One of my favorite Family Matters episode was when Larry Johnson balled on the court with Steve as Grandmama. I bet SMU is still kicking themselves to this day
Massive Larry Johnson fan... I had so much Hornets starter gear in junior high. Hahahaha. Even tho he had a relatively long and successful career... he's still one of the biggest "what ifs" in NBA history. With a busted back and his explosive superpowers taken away he still averaged 16/ 7.5 / 3 for his career. Insane. Before his injury those 2 seasons he averaged 21/11/4 and averaged 80 games a season and 39 minutes a game. Plus his team was getting better. The first 5 seasons of his career he averaged 19/9/4 and 3 of those seasons were after hurting his back. LJ would've been a 22/10/4 guy most his career I would imagine. He was so fun to watch. NBA Jam Hornets was the ish... hahaha
Yeah I was a big fan I was in junior high too I had a hornets starter jacket I wore all the time lol I remember him at unlv hoping they would kick the rich boys from dukes butt lol
Johnson was a big deal when he came in to the league and rightfully so. Had he been injury free or less injured, his career would look A LOT different. Healthy, he's a sure fire hall of famer and could have done some real damage in the league. He was an athletic beast, with skill, great spin moves in the post and an ability to get to the basket through defenders.
report said that he was offered by the Knicks to retire his jersey number on the rafter, but Johnson turned down the offer because of his back which led to an under-performed stint in NY, he thought his number didn't deserve to be on the rafter.
Larry Johnson will always have a legacy as the purple Monstar "Bupkus" allong with his teammate Muggsy Bogues as the red Monstar "Nawt" in Space Jam (1996).
I was a teen when LJ was drafted by the Hornets in 91. The commercial of him dressing up as Grandmama endorsing his shoe was awesome. I always wanted the Converse AeroGlide (pre-React Juice) and I have yet to see those retroed.
*FUN FACTS* • To date, Johnson is the only male player to win a version of a national player of the year title in high school, JUCO, and NCAA division 1. •According to one publication, there were some scouts who believed Johnson could’ve been a lottery pick if he came out of Odessa into the 1989 NBA draft.
What an amazing video centering around Larry Johnson. I have newfound admiration and respect for LJ. I wasn’t born yet to watch either Johnson or Mourning in their Hornets’ days, so I’m glad that this video exists. Very informative. It’s unfortunate that Alonzo Mourning couldn’t get the contract he wanted from the Hornets, and Larry succumbing to injuries so early in his career. Despite their bickering, Johnson and Mourning seemingly played very well together, and the Hornets had a good core around them. The Charlotte Hornets still have not reached nearly the success and popularity that these two brought to the franchise, even after 30 years later.
@@chiefrebelangel817 he had four great seasons in Charlotte, one other year in Charlotte where he missed 30 games, then during the NY years he could hardly be called a "beast" due to injuries - he averaged 12.3ppg in his five years in NY. So, as I said, he definitely was a beast.. for a few years
Just found this channel and am going to binge watch. If you haven't done one on David Thompson yet that would be a good one. The greatest dunker who never gets brought up anymore when talking about who the greatest dunker was. Also played the greatest half in NBA history when fighting Ice Man Gervin for the scoring title on the last game of the season
I feel bad for youngsters who think this is real basketball nowadays. We followed college players like the pros. Coming str8 out of high school in this new era, the last 20 years ruined both college and pro creating a soft, 3 point shooting, European league.
I had his Converse Aero Jams in like 93 or 94 for playing at HS, never touched anything but the hardwood. I loved them to death but after only 1 game they began to leak yellow goo from the heel on the court. "Sadly" the best player on the other team slipped in said "goo" and broke his arm. We won and I was benched for the next year. Thanks Larry! ♥
Thank you for making this video! LJ, J.R Rider, Mitch Richmond and Eddie Jones were my favorites and I loved to watch them. LJ the most, I could never find his jersey but he made a huge impact on me as a kid.
0:55 I just got my HORNETS 2 JOHNSON jersey! I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. (These all show you where, when and HOW I grew up) I did NOT know, that as a Knick, that Larry Johnson could still dunk like that! I know how dominant he was, before his unfortunate back injury. After that, he really tailed off.
Yes! I'm glad you made one of him for real, he was a favorite growing up. I honestly didn't knew much of his injuries back then, always thought something was up cause he really didn't looked like the same guy in those last seasons. Keep up the good work!
Grandmama was just different..unstoppable down low and a good shooter. Explosive first step and so strong 💪 It’s a damn shame he was injured..he was well on his way to being an all time great.
He was by far underrated. If it wasn't for the back Injury he would have been one of the greatest power forwards to play the game. He was an athletic Charles Barkley.
@@gordonrichardson39Barkley was faster and more explosive in Philly. But it’s wasn’t a huge difference, except speed. Chuck and Karl were freight trains getting up the court. Chuck and LJ both had similar leaping ability. LJ played a bit slower than young Chuck, I’ll admit. I think without injury, the only PFs who would have eclipsed LJ in the 90s was Karl, Chuck and maybe Shawn Kemp.
I lived in NC at the time, those early Hornets teams were fun. Mugsey, LJ, Johnny Newman, Kendal Gill, Mike Gminski, Kurt Rambis, JR Reid, Alonzo Mourning, and 6th man Superstar Dell Curry 😊
Great video! Its good to find a good documentary on LJ. I became a huge fan of his when he was at UNLV. He was a beast and larger than life when he cane to the Hornets. I still believe basketball history would have been rewritten if he didnt injure his back and Zo didnt go to Miami.
Nice video bro, he was my favorite player as a young kid, still Hornets fan since those years. I have so much love for LJ..♥. Your biggets french fan ! 💪🙏
My cousin had a mini locker with the charlotte hornets logo on it and I liked the logo so they became my second team I ever liked after Reggie miller and the pacers. Older sister was a Jordan fan so naturally I liked Reggie miller. Once I became a fan and had my own teams I liked it was Chris Webber and peja and Mike bibby and the kings in the west for me and I stayed with Reggie jermaine o Neal Ron world peace artest, Jamal tinsley and the pacers in the east. Needless to say, I’ll never see a Larry o Brian go to my favourite teams…. Back to the hornets though Larry Johnson Alonzo and my guy mugsy so much fun as a kid. Probably got me more invested then the pacers cause I just liked to watch Reggie bug Mike cause I was an annoying little bro that liked to go against what my sister liked haha
Larry Johnson was something to watch man. The Grandmama commercial was top tier 😂. “There was an old lady that lived in a shoe”. That commercial was dope to me. The 90’s was a special time man.
This channel slaps🔥🔥.....love this concept of a channel because it spotlights the love for the game in players. The late 80's all of the 90's and early to beginning fazes of the 2010's will always be the golden age of this game. Hell the NBA on NBC is an all time forever classic era of presentation for the game with everyone's favorite play by play guy of the time marv Albert🔥🔥....thank you for what your doing, nostalgia slaps💯

