Could you please do Michael Redd
Andy Hoops make a video on keith van horn
do a story on skip to my Lou rafer Alston
Andy Hoops
michael redd is a pastor now.
From the outside looking in, it's easy to undervalue how important having a great locker room is.
James Burgess yeah dude , I Remeber when they traded him , Paul George was mad as hell and the team went to shit , I was soooo mad
+Ralph delvalle I was more mad than Paul George and you combined.
Ralph delvalle Fuck Larry Bird! He was so full of himself as a gm and think the young players should just toughen up but fucking ignored little details like team chemistry. Then he fired Vogel because he wanted the team to play like the warriors. Made mcmallian head coach and not only their offense didn't improve but their defense turned garbage last year. Everything went to shit for the pacers after that.
James Burgess b
Stan Smith the season he got traded they fell apart and they were better for I think 1 season after he left but after that they have been a mediocre team
Used to destroy people with him on 2k
XaviorJordan fax
XaviorJordan I remember liking Granger over young PG in MyCareer since PG would brick 3s most of the time lol
XaviorJordan fr
XaviorJordan Granger was beast with the clippers on 2k14. Darren collision as well
XaviorJordan yo true.
This man taught Paul George how to be a prolific scorer.
Exactly
Good point. No wonder pacer fall apart so fast after 13-14 season. He was a good team leader and teammate. You can see how happy everyone was when he made the first shot when he came back.
he is like Nick Collison for OKC
Yeah I was shocked when he was traded! He was with the team for such a long time, he was defiantly the franchise player. At least he was with the team when the team started to get notice by everyone in 2011-2013.
No. Paul George breaking his leg is what killed that Pacer team...Bird made a bad decision, and it`s a tough call to make, but he should have tanked while PG was out, traded West for a pick, but they lost him for nothing and he took less $. And also Lance left to the Hornets. Granger was not the reason....They went to the ECF without him in 2013 i believe.
Also like UD of Heat
imagine him and hibbert were healthy and the peak pg...pacers should have been a dynasty
Granger was one of those dudes you would use on 2k but never watch for real.
S0 Friday what do you mean never watch?
S0 Friday bruh he was So Great on 2k...LIKE AMAZING
Cameron Lewis why wouldn't you guys watch for real?
Certified Finest I watched granger tho
Certified Finest cuz it's the pacers..
Finally a video on Danny Granger,this man was my favorite player in Indiana. I feel like 2K messed up by not adding him to the all time team for the Pacers,he was a really dope player
Bapesta23Bankai They did.
I fucking hate granger cuase of 2k
Knees: the killer of elite scorers
Edit: Jesus 300+ likes
MegaLakona lol but true
Derric rose is more suited for this elite move
MegaLakona melo rose and. Couple other stars had knee injuries
Seth Knepper pg broke his leg. This dude messed up shit in his knee. Different thing
Brandon Roy :(
George Hill
Danny Granger
Paul George
David West
Roy Hibbert
6: Lance Stephenson
Best Eastern Conference team next to Miami Trio
I memba :(
Brandon Roy
Makes you wonder if they could’ve gotten over the hump with granger.
Knightmare Lancelot no you idiot, it was the Bulls
Injuries man, they continue to rob us of these great talents.
ikr
Viva Dominicana this don’t even sound realistic
yeah. the nightmares of every NBA player especially stars
yao ming tmac dwight so many
Brandon roy...grant hill...baron davis... its crazy when you think about it injuries in the nba have sky rocketed since like 2000....im not saying people didnt get hurt before 2000 but its crazy the amount and severity of them and its happening to younger guys...
Damn I forgot all about granger, he was Paul George before Paul george
Trap J their play styles aren't similar though
Andre Bryant Paul George got chicken legs. Plus with a history of leg problems he'll have to watch out on his play style. He can't bully people in like LeBron but hes still top 4 NBA SF. He's got a jumper and he's tall so he'll be in the league for a long time.
Bosnian Kingdom No way PG is a Top 4 SF
Karim Couser who top 4 then?
Karim Couser yes he is.. Lebron, KD, Kawhi, PG
ANdy thank you so much for posting this, I am a pacers fan. I believe the pacers cursed themselves when they traded Granger in 2014, they were dominating that season, even though Granger was not healthy, it was a smack to his face, he brought the pacers back to relevance after Miller retired.
At least you have Turner now
toni jelecevic he's a part of the Portland trailblazers!
