That Sampson behind the back pass was impressive! 🤯💪
I only see him play on kings I am 48
Sampson was nice
His knees was gone by 87
Wow
Yes Ralph was 40 years before wemba and could handle the ball well also ,was shooting from outside the same way.
Big facts
Hakeem and Sampson should have been major problems for a longer period of time...
Ralph Sampson had a major knee problem that was solved but he never returned to.normal after then.
@@RestyMervinPonio yeah brother I know... Knee surgeries then ain't nearly as progressive as they are now...
Ralph Sampson was a 7 foot 3 or 4 in player that played and had skills like a small forward, he was a few decades ahead of his time, he was expected to play like a traditional center inside the paint back to the basket! Injuries and he didn't return to his previous form!
@@waligibson240 After the surgery, he had recurring knee injury that kept his potential up to 100%, that why he was traded to the Sacramento Kings in 1992.
@@waligibson240basically Wemby is Ralph but better
And this was on a bad knee
Went to UNC when Ralph played at UVA. He was Wemby before Wemby. Even with jordan, worthy, perkins--sampson held his own.
He was wemby before wemby?? First of all how dumb of a comparison u gonna give a dude about another dude that wasn't even born yet? And before u respond with another dumb reply ask yourself? When wemby came on the scene did u say wemby plays like Sampson??
The only thing is when Sampson played in college, he dominated but his dominance didn't translate into the NBA. I watched him heavily when he played at Virginia. The same for Brad Dougherty and Sam Bowie. They all were devastating in college like Ralph Sampson but their dominance was short lived in the NBA. I know Dougherty amd Bowie had injuries. I cant remember off the top of my head why Sampson's star fizzled out quick. Help me out fellas.
Brad Dougherty played in Cleveland for quite a while .. he had decent skilks , but was probably a little overrated coming into the league. NC Tarheels had a TEAM and nearly everyone was considered a star, but i think Dougherty had a slight conditioning issue. . Bowie was VERY good but had fragile legs ( even in college). He retired early because of leg injuries. Sampson was good too but suffered injuries as well;at 7"4 , 82 games running up and down a 94 foot court isnt easy. Lots of men their size retire early for similar reasons.
Sampson was built much stronger. Even when both were 20. People didn't move Ralph when he didn't want to be moved. His body betrayed him.
ACC basketball was loaded with talent!
The dream dominated a lot of big men in NBA history
Sampson was one of the first unicorns,7’4 with handles and a jump shot… the game wasn’t played as loosely as it is today back then so he didn’t get to display it all the time… 💯
Too bad Ralph's knees plagued him early. Who could forget that Sports Illustrated picture of him curling HUGE dumbells in EACH arm!?!?!?
& by then Sampson was a shell of what he was ..
Classic big man battle 💪🏿😎
Sampson was a beast ❤❤
I never liked to hear that "Sampson was Wemby before Wemby." Wemby is Sampson _after_ Sampson.
But todays players are more skilled huh?😭
Nope lol
SAMPSON WAS THE MAN ! And that was when He was traded from HOUS after he torn his knee, then the other knee later. A Prime RALPH .... He would be in the same convo as Wilt, Kareem, Mikken, Russell, Hakeem.
Definitely crazy thing is Sampson played like a Wing Guard or forward.
@@EdwardJoshua-tr9yt His style was like Ginnis
Sampson was considered the best center in college basketball since Kareem during his days at Virginia
Ralph Sampson is hardly talked-about but is one of the greatest big man in basketball
TWIN TOWERS ROCKETS PRIDE!
Sampson was surprisingly agile for a big man!
Sampson was the 80's Wemby...
minus the handles and 3point range.
Why don't people understand that if the 3 wasn't a big emphasis back then why would you spend alotta time working on it. Players now days have no midrange game because the 3 is a bigger part of today's game. Had players in the 80s & 90s worked on they're 3 point shot like they do now they would've been as good as today's players. Duh!😂
Its frightening that houston could of traded sampson to the bulls and it would of been hakeem and hordan on same team
Sampson was a beast!!
😮Wow, I didn't even remember Sampson playing for the Warriors. To bad the medical technology around today was around forty years ago. There could have been a chance for the 'twin towers' to have a longer impact in the league.
We were deprived of what Sampson should have been he was an absolute force before the knees
Would love to see Hakeem play with this generation of, three or dunk players
Sampson was Ewing's rival in college and in the Pros.
Ralph Sampson was a problem before knees gave out
Inl always thought the 🚀 should've traded Sampson for Clyde Drexler
That's why the rockets traded him. He had bad knees . Samsung. and Dream. Would have been A force
Samson
I hated when they traded Sampson to Golden State.
Greatness
During those times there was no free lunch in the paint in the n b a.You have monsters all over the country.During that time span
Damn if Ralph's knees had held up we'd be talking about something different
Honestly Sampson will definitely be in a goat conversation if his injury would not have entered him That's a fact young people and I'm still young lol😂
Love to have saw Ralph Sampson without the Injuries?
SAMPSON WAS A GREAT PLAYER GREAT ALL AROUND PLAYER BUT DID NOT HAVE THE LONGEVITY AND THE STAMINA. I BELIEVE HE ONLY PLAYED ABOUT 7 SEASONS IN THE NBA.
Sampson kinda goofy on the offense 🎉
His degenerative knees was his downside. Sampson was good.
Wemby is not Ralph yet
Never thought about that comparison... LoL
The first 7'4" before wembi , nothing new.
If he never got hurt when they played tog
They would have won a chip
Sampson's ego became his addiction, and ruin.
Title say 88 which was it 87 or 88 haha
It was in 1988 after he got traded
I 4got bot sampson,he was a bad Man 2
Samson and alijuwan ,was supposed to be the twin towers
66
Sampson was a breast for about two three yrs. That's it.
Look qt the physicality compared to this soft azz era
Thee original twin towers.. 🏀🏀🏀
Real big man battles😮
Show where jordan beats both guys
Sampson was an absolute beast. Bad knees got in the way of greatness.
