Richmond is probably one of the most underrated players in history, definitely from his era though
Facts
Nelson made a huge Idiotic Mistake-He traded Richmond at his Prime to the Kings and Burried him there
If he had not done that U had this 3 Super stars get to the Finals in my opinion.
Richmond a player of 23-34 points per game a great Athlete a hall of fame Player
Chris Mullin and one of the greatest handlers ever Tim Hardway - Would pass the ball and get those three Pointers
That destroyed Golden State . Time was traded to Miami geting them to the Eastern finals.
@@gilihealer9680 true
@@gilihealer9680Mitch did not get buried in Sac Town... He made them a decent team and he was one of the best players in the league while there... definitely top 3 SG... And top 2/3 shooters....
Crazy thing is a lot of teams in the league play this style now, ahead of their time.
Mitch Richmond was such an underrated SG. His jumper was so pure like Ken Griffey Jr's swing. I wouldn't feel too bad for Mitch being traded to Sacramento. His jersey number is retired there.
was a joy watching him growing up and im so glad he made it to the hall of fame! easily one of the dumbest trades of all time. it would be the equivalent of trading klay thompson or curry for like Timofey Mozgov. run tmc had all the skill in the world all the confidence and all the swagger and were a marketing dream and don nelsons like nah we need some random big man no one wants. I know don owns his own weed dispensary now but he must have been puffin pretty fucking heavy to think that was a good trade
Yep, no weakness whatsoever in his game. Could post you up, beat you off the dribble, and knock them down from 28 feet. Elite defender.
Ask the GOAT .. MR. Jordan who was the toughest defender he ever played against... his answer was Mitch Richmond.
@@funkychicken2119 Actually he'll usually answer Joe Dumars to that.
@@lainiwakura4678that's true
I am no bandwagon fan and you know why ,i remember in 1991 when i was in the philippines as an 8 yr old m my dad will wake me up at 3 am just to watch chris mullin plays . Because of the 14 hrs difference it was difficult for me to wake up that early . But i was just a big fan of run tmc that no matter what time it was ,i will not miss any warriors game
They were exciting to watch. Mitch Richmond was the most underrated shooting guard in the league. Behind MJ and Clyde. He was snubbed for many all star appearances,which was the biggest crime of all.
Mullin has always been underrated, mans had shot boy!
Mullin before getting injured in 92 playoffs against Seattle was a top 5 player in the league back then
Victor Arevalo I wouldn’t say he’s underrated at all. After all he’s in the Dream Team, HOF, multiple all stars etc etc. He’s right where he should be. Great player in his prime.
@@YK-fj5bj Jordan, Drexler, Magic, Pippen, Mullin top 5 players in the early 90s.
YK 15 I meant as he doesn’t get enough recognition. I know what he was about, but since there’s been so many greats out there he gets lost between the bunch
Victor Arevalo *under-appreciated ;-)
That was a crazy trade. You had a backcourt already and a small forward you couldn't build around that
Should’ve been a 30 for 30
@Notorious1503 The Fab 5 were only together 2 seasons and didn't win a chip but still legendary so you aint really saying nothing
Notorious1503 what does winning a championship that have to do with anything? ..if the story is interesting who gives a fuck if they won a championship or how long they were together...look for somebody else’s lap to sit on...
OG Sarunas Marciulionis sighting
frisco prez awwww shit zajabys
DICK LONG why
Don Nelson actually had the Milwaukee Bucks in the early to mid 1980's ROLLING. The inverted offense with the "Big men" spreading the floor, giving the wings and guards and wing players space, all purpose forwards that could handle and distribute.... "Nellie" was ALWAYS one of my favorite coaches. He was a great coach.
▪️Those Warriors teams were GREAT, and hella entertaining to watch.
Hell, Paul Westhead was running this offense waaaaay back in the glory days of Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble at Layola Marymount university. .
@@antoniomcmahon3499 Yeah, that was after Don Nelson's Bucks teams. More than just Paul Wessthead's run and gun offense. More so, about the types of players and how he used them. There's even a phrase "Nellie Ball" that is credited to his innovation with the point forward and playing 3 guards, and playing the center on the perimeter... creating mismatches all over the court and creating space. Wessthead's system was basically run and shoot, press 94 feet... Both were high scoring offenses, but completely different systems.
Bucks couldn't get by the Doctor those years.Dr J owned the bucks,moncreif ,Johnson had no smoke for the doc.
