The good old days! Back when every team had a star or emerging one and was competitive. Great to see penny and grant in their prime. It was a damn tragedy what happened to them getting injured with their best years in front of them. Still future hall of famers though.
One of my favourite 90s vhs nba videos ..I remember purchasing it in 1998 and watched it so many times back in the day..this 1990s era of young talent was freaking awesome!!!!! A transcendent generation no doubt. I give you 2 names: Grant Hill & Penny Hardaway. I truly believe these 2 special phenoms would have accomplished even more than LeBron & Kobe by the end of their careers..what could have been. Unfortunately career long term injuries derailed their full potential. One of the saddest sporting traverstys was the rise and fall of Hill & Hardaway😢 Thankyou for uploading one of my favourite vhs nba videos of all time👍❤
Early 2000s NBA was when I was a little kid. Back then it was more about competition than becoming each others friend & joining each other on a team. It was more physical than todays game. Back then it wasn't all about athleticism
+jonathan fanfan 100% back then dudes were pulling off sick cross overs and attempting posters and doing trick dunks these days the players are too scared to try any of that no heart at all now days
my fave era of the nba- 95-98. bulls last run, amazing vets of the 80s closing out, and new amazing stars coming in and emerging. was a great time to be a fan of the nba- it was wild then- it seemed Everyone was playing ball then, every ad was a ball ad, movies had basketball stars. was great. best of all- every team- every city seemed to have two stars- or at least two young stars comng up. there were no dead teams like there are now. even teams with no wins had a couple young studs to look to
Aye. NBA was seriously massive back then. So glad a caught the golden era as a kid, it was so damn exciting. I still have my Robinson Spurs Jersey that I got for christmas in 1995.
Kevin Garnett was such a freak. He went from 6'11" to 7 foot SG, to SF, to PF to C and did it all brilliantly and his way. Not born and raised in Chicago, but out of Farragut High School, a Westside Chicago High School in the same division as my high school Carl Schurz High School, and Roberto Clemente High School, among others scattered thru the West, NorthWest and Southwest sides of the CHI. Long live #21 Garnett and Clemente !!!!!
The lockout also gutted Vince Baker's career. He became overweight during the lockout and lossed his confidence. While he eventually lost the weight, his confidence never returned.
Damn look how excited the games used to be. Now days the ball looks terrible everyone just jacks up threes and players drive to the basket sooo easily and if they don't score it's always a foul.
Lol Kobe had like 3 minuties of screen time -.- Understandable since he didn't become a star untill 99, but i like how they teased him a little , even back then they could see the the potential oozing out of him.
Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, Kidd are a lock as hall of famers - Hill and Penny would probably have made the hall if not for injuries, and Webber and Marbury were both all-stars for a long time.
The funny thing is he ended up with no rings at all and when you bring up players who sacrificed their potential to win rings Glen Rice automatically came to mind.
Agreed. The Trailblazers had Rasheed Wallace, Brian Grant, Scottie Pippen, Bonzi Wells, Sabonis, Stephen Smith, and Jim Jackson and simply there was nothing left for Damon except dribble the ball up and pass off. Like Kenny Anderson he got to play for a contender, but never amounted to the star he was predicted. I heard rumblings that he was not happy that Isiah Thomas was leaving as Raptors G.M. But he mainly just left because he wanted to win, but sacrificed he's full potential in process.
1995 NBA Draft: Only player from that draft to become a HOFer as a player will be Kevin Garnett. Fifth overall selection. The Timberwolves drafted him. So for the only time, Minnesota actually outwitted and "out-lucked" all of the other teams in the NBA.
Funny thing was that Minnesota initially only showed interest in KG in order to scare the teams ahead of them into letting someone like Rasheed Wallace or Jerry Stackhouse fall to them.
The video came out 1997. Mcgrady was still coming off the Raptors bench. He had not made his mark by the time the video came out. And wouldn't really make he's mark until Vince Carter came and Damon Stoudamire left. Also remember at the time people thought the Bucks got ripped off with the Stephon Marbury/ Ray Allen draft trade. I remember Slam magazine trashing the Bucks for it. While short term the trade looked good for the T'Wolves. In the long term Allen has become the better player.
Shaq era. I’ve never seen a player dominate Duncan/Robinson at the same time... reason being?? Nobody else could!! Shaq took a 17 win basically expansive Orlando team by himself as a rookie and made them a 40+ win team. The fact is, when he was at the top of the game wherever he went they went to the NBA Finals (Orlando/L.A/Miami). And he never needed multiple All Star players on a team to go to the NBA Finals (Penny/Kobe/Wade). He didn’t need Gasol/Bynum or Bosh/Wade or Magic/Worthy... I think you get the point. The dude was just scary. 1. Jordan 2. Shaq 3. The Dream best 3 players that I ever watched.
Every time I see old highlights of Penny Hardaway one phrase comes to mind, what if? That dude had it all but injuries and the departure of Shaq were his downfall.
I'm from Toronto he really can shoot, but when he went to that all star team (Portland Trailblazers that should have won the championship Damon had less scoring responsibility.
What if penny, c-web & grant never got hurt? Grant was bron before bron and penny was like magic. What if they never had a lockout season? Would chicago say together til 99 or maybe 00? I wish ai would've gotten ring tho. But all is hall of famers. Kg and kidd got there's later on there careers. As for stephon and Damon they were good also. Kobe! Damn been a yr people still can't believe he's gone.
Kobe should of been a New Jersey Net. John Calapari was the only one apart from Jerry West who could see the talent. 76ers wanted Bryant as well, but were committed to Iverson as their first pick. But Bryant's agent threaten Calapari that if he was drafted by the Nets, Bryant would go to Europe. Something that Bryant admitted would never of happened. Nets GM John Nash urged Calapari not blink. But he blinked and instead chose Kerry Kittles with his 8th pick.
In my opinion Stoudamire should of never left Toronto. Granted the teams he played on in Portland had more talent but he became nothing more then a role player.
Vince doesn't have a shot? You obviously only know VC because of his Dunks, and you've never watched any of his games, you've never seen any of his 40 foot buzzer beaters, you haven't heard any of the commentators say he has the deepest range ever. Think before you talk, Vince was a better shooter than everyone in this video besides Kobe and Penny.
The video came out in 1997. Duncan would have been in the midst of his rookie season. You notice they have only one clip of him in the highlights 37:08. While Iverson, Marbury, and Kobe had already played a full rookie season. And were into their second year so there was alot more material.
clearly dont watch enough ball people think him and jason richardson are all dunks but both have good outside shots and perimeter defense. but then again you probs just watch the highlights so wont see all that

