Zion was the first name that came to mind. The man was doin mid game 360s as a Duke fan i watched every single game that season and it was because of him.
I witnessed Chris Jackson, in his ROOKIE SEASON, without Shaq and Stanley Roberts, and He was, THE MOST EXCITING COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER! No Cap.
Great to see Kenny Anderson getting his love from college. Picked behind only Larry Johnson in the 1991 draft, he didn’t quite turn out into a star in the pros. But in college playing for Georgia Tech, he was an absolute stud. I think Jordan could’ve been more exciting in college had he never played for Dean Smith. I read Dean Smith was the only person MJ ever feared playing basketball. But then again, Jordan would’ve never been a collegiate champion, disciplined, and fundamentally sound without Dean. I think Dean Smith to Michael Jordan was like Cus D’Amato was to Mike Tyson. These two Mikes were fearless during the 80s and 90s except to their Mr. Miyagis.
my personal list as someone who watched primarily late 2000s to mid 2010s 1.acie law, clutch killer with old mans game and sweet lefty jumper. 2. zion, best college player ive ever seen. 3. steph, best tourney run ive ever seen. 4. jeff teague, small explosive guard who i tried to emulate growing up even as far as wearing tshirt under jersey. 5. blake hoffarber, was a gopher fan. pure lefty sniper and way ahead of his time. hit two of most insane shots. won an espy in high school
@@bakedape5867yes but it’s most exciting, not most accomplished or greatest. In terms of exciting, Zion is up there with anyone who ever played college ball
It’s clearly Larry bird. He took a very bad team to the finals. The entire team returned the next year, they finished below .500. Espn hates white plle. Sas is a pansy
DWAYNE "PEARL" WASHINGTON WAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN COLLEGE!!!!!!!🏀🏀🏀💯💯💯 JJ REDICK IS A BASKETBALL DUDE THAT ACT LIKE BASKETBALL JUST STARTED 20 YEARS AGO!!!!!
My top 5….. I’m 37 yrs old for the context….. 1.) Michael Jordan 2.) Zion Williamson 3.) Kevin Pittsnogle 4.) Khalid El-Amin 5)Steph Curry …. Honerable Mention Tyler Hansborough 🔥🔥🔥
@@Daffy_C Did you watch him?😂 he led the country in scoring and was 1 play away from taking an unheard of team to the Final Four. And this was when the good college teams had 4 year players and were much better than they are now
I agree with Shay Shay on this one. Steph Curry was getting the Caitlin Clark treatment in the NCAA tournament. Also, no one had ever heard of Davidson until Steph Curry played for them.
The most exciting college basketball player was Bill Russell. He led USF to NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956, including a string of 55 consecutive victories, and a 26-point, 27-rebound, 20-block performance in one game.
i started watching i 1986, so... before my time: 1. David Thompson (NCSU), Magic Johnson (MSU), Wilt Chamberlin (KU), Patrick Ewing (G'TOWN), Larry Bird (ISU) hon. Jordan, Jabar, Walton, Pistol Pete after my time: 1. Vince Carter (UNC), Chris Webber (Mich.), Steph Curry (Davidson), Michael Beasley (KSU), Zion Williamson (Duke) hon. too many to name but Stacey Augmon at unlv was a personal fave, Len Bias at Maryland sr year was electric, Mahmood Abul Raouf at LSU was something else...
Larry Johnson of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels from the early 90’s? Maybe not top 5, but an honorable mention … some of the most exciting basketball I’ve watched both collegiate or professional level 🏀
The one year of Zion was the most exciting basketball player ever and it’s not even close. I usually hate duke but I was watching as much Zion as I could that season was magical
@@je9212how? Big dog didn't play until his sophomore season? He played the second year as a junior. He didn't win a ring in college as a true freshman like carmelo...you must have had a stroke and forgot about that part of the equation. 😂
JJ is correct. Good list but the producers SUCKS at adding highlights lmao
That run by Steph at Davidson was some of the most exciting sht I've ever seen.
