- Three Biggest ‘What Ifs’ of Shareef Abdur Rahim’s Career | Stunted Growth
Today’s feature is one of the most versatile players of his era, and was the perfect wing player that could fit in just about any generation of the NBA. He became an NBA all star, averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds for his 12 season career, yet when you look at his history and how things played out, he’s also one of the biggest what if stories of superstar potential, but factors not in his control caused that potential to fade slowly over time. Shareef came into the league after spending just 1 season in college where he was the conference’s freshman of the year and player of the year, the first player in the pac 10 to do so. Like college he was immediately their best player averaging 18 points 7 rebounds a steal, a block in 35 minutes and 80 games played. From there his career individually was all star level, yet his teams couldn't find their way to the post season. Three Biggest ‘What Ifs’ of Shareef Abdur Rahim’s Career | Stunted Growth

I live in Vancouver...My University coach worked for the Grizz...We got mad free tickets. Shareefs talents were wasted on a mismanaged team destined to fail. The infrastructure they left behind benefited the Vancouver basketball community. Their practice facility in Richmond BC was state of the art at the time. We were able to train there...Back to 'Reef, him and Bibby were a great pair but otherwise they never got any players with real upside. He was a victim to the phenomenon known as Vincanity across Canada...Respect for this...I commented before even watching lol 👊🏾
So true. Shareef was a legit 1 and done. He was an outstanding player during his freshman yr at Cal. I live in Memphis and most of the late games on ESPN would be the Pac 10(sometimes the WAC and Big West). It's a shame it didnt work out in Vancouver.🏀🏀 I visited Van city in Aug 1987 when i was in the Navy and loved it, one of my favorite ports. Even though I'm glad we(Memphis)got an NBA team, I'm also aware that the Grizz were mismanaged from the very beginning. I knew Stu Jackson made horrible basketball decisions and the ownership was shaky. Michael Heisley bought the team and lied about keeping the team in Vancouver. As soon as the team moved to Memphis, they cleaned house. I wish we could've kept Shareef though but he was part of the Pau Gasol trade. We saw Big Country play in Memphis for 2 preseason games!🤦🏾♂🤦🏾♂I was at his last game ever(vs Miami Heat). They bought him out and Big country retired.
@@elwin38 Big country...smh. sad memory hahah. Respect brother
I’m from Macon Ga. Him & Jason Terry(plus my love for bball at a young age) were the only reasons I watch the Sorry a** Hawks
@@CoachVFitness man big country use to give shaq problems. They just didnt know how to utilize players right nor could they get players to even want to play there
@@elwin38 You spoke the truth. The trio of the original ownership, Stu Jackson and Heisley killed Vancouver Grizzlies.
Shareef was phenomenal in college - his touch was so great. The brother was a joy to watch hoop!
And he went back to school and got his degree 📜. Mad respect for that.
I wouldn’t consider his growth stunted. He had a hell of a career . Look at the numbers.
People pick random times to look at numbers. That's why I consider him the most under rated player overall.
He aint get to reach his full potential he aint get no playoff success he had a great individual career doee ill give him that
@@zaydagoat6952 that’s what I’m saying. His individual stats are highly respectable. I was just looking at them a few weeks ago, and I was impressed . When you get a chance , take a look at them. All star stats indeed.
@@younglove3362 can’t be underrated without any significant wins.. I mean a playoff series is the peak of his career 1 all star game I mean he’s not underrated man you are actually overrating him with that talk and that’s why people have to say negative stuff because your a fool
He was picked like 3rd so yea he did ight but
Imagine Shareef on a contending team in his prime! Could've been special.
He was a truly great player. Sad that he made the playoffs once in 12 years
I would like see Anthony Randolph, Tom Gougliotta, Roy Tarpley and Martell Webster
I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t mention that SAR is the current president of the G-League.
Great vid though.
