I thought MayDay was going to wreck havoc in the league when the Bucks signed him and Lee Mayberry. Just goes to show that the NBA is a whole other beast.
Fr mane. They were buzzing in the M. Fun fact. My partner was really hating on dude because some chic he liked was jockin dude. I used to clown his ass. 😂
The players didn't have that MUCH clout as they do Right NOW, so if you talked TOO MUCH s*** that the coach DIDN'T LIKE back in those days, you could get banished from the league REAL easy!
I played against Mayberry in high school. Our teams were in the same conference and Mayberry's team (Tulsa Rogers) would go one to beat us in the 5A Oklahoma State Semi Finals (51-49). Although booting us, I was still a Fan of Mayberry. I thought the May-Day combo was going to shred the NBA as well, like they was doing for the Razorback's. Both of these guys were nice on the court.
I played AAU ball for Todd ….Dude was a real competitor…. Idk if yall know back in 2009-2010 high school coaches use to try in put you in a box 6’5 or better … I got with Todd he help build my confidence though the roof…. He use to always say “You not at your High school when you play for me you hoop” as a young boy we all took that and ran with it… His Stepdad is a coaching legend in Memphis…. His son and him coach in college together living a good life
That’s dope. I remember when I was a young man… Vegas vs Arkansas. The Amoeba Defense vs 40 Minutes of Hell. Todd Day was one of the few cats that wasn’t scared of Vegas. I thought he was going to kill in the nba. From your report, I’m glad he is doing well👈🏿🫡💯
@@slimmsayton the first time I watched this game was as a kid years later (94 or 95) on VHS because my cousin recorded a bunch of games when he was in college. I was in heaven watching NBA players when they were in college.
40 minutes of hell….wow, the memories. Nolan Richardson had those young men ready to go every game. Some of those Memphis State/Arkansas Razorbacks games back in the day were epic. Nice video ✌🏾
you make sense and no disrespect but i did do and will EQUALLY SOMEWHAT like cambridge high and the knicks ALMOST as much as power memorial high ucla and the bucks because i did do and will really LOVE star patrick ewing ALMOST as much as legend kareem abdul-jabbar
Thank you I have been asking for a Todd Day video for a long time. I thought he was gonna set the NBA on fire. Been a fan of his since his Arkansas days in my opinion going to the bucks was a major setback in his career
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. I remember in the summer of 1994, Terry Porter thought that he was going to get traded to Milwaukee, his hometown. Well, with Portland needing a young scoring shooting guard, I really wanted the Blazers to get Todd Day! IF I heard correctly, in 1996-97, Todd Day "rolled his eyes" when Pat Riley took him out of a game. The next day, during practice, Pat Riley called everybody over, and said, "Todd, you have been waived!"
This is dope. I always wondered what happened to Day. Hey have you done Travis Best? Would he qualify? I think I remember a story of him scoring 80+ points in high school once. I’ve always been a fan of GAtech point guards and I expected a lot more from him.
Todd Day was that dude back in the day at Hamilton High School, my old High School was a rival back in the day (Southside High School) that rivalry was one of the best Games in Memphis
Use to come to school hollering 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝘿𝙖𝙮! 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝘿𝙖𝙮! In the 𝘽𝙄𝙂 "𝙊" (Osceola High) also reppin Oliver Miller. After the Razorbacks won. That was the Arkansas team that was supposed to win the state it's first championship! That team was actually better than the 94 team but so was the competition. That team ranked up with the best UNLV, Michigan, Duke, Kentucky, N. Carolina, etc. Stayed in the top 10, more so top 5 with a few #1 ranks in the country. Lee Mayberry played in Milwaukee too. If I'm not mistaking he has a few 40 + pt games.
I saw him play once in high school. Our schools were rivals. He was the talk of the city at the time. His name was buzzing. He definitely didn’t live up to his potential. But he was a good guy. Never got into any trouble. His desire for greatness didn’t match his talents. Thanks for sharing.
I've been in Memphis all my life 63yrs old and can say this he was one of the best to come out of Memphis ever his stepfather wanted coach Larry finch job ❤❤❤❤😂
The fact this video never said the phrase "MAY-DAY" tells me it wasnt very well researched. Especically since Lee Mayberry wasnt only his college teammate thru that great run, but was also drafted in 1st round by Milwaukee as well.
I played against Todd in pick up tournaments back when we were in college and against him at our Life Center gymnasium at our church many years later. Good dude and was a real shooter with range.
