For those of y'all who don't know. Rod Strickland was the best at spinning the ball off the glass and making layups wit contact in his day exactly like Kyrie does now. Rod Strickland is also Kyrie's godfather. I'll let y'all do the math.
the sorry knicks traded a sophomore rod strickland for a 34yo washed up mo cheeks.. traded a young mark jackson as well just a few years later (also for a poor return).. ewing could have used those guys
That's so cool seeing Delk and Strickland on here. I've always felt Strickland never got his due, one of the most steady point guards in the league for a long time. He was always killing my Sonics when he was in Portland.
Zion Vain Growing up in the Bronx....alotta 21 games made Strick perfect those handles and moves to the basket.Hard to develop jumper in the park.Also went to my H.S ( Truman) where he took us to the State championship in '83!
Rod we love you hear in Chicago. We'll never forget what you did for De Paul. Perhaps, the most underrated Point Guard in the history of the NBA. Also a great teacher of Point Guards under Coach Calipari at Memphis and Kentucky. Stay Smooth HOT ROD!
No wonder Kyrie's handles are so outstanding. God Father Strick was 1 of the best in his day. Folks don't give Rod Strickland his props. He was a Baaaad Man!
I've never played seriously, but I enjoyed it, I'm from the UK I don't know much about basketball but il starting to have an understanding of how it all works, the only thing I cant get my head around is the reach in foul
kisswriters When you're secure within yourself....you have no problem passing the light to the next....Strick knows he made his mark on the league.ALL players who played with or against Strick speak highly of him
patrick y I'm from Chicago, saw Rod grow up at DePaul (with T. Greene, Kevin Edwards, etc.). My entire family, including my now 70-year-old mother, watched his collegiate and pro career. Why am I not surprised to learn his impact on and off the court extends to this next generation of superstars. Love to see him making positive contributions to these young men's lives. God bless, Rod!
kisswriters I'm from the Bronx.Went to the same H.S ( Truman) as Strick.But graduated 2 yrs before he got there.He led them to the NY State title in '83.About 10 yrs ago i met Strick at Gauchos Gym (AAU).I said to him I don't remember you at Truman.He told me he went to Rice H.S ( A basketball powerhouse but closed down a few yrs ago) for 2 yrs, played 1 yr at Truman and then went to Oak Hill.I wish i could've been at Truman when he was there.Ppl told me he put that team on his back.You know how hard it is to win NY State? Special player/person.Bronx Best!!
I feel you. Man, I remember the days when our whole family, moms, pops, younger brother (who played at Creighton) and me (a bit of playground legend myself), would all sit around watching De Paul games. The ones against Notre Dame were really special. Al Maguire making the call, Rod against David Rivers (before the car accident). But again, more than anything, I'm just so happy to see him making a positive impact on the next generation. You can tell Kyrie is cut from a different cloth and learning of his relationship with Rod (and of course his father, Drederick), it's not hard to tell why. Peace from the Chi!!!
kisswriters Good stuff...Got relatives and friends in Chitown( E.87th near Cottage Grove and over by Colfax) spent the summer there when i was 16.Didn't realize how serious gangs were....went to the park with my hat on backwards ( my cousin told me NOT to wear it like that...BX attitude ignored him) as soon as i went into the park this cat stepped to me and said " WHO YOU REPRESENT?" ( never forgot those words) Cousin snatched hat off my head and said he ain't from here...lol.But DePaul was my team ( along w/ Georgetown) back in the day...after Ewing...i think Mark Aguirre was my fave college player...loved watching him finish the break with those big hands.Kenny Patterson ( outta Queens) with the nice handles.Used to come down with the high dribble...to sucker you in to steal it...then would put moves on you.Lotta legends outta DePaul.
I wish Area21 worked out. KG didn’t transfer that well to TV, but Shaq struggled in the beginning, too. Perhaps KG would have figured it out eventually?
They didn't allow over carrying when Strickland played as they do now. So you can get away with much more when dribbling now and that will make it easier to get to the rim. It was harder to play back then.
Rod has the most beautiful behind the back dribble, the ball is alive in his hand, it sounds easy, but you rarely see anyone do that and not have a 0.2 second stop motion and break the rythem, not even Curry do that as fluent as Rod, the only other player I noticed use the move flawlessly is Kyrie. There are a lot of little techniques Rod done to perfection, his game is so elegant
This ain't weird science!! It basketball!!! Knock it off!!! You guys were simply blessed with supreme athleticism......thats all. Shut up and dribble!!