This Generation kids don't know nun about Run DMC
It’s *TRICKY!*
Tim Hardaway was the most idolized of the trio because of his "Killer Crossover." Then he said some homophobic things. He's the only one of Run TMC who isn't in the HoF.
Well, he did apologize for it and learn from it
Man I'm still pissed about that
@@bofuthereturn www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/tim_hardaway_vs_chris_mullin.htm Mullin was a little better statistically but Tim changed the game with his ball handling, for sure. But then again Chris had one of the most pure jumpshots in history. I donno, it's a toss-up for me. But Tim doesn't "easily" have the best career of the 3.
Man he was great! Complete small pg plus his handles and crossover is almost second to none
He did say some idiotic stuff. At the same time it’s weird to see middling players like Toni Kukoc and Vlade Divac get in the HoF and not him. The NBA will never put him in now. Too much bad press. Can’t say I blame them.
Another example of why coaches can't be Coach & GM
Donny could do one, but not the other, but wanted that control
Greg Popovic did it.. but there is only one pop
@@jimdcel Red Auerbach?????? 11 titles as coach/gm 16 total as GM.
Amazing era in NBA history late 80`s early 90`s!!!!! 🙂
Tim hardaway was the shit back then, the godfather of crossovers
The killer cross over
lol playing the Nuggets in the 90s was like playing the Rockies ...... time to pad the stats. These dudes are the ones that made me Warriors fan.
Good job for giving all the golden state bandwagons knowledge
About how terrible the GSW were? RunTMC lasted for 2 years. After We believe, they traded J Rich away. Even KD in his 3 years lasted long then these two periods. Nothing really to be proud of if you asked me. This is coming from a Lacob and Guber Warroirs bandwagon fan.
Man they didnt even do shit 😆 nobody gives af about no damn run tmc
@@detroitdrama3 It was a big moment because a team that was a joke and called garbage, actually had 2 great seasons and broke records, that's how loyal or desperate the real warriors fans were.
Go Golden State Warriors.
Was so disappointed when Mitch was traded for Billy Owens.
Billy Owens was NOT THE NEXT MAGIC JOHNSON!!!! Who the hell did the scouting report on that!!
He was good just not Mitch Richmond good
@@masongman9717playing Mario Ellie in the center position with Run TMC and Marciulionis was small ball at another level. Warriors drafted so much garbage for so long.
@@saml2601 Sprewell was drafted the next year, then Webber in 93, then Joe Smith. They were good picks but they didn't work out in Golden State for some reason.
@@Gabriela1Acevedo If mitch was still around we most likely would not have drafted Sprewell. We all know what happen to Webber. Joe Smith over Kevin Garnett was a heart breaker. Joe Smith was a horrible fit in the Warriors. Switched from a run and gun team to a half court team. Ronny Seikaly and Kevin Willis was slow and bad. BJ Armstrong starting over Tim Hardaway was tragic. Listening to this makes me want to choke out a coach!!! LOL
Rick Adelman was a terrible coach
Run TMC was the coolest nickname in sports it had the hip hop element and incorporated the three big stars. It was perfect. People talk about the We believe Warriors, the original Splash Bros era, the KD era, and now the return of the splash bros era/Steph Curry Era, but Run TMC was why I became a Warriors fan. Growing up in the bay area. People where I lived still loved the Lakers because its a Cali team, and my dad and my two older siblings are from Detroit so the Bad Boys were big in my house, and they are definitely my east team. But the Warriors were my guys. I hated when Mitch went to the Kings and Tim Hardaway went to the Heat they were my favorite players I always played as Mitch in video games he had a deadly jump shot
Run TMC
I liked this concept of video
Very well produced
They was fun to watch back then.
If they made it to the Finals, they still would've lost to Jordan
PJ Douglas this would be true lol
Well duh.. Defense wins and u Bulls had at least 2 players who can easily drop 40+ points too
@@Bigedub101 pippen isn't dropping 40 plus lol
@@manman0512 Scottie Pippen has 5 40 Pt games and he was playing with Jordan
It’s a shame Tim Hardaway not a HOFer🤦🏽♂️.. so underrated 💯
He is very underrated but when he made comments about the gay community the league wasn't having it..
@Ken Burke what did you say?