JDS Videography #PacerNation 💙💛
I think he meant Myles Turner, not Evan Turner !
purplexxfallenz yea lol myles turner redeemed the turner family name
Not a Pacer fan but I've always been a Danny Granger fan. Dude was a workhorse and he set the tone of intensity for Indy. Especially in the playoffs
Absolutely indeed, the Pacers didn't respect Danny Granger. They even let Turner to use his number 33. That's a sign that a fallen former superstar will that once a face of a franchise would not retire his jersey.
Ensign Gaming he did not deserve to have his number retired LMAO
yeah his jersey never getting retired cmon that's for franchise superstars. even guys like Michael red for the bucks don't get a jersey retired. it takes a hof career to get that I doute Brandon Roy either but injuries fucked them for that
@@mikevismyelement Its the PACERS, I don't even play on that team and deserve to have my jersey retired
This story reminds me of Brendon Roy.
Lillard and Roy, George and Granger... It is unfair we never got to see those duos on their peak.
Exactly Roy and Granger was one of those that injuries hurt their career
i remember Danny Granger was a lethal scorer back in 2k14 and while playing Mycarreer mode( playing in chicago bulls) i immediatly requested to trade for him and we eventually formed a dynasty alongside D.rose . Danny granger remains as one of the biggest "What if's " in NBA.
His fall from grace was quite sad.
Good video dude! Not many fans remember Danny Granger. Phenomenal shooter before his injuries got the best of him.
Forgot all bout him. Beast!
I GOT HIS THROWBACK JERSEY
Danny granger was the leader of a playoff team. He needs his respect forreal.
Nice video Andy! As a pacer fan, injuries ruined him. And the emergence of Paul George. I still think with Granger the Pacers could have been champions. Just something to think about.
Pacer Fan if they had prime granger and george running wings with george hill they wouldve beat the heat in 2014
Injuries didn't ruin him faster than the business aspect did, and why would an emerging teammate ruin Granger's career when they were playing two different positions? They could have been a dominant SG/SF "wingdom". You know what really ruined his career? The Pacers lack of patience and lack of perspective. They saw Granger struggle back from injury in his contract year, and thought that getting rid of him would be justified by his current play, and would avoid contract disputes at the end of the year. Granger would have wanted to get paid for how he plays when he is healthy, not how he was when playing injured. This is one reason star players coming back from injury in a contract year (IT) need to not only fully recover, but get back into a playing groove before stepping back on the court, so the management has no leverage to do this stuff. The Pacers could have allowed his contract year to be him getting back into a groove, sign him for a 1 year deal, then if he wasn't playing up to par, then they could have traded him and not payed him a lucrative multi-year deal. No! they were impatient, and lacked the big picture.
Eastra3 I agree but with PG emerging Granger's numbers dropped. Two amazing players that play the same position, one of them's will drop.
Eastra3 the pacers showed it was a good move to trade him though because he certainly wasn't very good after he returned from injury. Trading him didn't ruin the pacers PGs injury did.
Pacer Fan Especially if they didn't trade Kawhi for George LOL But at the time it was a good trade for both sides.
You just don't know how long I've been waiting for this
how long?
Andy Hoops been searching up videos "what happened to Danny Granger?" Since 3 years ago. Everybody seemed to forgot about him.
John Gregorios
I didn't forget about him :/
I love this video, but it's so depressing for me as a Pacer fan. So many what ifs
Kevin Vandy im a Pacer fan and i have had 2 knee injuries. Funny part is that im pretty good scorer. Im like guard version of Danny
minus the NBA part?
My thoughts exactly Backyard basketball with your family members doesn't count.
KJayThaG ! Yeah well i play in organization
Same
He was one of my favorites players
Still upset about Danny's injuries. I didn't care at all about the NBA until I attended a Pacers game in 2008. Watching him drop 34 points instantly turned me into an NBA fan, and he will always be my favorite player for that.
Locker room guys are important just look at the Spurs there is a reason they kept Matt Bonner for so long. Also the reason why Spurs coach Popovich wanted Tim Duncan to come back for his 20th season. Even though Duncan didn't have the numbers he used too, just having him in the looker room would help.
imagine paul george, kawhi leonard and danny granger all in their prime
Yeah nothing against george hill, but the pacers clearly lost on that exchange.
I am a pacers fan and danny was favorite player growing up, thanks andy and nice vid
Please do a story on Danny Manning. His return after blowing out his knee as a rookie was apparently groundbreaking in the NBA.
