I remember I was like 15 or 16 yrs old and I was watching Sad warm up at Hank Gathers center in North Philly, he made like 15 shots straight,my eyes were glued on him,I didn't even blink.
Growing up as a kid watching him at 16th st in like 96 97... it was like watching Mike Jordan live. You knew u were gonna get a show, knew he was gonna dominate & knew you would probably see something u never saw.. He was like Magic & Mike combined it was crazy
Sad averaged whatever he wanted Which is crazy in a summer league with grown men and collage players and other inner city high school players but sad played in all Mike shit most the time rocked a baldy like Mike and bust everybody ass that was good in the city...AO from and 1 was his starting point GOD the other 3 was no Pooh butts either but SAD was Mike he played on that type tier like how kiss said how my nigga up north better than Jordan but ain't get that break 💔 they hired a DJ that made a song like uncle Luke 😭 called toss it up that was sad eye song....the DJ was called DJ Jake the stripper 😭😭 that shit was NBA worthy
It’s ‘crazy’ that I ‘heard SO MUCH ABOUT HIM’ but never saw him although his son Bryant Jr is one of my son’s best friend & my play son. Anyway, he was ‘GR8 on the court & made ‘VERY RESPECTFUL YOUNG MAN!...
That is hard to say. My uncle is deep in the basketball world, and I have got to see some incredible talents make it to the NBA and not really show up. Virtually everybody in the NBA was a beast before they got there.
This dude nice as 💩.....he def was the Jordan of Philly 💯....wish i could played with or against this dude in my prime...we bout same size to...be a great honor win or lose...much respect ✊....he tuff 💪
Sadeyes, was a playground legend, this is Wilt Chamberlain city, but Galen 'Shake & Bake' Baker was the greatest playground legend in Philadelphia, Pa.
Some cats got all the talent in the world, but no discipline, or no patience for the 'game' of pro sports. I know some dudes who were ridiculously talented, but they were lazy as fuck. What good is talent if you have no drive? Nobody saying you have to live in the gym like Kobe, but ... come on.
MoneyOverFame you must be on some sort of narcotic you could not have seen this guy play. Shaquille O'Neal even knew this much. No one could understand why he would not go to the NBA he would have clearly been a Hall of Fame player in terms of offense.

I remember reading about him in SLAM back in the day. Some crazy stories about him.
Dee Wax Like what?
To see him was like seeing Mike play...he made the shit look to easy like Kevin Durant on steroids no 🧢

Used to play with him and Mo Cheeks at the gym at the Bellevue Hotel on Broad St.
If Mitch Ritchmond and Glenn Robinson fused like Gotenks this the results 🔥 I watch this vid a lot and the crazy part isn’t even his prime either
No you deffinetely right 👍 him on toss it up 😩was a different animal
Not even prime vids I use to say if mike and glen Robinson

Yoooo Sad is still a beast out there!!!!
Saw him at Simon’s in the mid 90’s with Hot Rod! The good old days
It’s ‘crazy’ that I ‘heard SO MUCH ABOUT HIM’ but never saw him although his son Bryant Jr is one of my son’s best friend & my play son. Anyway, he was ‘GR8 on the court & made ‘VERY RESPECTFUL YOUNG MAN!...
You know your great player when they come from all over the city to see play down the yard for those of U who now where that is
Nah where is the yard🤣

OmG I was so happy to be a bad ass kid running around the yard
Sad Eye Watson was the GOAT in Philly playground Basketball
2k18 brought me here

Shep played in the corduroys though..
Respect That Man Game 30th st 4 life
Glad to see my cuz still getn it in......still better than half of some of these pro ball players....
Steffon Coles is there any other footage that exist of him? He would have been a monster in the NBA.
That is hard to say. My uncle is deep in the basketball world, and I have got to see some incredible talents make it to the NBA and not really show up. Virtually everybody in the NBA was a beast before they got there.
That's what's up!
And this isn’t even sad in his prime. Imagine what he was in his younger days.
This dude nice as 💩.....he def was the Jordan of Philly 💯....wish i could played with or against this dude in my prime...we bout same size to...be a great honor win or lose...much respect ✊....he tuff 💪
AIR FURLY THEBABY JORDAN # 23 THE BEST
Toss it up
Legend!
He's a bad boy but don't forget about Rico Washington
sfreely not close
Nobody could stop Rico Washington and he did it on the playground and College.
Salute
At the time he reminded me of Mike but Years later he remind me of Mike in a bigger Kevin Durant body 😩 a whole different beast of a player
What HS and years was he coming up in Philly? Same time as Pooh Richardson and the L-Train?
Sadeyes was two years behind Pooh Richardson.
Yea and cuttino mobley they wasn't fucking with sad 😩
@@michaelcampbell5817 they played on Susquehanna 🤫
True legend
Sadeyes, was a playground legend, this is Wilt Chamberlain city, but Galen 'Shake & Bake' Baker was the greatest playground legend in Philadelphia, Pa.
AIR FURLY THE BEST
Is this the only footage that exists of him?
Sad eye is nice
A Walking Bucket
Growing up in strawberry mansion, I use to hear about “Sad eye”, Buzz, and Wardell. Playground legends
Buzzy was nice!
Air furly the best
I wonder how he was as a teammate
Whoever made this video never seen Galen Baker or Ray Thompson play. Also Lewis Black Moses Lloyd. Galen Baker gave NBA and NYC players the blues.
Yoooooo. Why y’all got this video of this old ass man on here. 😂😂😂
He’s a Philly streetball legend he was playing younger as well so have a seat fuck face
How tall is he?
6 foot 5
Damion Williams 6 5
6.5
He was a BUCKET!
Yo I don't get how this cat could be this good and not try to play some pro ball.
Quadiyr Wilson I know. NBA players wondered the same.
The pros try to give him a bullshit contract and he told them he make that in the streets

Sad my man but I had Jim Luckey WOW
franklin armstrong ????
Who the hell is that?🤔😶
Mr watson
where do you predict he would have been in terms of all-time great if he would have made it to the NBA
S. M.A. Probably not a all time great. Probably a formidable bench player. Still a very good ball player though.
MoneyOverFame you must be on some sort of narcotic you could not have seen this guy play. Shaquille O'Neal even knew this much. No one could understand why he would not go to the NBA he would have clearly been a Hall of Fame player in terms of offense.