@@thedoranwilliamsshow6863 Especially Roy Tarpley.✌🏾This guy was so talented and had so much potential but couldn't stop drinking. I saw him on TV at Michigan and his early years in Dallas. In the 1988 Playoffs, he was almost unstoppable. I saw every game of that Mavs-Lakers series(West finals)and Roy Tarpley gave an old, aging Kareem Abdul-Jabbar the business. Took the Lakers to 7 games. After that, Roy went downhill fast...just a waste of talent.🤦🏾♂🏀🏀
He could've and would've been exceptional.
Kevin Martin was a legit stunted growth. Had some good scoring years and just disappeared.
More like both growth spurt and stunt. He was drafted at 26th overall that made him a growth spurt and sadly he played for awful non playoff teams during his prime that stunted his growth.
The 96 Draft Class was hands down the best!!!
Can you do a stunted growth on Kerry Kittles, The Texas Longhorn guards Roderick Anderson and Terrence Rencher from 95-96 Team
He did one on Kittles already ruclips.net/video/TOWv7n0BOfI/видео.html
I'd like to see something on Roderick Anderson too
96 is the deepest. 1984 is the best, it peaks the highest by far. 3 separate MVPs, 8 FMVP, 7 MVPs, 10 scoring titles, 4 DPOY, all times steals per game leader, points per game leader, blocks leader, assist leader, steals leader, most scoring titles. That’s the highest peak of a draft class.
He already made a video about Kerry Kittles. It was a major injury that ruined his career that caused him to miss the 2000-2001 season.
@@highlightboy23 Kittles couldn't get his own shot.Suspect handle. He was an absolute Greyhound running the lane.
For anyone that doesn’t know, this is the guy jaylen brown looked up to as he was coming out of HS. Same HS and ultimately chose Cal as well after SAR suggested he visit!
Coach Dez is there link
Yep from Marietta GA! I'm from there too lol but it's funny because Marietta is so big that I actually never even heard of him! Also Malcolm Brogdon is from ATL too and he went to a school my friend did for half a year before transferring. Fun fact Anthony Edwards went to the same high school that Young Dro did in Atlanta (not at the same time obv). Dwight Howard went to a christian academy if I remember and he played against one of my best friends. Cameras were everywhere!! Hell most recently Walker Kessler went to school in College Park lol I actually didn't know that until recently!
Long story short we got some hoopers in the ATL stand up !!
Facts
He was on of my faves in high school, he was a bucket!
The first authentic NBA Jersey I bought for. Thank you so much for this video. I have been waiting for Shareef Abdur-Rahim to be featured in your channel as I consider him the most wasted talent in NBA History not affected by serious injuries or other disasters other than just being stuck on lottery teams for the most part of his career. Next should be Jamal Mashburn.
He was one and done at a time when it was actually frowned upon.
Yeah true but Kobe and Jermaine O’Neal were prep to pro the year Reef came out of college and this was a year after fellow 1995 McDonald’s all American Kevin Garnett was the same. Also Stephon Marbury came outta college after his freshman season that same year.
Injuries and bad teams are a bad combo to be sure. I loved his inside-out game.
he would be nice in today's era he was ahead so of his time in his playing days back then he can fit in today's league.
Individually his growth wasn’t stunted, but clearly the obvious: not on winning teams and also, not getting multiple All-Star nods.
Random fact...he also played college ball with future NFL hall of famer Tony Gonzalez
Imagine if Jason Kidd stayed all four years at Cal?? He woulda been a senior during Shareef’s freshman year. Those two plus Tony Gonzalez woulda been nice.
Thanks for doing an Abdur Rahim video. I remember Shareef is the first rookie who genuinely wanted to do well for the city of Vancouver. Not only a great player but a stand up guy.
Thanks for doing this one! As someone from Vancouver, it's nice to see some of our players getting some recognition. Reef was our superstar and leader. Would love to see a Mike Bibby video sometime.
I saw SAR at a G-League Ignite game last month. I approached him with my young son and asked for an autograph for my son and a picture.
*SAR: why do you want my autograph? I’m not a player.*
*Me: you were the 3rd pick in the 1996 NBA Draft.*
*SAR: yeah, but your son doesn’t know that.*
*Me: he doesn’t, but I do.*
SAR signed the autograph, and smiled for the pic.