Ku fan here😢
I have patellar tendonitis like danny granger. It hurts like hell. Him, Brandon roy, derrick rose, greg oden are some players from the 00s that had their careers destroyed by bad knees.
Pacers still could've had Kawhi Leonard.
TheFrostbite324 and he wouldn't be as good as he is now.
TheFrostbite324 nah he needed a Pop or Brad to develop game then maybe
+Isaac Vlogs
popovich developed him he might only have been a good defense without the spurs
Granger, PG, and Kawhi, damn
TheFrostbite324 Leonard and George dam
You know how down right NASTY that team would've been if they never traded Danny Granger, Kawhi Leonard, or Paul George? 😥😱
...And of course if Granger stayed healthy. That's a big ass what if scenario given all the circumstances, but that's crazy how at one point the Pacers had all 3 of them, even if it was only for a couple hours.
9:33 when kevin Durant had respect
Patrick star lol when Kevin Durant didn't believe in himself
kingbanksss loll you have a point
It’s good to be humble but he actually did win the scoring title that year.
love these videos. Growing up before these "super team" era began. Every team had an amazing playrt to watch. I remember Granger was an amazong 3pt shooter. Always wondered what happnd to him. Also Faried, Michael Redd, Ty Lawson, Ben Gordon, Shannon Brown. Awesome Channel bro!
At least he’s still a 2k19 myteam legend
In hindsight when you see guys like Udonnis Haslem and what he meant to that roster before his retirement, guys like Granger really are undervalued. He would’ve been able to help polish PG13s game more & made him an even more complete player early on, but things happen and it’s unfortunate that Danny G never got his bounce back. Dude was a menace & had he gone to a different organization, it’s possible that his knees would’ve gotten different looks and attention and who knows what would’ve happened next.
Thanks to Jonathan Zygmunt (@JMZygmunt11 on Twitter) for giving me this idea! My next video will be about a very unique basketball player from a different country who nearly made it to the NBA, but he ran into some problems with the government. Stay tuned!

Granger and Paul George were gonna be the most dominant duo of Pacers history
i think ur next vid will be abt arvydas sabonis?
Andy Hoops he never played like kd
Waiting for the Kanter Video.
Thanks for the shoutout Andy! Means a whole lot man!
Sucks pretty bad man. I've pretty much given up cardio at age 36 due to my knees hurting. I played a lot of ball in my teens and did a lot of running in athletics. I hope all the advice out there these days can help people last longer as an athlete than me and Danny. Don't burn out early and look after your body people!
Now what about deron williams story? From talks of the best point guard in the league to a minimum making bench player (heh, like d rose)
Nothing like derrick rose...rose will never have 0 points in the finals & 10 points in 2 playoff games
another RUclipsr named Swishout recently dropped a video about the fall of Deron Williams, you should check it out
+Little Dick Clique
deron Williams fell when he went to new Jersey nets in Utah he was good
meh, their career stats isn't that far off from each other.
Rose can still ball cause he's just 28 years old. come 2020, he'd be irrelevant just like the 33 yr old Williams right now.
Even this season, it's not sure if he can play more than 50 games and still score around 18 per game.
The Rose in The Garden and yet still all time d will is probably rated higher on an all time list of best PGs ., 8 consecutive years he was in the discussion as the leagues best Pg 😂
You never know what can happen in life. So cherish every moment and live each day like it's your last.
One of my favorite players growing up. But imo, if he remains healthy, Paul George would never break out as a star but would instead remain as a great 3D player
So true I think the same thing remembering them games between the pacers n the heat
#andythegoat , when you hit 1 mil, I can say I have been here since 4k
I've been here since 0
Andy Hoops 😂😂
Hriday Meka I've been here since 2k
Will like if you guys help my channel with start making videos once the season starts
Here since 17k
The first time I read his name i thought it was Granny Danger. He's so goood at that time.
I remember in the 08-09 season when Danny Granger lost a tooth in the middle the game cause of how hard he was playing on defense during a game. He was pretty much the consummate professional.
Thanks for this. I effing love Danny Granger
I remember Danny Granger. He was an excellent scorer. I was curious about what happened to him because I have not seen him play anymore, which is why I decided to watch this video. Thanks for the video, Andy Hoops!
Danny Granger is the reason why I was able to suffer through those horrible Dunleavy/Troy Murphy teams. He was so good and so fun to watch that it made it all work.
