as special guests. Incredible Nostalgia here Juan Dixon was soo Legit back then...Ayyy Good Times!! 🤔🙄😩
Damn i miss these days more than anything! Almost makes me want to cry. I was 14 when they won the title. Growing up in MD, i was and still am a huge sports fan. I love basketball, footbal and baseball. I bleed ravens, orioles and terps. Around that time maryland was very fortunate. Ravens won the SB in 2000 and we had ray lewis, fhe best defender ever. My favorite baseball player and the best orioles of all time cal ripken was nearing the end of his career and breaking more records. I remember the first time i saw juan dixon. I think it was his sophmore year, and i was at my uncles party in his basement and he had the game on. I remember he was so skinny and he had and has the most beaultiful jumper ever, even when he misssd. He made a bunch of 3s thats gams, than i sfArted keeping track of him and watching every game and he was just so amazing with that jumper. I got depressed when he was in rhe nba because he didnt play as much, but there were some games, he played like his old self. Damn i miss the md terps bball teams from like 98-2006. Md could have won back to back titles. They were beating duke by 22 at one point in the final four and i def think they would have beat whoever duke played in the 2001 title. It was either uconn or arizona i think. Not many people remember this, but when the hoosiers played duke jn the sweet 16 or elite 8, i forget which one, duke had a chance to tie than win at the endZ jay will took 2 shots at the line and made the first one and then the second one, which would have tied the game went in and out and i think boozer rebounded and also just missed. Indiana ended up with a very lucky 74-73 win. Damn if duke wins that game,theres a chance md maybe loses to duke in the title. The only thing is juan was do possessed to wjn that i honestly think he and the terps would gave beaten an nba team m, if they stood in their way. Juan is the greatest player of a tiiimmmmeee!!!!! 20 years later and hes stjll the all time points leader and 3 point leader, also second all time in acc history in steals. Hes involved in the most wins and games played all time as a terps since juans departure, they havent even made the elite 8 one time.
I think Juan Dixon had an opportunity to excel at the SG position if he worked extremely hard. But sometimes some players simply don't have the talent. That's why I'm amazed and revere Allen Iverson as a fan. That legend at barely 6' tall transitioned from PG to SG and was a scoring threat anywhere on the floor during his absolute NBA prime years.
I love your work .... By far the best channel on you tube in my opinion... always done with respect and class.... That being said .... Juan grew up and is from West Baltimore.... although close in proximity the two Being DC and Baltimore could not be further apart especially in terms of Sports..... Baltimoreans don’t even claim the term DMV...
You know what's funny with basketball legacy with guys like this is even if you didn't make it in the NBA, if you were a legend in college, bball fans remember you. I hold a lot of these guys in high regard just from having watched them ascend or shine in college.
Played against him plenty at the Run N Shoot in DC. Great motor and nice guy. He was amazing during the tournament. Talk about efficient. Just was in bad with the Wizards.
Wow I can’t believe you did my favorite player In College coming up this should be a treat salute to you JC and Juan Dixon one of the best that ever did it at MD..... Take a Look a Calvin Bowman From West Virginia Too that’s good Story right there.....
Best MD player? Or best player to win a championship? Lol You did a vid on Chris Thomas (Fighting Irish)...I was very close to his family. You did him real justice. Known him since he was 13. He was unreal cold bro.
I use to be the biggest fan of this dude. Especially when that commercial use to come on about his parents dying. I think it was from AIDS and he was spreading awareness on the commercial I believe. Brave to do that while in college/rookie
Great Video. JUAN DIXON was a GREAT Player. 1 of My Favorite Players. MARYLAND VS DUKE BATTLES WERE GREAT. TOBACCO ROAD BASKETBALL #1. COURTNEY ALEXANDER STUNNED GROWTH WOULD BE A GOOD ONE
That was a guy I was certain was going to be awesome for years. Could see Wilcox not working out in the NBA. But this dude was really something. I have a tape of that game somewhere. I worked third shift in those years. So I recorded a lot of championships, stayed away from the radio, coworkers who were fans, and watched the next morning. The 2001 WS, SB XXXVI, 2001 NBA Finals. All on tape somewhere.