Kyrie had elite training. Theres a reason he has those skills.
What math?
@@anthonychang2298 "add" those things up to come to your conclusion. Lol. Not necessarily math, but you get the gist.

oh word Typical Knicks then eh
This is real. I love it. No script. Authentic. Knowledge. Memories. Basketball.
👌
Good ol Sheed almost got a Technical foul at the end . Hahaha Gotta love em. Born Competitor.

I haven't chosen a new team. I probably won't support any NBA team unless the Sonics come back. I just like good basketball.
Most underrated PG EVER!!!

Zachary Licht Strickland is Kyrie Irving’s God father
Hah! I thought that was Todd Day! He calls him "TD," and Todd Day played in Phoenix also and had a few random big scoring games as a role player.
KG & Sheed = Ratings
Made them jump like Rod Strickland! #shoutout to Raekwon
word new york south bronx right hea
DJTreClub Guaranteed
Wu Tang Gang
Same thing i was thinking, raekwon at the end of triumph.
Love Rod getting some love....He's totally underrated....So much fun watching him when he was with Depaul too...He was a bad man.
Rod Strickland was Kyrie without a jumper....One of the most underrated players during his prime
Bonk Caesar Rod is actually Kyrie's godfather
Rod had a decent midrange jumper
Rod we love you hear in Chicago. We'll never forget what you did for De Paul. Perhaps, the most underrated Point Guard in the history of the NBA. Also a great teacher of Point Guards under Coach Calipari at Memphis and Kentucky. Stay Smooth HOT ROD!

I remember Rod Strickland averaged 20 & 10 for a few years in a row & kept getting snubbed for the Allstar games.
He supposed to go over Gary Payton and Kevin Johnson?
@@DefSquadFan why not? Production is production...forget fan favorites
@@locks4 Allstar games are for fans. If he is deserving he would get All NBA votes.
If you really hoop, you gonna enjoy this segment
Good Man what league you in? If you ain’t getting bread off it hop off the court
Iverson lol what if he play bball for his HS or college..they dont pay "bread"
Good Man I mean, its fun, but a lot of it is really basics
Meh

This dude tapes his hoodie to the back of his head 😹
@Goyim Unite World Wide lol that stubble is grip tape
That’s a Technical on Sheed
my goto move is double dribble, works every time, i literally cannot mess up that move
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Double step back
😂
🤣 🤣
Rod Strickland underrated
rod strickland. baller
Delk was low-key, really nice and of course, we all know about Strickland, best NYC point guard since Tiny Archibald.
kisswriters you forgot about Kenny Anderson and Mark Jackson to name a few
This is the best host I’ve ever seen on TV! And an awesome segment. Thank you for putting this together.
I was a fan of Tony Delk and liked to use him on Coach K Basketball on Sega Genesis when he played for Kentucky.
Anthony Smith I'm 34 lol
Jerry Simon Jr. That game was dope.
Love how Strickland let the light shine on Kyrie (as it's the young man's time right now).