He had base 11
Loved his game out of new Mexico state. he could defend, help on the glass, make plays, drive and had long range capabilities... most won't remember , but Indiana gave Miami the most Fitz when Granger was starting... not shipped off
The Pelicans should give him a tryout. They literally have 0 small forwards and need spacing around Boogie and AD.
He's like 34 or 35 right know tho and with the hurt knees still that would hurt life
Stockton Eakes
when it's over its over
no going back
Danny was done physically but his trade ruined a championship team along with getting Bynum. Worse than the brawl fallout, atleast Reggie went out shooting with Dale Davis returning mid season
Sup Andy love you're vids I agree Danny granger could have been great player
he could of been known if he had no injures
And was one of the top defender as well. The perfect player that never turn out
I agree! I watched him game after game and always thought that his defense wasnt given the credit it deserved.
Danny granger is my favourite player EVER! I'm a Knicks fan as well
Edit: I really badly want him to make the HOF
I played with Danny in college. Thanks for making the video. Nobody remembers him.
he was my favorite player for a while. I'm really disappointed with how his career turned out.
Granger the goat on 2k19😂
Yeah I remember how great Granger was. It is very unfortunate what happened to that man. He was on his way to being an elite NBA player, a superstar before his career was derailed with injuries.
Hell yeah University of New Mexico always making great players. I met him in real life at the state fair an talked to him. It was the highlight of my life as a kid. #DG33
What did he say to you?
I absolutely LOVED his game. He was a killer and it's a shame injuries took so much game from him. Before PG there was GRANGER
Paul George happened
W
Drue exactly
and if you know basketball Paul have yet average 26ppg in a season like granger 😂😂😂
Wow
Because Danny Granger got injured, not the other way around
In the RUclips universe, Mike Korzemba...MJD...all excellent content creators, but Andy’s my favorite. You must possess DEEP knowledge of the League to keep up.
i remember n 2k i was drafted to the pacers and Danny Granger wasnt playing because he was hurt in rl and i was mad because all i had was Paul George and them Paul George was not that good yet he was rlly young
Dude stfu
Good throw back . A few rappers tend to mention his name sometime so it brought me back . I used to use him on the video game all the time.
Paul George is the 2.0 of him honestly. Granger was a goat man
Im not a fan...but I respect dis dude...his toughness and Leadership is underrated...He give so much energy and feel for the game...who ever think he didnt deserve his number to be retired your totally wrong...he deserve it because he goes all out everytime he step on that court...
I remember Josh Howard, a blossoming star from the Dallas Mavericks. The world doesn't.
same
I do
Another dude hindered by bad knees
Danny granger was my dude back in the day
Brandon Roy had a similar story for the Blazers
Brandon Roy was a legit all timer tho if he didn't get hurt
@@wormbizzle7581 so was granger. He was very solid man
@@ldking5132 most Def I always was a fan of granger I remember him trying to get at LeBron in the playoffs he had a good stroke n a nice skills on defense too
Imagine a starting line-up of Pacers:
PG: George Hill
SG: Paul George
SF: Danny Granger
PF: David West
C: Roy Hibbert
then the bench if stephen jackson, artest, and jermaine came back for the final run from 2011-2014
PG: Darren Collison
SG: Stephen Jackson/Lance Stephenson
SF: Ron Artest
PF: Jermaine O'neal
C: Ian Mahinmi
this team would literally give the Miami Heat a run for their money. Very good offense, much better defense
i thought danny was a follower of the faceless men... cut away PG's face years ago as he rose to fame, he has been in disguise this whole time
I don't even watch basketball anymore but I find these videos very enjoyable
Do a what if Danny Granger remained healthy
great video i said this so many times about the pacers but not about DANNY GRANGER i forgot about him and i didnt realize he was such a leader that sucks cuz i wanted them to get a ring one of those years
danny granger was the original paul george
This guy is spot on with everything! Never heard anyone break it down like this! Thank you!
what do u mean what happened? lol he suffered injuries that held him back
This was so sad. In a way it reminds me of Brandon Roy, Josh Howard, and Ricky Davis. Careers that started to get off the ground but were short lived for one reason or another.
Man Josh Howard was another one of those guys
this nigga was good in in old 2k games
Man I forgot which 2k it was but i used to light people up wit him 😂
Kyrie 25.5ppg at 40% from 3 this season at 25, just saying
yeah haha I kinda cherrypicked on the stat in the video, I just looked up scorers who were 25.8ppg+
Andy Hoops horrible person you are
Moboluwarin Ayeye not 25,8 though
So what you're saying is that Danny Granger was on the same level as Kyrie Erving has been on? 🤔 Sounds like a compliment. Wish he would have stayed healthy.