I was big fan of him in college. I really thought he was gonna have a crazy good NBA career. That man was lights out. He had a similar game as Allan Houston
As a Baltimore native, Dixon was one of my favorite players when I first started to closely follow basketball as a kid. He was also one of the first players whose skills in college I thought wouldn't translate well to the NBA. Maybe he would've been better in today's smaller ball era with more emphasis on 3 point shooting. A poor man's Steph Curry perhaps.
Damn, I loved Dix. I used to gamble back in the day, and he won me a ton of money predicting his championship before the season. I actually called 4 out of 5 seasons straight (Duke, Maryland, missed on Syracuse cuz I bet on UCONN, then UCONN and finally actually called both championship teams the next year in NC and Illinois). He and Steve Blake were an awesome tandem and Lonnie Baxter was even good in college. But I feel like his size was the problem, a combo guard/lead guard prior to teams embracing that style of play from a small shooting guard.
he had game fr, but I think playing behind such a good cast of guards hurt his progression. if he would’ve been drafted in a position where he could start, i have no doubt in my mind he was going to be a star.
Yes. My hero, motivation for any field. His body was just too small and wirey to last in the NBA. Blake lived to dish, Juan to shoot. I got to see Juan play in high school once and several times as a Terp. Iverson-level quickness (edit) plus defense.
He came during the right time. When all the best players were jumping straight to the draft. It gave off the bench players starting positions. They was tough & played hard tho
Juan played on heart he was good but he got as much out of his talent as he could. So his growth wasn’t stunted he was just an undersized shooting guard and by NBA standards a average athlete. I salute him for overcoming the odds and even making it to the league and having a decent NBA career.
Looking at that Maryland roster, you could also do a Stunted Growth on Terrence Morris. I remember back in the say he was gonna be the next big name in the NBA, but it never happend
I would like to ask you guys if you enjoy this video to Please hit the like button above as it really helps the channel. Thanks in advance. What Stunted Juan Dixon's Growth?
remember jamal mashburn dude was a dog 🐕 for the Hornets before he got hurt
We have been asking for awhile now, be he jus won't acknowledge it.. we all wanna see as well!!! Ur not alone
yeah hes definitely a sleeper was a very potent player when 100% healthy
Loved the video! Feel the same way on how he inspired me. I practiced his lefty step back countless times. Don’t even feel he got Stunted really. Just grateful to have witnessed his college greatness and that he had a pretty long NBA career.
We want your story! What lead you to where you are?
Man that's my hometown team. I remember when they were stacked with Juan Dixon, Steve Francis, Terrence Morris, Lonny Baxter, Steve Blake, and Chris Wilcox over a span of several years.
Don't forget Byron Mouton, Drew Nicholas, and Laron Profit.

I'm glad he is still involved in the game.
He was one of my faves coming up
Cj McCollum is in that category also
dujaun wagner is a good example. its really guys who should be a 1 and cant distribute consistently.
@@ramoon9241 Dujuan was a scoring machine. He was like AI just bigger. He was giving the league buckets before his injury
I remember this guy! When college was freaking awesome!
What cemented Juan's legacy? That 2001-02 Maryland team played in the toughest bracket to win the championship. They beat Wisconsin- 2nd Round, Kentucky-Sweet 16, UConn- Elite 8, Kansas- Final 4, and Indiana- National Championship game. He was the Tournament's MVP.
JC...Do an "Stunted growth" episode on yourself....We wanna see your story bro!!
Lesssss get it
Lol
Good idea 💡
Been waiting on that!🔥
😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite college players ever.

JC, time to get that stunted growth on Allen Ray from Villanova.
I use to use him in nba live. He was low key a beast in that game
One of my favorite college players of all time...