Dwade run at Marquette to the Final 4 was crazy. Dont know about the whole season.
Facts
Curry and Kemba runs were unmatched
@@caldwmcyeah i agree with steph and dwade, can’t forget about melo either
@@NattyCaddy Melo at Syracuse is what made me start paying attention to college hoops.
Zion was the first name that came to mind. The man was doin mid game 360s as a Duke fan i watched every single game that season and it was because of him.
Don't forget Kemba walker and his run during the tournament
Jimmer Fredette literally made college basketball eclipse the Superbowl AND the NBA, single handedly. He's number 1 and it's not even close.
Carmelo Anthony that one year at Syracuse was the most exciting ever for one year!!
I’m from Syracuse and I was 13 when he came here I remember those days like yesterday
McNamara carried
@@Idkyou89it was special to watch melo was unstoppable, what a year that was!!
Stephen A doing his best mad dog impression.
This time though, unlike Mad Dog, he’s right.
😂😂
Easily the best Stephen A list
Chris Jackson was a beast... some of the best handles ever.
Carmelo had the most dominant, exciting season I ever seen!!
I witnessed Chris Jackson, in his ROOKIE SEASON, without Shaq and Stanley Roberts, and He was, THE MOST EXCITING COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER! No Cap.
Handles, Hops, jump shot, you name it !!!
Mahmoud Abdul Rauf.
@@Reese8531 not better than Glenn Big dog Robinson 💯
Len Bias should be on that list
Thank you!!
Yes he should
MJ and Len Bias the two best players to come out of the ACC.
There’s enough bias in JJs list
Len Bias and Hank Gathers both!!
wait! What about Pistol ? His ball handling and passes are insane, and he averaged 40 points for 3 years in college!
Yeah on 40 shots a game overrated AF
Hes white
@@SquilliamFancySonn 40 points on 40 shots as a perimeter player with no 3 point line is efficient so idk what you on about
bro, have u seen his passes and ball handling? no one was doing that back then@@SquilliamFancySonn
@@stefangrigoras520840 points on 40 shots ( if true ) is horrible 😂 either way shooting 40 times a game ain’t enough to be “ exciting “
Jimmy Fredette was a bucket!
I came here to say where is jimmer
Yes sir. If jimmer not on the list it’s not a list
Great to see Kenny Anderson getting his love from college. Picked behind only Larry Johnson in the 1991 draft, he didn’t quite turn out into a star in the pros. But in college playing for Georgia Tech, he was an absolute stud.

That play was THE REASON why I became a Georgia Tech fan! Salute to Kenny Anderson! 💪🏾👑🔥
He was definitely a great college player!
Your a true hooper if you say "The Move" and people know what you are talking about.
What about kemba walker
That run back in 2011 with UConn was crazy
@@Vinnygetbuckets is was about bananas man went god mode
Facts his run was legendary. Trey Burke’s run was pretty crazy too he was hitting some insane shots for Michigan.
Especially at the garden inn his hometown @@Vinnygetbuckets
@@Vinnygetbucketscross ol buddy up in that Big East Tournament
Pistol Pete Maravich averaged 44 ppg with Globetrotter tricks! Definitely the most exciting.
I immediately thought of Chris Webber and that Fab 5. Surprised that they weren't at least mentioned.
1st name I thought of too
I agree
I was waiting for someone to say Jimmer. Glad JJ mentioned him.
kemba walker run was insane that step back was money
Kenny Anderson was so cold
Molly is worried he took too many blue pills.
Nick Van exel highlights was crazy
How about Jimmer Fredette??
PREACH
Hank Gathers is that dude watch the LSU highlights as he dunked on Shaq and Stanley Robert's
Was a legend, sad that he passed so soon.
Yeah he should have made the list
Larry Johnson?