Times sure does fly. Feels like yesterday we were watching these guys do their thing. RIP Kobe.
Where is Duncan ?

Eric both of these guys had foot injuries that derailed their careers that would have made them HOF bound!!!!!
+eric telles Spot on bro, Back in the days when you think of a team and one player stood out and your friends agreed.

Joshua Fult your right they got zero heart
Back then the rigging of games was done openly😂
This was like 1997
now these players are all retired its amazing cuz I grew up watching Kobe, A.I, KG, Tim Duncan
Where is Duncan ?

This makes me feel old
Damn this brings back memories of my childhood cause I remember having this DVD as a kid thanks for the upload
27:55 "He's gonna be a Laker for a long time." Nick Van Exel was a prophet

These were the days when nba was good to watch.
steeeevenk how
2024 and still watching the best era in basketball
KG made 15 All-Star Game appearances. The other 57 players drafted in the NBA COMBINED for a total of 10 All-Star Game appearances.
Thank you so so much for uploading this!
Early 2000s is my generation I started watching Basketball in 2004. I was 13 yrs old
That was basically the end of the golden era, sorry to say.
The lockout also gutted Vince Baker's career. He became overweight during the lockout and lossed his confidence. While he eventually lost the weight, his confidence never returned.
He was also being asked to play against bigger players as well.
love penny . unselfish, humble,
non cocky
+BiG Penny But why did this happen to him? Very unfortunate.
Now, he is a HC of U of MEmphis.
And those shoes!!!.. He was like T-Mac before T-Mac.
Never to be heard of again after the 1996 playoffs. After Shaq left Orlando. Penny became a never was.
Rak shasa that sucks
Chris Webber and Grant are still definitely future hall of famers I guarantee that
We really need this for this decade... this is potentially going to be the most talent filled decade in nba history
ahh one of my favorites growing up, watched this VHS hundreds of times. My favorite parts are Penny, Damon Stoudamire, and Iverson/Marbury
Awesome channel
Damn look how excited the games used to be. Now days the ball looks terrible everyone just jacks up threes and players drive to the basket sooo easily and if they don't score it's always a foul.
dang they gave grant hill the crown and due to injury it was passed to kobe bryant
Lol Kobe had like 3 minuties of screen time -.- Understandable since he didn't become a star untill 99, but i like how they teased him a little , even back then they could see the the potential oozing out of him.
He made it to the all star team in 1998. He the youngest starter in NBA all star game history and youngest slam dunk champion in 1997
@MANCHESTER UNITED you gotta think about the population tho from country to country; among other variables
@M Soccer is crap. No one likes it in my country. Basketball is the most important ok
One of my favorite players ever THE BIG TICKET 😎
He nothing but a legend. So ferocious.
Video came out right in the beginning of Duncan's rookie year. I think there's one clip of him in the credits
A long story about Damon.. and a clip for T-Mac, Ray Allen
Damn Nash JKidd and KJ in one team? Damn PGs are loaded in Phoenix that time
Really tho
+Cedric only JKidd has a NBA crown on his resume
Nash's greatest accomplishment was playing 20 minutes a game at the time
Straight Classic!
Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, Kidd are a lock as hall of famers - Hill and Penny would probably have made the hall if not for injuries, and Webber and Marbury were both all-stars for a long time.
Anyone here after Kobe’s passing?
R.I.P. Kobe Bryant
Its sad that Grant Hill got injured cause he was the best out of all of them.
He wasnt better than Kobe tho, or Garnett
Every young player back then was nicknamed "The Kid" by commentators. lol.
Kidd & Grant Hill were grown men. Ahead of their time. The rookies now still look and act 12.But I still love the NBA.
Who knows the song starting from 14:12 with Jason Kidd? Thanks alot.
The funny thing is he ended up with no rings at all and when you bring up players who sacrificed their potential to win rings Glen Rice automatically came to mind.

