I love Rod telling his truth of how his career went. He told me once that his unprofessionalism cost him a lot of money . When he was a top five point guard in the league . I'm happy to see his growth as a coach and as a man .
@@anthonytaylor7928He never was voted an all star even though he had all star seasons when he was in Portland and Washington. I consider that UNDERRATED!!!!
Fellas..I appreciate yall having Rod on here man. I grew up a huge fan of his when he played for the Bullets/Wizards back in the day. I’m from DC so he was my favorite PG. Love the interview man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can sit and listen to Rod Strickland talk the game of basketball for hours. The man's knowledge, respect and love for the game is amazing. Man a New York city legend sitting and discussing other NYC point guard legends- THANKS FELLAS !!!
Dwayne "Pearl" Washington... R.I.P. He was a good dude. He played college ball with my cousin Rafael at Syracuse and I also had my own personal vibe with him while competing against him in the California Summer Pro League at Loyola Maramount. We ( Pearl, David Wingate, Bobby Phills, Tony Smith, Elden Campbell, Reggie Cross, Robert Pack) and myself ate breakfast together a few times...
I remember Rafael Addison at Syracuse. I grew up in the Phoenix area and the Suns drafted him when I was like 9 or 10. I went to USC (Class of 99) like Pack, but got there like 4 years after he left.
Yes, I believe Raf was drafted the same year with Jeff Hornacek? I played some pick up ball at the (JCC) Jewish Community Center with some of the Suns, James Edwards, Larry Nance, Rod Foster, Jay Humphries, Bernard Thompson, Kenny Gattison, Walter Davis and others. Also, while I was playing in the California Summer Pro League Pack introduce me to a incoming freshman point-guard at USC name Duane Hackett who later was in the movie "Blue Chips" with Shaq and Penny Hardaway...@@CinqueMalcolm
Rod wanted more playing time. Mark was the better point guard and leader. Rod played better defense and scored at the cup more. Mark Jackson ran the offense and abused smaller guards. Knew the game better and didn’t make turnovers. Mark Jackson shot an I’ll advised brick during the playoffs after coming back from off of a knee injury. Rick Pitino resigned. Stu Jackson took over and they had a descent season. John McCleod was hired as the coach and it was an awful season. Mark came into the third season out of shape. Mo Cheeks got the starting position. Interviewer asks Mark. “What do you think that you can learn by having Mo Cheeks on the team?” Mark responded “Mo Cheeks could learn from me.” John McCleod and Al Bianchi Got at Mark Jackson in practice , pointing fingers in his face and yelling at him. Mark yelled back and got dismissed from practice. They suspended him for slamming the door. After that it was a bad relationship until McCleod left and they brought in Pat Riley to help Mark Jackson get back right again. Then Mark got traded to LA Clippers. The Clippers were a “run and gun” team which was what Mark liked best. He flourished. So did Rod Strickland. The Knicks fell apart without Rick Pitino. Rick knew exactly what to do with Mark and Rod but once he was gone all hell broken loose.
To me I was never impressed if you did thinks out of the rules of the game or in the intrest of winning.... Like that kid Hot Sauce... he carries the ball, travels... Whats impressive about that?
Bag fuel - is official!!! What’s understood Needs no explanation!!! The fact that Esso & Hy ( space ghost behind the camera) interview ppl outside of “ rap music “ is genius!! Beloved Brothers y’all got something speacial- keep nurturing the Brand!!
Here in Chicago there's a lot of love for Rod, from when he went to DePaul he's an Icon here for real. But yeah Hynaken you're bugging they weren't beating MJ and the Bulls, once the Bulls dismantled the Pistons it was a wrap.
The NBA has never been ready for the likes of R. Strickland, J. Williams, A. Iverson & K. Irving. They are all humble yet their game is flashy as fuck, which makes it difficult to understand them as players in real time...