Highlight reel looking like Molly threw it together in I-movie 30 seconds before they were live 😂
Pete Maravich has to be #1
I LOVE Stephen A’s energy on these segments 🤣🤣
Albert King was overlooked... the only player to be MVP of the ACC tournament even tho he didn't win the chip.
I'd say Jimmer Ferrdette cuz i remember that era of craziness lol
Where’s Len Bias ?????
my personal list as someone who watched primarily late 2000s to mid 2010s
1.acie law, clutch killer with old mans game and sweet lefty jumper.
2. zion, best college player ive ever seen.
3. steph, best tourney run ive ever seen.
4. jeff teague, small explosive guard who i tried to emulate growing up even as far as wearing tshirt under jersey.
5. blake hoffarber, was a gopher fan. pure lefty sniper and way ahead of his time. hit two of most insane shots. won an espy in high school
David Thompson is my most exciting player. Magic Johnson second .
I'm sorry but kemba Walker's run was crazy. Dude was on a mission he was unstoppable.
Molly been working hard on her looks and i salute her for that... mama looking lovely
MOLLY IS ABSOLUTELY WACK THIRSTY FOR ATTENTION MISANDRIST!!!!
She's getting ready for Hot Girl Summer 2k24 😂
@@jasongrady259 she need to live that to the 20 year olds who not about nothing
Yed she is. Molly is perfection
MOLLY IS SUPER WACK!!!!
How is Jordan there over Zion, Christian Laetner, Pistol, and Steph curry
zion didn’t even play a full season in college
@@bakedape5867yes but it’s most exciting, not most accomplished or greatest. In terms of exciting, Zion is up there with anyone who ever played college ball
It’s clearly Larry bird. He took a very bad team to the finals. The entire team returned the next year, they finished below .500. Espn hates white plle. Sas is a pansy
@@courage2002 I agree but he is not up there with them he is miles above them I mean we have the tape it’s not like it’s hidden
Christian Laetner? Stop it.
LEN BIAS!!!
Not having Vince Carter is Blasphemous
Stephen always makes my day
How? All he does is yell nowadays. It's getting old
Then go watch Fatlock @@alvinhazley8378
Trae young was exciting when he was in Oklahoma
Honestly Blake griffin too and kd in Texas was a show!
Len Bias, Grant Hill, Christian Lattner,Vince Carter, Larry Johnson, Chris Webber.
the fact ZION WILLIAMSON isn't on that list is WILD!!!!
DWAYNE "PEARL" WASHINGTON WAS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN COLLEGE!!!!!!!🏀🏀🏀💯💯💯
JJ REDICK IS A BASKETBALL DUDE THAT ACT LIKE BASKETBALL JUST STARTED 20 YEARS AGO!!!!!
JJ knows who he is, & he isn’t saying Pearl wasn’t exciting, he is just criticizing the highlight chosen by the producers.
Pearl Washington’s best season was 17 ppg, reddicks was 26.8.
How is Zion not on there. They literally had a dedication Zion cam during March Madness.
He lost
@@1985Photosacting like every one on that list won a championship. Only MJ did. It’s about the most exciting player not whether they won or not
@@seanburrell8159 Zion was fun to watch but remember he was injured and the team was a bust. Very forgettable. Also he only played one year.
@seanburrell8159 MJ shouldnt even be on the list. Lol
@@seanburrell8159Duke has no business losing in 2019
Bernard King at Tennessee? Maybe not super exciting but can score from anywhere he wanted like he did in the NBA. 59% from the floor in college.
I’m from Syracuse and I didn’t expect this answer from Stephen A
People forget how exciting Christian Laettner and Lew Alcindor were.
Jason Williams should be on this list
1 Larry Johnson (UNLV)
2 Chris Webber (Michigan)
3 Shaq (LSU)
4 Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse)
5 Kevin Durant (Texas)
6 Dwayne Wade (Marquette)
7 Allen Iverson (Georgetown)
8 Stephon Marbury (Georgia Tech)
9 Glenn Robinson (Purdue)
10 Derrick Coalman (Syracuse)
D Rose had an exciting run to the championship game as well. A PG out there dunking on everyone!!!