I think they read your comment
Mark Curry was the fourth member of Run TMC
bruh lol
Stop it. 😂
Was building around TMC not an option? They had chemistry, they had unique style to defend and they had the fan base going crazy for them. Smh that was dumb trade.
Owens was supposed to be the next magic.he was solid but star he wasn't.Dumbass trade,back then money didn't flow like it does today,Nelly's worst regret.
They were small market and had no dough.
What makes it even more of a head scratcher was they already had Tyrone Hill (future all star) and just drafted Chris Gatling (future all star) and Victor Alexander (solid player for them). So they already had bigs they could use
@@heathguillory4803 not anymore haha
Mitch Richmond was cold and so underrated he's never talked about these days. It's unfortunate that Chris Webber didn't get along with the coach and Timmy got hurt right when when Webber came in. Add Webber to Run TMC and they might have won a title when Jordan was gone
Man, that was such a fun team to watch, the Bay went crazy. It was sad when they were broken up. I guess that they were too far ahead of their time.
You have double spaces when you started new sentences. Very Cool! Agree with what you said though, lol.
They was tuff fr
Curry and crew honored "Run Tmc" and "We Believe" .
Those jerseys go dumb ass hard...the trade though 🤦♂️
This is when i became a warriors fan....
Mitch Richmond my favorite SG of all-time
4:26 lololol Tim's face
Now look at how warriors adapting and taking us back to their time with steph dray and clay
Mitch is one of the top 5 shooting guards of all time. Dude could score on Anybody
These dudes were so cold in the 90’s. These young thunda cats just don’t know.
Don Nelson messed that thing up because he never allowed his team to grow... Billy Owens was a good/great player but he wasn't enough and that's why they lost in 1992 and couldn't do anything after that, even with Webber - who Nelson messed up again while not keeping Penny Hardaway and Tim Hardaway got hurt in 1993-94.
Man if they stayed together
Fun team to play with in lakers vs Celtics ea sports game back in the day
Don Nelson was the ultimate spaz.
Build a contender
Then be the reason why that contender ultimately fails.
& then Spree came a year later and took the league by storm
I would’ve loved to see them keep this team together. I don’t know if they would’ve ever won a chip together, but they would’ve competed for one with the right pieces. All 3 are hall of famers. Obviously they were great players. Nelly (Don Nelson) even regretted splitting that team up .
In a decade when the Warriors were usually trash like my Clippers. It's surprising Run TMC only played two seasons together. Most kids commenting here don't even know Run DMC.
No shit they don't know them they literally played basketball when those kids you talk about were babies or wasn't even born
Tim's reaction at 4:27 pretty much sums up how stupid that trade was. And for Billy Owens? That guy never worked out
Warriors fans be like:
Oh just another post about Klay, Steph, and Draymond!
RUN KSD
No
One solid big man away from a championship..
That Richmond trade took another turn cuz Dubs got Spree in 92 and C-Webb in 93.... they just had to trade Owens for Seikaly 1 year earlier
Had Oakland Rocking now look at Steph Klay and Dray what a time to be in the Bay Area
lol the original big three or dare I say lil three haha
This is the same thing they did in the 06-07 season when they had Jason Richardson, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson... they did indeed had a deadly chemistry and the way they upset heavily favorite Dallas, that roster was indeed for real. Then in the off season, they trade Richardson to Charlotte, destroying the chemistry and from there they slowly went back to being sorry again. Just imagine if they kept that same roster the following season... they would've went deep into the playoffs.
Who's here after hearing Tim's speech in the basketball HOF?....
What could have been.... 🤔
Small ball before small ball
And the Dubs play that share the ball style to this day all the way to 4 championships and counting.
remember th am in NBA 2k legends teams
Don nelson The dantoni of his era and trading mitch another classic bad coaching choice
@stoic romulan exactly all needing better real coaches to eventually win, all these dude are good for is getting confidence up to score , that's where the coaching ends
nellie played a big role in creating some great warriors teams and then dismantling them shortly afterwards
run tmc ... he traded richmond right when that trio were on the upswing, would they been title contenders, who knows but they were probably going to be very good for the foreseeable future had they been kept intact
then nellie got lucky a few years later when the warriors traded for webber but then after his rookie season when warriors won 50 games webber got traded as he couldn't get along with nellie ... that one hurt as it looked like spree and webber would be the next great guard and big man duo for the next decade in the NBA ... warriors went into a tail spin for the next decade
we believe ... nellie made the same mistake with run tmc trading a guard, this case richardson, for a young big in wright in 2007, and that core was never the same after that first playoff run especially when baron signed with the clippers after the 2007/08 season when he was a free agent
but i guess nellie made up for it and more when he was one of the key individuals in the warriors brass when the team drafted curry in 2009 and most importantly kept him instead of the rumored trade sending curry to the suns for amare which at that time would've given the warriors a "big 3" of ellis, jackson, amare which probably would've been really good for a few seasons but likely never nba title contenders
instead warriors kept curry and well we know the history with that ... 4 NBA titles and curry is a top 10 NBA player of all time
nellie whyyyyyy
Run TMC would thrive in today's rules
I feel bad for you youngsters who never got to witness this.
