- What took away the NBA mighty mouse's opportunity in the 90s/early 2000s? Damon Stoudamire was the first franchise player for the Toronto Raptors, a star in college, had a great first 2 years with Toronto, then everything changed. Was it because he was overshadowed talent wise in Portland? He had to sacrifice in order to win? Or he just wasn't as good as Toronto made him look? Whatever the case, many expected Damon Stoudamire to have been better than his time in the league was. What do you think stunted his Growth? Here's what I think.

Stoudamire is an inspiration for all undersized point guards. Super quick, tight handle, could pass, shoot and drive. Very talented
He was definitely better than LeBrick lames
Stunted? Nah, Damon had a solid 💪 career.. He more like a forgotten gem if anything!
Facts!!
Yes facts dame had a nice career and if it wasnt for them gambling cheating refs that portland team would of won the chip in 2000/2001 i gotta disagree with bro dame had a solid career
@@kevinrobertson8881 the blazers are my hometown team so I saw the impact he had on and off the court and he was a legend in his own way
Couldn't have said it better my boi. Lol It's funny cause I Literally was watching the clip where he crossed (I forgot who he was🤷♂️🤣 lol ) but yea most definitely a hidden gem!💪💯
@@kevinrobertson8881 the Jailblazers was the shit
Damon was the absolute truth.
The truth naw but he was like a B+ player at best
Definitely a greater role player than most. Would've been great on any championship team
More of a (B) at best his overall career was a C+ ,,,despite him coming into the league averaging around 20ppg 1st 2seasons and breaking alot of ankles. He had alot of heart but eventho he never made a allstar team ,,he still was a cut above average talent as a undersized NBA player .
The truth is quite a bit of a stretch already, then you added the word absolute. Now it's a joke. I agree with the him being B player.
@@josephlabajosa4075 so let me ask this is a B player the “average” player in the league?
@@Jairusd88 B is a average Good to Very Good player on some nights . DAMON's heart ,scoring ability from the pg spot for his height has him on the fence of c+ and a B .if he would have been a consistent B he would have made a allstar team 1year like vanExcel did and nick the quick was a assassin and had the sauce too
Crazy cause now weed legal in Portland and stuff even worst
“If you gone trade me, trade me. But don’t play mind games.”💯💯💯
Exactly that a fact
Biggest mistaken said out of his own mouth was him leaving Toronto. He stated he would have been the first to do it all in Toronto. Instead he wasnt forecasting and he went to Portland and they did not need him. Good work JC please don't forget Andrea Bargnani.
Salute💯
Dame was solid an he held his own in portland they got cheated out of the finals by tim donahee that ref is a piece of garbage
First. Mighty mouse is the truth. I live in Sac and my cousin goes to Pacific in Stockton CA i saw him and said mighty mouse he dabbed me up and everything. Humble to the fullest. And he had jokes too. I said why they call yall the jailblazers...he said no comment and we started dying lol.
I went to Pacific when they first hired him. Very humble. He is slowly turning the program around.
His legacy will be defined by his college coaching career. Despite the C-19 pandemic problems, he’s doing a good job building the University of Pacific men’s basketball program. He will be a great D1 coach in due time!
He coaches w the Celtics now
I played against Damon in HS. An incredible player and impossible to guard. He’s not a bad guy, IMO, but this notion that he’s a ‘clean cut’ good image guy doesn’t make sense. There was an incident in HS where he had an altercation that didn’t look good.
Nah
Kyle lowry wore his jersey during the championship parade ❤️
I am a proud attendee. Flew in from California too!!
#WeTheNorth 👌🍁🏆
1:25 He made Ron Harper fall,I thought it was Jordan until I looked again 😂😂😂
Is that how he caused one of Harper's knee injuries?
Stunted growth on the first Dirk Nowitzki... Detlef Schrempf..
he ruined his carrer leaving toronto .was solid in portland streaky like a mike conley jeff teague there
I like this comment however mike conley an jeff teague would get gassed by mighty mouse he didnt ruin his career bro that Portland team stayed in the playoffs every year
@@kevinrobertson8881 foh Mike Conley is better than him lol
Conley still plays much better defense, than Mighty Mouse ever did, mainly coming from his size disadvantage
Do one on Bonzi Wells
Yessssssss great idea after Memphis and New Orleans dude wasn’t the same
Your on roll... Do Theo Ratiff, Michel Finley, Terrell Brandon, Glen Rice, Sean Elliot, Dana Barros, Cliff Robinson, Danny Manning, Mark Price, Raef LaFentz
I don't think Michael Finley's growth was stunted. Or Glen Rice for that matter....
@@mistermann3225 sean elliott has a championship and hit the most important clutch shot in spurs history
Terrell Brandon should definitely be next.
@@mistermann3225 I think Rice fell off quick after that All Star Award.. and Finley should have been more.. it was him and Ray Allen at one point in time..