I have the same herniated back problem as LJ. It can be incredibly debilitating when it’s not managed properly and flared up. The fact that he played so long with it and relatively productively is incredible. All in all he had a fantastic career.

Larry was a better player before he blew out his back. He still was solid even after the injury. I’ll take LJ any day over Zion. I remember people saying Zion was better than Barkley. That’s the biggest joke ever told. Barkley was a monster
My Big Bro Moe Scurry UNLV is tight with LJ He was unbelievable. His game before the injury was more polished than Zion is at this point in his career.
He was definitely the anti-Kawhi Leonard, he is also the catalyst for someone who turned out to be Zion Williamson. Perhaps he could get into the basketball Hall of Fame one day.
It’s rather insulting that you’d put LJ into the same book as Lie-on Williamson. Even when LJ’s back started to give out on him, he’d STILL run circles around a healthy Zion!
Great video. You should do a video for Derrick Coleman, Michael Ray Richardson. What current players do you think will end up on lists like this in the future?
Actually spent a lot of time in Vegas during that championship run. Lots of family there + many family marriages. Was good time. Bob Lazar during that time.

Great episode… A Rod Strickland episode is much needed!

One of the biggest what ifs and people don’t even know but if u kno u kno
report said that he was offered by the Knicks to retire his jersey number on the rafter, but Johnson turned down the offer because of his back which led to an under-performed stint in NY, he thought his number didn't deserve to be on the rafter.
Damn I’m still upset Charlotte never retired his jersey even after putting them on the map
That's humble right there.
he's the reason those starter jackets sold
He was a also a household name during his Grandmama commercials
One of the biggest NBA Stars in the early 90z
I agree😊
Him and the 90's Cowboys. How fitting
Zo and LJ in the Hornets was my fav team in NBA Jam. On paper they were a good duo. Too bad they didn't play together that long.
So true
Just found this channel today by surfing through old Jamal Mashburn highlights... and here i am 5 hours later 🤣 Great channel bro.
Larry Johnson will always have a legacy as the purple Monstar "Bupkus" allong with his teammate Muggsy Bogues as the red Monstar "Nawt" in Space Jam (1996).

I had a pair in black & a pair in the white..& yes they have never been retro'ed..the Aero jam's have tho( I also had those)
@@BadTV1993 Yes the AeroJams were retroed in 2014 I believe.
My mom knew Larry Johnson and she wasn't an NBA
He definitely was one of the biggest sports stars at his peak
LJ had so much charisma
