I went to college with his daughter. He definitely loved her. He was all she talked about. Seemed like great Dad and guy. We all have demons, he was a fighter. His wife just recently passed. Prayers to his daughter and family🙏🏾
Anyone who hasn't should take a look at any footage they can find of the Providence team with Marvin Barnes, Ernie D. and Stacom. Amazing talent, amazing cohesiveness, just one of the all time great college teams.
Played against him in high school; his team, Cental High won 100 games in a row. He was on the 69/70 championship team. Dunking was not allowed in those days; but he could get above that rim. He was very intimidating. His teammates were tough, too. You did not want to mess around with any of them.
Some hilarious and interesting Barnes stories are in the excellent book "Loose Balls" by Terry Pluto. The book is an expose on the old American Basketball Assoc.
In today's video, we take a look at Bad News Marvin Barnes. If there's another player that you would like to be spotlighted in a future video, then please don't hesitate to tell me :) Also, I want to give a huge shout-out to Lamarmatic, the channel that i got a lot of this footage from. You are amazing. - Pocky -
Arrives to game late in mink coat. Gets benched for a whole quarter by the livid coach. Team gets smacked. Coach brings Bad News Barnes on. Barnes ends up with 40 something points and a bunch of rebounds over 10. All you need to know about Bad News Barnes.
I admit I haven't watched the video yet. But being a Pistons fan and a Bad News Barnes fan are not inclusive. Barnes was the Reggie Harding of the 1970s. Whatta waste of talent......

If he had been able to cope,with fame and simply life,he would still be in the conversation about 1970s basketball greats.

He said " I aint want the name BAD NEWS..but it kind of just stuck!" 😂😂.....cold on that court!! Unstoppable
at :58 the followup dunk after a missed jumper is very much like the one Nique did against the Celts in the 1988 playoffs!

I think that's Ernie digregorio dribbling all crazy in the opening sequence..he had handles for days..

Arrived to game late eating a Cheeseburger, I heard.
Knuckleheads brought me here 😂😂
'NEWS' is news.
I love your work, but I really need to see a classical Tailback again I haven't seen one in month
I'm saving those for the fall season. I'm going all-in on basketball at the moment.
PockyCandy ohhh
Dude was a lean 6'8" but could get you 15 rebounds while yawning. A power forward with no power.
Marvin was a legit 6’10-6’11
@@alexrichrevue5731 No way. Marvin was 6'9" tops. I'm thinking 6'8"...about the same height as Luke though Luke had 20lbs on him.
I’m related to him
Barnes served up the Doctor!!!
Lo ricordo a trieste.fortissimo quando voleva giocare,per il resto un pazzo.
#12 in the first clip is Pistol Pete right?
it's ernie digregorio, amazing pg and marvin's teammate at providence
Sex abuse amongst youth athletes aren’t talk about.

And no highlights from his time with the Pistons! We passed up on Moses Malone to take Barnes, and no highlights? C'mon!
What a waste. :-(