Good video, Bruh! A good lesson for future players! Seemingly black-balled! I appreciate you highlighting the need to shift to becoming a specialist! Brother Day was truly a talent! Guys like him have kids that make it to the NBA and level-up the family name as it applies to hoops! Dad made all the mistakes and steers their sons away from such pitfalls!
What about Jonathon Simmons? Had a good run with the Spurs and looked like he had some great potential. Then had a couple stints with the sixers and magic afterwards, and then out the league playing overseas now. What happened?
In the same day I got videos on Keith Van Horn and Todd Day. That’s good Basketball. On a separate note, I’m just sayin we never seen Todd Day and Todd 1 on the same scene at the same time. (Yeah we old na so 🤷🏾♂️)
This might be a hot take, but maybe Devante Graham could be a stunted growth, or is having his growth stunted! He was hooping for charlotte before he got traded. Maybe I’m reaching cause my name Devante too lol
Hey Stunted Growth, you should do a video about Michigan's Sean Higgins. He was a 6'9" small forward that could run the floor and shoot the three. He would have fit in better in today's NBA. He had about a 6-year career.
Todd was a good player and that was it he never lived up to his pick in the draft teams always thought he would get to the next step in be a special player but he never broke through and giving Pat freaking Riley ultimatums was not a good idea.
My family are Razorbacks fans and I became a Bucks fan because of Todd Day. As the vid brings out, there were just too many potent SGs in the league at the time. The Bucks best player (Blue Edwards) and best bench player (Ricky Pierce) were SGs when Todd got there. And he was basically replaced by Ray Allen. He was big enough to play SF, but they had Big Dog for that. Oh well. He was still fun to watch.
@Stunted Growth Good video bro. Didn't expect this one. I remember watching UNLV vs Arkansas back in 1991, he played his ass off. Had they faced each other again in the 1991 Final Four, I think Arkansas would've beat them
You realize that UNLV went to Arkansas in Feb 1991 and handled The Razorbacks even after Larry Johnson got ejected with about 2 mins left. Were up 10 with 20 secs left. Won 112-105 but it wasn’t even that close. Full game on RUclips. Larry Johnson had 25 & 14 and Day had 26 & 10 before their ejections
He’s from my hometown - homie had a bad attitude coming up . My pops used to tell me stories of how back in high school ppl used to say “It’s a New Day” whenever he touched the court. Shit clearly went to bro head.
Todd Was A Legend In The 90's He Average 50+ points in those Bluff City Classic Summer Games In Memphis. He Murdered Shaq LSU & Larry Johnson UNLV In College.
JT, I thought these two guys had high potential. Both came in the league as upperclassmen and lead their teams to NCAA success. We need Stunted Growth episodes on Chris Duarte and Isaiah Livers.
I remember when Day was here in Milwaukee. He never missed a night out at the clubs-or the ladies that went with them. Lazy, would be an understatement. He didn't try very hard to get better and was reluctant to put on some weight. A terrible waste of potential.
You should do a Jay Edwards video! He was a troubled star at Indiana, super talented but never seemed to live up to his potential. Another great one would be Labradford Smith out of Louisville! Another “the next Jordan” type player. How about a two piece out of UCLA, Toby Bailey and Charles O’Bannon
Hard to tell from that anecdote with Miami, but do you suppose Riles brought Day in specifically to dismiss him in a grand, theatrical gesture? Like, to make an example of him? To demonstrate to the team that anybody could get cut at the drop of a hat? He was only there for preseason and a few weeks of the regular season, and shot about 40% by that point, so he wasn’t likely to beat Voshon Lenard or Majerle for playing time. Meanwhile Riley made his bones in LA so he knew the power of showmanship. Just sayin. 😁
Dont forget....Vin Baker came in the next year, then Big Dog Glen Robinson after that. Bakers quick development as the 2nd option after Robinson affected Day's role and expectations for him on the team dwindled. They could have had a nice "BIG 3" if the Bucks didn't give up on Day.🧐
Can do you a video on Rodney McCrae? When he got to the Bulls, he totally lost his confidence and there was rumors Jordan ran him out the league. He was a force with the Rockets, Kings, and Mavs tho.
Seems he caught a couple raw deals Pat Riley basically chasing out the door with a bat, and being taken out before breaking a record held by Bird, solely because it was taboo to go try and outdo the Almighty great one. 😅
Another good one as always 💯

