Depends which era while their are a number of players from the 80's and 90's that would dominate if they played today but many would struggle however a lot of NBA superstars of today would be out the league if they had to play back in the 80's or 90's
Great basketball player. I had to leave that Alcohol alone on 8/18/13. Initially it was tough to abstain. I'm so grateful I didnt injure anyone. I had 2 car accidents and I still say prayers of gratitude that no one was hurt.
So underrated. Learned 3 things with this video: that Mookie wasn't a nickname; that he actually dunked in game; his later life issues. Had no idea about those and I hope that he's ok. Mookie was a joy to watch with Augmon, Steve Smith, Willis and Dominique..
Mookie was fine player. He, like many other players from the past do get forgotten, unfortunately. He’s like the perfect 1 and 3rd go-to option for teams that need back court defense and who can occasionally create their own offense. He probably doesn’t ever reach All-NBA, given the competition at PG. At the time, you had Stockton, Payton, Price, KJ, Strickland, Van Exel, Porter, and two Hardaways. You also have had up and coming PGs, like Kidd, Nash, and Cassell. Definitely is the class of above average and occasional all-star. The 96-97 Hawks team was pretty good.
If somehow Stockton could have taught him how to have a better FG percentage . . . . then he would have had some legendary regular season production. I mean that and turnovers was his only weakness. (!) FG percentage i believe is very imporant. Stockton usually led all gaurds in that and usually the Jazz led the league in it.
Glad to see you doing content that hasn't really been done before. You're being a real Trailblazer for something that we at sports fans can really appreciate!
Damn, didnt know he caused a fatality dui. He was a very good NBA player. Borderline allstar player for several years with the Hawks. He pushed Kenny Anderson for playing time early in his career in New Jersey as well.
Blaylock was a small guy but was quick with great hands and could pick anybody's pocket. Led the NBA in steals twice. Offensively, he was inefficient and took bad shots at times. He was a guy who struggled to know when to pass or shoot.
thats what i said too yea. If somehow Stockton (who often led the league in FG percentage for gaurds) could have taught him how to get that effeciency better. . . yikes . . i mean that and turnovers a bit was like his only weakness really. FG percentage is big with me personally though in basketball. Jazz usually led the league in it. Its the style i believe is best.
You should do one on Harold Miner !!!! Luv the channel btw especially bringing light to the old school ball players like Bernard King or Artis A train Gilmore.
Steals don't equal good defense, but according to the defensive win share stat, Mookie was top 10 in the NBA 4 times during the 90s. And we all know there was a lot of competition in that category/decade.
at 29:57 up to 29:58 i'll say the hawks sixers warriors and celtics have won a CERTAIN number of titles and these individual stats if you ask me go in this EXACT order the #1 TIED rebounding from bill russell and wilt chamberlain #2 TIED shotblocking from bill russell and scoring from wilt chamberlain #3 shotblocking from wilt chamberlain #4 scoring from larry bird #5 rebounding from bob pettit #6 passing from bob cousy #7 passing from john havlicek #8 passing from hal greer #9 scoring from billy cunningham and #10 rebounding from nate thurmond
@@QueensNewYorkguy He's rarely talked about as a football player. A lot of us know him as an analyst on ESPN and FOX. He didn't reach his potential as the number one pick, but he had a good career, even though it wasn't hof worthy
@@4392amtrak I feel ya fam! Guess you’re a fan of his! Didn’t mean to rain on your parade!! There’s plenty of videos covering Keyshawn tho if you search it
You reaching a level that hasn't been tapped into in ages. You are archeologists.
The original glove!!!
I don't care what anyone says, the 80s & 90s NBA Players would smoke the current era of NBA cats today.
Facts
I believe you too. Those 80s and 90s guys would make today players cry and beg the refs to give them techs.

😂 sure they would get mad and fight them
i wont forget blaylock. that guy was lockdown, he looked like a small MJ in a hawks jersey and had 90% of MJs defense.
Great basketball player.

My idol when I was in high school ….. loved him in college…one of my favorite players of all time in college
One of my favorite all time Hawks.
Those Hawks teams with Mookie & Smitty with Mutombo were pretty good
Don't forget Augmon!
@insuchaway oh yeah definitely Stacey Augmon
Very sad story well told.
I remember back in the days he was known for his handles. The ball and the film dont lie