He was the real deal
Yes he was. 💯
Too bad he had injuries and the misfortune of playing mostly out west for crappy teams when many guys at his size and position were on western conference teams
Shareef was my first NBA jersey back in 98. He had such an underwhelming career for such a solid player. That’s the word I thought of before you even said it. He was just never on a good team.
I loved his game!!! I remember watching the rookie game and he did a move with this soft touch layup finish at the rim. I had the game recorded and I was watching it getting myself hype to hoop and when my boy came over to pick me up I was like yo Shareef is nice watch this silky smooth move!
Damn those Vancouver home uniforms are dope af!!! Even the Vancouver draft caps were absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shareef Abdur Rahim and even Big Country Reeves were done bad, because they were really good players on a team that didn't want to win.
I used to get down with his nanny while he was playing here in Sacramento, she had a bunch of good stories lol… Shout out to Miss MJ 😝
he was my favorite player growing up
Rahim was a great player !!! I watched him and Jason Kidd in a tournament game.Followed his pro career. Grizzlies did not do right by him. What a shame. The man had game !!!
Nice series of what if. Upcoming topics: KD & Kryie's Brooklyn Nets, Chris Paul's career and Kahwi's Clippers
I was just a fan of his game! So fun to watch
Toni Kukoc could be a stunted growth story. He was a prominent role player for a great team but never became a franchise player
Idea for a video: Jeff Hornacek. He's only remembered for losing to Bulls as a Jazz. Dude could ball
...and getting his ass WHOOPED by Jerry Stackhouse...
Rah was one of my favorite young late 90s Players. After that he just disappeared
Can you do Juwan Howard and Stephen Jackson
Thanks for hitting us with Shareef!! Looking for that Tim Thomas, Kenyon Martin, or Gerald Wallace video next fam!
He already had Tim Thomas(lack of work ethic and drive to elevate his game to the next level) and Kenyon Martin(due to injuries) featured before.
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought that was Lil Reese. Lol
I would like to see Juan Howard next! He never reached his full potential either!
Kidd and Shareef would've been crazy. Plus the help of VC and RJ it would've prolonged his career.
Love shareef
Yhall to young to know about him 💯
His backup in college was Tony Gonzales the TE. He’s gotta be a smart dude going to Berkeley too. Love his game. If he played today they’d put a little more arc on his jumpshot and he’d be phenomenal
He would kill this modern league
Reef was avg 30ppg as a freshman w/ Cal at one point I think. He was da truth... Sidebar do Mike Dickerson or miles Simon... Don't know what happened to those dudes.... Stunted growth rap do freck billionaire /West Philly Freck.. Dude could spit
Will be great if Antonio Mcdyess Drew Gooden Raef Lafrentz Danny Manning Antawn Jamison Joe Barry Carroll and Elton Brand are featured here soon
I would personally pick Drew Gooden on your list as I wondered how he did not pan out despite having a healthy career and a decent start to his career.
The definition of an underwhelming 2000’s player!
Great video a super talent…. I grew up in Southern California so him playing in the back then pac-10 I was able to see him alot
One of my favorite old school players to add in my lineup in 2k myteam.
Finally I’ve been asking for this
Hey John thank you for following my suggestion on a video on Shareef. Fun fact me and Shareef share the same birthday December 11. Another fun fact I played a former teammate of his in a basketball combine in Luxembourg wiltz, his teammate was Ivano Newbill who end up playing one season in Portugal following this combine in 2006.
Great video and definitely a player that was a part of unfortunate circumstances all out of his control.
Great Vid!!!! I remember him going to the Cal.
I thought he and JKid was gonna play together.
But kid bounced
Are you still in Japan?
This is why current players fully utilize their free agency because a lot of team suck management wise even if they have talent
Met him when he played for Atlanta cool dude
Have you done Michael Dickerson yet? He was a straight hooper and an instant score on NBA Live after you decided to reach in the game. He turned out to be Rash ad McCants beforehand McCants
@Stunted Growth
You should do a Qyntel Woods Stunted Growth. Man he was the PENULTIMATE disappointment. Coming from Memphis,Tn Carver, High School he was the #1 prospect out. Gets drafted & starts screwing up big time & he didn't give a SHIT about letting everyone down. Last I saw him he was playing in the Big 3 League
I was hoping that my hometown hawks would have done better with him. I was excited when he came home. But it didn’t pan out.