I've always felt the same way the street ball style because a lot of that stuff is illegal under the whistle and what's not u wouldn't do it in a regular game
Steph was the only PG from NY who could shoot. Rod was the smoothest PG from NY. Kenny A was nice but he never put on weight and couldn’t shoot outside the paint
ROD STRICKLAND IS A GEM. ROD STRICKLAND SHOULD OPEN UP A BASKETBALL ACADEMY BECAUSE 1. HIS SKILL 2 HIS PERSERVERANCE OF DEALING WITH THE POLTICS THAT TRIED TO DESTROY HIM IN NEW YORK WHICH REVOLVED AROUND PITINO AND STU JACKSON. ROD STRICKLAND PERSEVERED AND HE SPEAKS WITH A CLARITY NOT FOUND IN ENOUGH NBA PLAYERS WHOSE INTELLECT HAS NOT PARALLED THEIR BASKETBALL 🏀 SKILL😮
I agree... I give propers to ppl who can do it in the natural flow of the game. ISo is a think but no one trying to do that all game. And there's a humiliation aspect to some of this stuff too, which is distasteful to me.
IDK IF HE WAS FROM KINGSBRIDGE IN THE BRONX BUT I SAW HIM WHEN I WAS LITTLE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD HE SIGNED MY BASKETBALL 🏀 AND ALL MY FRIENDS BASKETBALLS I WAS PROBABLY 7 YEAR'S OLD Maybe 8 WE WALKED TWO BLOCKS UP GOT ROBBED BY SOME 16/17 YEAR OLDS MAYBE THEY WERE OLDER WHO KNOWS I JUST REMEMBERED THEY LOOKED LIKE GIANTS NEXT TO US 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 AND MY FRIEND HAD A DISPOSABLE CAMERA WE TOOK A FLICK WITH HIM AND THE ROBBERS TOOK THAT TOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MAN WHAT i would do to have that pic.
@@calebbarker220 Definitely a crazy story and IDK if your from the Bronx or NYC but Kings bridge compared to the south bronx wasn't that bad of area crime yeah here and there but it was still a good place to live compared to the South Bronx I lived in both two different worlds
@rotweilerscholar1181 he definitely was connected if I recall he was about to enter La Caridad restaurant he was going to have lunch or dinner with Fat Joe back then I didn't know who Joe was no disrespect I was just into basketball and video games then when I got older I was like oh shit that was Fat Joe who I saw they both pulled up almost at the same time Joe with like 15 goons and Strickland was rolling with like two people maybe three if that but I remember like it was yesterday I was wallking up the hill with my friends and Joe entered about three minutes later Strickland parks and hops out in a brand new Lexus truck
I bet these little clips make y'all a couple dollars... BUT, I bet y'all would make a lot more bread & would get A LOT more views of you put the entire video out 1st & then hit the casual viewers with the clips after the full episode drops. It would be different from what everybody else is doing & I think it would work for y'all more than it would hurt. Vlad started that clip shit & I immediately saw the money grab in it. It's culture vulture'ish in my opinion. Keep working, fellas
Yo Rod, stop letting Paul Martin f!@k up ya legacy. - U scripting kid. It never works out. He's a legacy killer. U know wut I'm talking about?- Anytime baby, anywhere. - U not me. I fux wit cha but please God, stop it. This Mike Alike NYC- AKA- Never wore Jordan's in my life.
ROD STRICKLAND CANNOT SPEAK THE TRUTH. ROD AND MARK WERE TOO BLACK TOO STRONG FOR AL BAINCHI AND JOHN MCLEOD. AL BIANCHI DID NOT LIKE MARK .RICK PITINO AND STU JACKSON DID NOT LIKE ROD. NO PRO SPORTS WANTS TO DEAL WITH STRONF BLACK MEN PERIOD AND DEFINITELY NOT STRONG BLACK MEN FROM NEW YORK
Was a Knicks fan when they had Strickland/ They traded him.Ever since then son, I Hated them.- Nature
🔥🔥🔥 class of 9 8 my fellow graduates, well known savages, we elbow cabbages.... 🔥🔥🔥
Things getting sour in the NY half the team hurt still 🥷 s get high and rock QUEENS shirts
Nature was beast. I really never knew how dope he was lyrically and stylistically. 🚨
Classic Nature line 🔥🔥🔥
Word!
I love Rod telling his truth of how his career went. He told me once that his unprofessionalism cost him a lot of money . When he was a top five point guard in the league . I'm happy to see his growth as a coach and as a man .
That's cool that he can admit it... most guys blame the coaches or someone else...
His unprofessionalism had also cost him trips to the all-star game. It's a shame because I dug his game. Strick was the truth.
THE LEGENDARY AND UNDERRATED ROD STRICKLAND!!!!!! Came to our basketball camp and was mad gracious in sharing his knowledge.