Bro I’m so happy u did this feature. I’m from the area & lived here all my life, so I loved Juan, Steve Blake, Lonnie Baxter & Chris Wilcox at UMD under Gary Williams.
That championship got all those dudes in the NBA, with varied degrees of "success" of course.
@@Stanlayy-em4fk no doubt
That team was really good. That front court was college basketball
Excellence
"Respect And Reverence". Secondly, Maryland Is The State...College Park Is The City In Which The School Resides 👌🏿.
55cleon 🙌🏾
Yeah Juan is from Baltimore and Wizards are in DC which is like 40 miles apart but I am fan of your channel
Respect and Paul Revere I have for this guy
@@Etnad85
The Wizards are the local team for B-More since they don’t have a pro bball team.
The best terp I ever seen he and Steve blake
Seeing Juan play and win while I was in college in Baltimore was a true inspiration. I also had a parent with HIV/AIDS growing up. I wish him the best. 💯
Respect Dixon cuz whn u lose both ur parents it's hard to move forward trust me I did it n still doing it much respect thank u for telling his story he was a beast at Maryland. Much respect Mr.Dixon
He was my neighbor during his days playing at Maryland. It was fun to watch in Maryland
Great review on Juan's game. He is a legend here in the DMV and Baltimore area. You have to do Jonathan Hargett he was the most gifted point guard I had ever seen. He was a more athletic version of Rod Strickland.

Man I really thought Juan was going to be the next Rip Hamilton or AI 🥴🥴 he was a DAWG in college
A dog!!! Him and j Williams had epic battles
Imo Rod Strickland. To slow for AI Maybe Penny. But I did have hi hope

Another banger from my guy #StuntedGrowth shoutout for this video. #BmoreLegend.... 30k subs OTW. Next video should be Mark Karcher
Wow I can’t believe you did my favorite player In College coming up this should be a treat salute to you JC and Juan Dixon one of the best that ever did it at MD..... Take a Look a Calvin Bowman From West Virginia Too that’s good Story right there.....
Great work!!! Your amazing at what you do Homie!!
I got a request: Clifford Rozier
Great content as usual bro. Can you plz do a stunted growth on Corliss Williamson?
The city of Maryland wtf and Juan from
Baltimore. Never forget Keith Booth
My favorite college player I swear I thought he was going to be the next AI
As always love your videos. Could you please consider Kerry Kittles, Felipe Lopez and or Joe Forte?
Can we get Jack McClinton next one of the Shooters to ever play for the Miami Hurricanes
I’m a Heels fan and haven’t heard that name in like 10 years but once reading your comment remembered how insane dude was
J.D. was what you wanted to be on the court. Going up in the D.M.V. I would call him a legend, if not legendary. Respect B more.
Nice work! You are on point... Great job on this piece.
As a Duke fan, I had nothing but respect for this guy here.
If Joe Smith stayed at Maryland one more year he would have been the GOAT. What he did in 2 years at Maryland a lot don't do in 4 years.
Darryl Nelson Facts
That team was great with simpkins, hipp, Rhodes, and Keith booth
Love your content and vids...Bias takes the cake for best MD hooper, fam.
Jason Riley Respect to Len but he never won it all.
Best MD player? Or best player to win a championship? Lol
You did a vid on Chris Thomas (Fighting Irish)...I was very close to his family. You did him real justice. Known him since he was 13. He was unreal cold bro.
Great video, people forget how nice Juan was. Keith Booth and Dwayne Simpkins deserve a cover.
Len Bias is Maryland's greatest player of ALL TIME.
Point Guards are born not made.
Great Analysis
Sorry
Facts.
His legacy is great, but he didn't win it all.
What about Francis.. another MD hometown guy
@@stuntedgrowth do u think playing w/someone as demanding as Jordan play a part also?