Strickland was the man back in the day
feel good to see real ones on tv
Tony delk, rod Strickland, Kevin garnett & Rasheed Wallace straight legends!!!
i LOVE every one of these guts!! truly the greats right here! I agree that Kyrie reminds me of Rod Strickland in a lot of ways...
Listening to them talk about the game makes it so much more simple.
Why does KG always look like he only buys clothes on wish?
Chill 😂
Love these guys!!
These guys dropping so much knowledge
Sheed is such a kid
Strick was a magician with the ball 🏀 in his hands
Great, great segment
More Rod Strickland please. I find him extremely interesting.
Yes, that jab step to a step back jumper is my go to - or a fade away... my go to moves...
Rod Strickland was a beast in stealth mode
Love this show
Dope segment
Rod & Tony Delk seem like real cool dudes
This was awesome
lol Rod Strickland is a OG, basically just owned the segment. cool guy
Sheed Wallace said he play for Rod Rod Strickland hall of famer in the morning
hahah real cool to see all these guys.
I love this show
Gotta love Sheed 🤣
This is so good
The Knicks curse starts with trading Rod Strickland
WCLSmooth Too bad the game back then isnt like it is now....Strick and Action Jackson in the backcourt together??? In 2017??? Oooooh!!!
OG of basketball 🏀
Rod da man
Does KG not know that Rod is Kyrie's godfather?
Eric Van Leeuwen i was wondering that the whole time
We all know
Strickland still got that bop!
I watched Delk back in his Kentucky days.
They be gettin' real high in Area 21.
Gotta love sheed
As each and every day passes KG reminds me of Flavor Flav
Sheeds go to move was knowing that the ball would not lie.
Ooooh, ball don't lie
Sheed more entertaining than KG
kg corny he needa be removed from this show
It's kgs show fools.
@@cosmiccharlie1056 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but he IS corny
Can someone explain to me the hoodie half off the head behind one ear thing? I know people have their own style but...
Retired R. Wallace even cares when he misses a shot zat doesn't count. #respect #heart #realloveforthegame #balldontlie #alllove
Think my game always improves whenever I see NBA players talk about how they do it
When they gonna have Shawn Kemp on the show!!!
Hoodie KG is unstoppable in the post. Proven fact.
I didn’t have that 😂. Dribble like 7 times! There was no need!
This is really getting scientific strategizing on playing good B. Ball.
I wish Area21 worked out. KG didn’t transfer that well to TV, but Shaq struggled in the beginning, too. Perhaps KG would have figured it out eventually?

SHEED IS THE REAL LEGEND
no diss. but KG gotta let go of them skinny jeans

There are a lot of little techniques Rod done to perfection, his game is so elegant
I remember that 50 from tony delk
Rasheed’s go to move was the technical foul.
Real ballers know about Rod🖤🏀🖤
Rod was nice
Rasheed can’t just hold the basketball like “what do I do with my hands”.
Is Sheed employed by TNT or does he just hang out a lot?
dangelo31stallion Sheed is the uncle that hangs out around the house that stays in my refrigerator and my alcohol stash.
Judging by how disheveled he looks, he probably lives there.
Sheed is the uncle from the Easter Bbq thats been sleeping in yo house and its now August.
misread that as "or does he just hangout in the parking lot" ROFL
@@b4Sed1593 and nobody questions him
Sheed’s jumpshot looking like his days with the Knicks
Go to move reading books 🤔
Then to the start-up 🌚
💸💷💶💵💴💰
Rod Strickland is fine!!!!!
I'm a Lakers fan but I love kg hahah
Kg needs to get into some coaching man.
Big men like dang shuda worked on my shooting long orange
One of the most underrated guys of all time Rod Strickland man he was mean
Rod Strickland hall of famer in the mmorning
We have to thank Rod for Kyrie
My go to move is dribbling and then trying to do a crossover. Works hardly ever
27 shots and NO 3s? nice
Is this show still on??
For a guy who didn't have a jumper. Rod Strickland always managed to get open.
1 or 2 dribble Pull-up jumper near the foul line. Going left or right.
KG stylist hard
He's got my absolute favorite J's on, too....
Terry Hesticles what J’s are those??
@@itzsanchez93 concords
This ain't weird science!! It basketball!!! Knock it off!!! You guys were simply blessed with supreme athleticism......thats all. Shut up and dribble!!
I wonder why they don’t actually take a shot when showing stuff off, probably scared to miss just like sheed at the end 😂
I think the oooof.... Is like how Bruce Lee makes a noise when he does his thing
Strickland most underrated pg in his era ....
Tony Delk is 6'2 with a 7'2 wingspan.
KG should've gave Rasheed a Tech for missing that last shot and cursing.
Kg make hoodies a thing nowadays
the old Michael Jordan two hand switch layup
I don’t care what anybody said any show with Rashida Wallace is It’s a good show