He's not underrated why do folks use the word underrated on RUclips so darn much
@@anthonytaylor7928He never was voted an all star even though he had all star seasons when he was in Portland and Washington.
I consider that UNDERRATED!!!!
I saw Rod when he played at DePaul vs St John's at the Mecca they won i think he had like 25 points the brother was nice.
Boo Harvey is another underrated NYC point guard who played with Rod and against Rod in highschool
Fellas..I appreciate yall having Rod on here man. I grew up a huge fan of his when he played for the Bullets/Wizards back in the day. I’m from DC so he was my favorite PG. Love the interview man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My favorite pg, He gave my man 63 Jersey shore summer league . I hope to meet him one day. I moved to Largo MD. Never had the chance to meet him.

Great interview so far fellas!! Keep them coming 🔥🔥🔥
"First round pick, why the Knicks trade Rod Strict...that man was nice!" Sadat X
I’m with Rod on the StreetBall ish. I never got into the idea of sitting there and letting some clown dance around in front of me with the ball.
To me I was never impressed if you did thinks out of the rules of the game or in the intrest of winning.... Like that kid Hot Sauce... he carries the ball, travels... Whats impressive about that?
@@yarmus718 Exactly
That's what it is clown basketball
Completely agree. All that clowning.
Did we win, end of.
The GoD of New York in basketball...the great ROD STRICKLAND....peace

Great interview!
PEACE 7
First name that came to my mind was Pearl Washington. From the choker rope chains, fresh kicks, style and handle
ROD STICKLAND
IS THE BEST PG FROM NY
dope interview
Everyone was thinking Marbury
I had to smile when Rod said I forgot about Kenny Anderson. Because the first person I was thinking about was Kenny Anderson.
Here in Chicago there's a lot of love for Rod, from when he went to DePaul he's an Icon here for real.
But yeah Hynaken you're bugging they weren't beating MJ and the Bulls, once the Bulls dismantled the Pistons it was a wrap.
I love Rod he a real one im from DC and meet him one night when he played for wizards on the humble he gave me a autograph and brought me a drink 💯
The NBA has never been ready for the likes of R. Strickland, J. Williams, A. Iverson & K. Irving. They are all humble yet their game is flashy as fuck, which makes it difficult to understand them as players in real time...
Good video guys..😮
Jamal Tinsley was a MAJOR PROBLEM. Highly underrated.
Indeed, go back and watch him and Iowa St vs UCLA in 2000. Also his battle vs Mateen Cleaves and Michigan St the same year.
Real dude ,met him a few times back in the day when he was a knick man of the people !
Pee Wee Kirkland
Kenny Anderson (Cheeba)
Rob was the best small finisher I ever seen in the NBA...
I've always felt the same way the street ball style because a lot of that stuff is illegal under the whistle and what's not u wouldn't do it in a regular game
Rod is SOOOOOO NYC 😊✊🏾✌🏽
What up STA! Mitchell projects. He is from the south Bronx
Steph was the only PG from NY who could shoot. Rod was the smoothest PG from NY. Kenny A was nice but he never put on weight and couldn’t shoot outside the paint
He played at a summer league in NYC 1996 he dropped 63 points in the second half didn’t play the first half
Max mostly, undivided then slide in sickening
Guaranteed made ’em jump like Rod Strickland
Bro was lethal on the Dreamcast. I forgot the game but my cousin used to yell “SCRICKLAND” 😂 shit had me heated. Like whotf is yo?😂
Rod would eat in this era

Cmon I thought he would say MARK JACKSON
Pearl washington my cousin rip
Mannn, he broke down that “Entertainers……”[‘55th] stuff like I would. It would be “HATE” from ME tho😉.
Rod’s The ONE. Afta Tiny!

Shamgod
Lloyd wasn't a PG though...
Rod look like he can still school cats! 💪🏾
Rod never played In Nelson park either…
Carlton silk Owens from Coney Island and Rhode Island and ken mouse McFadden from lower east side Madison square rec and Cleveland state
The first round pick why the Knicks trade Rod Strick that man is nice. Sadat X
Been a Rod fan since DePaul. I could tell he not a street ball type of guy. "Let's hoop"!!
Went to the game as a knicks fan they had Strickland they traded him ever since that I hated them
