Ben Wallace was a beast defensively, not even a dirty player, just physically built. He won 4 Defensive Player of the Year awards which is tied for 1st with Mutombo. But there were more players who valued defense back then as a whole. Some do now, but the game has changed lol.
The clip of Tyler Hansbrough getting fouled hard by Ron Artest from behind. Tyler gets upset and turns around to fight whoever fouled him. He turns around and sees Artest standing there and instantly Tyler stands down cause he didn't want no smoke from Metta, classic
-Sprewell got arrested for disorderly conduct, suspended license, etc.... Over the years he saw his fair share of jail cells -Yea, it was Jayson Williams who "accidentally" shot a limo driver.
i'll challenge anyone to find an official record of any James Johnson MMA or kickboxing fight. every sanctioned fight is recorded somewhere, i can even find records of random kids i went to high school with that fought in a couple of small time local fights, but there's absolutely nothing on James Johnson. i don't doubt that he's trained and can fight, but the record that always gets thrown around has 0 traceable evidence behind it.
Karl Malone also got a 13 year old pregnant when he was 20 and then refused to pay 500 dollars a month in child support because it was excessive so there’s that too.
--7:44 What he didn't say is that Oakley is from Cleveland. Ben Wallace didn't have the grades, so Oak got him into Cuyahoga Community College, in Cleveland, to get his grades up and play JUCO ball, then he got into Virginia Union College.... -Also, Notice all of these guys except on was from the golden era of basketball, the 90s and early 2000's. These softies today couldn't handle it...
Latrell Sprewell turned down a guaranteed $21 Million for 3 years this was in 2004. That was more than a fair offer. Sprewell rejected the contract saying "I gotta feed my kids" No team wanted him not even at the veteran minimum salary. He never played another game in the NBA.
James Johnson is still in the league and at 6’7” is an easy contender against Jon Jones, as long as the ref stops Jones from poking his opponent in the eyes.
@@okay1775 He could put up a decent fight. Nobody just gets to fight the best in the world, James Johnson has the reach and the striking to keep Jon Jones from poking him in the eyes, like James said, all he needs to do is train on the ground and it would be a good fight. Easy contender meaning he’s a good matchup against Jones.
And the guy from New Jersey Nets who shot his employer is Jason Williams. Surpised they didn't put Gilbert Arenas and the guy who went to jail for bringing guns to the Wizards locker room threatening each other.
Adults acting like children. So many professional athletes would be in jail/prison if not for their athletic gifts. Draymond Green is an example of an NBA player today who would be in jail but for the fact that you can get away with things like assault if you're an athlete.

Ron a menace to society 😂
Jayson Williams accidently shot his driver with shotgun. It was a crazy story because he was known as a happy go lucky gentle giant.
Me and my dad were talking about him a few weeks ago. Look into his life, dude has so much tragedy surrounding him and his family

@8:35 there’s a reason they made a game called “ Bill Lambiers combat basketball “ lmao!
Leroy Sprewell?! 😂
I'm using that name for video game character 😅
LeROOOOOOOOYYYY Sprewell!!
Check out the video Wilt Chamberlain the Most Athletic Giant Ever
Spreewell had spinning rims named after him too

By that standard, MMA fighter James Johnson is still playing.
as a Knicks fan; Oakley wasn't a tough guy, he was OUR tough guy. Still one of my all time favorite Knicks

I would say Dramon Green from the warriors is pretty brutal at times. He's got a thing for kicking people in the junk alot and throwing elbows
Ron Artest sure as hell didn't want the Ben Wallace smoke at the malice at the palace. Sort of says it all.
Yes

The gun thing was Gilbert Arenas.
Sprewell also had the spinning rims they call "Sprewells"
2:03 Ngannou and Tom Aspinall can. I mean who knows.
Hey can you guys do mlb teams history names please thank you

Wdym easy contender?

13:55 Daz is correct, Jayson Williams did shoot someone with a shotgun (not to be confused with the great passer Jason Williams lol).
Or Jason Williams the great motorcycle rider
Thank you. I was wondering which Jason Williams it was.
they forgot Nikola Pekovic.
The Biggest Gangster In NBA History…
And the guy from New Jersey Nets who shot his employer is Jason Williams. Surpised they didn't put Gilbert Arenas and the guy who went to jail for bringing guns to the Wizards locker room threatening each other.
Haha what are you on about?! Because Gilbert Arenas was never a scary player lol
@@tallytalbot3430 Did you even watch the video? These people I swear. 🤣
You left out Maurice Lucas, (Little) Calvin Murphy. and Bob Lanier.
These creators don't know about the 1980s and 1970s.
@@areguapiri Just as bad as the majority of NFL videos. About the only guys that go way back are the ones that cover hockey.
Barkley was MAYYYBEEE 6'5" tops.
Jayson Williams killed his limo driver
His brother shot him and stole his boat .
Richard Jefferson funny moments
These videos must think history started in the late 80s, early 90s. Maurice Lucas would have killed these guys.