@@ogmusik2549 I’m a Spurs fan..Sean was never the 2 that Robinson needed especially when we had to face Utah or Houston back in the 90’s
Mighty Mouse! Imagine if he stayed in Toronto and played with Vince and T-Mac. Sometimes going home home isn't the best choice unless you have the maturity to handle it. My Rockets were also trying to trade trade for him at the time. Perhaps if he'd went there and be the face of a post Olajuwon era Houston, he would have continued on the star path he'd started in Toronto.
True story: there was a make-your-own-card machine at my local grocery store back in the late-'90s. So I made a Raptors-themed card to send to Damon, proclaiming him as my favorite player at the time. Unfortunately, it came back because he was gone to Portland. (Actually, it was because I didn't know anything about international postage at age 11, but let's stick with the first one lol.) On the bright side, I did get to see him live with the Grizzlies when I first moved to Memphis.
It's a damn crime he never made an all star team!
After Damon left they ended up drafting TMac and then Vince Carter. Had he stayed the Big 3 of Tmac, Damon, and Vince would have been exciting to watch.
And marcus Camby 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job on putting actual Portland locations in the page. By putting the park and the community center. Did some research!
Thanks! Salute to you for noticing that!✌️
Can you Do.. Todd Day, Stacy Augmon, Kendell Gill, Terrell Brandon, Tom Gugliotta, Robert Pack, Willie Burton, Michael Williams, or Michael Adams. dope content bro
Word to your list Vashon Leonard to
Pack had promise, Gugliotta had the skills...nice list
DSJ reminds me of Pack.
@@absolute95allah7 Yeah he could hoop, I had other players I wanted to name but I tried to keep my list short
can't shoot, can't shoot, can't shoot, injuries, injuries, can't shoot, who cares times 3. you're welcome.
We love him in here in Tucson among the "oldheads" I'm 40, he was such a sight to see on the court. Thank you for this video and appreciate your work.
Bonzi, Sheed, ZBo, Isaiah Riderand Mighty mouse...SMH. They had talent on that squad
They got robbed in game 7. The NBA did not want them in the Finals.
And Steve Smith and Scottie Pippen
And Brian Grant, Arvydas Sabonis
@@TheWakeup011 nah bruh they had a 15 point lead they got no one to blame but themselves for blowing that
2020 was a crappy year but finding this channel was a a bright side. The videos are done nicely and I like going back and seeing players I watched as a kid. Love the vids bro keep it up.
Great numbers and got ROY over alot of great rookies that year. Out of the blue... He's in Portland. I never looked at him the same again
He played with better players in Portland sheed Wallace raptors noone that good maybe Vince Carter
@@Real2k25 Vince showed up later. Camby was there. No TMac no Vince
@@jknumber5138 yes so he took more shots on Portland Steve Smith Wallace
@@jknumber5138 he played with a rookie T-Mac
@@DMVBLACK Good looks. I was thinking TMac the starter. I doubt he ever started in Toronto
Your videos are so good. I appreciate your hard work.
Damon used to come up to Peninsula Park and was admired. Even the kids at Jefferson looked up to him even though he went to Wilson. Portland Legend
I 100% agree with you about the Toronto part. The Raptors had just been added to the league and they had no expectations, so that Stoudamire was free of leading the team. It was a perfect situation for a rookie pg to be in the spotlight
Don't forget Isiah Thomas was the GM of the franchise and truly believed in him. Damon Stoudamire won ROTY. At the award presentation, Isiah was so proud he kissed him on the cheek.
Injuries and going home to play for the blazers where he was one of many and not the main man like he was in Toronto salute for doing one on Mighty mouse!! he was the truth on the court!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
JC on point with the sweet lefty jumpshooting point guards,vanExcel, now Damon mighty mouse was tough and very shifty off the dribble in Toronto and most of his stint in Portland. Damon was a 90s era gem that help paved the way for under 6'0"point guards evolution , Great video 💯
One of my fav pgs. Big respect to yo channel jc 💪🏾
Gr8 video.... good nostalgic video 😊
He was nice back then but for real bro can you do a video on Josh Childress he got forgotten and lost in the sauce
Waiting for this!!!
The smoothist lefty was Chris Mullin.
I have been waiting on this one bro💪🏾💯
I've been waiting for this. One of my favs.
Damon was always one of my favorite point guards. Coming out of college and going into the NBA
Leaving Toronto And The Jail Blazers Era stunted Damon Stoudamire’s growth....stoudamire looks like a humble and cool cat who’d share basketball stories and have a coffee and conversation with you also...salute and respect stunted growth...also is part of the raptors alumni team also...
Damon had the freedom to do whatever he wanted in Toronto . In Portland he had to play team ball.
