I think the most notable thing about Mashburn, forget the fact he was a great on and off the court - never got into criminal trouble like most athletes and never ran into child support divorce settlement or other stereotypical athletes, most importantly the guy was a business whiz. Unlike Magic Johnson, he didn't necessarily quite have the fame and longevity of an NBA career to be as financially successful as he is. But his net worth now at 75 million is UNHEARD of for athletes and it's all due many of his smart savvy decisions in his life. So, besides the fact he was a great athlete, I just have a lot of respect for him as a person.
xele fonte I'm pretty sure only a small minority of athletes ever get into criminal trouble. And I can't even tell you the last athlete I heard of having divorce issues. So what are you talking about?
It’s actually only a few athletes that get into trouble like that. The media highlights them so much when it does happen that people confuse that with the majority which is a common average person thinking mistake Many of the few who are in the biggest popularity spotlight do get into trouble tho
Mashburn was my favorite rookie in '94. He could've been one of the greats if it weren't for injuries. A shame! I'm still a fan! Thanks for posting this video! "Mashburn, and one!"
Loved Mashburn. He was at UK when I was ('91-'93) and he was a stud college player. Had a very respectable pro career, as well. I don't know if he was the best UK player ever, but he's certainly in the conversation. I probably liked Monster Mash the best, overall. So many great UK guys though besides him, like Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Rajon Rondo, etc. Plus, the newer guys like John Wall, Brandon Knight, and DeMarcus Cousins. Like Coach Cal says, this is KENTUCKY. ;)
Not the best UK player ever, but certainly one of the most liked since he was actually a really good guy off the court. I would defiantly say he was the best UK player of the 90's.
this guy's game was influential to all of basketball , i think he of the first one who show us the complete inside outside game , he can handle he had a lot of post moves he can shoot 3s he can move without the ball , he can play 2 and 3 even 4 , he always under control , i think his game influenced paul pierce and carmelo
@@biggfine7334And ppl claim Pippen is the GOAT perimeter defender, LMAO. He constantly got lit up against star SFs and only did well guarding role players.
Would've had a HoF career EASY if not for those damn injuries! Mashburn's offensive game reminds me of Mark Aguirre and Glen Rice if those two had their genes spliced together (lol). Just a shame that young Mavs trio of him, Jason Kidd, and Jim Jackson never panned out. They certainly had a lot to offer back then:::sigh:::
If he hadn’t got hurt after his first 2 years in Dallas he would’ve been a HOF no doubt. Dude was putting up 24 in the mid 90s in his second year, he’s def one of the New Orleans Hornets greats
@@mrblackstar74 you know some of the could be true. But he did have the ball a lot. I think he couldn't handle being the 3rd wheel. He balled out with the Hornets where he was the main guy. But those Miami Heat training camps and seasons toughened him up. Made him a better player
He was just coming of that horrible injury his body wasn't there yet and he was sharing time with thunder Dan who is not on Tha Monsters level. I do agree if they used him more they were the only team to stop Mikes Bulls. A walking bucket even on one leg!!!!!
He was scoring career high ppg and single game career high and retired. Ive never seen that before. The best player ive seen never make an all star game.
And yeah he had a 50-point game against the bulls and the regular season and didn't do Jackson 💩 against them when it came to the playoffs and neither did none of the rest of their players they took them out in five and swept them the year before when this dude was with the Miami heat
It sucks when players this good get hampered by injuries. Why couldn't God give those injuries to a less talented player who also happened to be an asshole lol

Mark Aguirre was the OG Jamal Mashburn
Mashburn was severely underrated. Great tough shot shooter too and clutch.
my favorite player in NBA LIVE 05
What makes it more impressive is that he had Shane Battier guarding him for most of the game, who was one of the best defensive players at the time.
this
He did it on one leg
Had a 50 point game early and late in his career. That's impressive
James Matthews against Pippen and the Bulls . He ate Pippen up . The game is on RUclips
@@biggfine7334And ppl claim Pippen is the GOAT perimeter defender, LMAO. He constantly got lit up against star SFs and only did well guarding role players.
Yeah but what did he do in the playoffs against him nothing@@biggfine7334
@@Theterminato2013oh you don't have a clue what you're talking about zoomer
Mid range and post game was tough

probably the ONLY player to score 50 on 2 premiere defenders in the NBA (Pippen & Battier)
My go-to in NBA BALLERS
A 3 with crazy post game and a SICK handle. 6'8" 250lbs. Without the injuries he was Lebron before King James had hair on his pills!
People say he was more like melo before melo
@@stackboostuploads Melo would be more of a fair comparison
Beautiful
#BBN!! The monster mash!!
the Monster Mash !!
Sad to think he would retire just a year after this at the age of 32 due to injuries.
Mashburn now runs abunch of businesses. Good head on his shoulders.
50 point club, baby!
Man why couldn't he play like this in Miami when we desperately needed him too.
James Matthews Pat Riley Structured offense and Ego maniacs like Zo and Hardaway
Riley put chains on him
@@mrblackstar74 you know some of the could be true. But he did have the ball a lot. I think he couldn't handle being the 3rd wheel. He balled out with the Hornets where he was the main guy. But those Miami Heat training camps and seasons toughened him up. Made him a better player
He barely played lol he had 1 season in Miami where he played over 50 games. He couldn’t stay on the floor
He was just coming of that horrible injury his body wasn't there yet and he was sharing time with thunder Dan who is not on Tha Monsters level. I do agree if they used him more they were the only team to stop Mikes Bulls. A walking bucket even on one leg!!!!!
Mashburn gives me Melo vibes with his game style ✔
Also C. Butler.
Mashburn was like MJ lite-lite on offense
He was scoring career high ppg and single game career high and retired. Ive never seen that before. The best player ive seen never make an all star game.
This dude was a lot better before he got injured
wow
And yeah he had a 50-point game against the bulls and the regular season and didn't do Jackson 💩 against them when it came to the playoffs and neither did none of the rest of their players they took them out in five and swept them the year before when this dude was with the Miami heat
This was my first hornets game
He has a better post game than lebron. Lol
It sucks when players this good get hampered by injuries. Why couldn't God give those injuries to a less talented player who also happened to be an asshole lol
Wishing injuries to someone just shows how evil-hearted you are!
He did but none of them made it to the NBA
did i just hear the sound of a motorbike in the beginning of this video?
Jordan brought me here
Wow go Hornets
Then hit a game winner the next night in Detroit
Would've been mvp multiple times easy
