- Just a reckless game by Roy Tarpley which yielded both good results and bad. Tarpley sprints up and down the court like a mad man, hustles his tail off on rebounds and defense, yet also attempts 24 field goal attempts (and makes seven of them). In the end, it was just what Dallas needed as they got to 1-2 in the series playing in front of a roaring Reunion Arena crowd. Tarpley was the Player of the Game and it's safe to say that you'd take some of the less successful plays made by Roy in order to get all of the good ones he made.
From Game 2 of the Denver series until Game 5 of this Lakers series (10 games total) Tarpley averaged 18.6 points and 15.2 rebounds per game off the bench. This might have been the best basketball he ever played. R.I.P. May 27, 1988.
Roy the Rebound! Addiction is powerful. He could have been one of the best power forwards in NBA history.
Yes one of the best 3 p, forward after T Duncan and K Malone
@@vdLeo-je6os to me, he’s kinda like Ralph Sampson in that he showed amazing potential but never reached his full capacity. He and Ralph could’ve had a great rivalry going on in Texas for years if they had both been able to stay clean/healthy.
Roy we loved you, we never forgot you - ARIS THESSALONIKI (1992-93)
we 'll never forget you...
OLYMPIAKOS - GATE 7!!!
The '86 draft consisted of Roy Tarpley, Len Bias and Chris Washburn---drugs and alcohol addiction ruined their careers. Dennis Rodman was in that draft too but was able to persevere through it somehow.
what a talent he was
I just found out Roy Tarpley is my third cousin
Good for you man. RIP Roy. Greetings from Thessaloniki Greece.
He could have been one of the best three power forwards ever played the game. (Of course If he stayed out of drinking alcohol). RIP Roy from an Aris-Thessaloniki fan where Roy Tarpley played in 1992-93 season avg 22 points and 17.5 reb. per game. RIP Roy. Great player, great guy.
Αχ μείνε Ελλάδα ρε Ρόι , την είχες φέρει τη ζωή σου εδώ σε μια σειρά ! RIP μεγάλε τύπε , σε θυμόμαστε ΓΙΑ ΠΑΝΤΑ ΣΤΟ ΛΙΜΑΝΙ !!!!
The Mavs of those days had Donaldson, Perkins, and Tarpley, and the trio complemented each other very well. Good games of Tarp was possible thanks to the other two (Donaldson working very hard to keep Kareem away from the basket, for example) and vice versa. So nice.
Also schrempff
I met him when I was a kid! It meant a lot to me kind of a hero!
Remember him playing in Greece,amazing player,almost NBA all-star level.God rest his soul.
Not almost my friend. Roy (RIP), was much more better from many NBA All Stars.
he woulda been special, cocaine is a helluva drug
Jesus, Roy Tarpley. Wasn't he banned for life? Not that he gave a fck I think, he made a shitton of money in Europe...if I remember correctly.
You remember very well man
@@vdLeo-je6os Im guessing he played in Greece then 👍🏻
@@magichands135 And we loved him more than the Americans if I may say!!
@@vdLeo-je6os Such a great talent, Im glad he at least got to play or keep playing and for people to enjoy his talent. The NBA has a sad and long list of wasted talent due to substance abuse.
@@magichands135 Some say that he was about to be selected at the 1992 Dream Team. If he stayed healthy he could have been one of the NBA BEST 5 power forwards ever. Greetings from Thessaloniki Greece.
Today it's 5 years since his death. Maybe the most dominant American that played in Europe. Sadly his addictions got the best of him.
He died of liver failure. Alcohol is also a hell of a drug
Hard living. He put that liver through the wringer.
Roy was my favorite Maverick of all time and the best in my opinion just had too short sorry Dirk.
The Best
what could have been
Righteous DMH Yeah, in 1988 he was ahead of his time a bit. But never had another full year.
Righteous DMH in Greece and olympiakos he is the best
A legend. Greek Aris and Olympiacos fans will never forget him.
Ο ΘΕΟΣ ROY 💫
great to hear Snapper Jones & Bob Neal
The duel of the #42 Goggle Guys: Tarpley vs Worthy
To me, Roy Tarpley was the real MVP of that team. If he had been able to stay clean and straight, he’d have turned into a huge superstar! The ‘90s Mavs would’ve looked a whole lot better as a result.
Roy was a beast! #RIP
After Perkins, he had Lipiridis and Kabouris as teammates... Hahahahahaaaaa!!!
Kabouris the '' Honest Giant ''
He deserved to be a member of the Dream Team in Barcelona in 1992, but he had drug issues...
87-88 Mavs were stacked.
Tarp was the 80’s Amare or Obi, beautiful basketball player.
Guys like roy tarpley, Eddie griffin, chris Washburn , Len bias are proof that the nba isn’t a world for everyone 😪
In a parallel world, where West did not veto Roy and Aguirre for Worthy, and where Roy didn't have a drug problem, the Lakers dynasty was even more amazing! Even in this reality, the Lakers would have been okay because Worthy didn't have longevity anyway. Roy drug issues came to light and was suspended by the NBA same year Magic retired. Worthy was no longer Worthy after Magic retired, and had all those injuries.
@0:27 IDC what position he plays that was an incredibly smooth dribble>outlet you will ever see
He was better as a pro than as a college player. Could've been one of the all-time greats but now just a footnote.
James Worthy is as comparable.
Kevin Garnett?
Coke had Roy a beast on the boards
Is that the sound of Bob Neal?
thanks for posting this... I had it in my mind that Roy Tarpley was one of the best #4s ever and here we see him on full display. #goat
Let's gomavs truth from Tanner no lie
Dude was doing this while high and drunk. What a shame, guy could have been the GOAT
No. Stop the hyperbole.
Clique productions?
Great game