I'll never forget Granger because he went to UNM. I'm from New Mexico and it's pretty rare for a player from New Mexico to be an all-star and average 25 points a game.
*Legend has it, When your early like before 100 views, Andy will pin this comment.*
*Is it pinned?*
the legend is wrong
Andy Hoops *yeah I guess it is wrong.Thanks for replying tho!*
why is it every time I watch videos like this about old players you see George Hill on the bench on every team.
Um.... the first Pacer I thought of was Mark Jackson 😐😐😐
I've been watching the pacers since 05 and Danny was my favorite back in the day. Im a freshman in college now and i still have his autograph hanging on my wall from 08
Do a kevin Martin video
Such a good scoorer especially in Sacramento like 2007, 2008
My dawg Andy. Good video again homie. Very intellectual channel
Nostalgia aside Paul George > Reggie Miller
Tao Aarons you crazy my boy
I agree
Lol no way! Paul George is soft for starters. Plus Reggie Miller is one of the most clutch shooters of all time. Not only that, but Reggie was devoted to the Pacers and ONLY the Pacers. He was and will always be a Pacer. Paul George can't hold a torch to Reggie. His defense is better. I'll give him that, but that's the only thing. Reggie Miller = 18 loyal seasons with us and many, many clutch playoff runs. Even helping get us to the finals in 2000 and would have been there again and maybe even won it all in 03/04. Paul George was just a toxic mistake and an over rated softie.
Yea Danny Granger was really good. When I saw the video, I actually had to ask myself what happen to him. He faded out of the spotlight almost unaware after being "possibly" a top 10 player at his position. Knee problems arent easy to come back from.
Yo rick smits is super underrated
johnny Whiting fax bro
I remember him from NBA 2K13. I was down 10 with 30 seconds and I came in clutch. I hit 5 3s in a row with him
Giannis is the next danny granger
Micheal Jordan not really they are completely different
Micheal Jordan: nah giannis will be much better
They are completely different players
Not even a comparison.. Giannis is on a different level and plays totally different.
I never forget about Danny Granger when mentioning the best Pacers of all time, mainly because he went to UNM and not many great NBA players come from New Mexico. Danny Granger was great but unfortunately his injuries ended his career. So now I have to cheer for another New Mexico player. #Let’s Go Siakam!
Played like KD???? Tf??? Its easy to average 26ppg on a shitty team. Granger was a "michael redd" type player. Had a great year and became overrated.
MIGGYME1 are you fucking joking??? Overrated??? No one remembers him and he was one of the top scorers that season. Also Westbrook and harden are on shitty ass teams also! Dumbass😂😂😂
Two Flyer thats exactly what i said...that one season. Learn to actually read before whining like a fucking newborn.
Thank you he was never on a kevin durant level nor did je play like him
Idk him so he's not overated
MIGGYME1 no because he was constantly improving so it wasn’t really a one season wonder
I was watching one of his games at his prime,he fall on ground and some one kicked him in teeth.I saw teeth and blood on the floor,i thought thats it,but he came back after 6 minutes to seal the game by win!Thats a champions spirit!
Danny is one of my fav pacer player, he wasn't flashy but consistent until injuries destroyed his career. So sad how many great players career ended bad cause of injuries. (KOBI THE BLACK MAMBA) SADFACE
ive been wanting a granger video THANKS!!!!!
As a Pacer fan this pains me to watch
Imagine if he didn’t have those knee issues and was healthy for the 2012-2014 pacers run
George Hill
Paul George
Danny Granger
David West
Roy Hibbert
Lance Stephenson as the 6 man
That team imo would of made the finals
Also the pacers trading him destroyed the teams chemistry so much he was the teams leader and PG said he wasn’t ready for the leadership role and the team started being disappointing after a dominant start
We love Danny here in Indy and wish he could of been healthy for us during that run
Thank you for shedding light on him, he's so overlooked
Danny Granger and Brandon Roy if only this 2 doesn't have injury they could have been 1 of the best scorers in the league.
I always luv Danny Grainger...My hometown Pistons aquired him along with sum other players. And shortly released him before he even put on the uniform. I was extremely irritated that they never give him a chance 2 play considering they weren't even a good team. I really appreciate you making this video. Because I always wanted 2 know what happened 2 his career.