Carmelo Anthony year at Syracuse was crazy.
David Thompson...
The charismatic take lol Love it !!
Glenn big dog Robinson was a beast in college and was the best unstoppable 🔥💯💯
No jason/jay Williams from Duke? Not a Duke fan but he was the show!!!!
1. Oscar Robinson
2. Steph Curry
3. Zion Williamson
4 MJ
5 Pete Maravich
Love this list Stephen A

Good take!
Great list
This is a A list GUARANTEED
1. Steph
2. Kemba
3. Jimmer
4. Zion
5. Michael Beasley
Honorable mention John Wall
Recency bias
@@WilingtonProductions true this is since I’ve been watching like 2007
Having Steph number 1 is crazy 😂
@@Daffy_C Did you watch him?😂 he led the country in scoring and was 1 play away from taking an unheard of team to the Final Four.
And this was when the good college teams had 4 year players and were much better than they are now
Kemba Walker's infamous and filthy stepback will always be one of my favorite moments
Carmelo Anthony was the best player I ever seen in College!!
That move they show of Kenny Anderson, Kyrie does that almost every night. And Stephen A there going crazy
JJ Reddick, Tyler Hansborough, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Evan Turner/ John Wall
The board tap got me
Best List this dude ever had
The Pearl is my favorite player ever and that list is A1
I urge people to go watch LSU vs Florida, 1988 - One of the most electrifying basketball performance of all time by an individual
1.Magic Johnson
2.Larry Bird
3.Michael Jordan
4.Pistol Pete
5.Allen Iverson
Pistol Pete better be #1
A top 5 most exciting list w/out Pistol Pete is absolute garbage. He is easily #1 or 2.
I agree with Shay Shay on this one. Steph Curry was getting the Caitlin Clark treatment in the NCAA tournament. Also, no one had ever heard of Davidson until Steph Curry played for them.
Kenny Anderson was part of Lethal Weapon 3 at Georgia Tech!!!
Cardiac kemba was like nothing else.
Remember it said Most Exciting...SAS is on to something..I agree...
The most exciting college basketball player was Bill Russell. He led USF to NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956, including a string of 55 consecutive victories, and a 26-point, 27-rebound, 20-block performance in one game.

Christina Lattner?!?!
1.Zion Williamson by far
2.John Wall
3.Kemba Walker
4.Derrick Rose
5.Vince Carter
When I think of Jimmer, I always remember Colin Cowherd saying, 'Coming to an NBA bench near you', Jimmer Fredette!
There were a few months where SAS was mailing it in but he is back in form ☠️
Coach Pearl coached at my high school Canarsie High School, salute 🫡
And Jimmer ferdette was wild in college too
Put JJ on that list 🌟💯💫
Fab Five, Larry Johnson, StarBury
I’m wit unc on the trae young, idk which number most likely 5, but dat man had my eyes glued to da screen to see what Oklahoma would do
That cross to behind the back looked so stagnant and Steven A going crazy over it lol
No fab five?
In no particular order: Jordan, Iverson, Fab 5, Magic-Bird, Len Bias
Larry Johnson of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels from the early 90’s? Maybe not top 5, but an honorable mention … some of the most exciting basketball I’ve watched both collegiate or professional level 🏀
The one year of Zion was the most exciting basketball player ever and it’s not even close. I usually hate duke but I was watching as much Zion as I could that season was magical
Derrick rose ,kevin love , zion Williams, Hakeem the dream , magic Johnson, Larry bird
Bobby Hurely played good D on that highlight too.
I guess nobody remembers Ralph Sampson
Ewing, Zion,, pistol, Jordan and Magic
The disrespect to Carmelo Anthony at Syracuse is unreal.
Glenn Big dog Robinson was better 💯