yezsuh mane, todd good people mane
That’s dope. I was a big fan of his when he was at Arkansas. One of my favorite college teams of all time. Glad he is doing well.
No Cap Detected:That's Definitely Him
Great video. I remember him and Lee Mayberry was giving folks the business in college. Next Sherman Douglas.
The General.👍🏾
MayDay was a solid backcourt
Facts
Need to do one on Georgetown point guard Charles smith aka SMITTY drafted by the Celtics or his brother curt trouble smith dc legends
Oliver Miller was on that team too. One of Arkansas best.
I always remember Todd Day from NBA Jam
Same.
I remember him from nba jam, tecmo basketball and live 95
Exactly 💯
I love watching old highlights of those early 90s Arkansas teams. I watch that 1991 (2)Arkansas vs (1)UNLV game on RUclips regularly. 😅
Same I watch that and Loyola Marymount vs UnLV and vs Michigan
Is that the game when Todd Day almost fought Larry Johnson?
@@slimmsayton yup😅
@@TheBackOfTheClassroom I remember watching that game on Channel Nine when I was in high school
@@slimmsayton the first time I watched this game was as a kid years later (94 or 95) on VHS because my cousin recorded a bunch of games when he was in college. I was in heaven watching NBA players when they were in college.

Love it
Eric Murdock Lee Mayberry and Todd Day all slept on
No they not Herb Kohl should took hometown Sprewell over Day but dam for sure over Mayberry
No they're not, they weren't good enough to be great in the nba.
That 92 draft class was good but left a lot to be desired. Day is one of those examples. Not sure I’d call him a bust but underachieving for sure.
He was solid for the Bucks. I seen him have a few good games against my Knicks while being with the Bucks.
you make sense and no disrespect but i did do and will EQUALLY SOMEWHAT like cambridge high and the knicks ALMOST as much as power memorial high ucla and the bucks because i did do and will really LOVE star patrick ewing ALMOST as much as legend kareem abdul-jabbar
Todd Day was on of my favorite players growing up, he would really do well in today's NBA, he was a bucket.
Thank you I have been asking for a Todd Day video for a long time. I thought he was gonna set the NBA on fire. Been a fan of his since his Arkansas days in my opinion going to the bucks was a major setback in his career
I believe I was the first one to ask for this thank you my guy keep em coming

Dang Riles didn’t play back then or now 😄
They're being polite when they call it "Heat Culture."

He did him already.👍🏾

MAY-DAY
Mayberry and Todd Day in college and then they both got drafted to Milwaukee too.
Arkansas boy!!!
Memphis Tennessee’s finest!
Thanks for finally doing a vid on him. Always wondered what happened to him. Enjoyed his in college and in the league
Thank you! I’ve always wondered what happened to him. That was the best draft class. My guy was Walt Williams.
Thx for the video. Speaking of Arkansas, could you do one on Corliss “Big Nasty” Williamson. Thx!
Great video. One of my favorite college players growing up.
He had improved as a scorer every year. He had Improved as a scorer every year.
JT, this is why I subscribe.👍🏾
Haven't heard this name in years. Completely forgot about him. Dude was nice!
I only remember this dude from NBA Jam.
will always remember when i attended his basketball camp in Memphis back in the 90s as a kid.
Memphis Legend
Todd All Day was that deal for Arkansas
I was at every Aeros game. Mayberry played for us. We merged and Day came too. Both would hang out with me after games. Excellent dudes.
TODD DAY NATURAL STATE OFFICIAL 👑💯🔥
Todd Day was the best player in college in his years! I saw him drop 41 points! He was awesome!
Wow I'm about 6 years older than him but I never heard of him before today ever!
Cause you don’t know basketball! How you never heard of Todd Day?
Great video as always! Could you do one on Teddy Dupay? That dude was lights out
I saw him play once in high school. Our schools were rivals. He was the talk of the city at the time. His name was buzzing. He definitely didn’t live up to his potential. But he was a good guy. Never got into any trouble. His desire for greatness didn’t match his talents. Thanks for sharing.
Your schools were rivals. Did you happen to go to Melrose?
As a Celtics fan, I remembered Todd Day on those dark years when ML Carr was coaching. Mid-late 90s were difficult years to be a C's fan
I've been in Memphis all my life 63yrs old and can say this he was one of the best to come out of Memphis ever his stepfather wanted coach Larry finch job ❤❤❤❤😂
The fact this video never said the phrase "MAY-DAY" tells me it wasnt very well researched.
Especically since Lee Mayberry wasnt only his college teammate thru that great run, but was also drafted in 1st round by Milwaukee as well.
I remember him, definitely had potential, just never lived up to the hype.
Salute!🫡
Todd Day, Tony Dumas, Richard Dumas, three victims of the 1990s
90s had some serious talent
please tell me the details
We need one on Lamond murray
I played against Todd in pick up tournaments back when we were in college and against him at our Life Center gymnasium at our church many years later. Good dude and was a real shooter with range.
Marcus Hatten! (St. John’s)
Tood Day and Lee Mayberry were the first dudes I saw do a Hop Step/Jump Stop in a game..
Wow the mighty Todd Day ..Mayday was that tandem
Only 8 seasons that’s a solid career but I understand as a 10 top ten pick a lot more is inspected and invested
He was the 8th pick.
The average carrier of an nba player is 4 years
Good video, Bruh! A good lesson for future players! Seemingly black-balled! I appreciate you highlighting the need to shift to becoming a specialist! Brother Day was truly a talent!