Nah, Wilcox is the best player in school history
Juan Dixon is a legend around here, I still have my old Dixon Wizards jersey but it’s too small now lol proud of my guy no matter how it turned out 💪🏽
Juan was a pure goon I loved his game
I use to be the biggest fan of this dude. Especially when that commercial use to come on about his parents dying. I think it was from AIDS and he was spreading awareness on the commercial I believe. Brave to do that while in college/rookie
Him playing for Portland was something special, following his college career. Even though I knew he wasn't it
Great Video. JUAN DIXON was a GREAT Player. 1 of My Favorite Players. MARYLAND VS DUKE BATTLES WERE GREAT. TOBACCO ROAD BASKETBALL #1. COURTNEY ALEXANDER STUNNED GROWTH WOULD BE A GOOD ONE
That was a guy I was certain was going to be awesome for years. Could see Wilcox not working out in the NBA. But this dude was really something. I have a tape of that game somewhere.

I was big fan of him in college. I really thought he was gonna have a crazy good NBA career. That man was lights out. He had a similar game as Allan Houston
One of my all time favorite players a teams: Dixon, Blake, Baxter and Wilcox.
As a Baltimore native, Dixon was one of my favorite players when I first started to closely follow basketball as a kid. He was also one of the first players whose skills in college I thought wouldn't translate well to the NBA. Maybe he would've been better in today's smaller ball era with more emphasis on 3 point shooting. A poor man's Steph Curry perhaps.
Been waiting on this one. I hit you up a while ago telling you to do one on him 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yessir been waiting for this, one of my forever college players ever and I’m a TarHells fan. But from MD tho lol
I was a big fan of Juan Dixon when he was in College frfr
Watching Juan's game and emulating his game improved my bball game 10x's over.
Very good video, JC! Thank you!
can you do Aaron Craft and Kiatta Bates Diop, both from Ohio State? thanks
Damn, I loved Dix. I used to gamble back in the day, and he won me a ton of money predicting his championship before the season. I actually called 4 out of 5 seasons straight (Duke, Maryland, missed on Syracuse cuz I bet on UCONN, then UCONN and finally actually called both championship teams the next year in NC and Illinois). He and Steve Blake were an awesome tandem and Lonnie Baxter was even good in college. But I feel like his size was the problem, a combo guard/lead guard prior to teams embracing that style of play from a small shooting guard.
Lake Clifton down the street from me josh selby and will Barton went there too
What happened to josh selby
@@crisclay2678 I'm thinking Josh was just overrated.
Good video. Man Iverson was killing dude tho in the beginning 😂
he had game fr, but I think playing behind such a good cast of guards hurt his progression. if he would’ve been drafted in a position where he could start, i have no doubt in my mind he was going to be a star.
Yes. My hero, motivation for any field. His body was just too small and wirey to last in the NBA. Blake lived to dish, Juan to shoot. I got to see Juan play in high school once and several times as a Terp. Iverson-level quickness (edit) plus defense.
This was one of my favorite Teams in NCAA! This was a dope squad!
He came during the right time. When all the best players were jumping straight to the draft. It gave off the bench players starting positions. They was tough & played hard tho
This gotta hit 100k views everybody been asking for this one
Let’s get it mannnnnnn
i remember that backcourt with steve blake
Juan was a beast!Great video
Could you consider doing Sean Williams from Boston College? Dude was prob the best college shot blocker of the 2000s
Juan played on heart he was good but he got as much out of his talent as he could. So his growth wasn’t stunted he was just an undersized shooting guard and by NBA standards a average athlete. I salute him for overcoming the odds and even making it to the league and having a decent NBA career.
I'm a Tarheel, but I did like Juan Dixon. His game was smooth. But what Happened to Julius Hodge for NC State? Do you know?

Looking at that Maryland roster, you could also do a Stunted Growth on Terrence Morris. I remember back in the say he was gonna be the next big name in the NBA, but it never happend
Them highlights of him guarding AI were brutal. Tough cover for anyone. AI was a DAWG