Would of been dope if he stayed playing with Tracy mcgrady and vince carter if damon didn't leave the team before they came in the league
Not for nothing, I actually think he was an overachiever.
He was solid pg another dope vid bro you getting up there with flemlo raps with the videos
Great clip!
I was wondering whatever happened to him.
Thank you!!
If he stayed in Toronto, he would be in the same situation playing with McGrady and Carter
This another 1 I been waiting to see and recommended
You should have had a pic of him wearing a raptor jersey. When I see a Portland jersey all I think about is how sabonis used to pass to stoudemire when stoudemire would run past him used him as an off ball screen to get open then pop the eight foot shot. Which was good for about six buckets a night cause sabonis had bad knees but could pass anywhere on the court . While stoudemire was starting to slow down but could still reach top speeds without the ball for a quick catch and shoot play. Got used to seeing it too great chemistry.
Your channel is Stunted!!!
Being a short, lefty, myself. Nick "the quick " & " mighty mouse " were and r still great players. Watching them , helped my game, going into high school. Court vision and ability. I marveled at the things these guys did. Thanks. For this one.
Real solid dude, was my favorite on nba live loved that left hand pull up jumper
i remember him being very close to isiah thomas who was the gm of raptors and the man who drafted him. thomas tried to buy the raptors but the deal fell through so he left the team. unlike the grizzlies the raptors were a promising team with thomas as gm and he had a plan to build the team around stoudamire. when he left it pissed off stoudamire and made him want to leave as well.
Thank you!
Awesome video! Still have my Mighty Mouse champion Raptors jersey. Really wish he would have stayed there. Him, Camby, T-Mac and Vince Carter would have been amazing.
Would love to see a video on Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Mike Bibby.
Really great video. I still have my OG champion Raptors jersey of his. Would love to see some former Vancouver Grizzlies get a video ex. Mike Bibby or Shareef Abdur-Rahim.
Sean Elliott-forever remembered for the Memorial Day miracle in the 1999 NBA playoffs...two things that stunted his growth:1.Being traded from the Spurs 2.his career ending due to his kidney condition....
Love your videos. Nice production values and content. How about Kerry Kittles?
Might Mouse! He reminds me of a Mike Conley, future Stunted Growth? Lefties edition.
Mike Conley overachieved.. Not stunted
Watching these makes miss my basketball card collection, I had growing up. I had every player you do a video on. I have a collection now, but it's not the same.
Big Damon fan. Big enough to acknowledge Rasheed Wallace was the Jail Blazers captain
Damon Stodamire tried to buy weed from me when i was 13. I might not have looked 13 but I was 13 none the less.
I didn't have any weed to sell.
lol stop making up stories
@@joealbert3757 why would you call me a liar?
Guess you have real encounter my bad
@@HaightTheGreat I believe you
@@makhiabryantsknife8143 Nice👍
I remember Stoudamire during the 1995-1996 season, he was great, stayed in Toronto he would have Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady at his side, that would have been amazing. I think Portland had a great coach Mike D but he was a player's coach, they needed a disciplinarian, P.J. Carlesimo was missed.
Ok brooo dropping straight fire... DS was tough as they come . #StuntedGrowth Keep grinding bro. 40k subs OTW Next should be Calbert Cheaney and Bryant(Big Country) Reeves
I was literally was going to request this
Left hand killa thank you for the memories you gave when you played for Portland.
They say he should have not gone to the Blazers but they had made it to the Western conference finals TWICE!(?)
I met him once at a basketball camp at Ryerson University in Toronto. A lot of kids showed up wanting to meet their hero, he showed up over an hour late, took some shots, said a few uninspiring words, showed off for a few minutes and left. He did shake my hand though. Overall I didn't perceive him as a nice person, eventhough I still have him as one of my favorite raptors, cause he was the first.
We in 🇨🇦 appreciate you !! O Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Finally we Got Mighty Mouse💪🏾💯
From Toronto, family of basketball heads. Excited to get a team in Toronto. Damon was that guy. I was worried when i seen you starting to make the point that he was made to look better because of the competition level being lowered and as u expounded on that point, I couldn't help but give a full co sign completely having actually been there. Now I realize now that I was fooled in my childhood completely.
Damn JC, you hit this right on the head.
He was never supposed to be a top 10 pick, but uh....Isaiah Thomas. Then you put him on a team with luminaries like Acie Earl and Zan Tabak, he has to play 40 minutes a game, he's getting coached by Darrel Walker who only got the job because....ISAIAH THOMAS, and we all fell in love with the dude. But by his own admission he was a scoring guard in an era when Portland needed a pure point to keep all those mouths fed.
Damon would probably be an All Star in this era.
I believe that he should have kept his mouth shut and wait until his contract runs out before voicing his frustration to the upper office.