Heck yeah
From Memphis Tennessee
I remember Larry Bird saying Todd Day didn’t learn the play book .
In the same day I got videos on Keith Van Horn and Todd Day. That’s good Basketball. On a separate note, I’m just sayin we never seen Todd Day and Todd 1 on the same scene at the same time. (Yeah we old na so 🤷🏾♂️)
I met him when I was young boy. He was a nice guy when he played for the Celtics.
Love the content. How about Danny Fortson, and Anthony Tucker
Good one to do I thought he would be great in the pros .. Like the videos, watched all of them .. keep them coming thanks
That Nolan Richardson coached MayDay 40 minutes of hell team was something special!
This might be a hot take, but maybe Devante Graham could be a stunted growth, or is having his growth stunted! He was hooping for charlotte before he got traded. Maybe I’m reaching cause my name Devante too lol
He's a good one.
Todd was a bucket in college .. I definitely thought he’d do better.
On point once again.
Great upload!
Now do James Hollywood Robinson from Alabama. There was a legendary battle between him and this dude!! It was EPIC!!!
Hey Stunted Growth, you should do a video about Michigan's Sean Higgins. He was a 6'9" small forward that could run the floor and shoot the three. He would have fit in better in today's NBA. He had about a 6-year career.

JT we need one on Ivan Rabb and Isaiah Todd. Two can't miss prospects that somehow missed.
Hey JC is it possible to do a video on Ndudi Ebi? "The LeBron stopper"?
@Stunted Growth

I always liked Todd Day. Good ballplayer

He got took out a game to keep bird record is crazy
Bruh, people in Boston called him "Larry Legend". The coach don't want that kind of smoke.😂
JT, I thought these two guys had high potential. Both came in the league as upperclassmen and lead their teams to NCAA success. We need Stunted Growth episodes on Chris Duarte and Isaiah Livers.
Todd Day was that guy back in college
He was a great High School and Collegiate player. He had decent NBA career.
All these Memphis guys have a video.... crazy 🥴🥴🥴〽️〽️〽️〽️
Todd Day is an Arkansas legend. He'll never have to buy his own meal in Fayetteville.
T D Memphis legend and good golfer
I can’t believe he was a few picks ahead of Spreewell in the 1992 draft
Today we talk about Todd Day
Did Todd Day play with Lee Mayberry at Arkansas?
U got to do Eddie Robinson chicago bulls
Todd Day…he was nice in early 90s
I remember when Day was here in Milwaukee. He never missed a night out at the clubs-or the ladies that went with them. Lazy, would be an understatement. He didn't try very hard to get better and was reluctant to put on some weight. A terrible waste of potential.
Seems to be all the other stuff that stunts their growth the most, not the basketball stuff. Time spent there, is time NOT spent getting better.
Riley is old school like Bob knight these players can’t handle that
He was giving people like Penny 50 pieces at the Shelby Classic
Arkansas legend!!!
You should do a Jay Edwards video! He was a troubled star at Indiana, super talented but never seemed to live up to his potential. Another great one would be Labradford Smith out of Louisville!

Attitude..........attitude ...........to whom much is given etc etcetc
@stuntedgrowth: have you done Richard Dumas??
Dumas was on drugs I think!
Do Terrence Williams, Earl Clark, Russ Smith, Peyton Siva, Wayne Blackshear all from Louisville
next video.. Lee Mayberry.... no way you can mentioned Todd Day without talking about Lee Mayberry..
Seems he caught a couple raw deals Pat Riley basically chasing out the door with a bat, and being taken out before breaking a record held by Bird, solely because it was taboo to go try and outdo the Almighty great one. 😅
Do one on blue edwards of the bucks