Man, I had completely forgotten about Damon Stoudamire. He mad look Isaih Thomas look tall! ;)

Penny...my sole idol...
dunk at 8:48 is unreal watch it closly, best put back ever
they dont make vids like these anymore ???
What's that song from 0:18 to 0:44?
Watched this as a 14 year old on VHS (1997 I think). Back here in jan 26 2020 because of the passing of a Laker Great.
RIL Kobe Bean Bryant.
I bet you when vin Baker was making this video he didn't think that he would be working at Starbucks someday😂😂
Rest easy Flip
The video came out 1997. Mcgrady was still coming off the Raptors bench. He had not made his mark by the time the video came out. And wouldn't really make he's mark until Vince Carter came and Damon Stoudamire left.
Also remember at the time people thought the Bucks got ripped off with the Stephon Marbury/ Ray Allen draft trade. I remember Slam magazine trashing the Bucks for it. While short term the trade looked good for the T'Wolves. In the long term Allen has become the better player.
Kobe,iverson,Kidd,webber is really the name that was consistence in the 2000
where can i find the music for this
Can u make for 2010 too?
the last half of this video felt like it needed to be ejected from the dvd player, cleaned a bit and put back in.
6:59
KG
2004 MVP
9x 1st Team all Defense (most of any forward in league history)
2008 DPOY
2008 NBA world championship ring with the Celtics 🍀

Most of these amazing guys are on my favorite #khuckleheads podcast 😮🎉😂
whats the song at 5:06 ?
Tom Hedden - A New Game.
yeah the sync always messes up when I load really big files
I really don't understand why these organisations kept trading Chris Webber so early in his career... Amazing player in my opinion.
I had this VHS
great video but the audio sucks after 35:00
I remember watching this as a teen, mimicking My favorite player AI
is that the preview guy?
Vince Carter and T-Mac to da rack!!!
Kobe. 💔💔💔💔💔
Peny Hardaway wow i miss player very competitor player so big and so quick but suddenly he ruin by injury and for leaving by the shaq damn...
0:44
Jordan= 🐐 🏀
The early 2000s was the last great era of the NBA
Damon was a good player, should been a all star
Bad shooter tho, But true he got snubed.
That Dude I am pretty sure that he could stroke it. he had to sacrifice his game for the good of the team in Portland
I'm from Toronto he really can shoot, but when he went to that all star team (Portland Trailblazers that should have won the championship Damon had less scoring responsibility.
Grant Hill was the Greatest of all of them.
Young Rain KOBE SAYS HELLO
lol lol lol lol
J Kidd should have stayed with the Mavs if i were him. Look at my idol Dirk Nowitzki, he became a champion.
In 2011 they both did it together.
Kobe 🤧
31:42 the same coach that almost screwed TMac up
Please add Garnett, 2nd best up there behind Kobe. 2004 MVP!!!
yupp, he shocked the world.
35:02 damn cmon shaq
i wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that marbury and iverson are related
Back when Marbury was a sensation..
Now Starbury is the main main in China. Got statues of him there.
3 of them. Kobe has 5, Garnett 1 and Kidd 1. Hilariously Juwan Howard might end up with one after this year.
RIP KOBE BRYANT
What if penny, c-web & grant never got hurt? Grant was bron before bron and penny was like magic. What if they never had a lockout season? Would chicago say together til 99 or maybe 00? I wish ai would've gotten ring tho. But all is hall of famers. Kg and kidd got there's later on there careers. As for stephon and Damon they were good also. Kobe! Damn been a yr people still can't believe he's gone.
penny :(
+BiG Penny Anfernee :(
+BiG Penny Hardaway :(
the greatest era of nba is 95-02
DCC 1980 Stoudamire had plenty of off the court problems like drugs etc.
damon stoudemire and isiah thomas in the same breath ?
Kobe should of been a New Jersey Net. John Calapari was the only one apart from Jerry West who could see the talent. 76ers wanted Bryant as well, but were committed to Iverson as their first pick.

But he blinked and instead chose Kerry Kittles with his 8th pick.
Same thing happened to Shawn Kemp.
Damon never turned into anything
Nope nm no clip of him.
injures are sports number 1 enemy
In my opinion Stoudamire should of never left Toronto. Granted the teams he played on in Portland had more talent but he became nothing more then a role player.
I give you two names : penny and grant hill...way better than kobe and lebron.

Vin Baker. Another sad ending to a promising career smh.
Man i'm sad to say thisbut the league kinda died when the Celtics as came up with the big 3