You should start doing teams such as the 90’s magic or the early 2000’s kings
Checkout "Secret Base" he does teams
yeah, in that era he had to compete against guys like Steve Smith, Kevin Johnson, Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, John Stockton, and Rod Strickland were higher regarded and get all of accolades that goes with it in the western conference. Of course you just did Nick Van Exel, which he and Damon Stoudamire can never get elevated above any of those guys to be on the All Star western conference teams. Or even All-NBA teams.
I got to see him play the Clippers at the Sports Arena his rookie year. Please believe me when I say NO ONE could keep up with him. Because the arena was so dinky, the court-side seats seemed like they were practicality on the court. Damon put on a show and almost singlehandedly defeated the Paper Clips (as they were once known). Van Exel was my personal favorite but, no lie, Stoudamire was my mom’s favorite player of the 90s. He was definitely in my top ten competitors. He was a warrior for a cool minute and is one of the hardest players to beat on NBA2K. Much respect to Mighty Mouse.
EDIT: Have you considered Cedric Ceballos?
I grew up in 90s, it's funny looking at the basketball cards I collected. Looking at Damon, or Eddie Jones, Chris Webber , starberry, Kerry kittles, Allan Houston, Kemp. I couldn't give them away, but I think it's why I see 90s basketball as the best era.
The little quick guards changed the game in the late 90s early 2000s...Damon and Iverson were compared a lot and was a great matchup... he was a killer in Toronto and was a All-Star🤟🏾‼️
Truthfully all of your features are dope! Need one on Billy Owens,Roy Marble,Mark Macon,Rodney Monroe,Bonzi Wells,Walt Williams
Loving the content king. Would you please do Andray Blatche be had the tools and skills to be great. What happened tho????
Would love to see u do a video on David booth from DePaul crazy store
Mighty Mouse Made stunted growth wow!!!! He was my childhood hero, Him mugsy bouges, n Spud Webb, Nate Tiny Archibald, Ear The Pearl Monroe, My 5 footers really impacted the game n shifted the style small guards!!!
I still have his silver signature rookie card and accompanying action figure. One of my favorite players during his time.
Mighty Mouse Was My Nickname In 1997 on The Basketball Court Too. I Still Think He Should Be In The Hall Of Fame With Nick Van Exel.
Uh .. no
One of the best “Stunted Growth’s” you’ve done, in my opinion.
I thought myself a student of the game, but overlooked the fact that in Damon’s first couple of years, he played against back up players. Therefore inflating his numbers.
Good pick up. Nice.
CAP
Midrange monster
Damon was great, I watched his whole career. Nothing stunned his growth. The only thing I can say is that ones he came home to Portland he became more laid back and didn't need to be the number 1 guy option, because Rasheed Wallace was already established as that guy. Also the team had a full roster of all stars and up an coming talent like Sabonis, Wallace, Pippen, Steve Smith, Detlef Shrempf, Jermaine O'neal, Brian Grant, Randolph, Bonzi Wells and more. It was one of my favorite teams and follow them thru the whole season. Damon never needed to prove himself to all these players to be the number 1 option instead he wanted to fit in the team and help them in what they needed. He was a very unselfish great player. This video is showing false facts.
That Was Nice
I literally was just thinking bout bro the other day. The truth. Plus he had sum fire ass shoes💪
Dude is soo underrated, his hands are magnet to the ball..... dude just have handles like no other, no sloppiness or awkward looking dribbles. You kids don't know handles, if you want to know, check this little guy out.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I went to his basketball camp in Portland as a kid, he said I was a “big ass kid with a left” and was hella nice to everyone.
I remember Damon with the Blazers and he was nice man
You should make one on Jared Bayless.
Love it....I was at the 1995 draft when all of Toronto wanted Ed O'bannon. Toronto Booed him. I cheered. They didn't know about 1990's Arizona guards.
Something about those Blazers jerseys with the red overlays and shadows on the numbers and words are 🔥🔥 to me. I just wish those away team jerseys said Portland on them
Damon Stoudamire Was Cheat Code On one Of the NBA Live video Game Cuz I keep giving him assist Every time
Gotta do Sheed, Shareef Abdur Rahim or Kenyon Martin too man
Jayson Williams (Nets)
Dana Barros
Jamaal Tinsley
Cliff Robinson RIP
Bonzi Wells
Zach Randolph
Bryant Reeves
Michael Dickerson
Hilton Armstrong
Rasheed Wallace
Mighty Mouse had a decent career in my opinion
Way ahead of his time
Do Jamal Mashburn, Baron Davis, Dell Curry, Josh Smith, Jimmer Fredette, Purvis Ellison, Jermaine O'Neal, Jameer Nelson, Nick Anderson, Reece Gaines, Mychal Thompson
The reason I'm a die hard portland fan even tho I'm born and raised in the bronx. Traded to his hometown didn't seem to help his career. But one of my fav players ever