Why they ever traded Mitch Richmond I'll never be able to figure out I've been trying to figure it out ever since they did it
Warriors fans like “Huh? Wait what? Wheres Steph?”
You make it seem like a 20 year old fan is supposed to know about the Warriors from 1989.

bought lots of warriors gear back in the day because of tmc, was proud to wear it, now draymond boogie and kd makes me ashamed to own any of it

Run TMC vs Splash Brothers
Splash brothers/kd or original with green? .... u better say green lol
Could tmc be the equivalent of the splash bros and Green???
They f'd up. How u break that nucleus smh than again it would become a GS constant until they finally held and gotmit right
What was Nellie thinking?!🤯
This trio was great but the biggest and best thing they accomplished was beating the Spurs back when Larry Brown I think was coaching them I know rod Strickland was playing for the Spurs at the time I remember watching the series Spurs were the second seed and golden state was the seventh and they beat the Spurs but got taken out in five games in the next round by the Lakers might have been six games
BILLY WHO?!? 😳🤯
They had to drop a 162pts on us though? Oakland and Denver Rivalry is strong indeed; just disrespectful! 🤦🏽♂️
Imagine if they kept Sprewell and Webber
Ima kings fan and I wish they didn’t do that trade they would have won a championship if they would have just waited they had Webber mullin Mitch and tim it would have been the run tmc plus w lol
Yeah Run-TMC sounds nice, but what is this documentary for? They scored a lot of points on fast breaks? Well obviously, they were outscored a lot more times than not. This team didn't make any noise in the post season.
Don Nelson & Mike D'Antoni will go down in history as the greatest coaches to never win an NBA championship.

Mitch put Sac on the map im glad he got traded he was the only bright spot in the 90s for us. Mitch was and is Kings basketball i don't care what anybody says.
If mitch didn't get traded he wouldn't be the Mitch Richmond we know now
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dang! Sacramento being catching strays since days.
3
Pure offense, but absolutely no defense
🕉.
Sacramento is just about always rebuilding
Oh Don, you messed up something that could have been special. Billy Owens smh.
Exactly. Tim's expression says it all. You trade away Mitch for Billy Owens. That was a terrible trade.
Why would the coach trade him when it was just getting good. Smh
Warriors fans like "what? Wait a min? Where are the splash bros?"
So basically this is the same as the present day warriors but they were up against much better comp night in and night out.
I can promise you around 2/3 of warriors fans have no idea who these guys where.
Sprewell
Don Nelson destroyed the 90s warriors. Trade Richmond for Bill Owens, traded Webber for Gugliotta. Drafted Joe Smith over KG, drafted Todd Fuller over Kobe, Nash, or Jermaine O’Neal, drafted Adonyl Foyle over TMac.
One of the worst trades in NBA history. I lost all respect for Don Nelson after that.
They had a core they could build around for years.
Team was ok though. If chilcutt played like on tecmo the would have been dynasty. Know what I’m talkin bout like
How come they didn't win one championship with this team? They had the league by surprise
Too many stacked teams in the west during the 90's.... The jazz,spurs,kings,sonics,lakers,rockets,trailblazers and suns all better teams during the playoffs.
Mullin got injured game 3 in first round 1992 playoffs against Seattle. They lost series 3-1 and a main reason Mullin back problems. In 93 all Warriors were injured.
no defence. The 90s was physical and defense was tough. Also nearly every team in the 90s had a big man averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The biggest reason "Michael Jordan"
@@saml2601 the main reason
They might have if they kept this unit together along with adding Chris Webber. Think they drafted him with a pick they traded for Mitch Richmond.
