Orlando was an athletic BEAST. And he had plenty of skill to go along with it! Also the 1st to do a between-the-legs in a NBA dunk contest (back in the 80’s). RIP
I grew up watching the Hawks with Nique. Woolridge would routinely throw one down where I'd say to myself "Damn Nique, he just made you look bad!" Great player and a great guy.
Not many guys in NBA history are or were power dunkers. Woolridge was one . Look at how explosive he is on those dunks We were blessed to have him on the Lakers for a few years on the 80s.thosr were must see tv
@@thetruth4808 what? 😂 when jordan was gone in 94&95 Scottie never even came close to 30😂 in 99 he didn’t come close or 2000 and on.. u just don’t know what u r talking about . He avg 22 &21 with jordan gone wich wasn’t much different from 92 he avg 21 a game in 97 he avg 20 a game. If u avg all the seasons without jordan he avg less points than the seasons he played with jordan😂 I mean jordan wasn’t there in 94 n was gone n he only avg 19 points a game in the playoffs. Jordan was gone almost the entire 95 seasons until the very last 17 games n Scottie’s scoring stayed the same he was avg 21 b4 Jordan’s return n finished avg 21 for the season in 95. His scoring went from 19 a game in 98 with jordan.. n jordan retired and the next season Scottie only avg 14 a game without jordan 😂 your argument is just easy to literally prove wrong. Anyone who watched Scottie knows he wasn’t that kind of a scorer.
It doesnt change the fact that lebron have wade bosh allen irving and love but lost 6 finals games....jordan only had pippen and he went perfect in finals...mj have failures too but lebron failure was too much compare to mj
@@shiningking He didn’t just have Pippen 🤣 So I guess all nba 75th player in Dennis Rodman was a bum, guess arguably the goat coach in Phil Jackson didn’t mean shit… guess adding a 18-20 PPG with good defense in Ron Harper was just a wash, how about a talent like Tony Kukoc who would be a starter on other teams ? is A double double type player in Horace Grant who he played with before they got Rodman such a bum ??? 🤣🤣 I swear ya act like Jordan played with Pippen and bunch of C- level players… hilarious… Bulls literally had that plus decent role players and Bulls not a super team yeah ok.. no team they played in the 90’s had all that talent no wonder they won 72 games 🤣🤣
@@jazzroyale7260 no teams in the 90s have all that talent??? Hahaha ignorant...rodman 0 points per game and coach phil became great because he played with the goat and mamba and shaq...lebron played with 7 allstars in his career and manage to lost 6 and jordan only have one , pippen and he manage to won 6 finals games without a lost...so comparing harper to wade and bosh or ray allen or irving or love or davis or westbrook is nonsense...most of those guys was in the 75th greatest players haha stop the excuses because a team of shaq, hardaway and grant was way greater than team of oladipo in pacers and lowry in raptors that lebron went againt in weak eastern conference..now lebron will miss playoffs 4 times in his career..whats worst he missed playoffs with a superteam...mj will never miss playoffs if he has superteam..ahmmm of course mj doesnt have a superteam..he just built a great team by his leadership...stop defending lebron because he was been exposed from time to time ...mj the goat
@@shiningking bro stop comparing jus enjoy when u compare u show ur ignorance by belittling great players jus to elevate a guy that doesn’t need elevation his Michael jordan
Hmm.....Michael Jordan said that among all the teams he played on with the Bulls, his team the first couple years he was in the League was the most talented, but they were a bunch of knuckleheads. I wonder who the Chief Knucklehead was....who never got the most out of his talent.
Man u must be drunk or high...Big O was ferocious every night...His best season in the NBA he averaged 25 & 7...In that era???...U know how hard that was???...A relentless workhorse on every team he was on...He was cut like a bag of dope & feared noone...The NBA is entertainment & Big O entertained me everytime he got on the court...Highlights don't lie!!!!!...Haters do!!!...Rest in Paradise Big O.. 🤛 🙏 💜

For real I thought it was Isiah Riders the 1st one to do it whoa respect
Bro mad underrated. LEGEND
My favorite player ever. Only D he had was in his name but he was easily one of the most exciting players of the 80s and early 90s.
hahahaha love it
John Salley: There is a D in Woolridge, but it's silent.
I grew up watching the Hawks with Nique. Woolridge would routinely throw one down where I'd say to myself "Damn Nique, he just made you look bad!" Great player and a great guy.
Yeah he was definitely a poor defensive player but damn he was a monster dunker n could score
Not many guys in NBA history are or were power dunkers. Woolridge was one . Look at how explosive he is on those dunks
We were blessed to have him on the Lakers for a few years on the 80s.thosr were must see tv
LOVED watching him play. He wasn't flashy or stylish, but would power dunk on ANYONE (which is how I played back in the day).
How tall are you sir?
@@user-gi7ec6ss7t 6'2"
Did not know he had passed away. He was one of my favorite showtime lakers. RIP
He liked to yell before he jumped to dunk 😂 loved OO double aught
Orlando Woolridge, Quintin Dailey and Darryl Dawkins are all deceased.
RIP. Underrated player,just played on some bad teams,Lakers being exception.He actually played with Jordan,Gervin in 86
May He R.I.P
Before MJ had Pippen, he had Woolridge.
And Quentin Dailey…
But let these haters tell you he had scrubs 🤣
@@jazzroyale7260 they were great but they loved coke too much
@@jazzroyale7260Dailey and Woolridge got you buckets and little else. Ball movement or D, nope.
That's my 1st time to see him I can see he had some good skills respect
Cool video
My man was a monster Jordan had nobody right?
All he could do was dunk. Played no defense. And he had an addiction.
@@bigtrevdogglbc that's why he didn't stay with one teai
Dude woolridge was a awful defender 😂

Dude was a rim-shaker!
Louisiana 🐐
Saw "O" play live a couple of times. Got into it with ML Carr of Celtics in 1982 after a hard foul.
He and MJ were Chicago's Dr. J and Chocolate Thunder
Should’ve been an All Star selection.
No he wasn’t that level of a player
@@TheSands83Right, highlight film guy.
Could have been a Hall of Famer if he would have kept his nose clean. So much super talent and natural ability. R.I.P.
Love that dunk on Moses Malone at 1:57. Moses was just there doing nothing.
And people say jordan had no good teammates in his early years
Every time Jordan missed and he missed a lot, Woolridge was right there to put it back up..

Mansfield Louisiana great
Seems maybe he only puts up numbers on a bad team but I honestly don't know too much about this player and his career
but they said he had no help
Is that a double dribble @ 1:17?
No that's call a power dribble rarely seen today 🤔🤔😄
cool highlights, music ruined it.

How old are u
He pulled up solid scoring numbers, not much else. He is not in the same stratosphere as Pippin or even close. Except athletic and dunking ability.