A real GA HS basketball legend.. he put Wheeler on da map … Dunwoody got them boyz in the state championship game tho
Facts' I played for WRHS that same year our best season in decades we one the region and was a game away from playing Wheeler he was the best player in GA probably the whole southeast!
Great video, huge Shareef fan growing up. How about one on Michael Dickerson.
LIKED-&-SHARED!!!!
☢☢☣☢☢
Remember nba live 96 where you had to find players that was drafted to pull up their name and already created 😂 his name is on that list
i just watched knuckleheads....and shocked that vancouver passed on lamar odom who said he was willing to go there no problem
Thank you!!!!
So inspirational
Shareef was such an underrated talent. He could post up, face up, mid range, drive, pass & shoot . Think Chris Bosh with handles and better IQ. Big Country's failure to , let's be blunt - take professional basketball seriously - led to a quick physical demise for a once promising Center. Adding Bibby made sense. But the handling of the Steve Francis situation was a nail in the coffin. Shareef deserved better.
This dude is a god in 2K
For like 2 years he was 3rd in scoring behind Jordan and Malone
7:45 😂😂😂 "and of course marijuana posession" The "Jailblazers" get me everytime 😅
Reef was a case of an excellent player on a bad team. He’d fit right in today’s game. He’s doing an excellent job as the president of the G-League.
I forgot which 2k year it was, but this man is deadly in the game hahs
I think a team in Vancouver could work now, with the league no longer testing for THC and the cannabis culture in VC, it's a no brained.
He was a great player just in bad circumstances team talent wise
If Lamar Odom never went to the Lakers = Shareef
Basically
The restrictions the NBA put on Vancouver just set that franchise up for failure
I remember this dude when I was like 21 22 my homie was telling me about him
Reef and vin Baker could of been hall of Fame
Yooooo JT ..... For Karlton Hines Next
Yo at 6:48 is the nastiest big three ever!! Lmao !!!‼️
Playing on small market teams stunted his growth.
Bro was tough!!! Wish he could’ve did his thing
I'm from Vancouver, his growth was not stunted, he was a legit star & even played on team USA.... However, he was never a true #1 option to lead a team - his passing out of double teams was not good... he was an excellent #2 option however.... awesome career.
I always felt sorry for him as far as his NBA career went.
DOES THIS GUY EVEN KNOW THE DEFINITION OF STUNTED GROWTH!??😂😂😂
If only he went to a franchise worth a damn to start out his career
He had a decent career and is a Ga legend.
Wish he kept tight and took over in memphis when they moved
This guy had one of the worse draft situations ever.
Then you have the Tim Duncan draft situation. It's almost like Tim won the lottery multiple times on the same day.
Me and Shareef share the same the birthday.
Gerald Glass if anyone remembers him
Have you done a video on Darius miles??
when 20 points and 8 rebounds meant you put in work
I always thought him and jason kidd played together at cal
Two problems with the Grizzlies.The Drafting of Reeves and the drafting of Francis a player that refused to play for Vancouver and got his wishes in a trade.
Anybody who got drafted by the expansion team Grizzles should have done the Steve Francis and ask for a trade
as a uconn fan get we get hasheem thabeet and emeka okafor please
Bustttttttttttt
ATLANTA METRO HIGH SCHOOL 🏀🐐
Steve Francis was drafted by Vancouver in the 1999.. he refused to play with them the location was a problem. I believe Shareff was still in the team
He was tough. Can I get Monster Mash!
I got one of his ATL jerseys
Do Danny fortson😮😮😮
You mentioned Qyntel Woods on this video so maybe him too 🤷🏾♂️
Always wondered what happened with him it was a mystery
This is the most under rated player of all time ⏲️. He was running 🏃♂️ things on the Hawks. He just didn't have a good line up. He was better than Rasheed Wallace but always overlooked.
Better than Rasheed wouldn't say all dat player
He went to the same high school and college as Jaylen Brown