I think he's roughly Chauncey Billups level. Good , but no HOFer. How Billups got in, I don't know.
Mookie, along with guys like Ceballos and Mashburn, was one of those guys that I remember fondly having collectible cards of.
Glad to see you doing content that hasn't really been done before. You're being a real Trailblazer for something that we at sports fans can really appreciate!
His stats remind me of Jevon Carter in college. I remember him being one of the faster players on NBA '98 for 64, lol
Pearl Jam’s original namesake!
Facts!! Love that their first album title was inspired by the number he wore
@@SamsterTH yet another reason they’re my fav band ❤️
@@brandenbyrd5239 They're easily one of my favourite bands too. Music still holds up incredibly well today 🤙🏼
@@SamsterTHreally?
Fun fact: Dennis Rodman was a fan of Pearl Jam
one of my fav player's in the 90s. always liked his jump shot form
Baby jordan looks wise
Right 👍 On Mookie!
his play reminds me of jrue holiday
Bimbo Coles was just as underrated & arguably more under the radar than Mookie. I hope he gets his own video at some point.
The Hawks trading Dominique while they had the #1 seed before the trade deadline made me hate that organization for a long time.
Damn, didnt know he caused a fatality dui. He was a very good NBA player. Borderline allstar player for several years with the Hawks. He pushed Kenny Anderson for playing time early in his career in New Jersey as well.
I really enjoy your content. I would love to see a feature on Sedalle Threatt, a great player from the 90's.
He was so fast in assists fast player i miss hawks 90s
I never realized this til now but my game is almost identical to Mooks….
Great Video as always brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Yeah but, who gives a care!? Lol u acting like we know u or something!!!?... 🤔😕😵
Mookie would pick guys up 94 feet full court
No he wouldnt
@@JohnAdam-fx4ng tf? bruh yes he did. Steve Smith who played with him even said this 😂

Great vid as always.
Do one on Richard Dumas ... sad story but what potential
I cant believe that Pearl Jam tidbit...
Ah yes, my favorite basketball player, pearl jam
How can you just name your band after an actual person? Lmao like Mookie could have sued them if they got big enough.
Mookie was nice in the 90’s
Are you EVER going to talk about Scott skiles
You should do one on Harold Miner !!!! Luv the channel btw especially bringing light to the old school ball players like Bernard King or Artis A train Gilmore.
Rondo plays like him
Exactly
2nd or 3rd best PG defender in the 1990's behind Payton and Stockton
Nate McMillan
@@davidbyron6981 Bogues too
Thank you 😊
Football Profile On Joe Horn
Oh yeah what happened to him? He used to Buss my ass in Madden against my friends 😂
Marve Albert used to push Mookie hard on TV 📺 in the late 80s and early 90s 😂 and KiKi Vandeweigh so i knew they had to be good players!
Yoi i love this channel u doing gods work with these vids
Man Hawks had some cool ass jerseys back in the 90's
Classic mookie in streetball was super underrated
He had always favored Michael Jordan to me😂
When I was a child I’d get he and MJ mixed up
You should talk about Reggie Thues
Steals don't equal good defense, but according to the defensive win share stat, Mookie was top 10 in the NBA 4 times during the 90s. And we all know there was a lot of competition in that category/decade.
Brian Grant
Mini Jordan 😂
I was just about to say. I used to call him mini Mike. It's crazy how much he looked like MJ after he shaved his head.
@@Davivd2 Damm...I never realized how much he resembled MJ in his early years.
The Jordan lookalike
Wow I never knew he was involved in drunk driving I remember him playing on the hawks in the 90s
To my immature basketball mind at the time I liked Ramuel Robinson way better. Ramuel could power dunk over centers.
The Nets could’ve built a Championship team with Blaylock still there smh that’s why we never took them serious in New York back then
Mahmamama mookie lol
Steve Smith, Stacey Augmon and Mookie.....
He could had been one of the best PG ever but he had shit in his head
at 29:57 up to 29:58 i'll say the hawks sixers warriors and celtics have won a CERTAIN number of titles and these individual stats if you ask me go in this EXACT order the #1 TIED rebounding from bill russell and wilt chamberlain #2 TIED shotblocking from bill russell and scoring from wilt chamberlain #3 shotblocking from wilt chamberlain #4 scoring from larry bird #5 rebounding from bob pettit #6 passing from bob cousy #7 passing from john havlicek #8 passing from hal greer #9 scoring from billy cunningham and #10 rebounding from nate thurmond

The forgotten thing bugs me. He isn’t forgotten.
Back when dudes had a full head of hair but still went with cessation against the grain just cause😂
Can't believe Atl was able to trade old azz Willis for Steve Smith
36 -16 and trade your Best player this sounds like Sabotage I’m sorry players deserve to ride that out.
the most forgotten guy that was a near ringer for michael jordan LoLz
You mean Pearl Jam, right?
Mofo look exactly like no hair Jordan!!
this bum sucked as a warrior. not a leader.
That bum was too busy smoking weed with the ball boys and drinking after games. He got away with murder!
He averaged as much steals per game as MJ, crazy
😀 and did all drunk
Mookie was dope. I remember watching him all the times he was on tnt games. Before tnt got bigger nba network contracts
LATE! But had to come and say that this man was really a problem on the court, I loved those Hawks teams in the late 90's
