These guys had some of the best chemistry I have ever seen on a sports team and were obviously having so much fun playing together. It made is really fun to be a fan watching them!
@@ScottParisi That must have been awesome. I'm in the SF bay area so I was a warriors fan. Back when they were losing all the time. Philly was next. I hated Boston and LA and absolutely loved it when the 76ers swept them.
@@ScottParisi Yeah, they keep picking up some really good players. I thought philly was going to win a few more titles back then. Especially after they drafted Barkley. I saw him play a preseason game in Oakland in his first year. He was a beast.
The day the Warriors traded Mitch Richmond to the Kings for Billy Owens was one of the darkest days of the franchise. Nelly must have been smoking his medicinal weed when he made this deal. Oh what could have been :(
Billy Owens..... the next Magic Johnson. A forward with ball and passing skills of Magic. hahaha. Never happened!! Warriors could have had Mutombo or Steve Smith instead of Billy Owens. That trade made no sense when the Warriors had Mullin in small forward when Owens was in the same position.
HRH O he’s just a white guy why does he have to be black? Like it’s a compliment if he’s black?? Wtf difference does it make ? If he’s a cool dude wtf his skin color matter? It’s not a compliment to call a white man black or vice versa
Jon D'oh I agree with what you’re saying about how it’s okay for everyone but whites to be racist. But the guy who made the post is obviously joking. This is why comedy is dead. Thanks to SJW/cancel culture always crying about everything being racist.
The biggest mistake Don Nelson ever made was trading Richmond if they had stayed together they would've at least been threats to represent the west each year
Im a knicks fan but growing up in ny chris mullin was my guy and when i got to watch these 3 i was tuned in . remember u couldnt watch out of region games on the internet or dish or whatever . loved those days
When Hardaway had the ball (and Richmond and Mullin but especially Hardaway) people flocked towards the TV set like when Bonds or Reggie Jackson was up to bat or Montana was leading a drive. I mean literally everyone old and young stopped whatever it was they were doing and started watching. The best version of the Warriors ever included Run TMC. Great video. Thank you. Oh and how 'bout that 80's Hairdo on Steve Albert? LOL Priceless... 👍🏀
Loved every second of this video. I am a Lakers fan. That said, I wish, one day, Tim and Mitch get wider recognition that they deserve. Mitch is equal to MJ. Tim is a smaller version of Magic. Love them, All three of them.
They probably woulda never got Webber and sprewell. They woulda been making the playoffs every year. If they stayed together they might have been able to make a run in 95, that much I do believe
Early 90s to '95 NBA ball was ball playing at it's peak. These guys (not just these 3), but the teams ran as teams. It wasn't an individual stat padding, team star building/buying time. Best time to watch the NBA, I was too young for 80s NBA, but after seeing some games on here, no doubt it was an equally amazing time. Today it seems more about flashy shit and and getting the highlight.
I loved Chris Mullin ever since he was on Dream Team, though I was not a Warriors fan. His haircut, him shooting lefty and having a sweet shooting stroke is what got me to fall in love with his playing style and emulate in gyms along with other top shooters in the 90s. Loved MJ more, but he defied gravity.
@@sonicthehedgehog3162 the game was very different, it was rough, hardnosed and threes were not what they are now. IMO, Klay would still be great, he'd have to go hard to the hole more. The other way around -- RUN TMC in today's league -- I think they'd still be pretty awesome with Mitch and Mullen able to shoot from anywhere and with Tim able to control the ball and out muscle any other guard in the league.
Damn, watching these old school sports docs are so refreshing. No shoehorning political agendas into the game, only talking about the games and players, what made them great etc. Also, I forgot how awesome Ahmad Rashaad was at his job. I used to watch inside the NBA all the time as a kid and it was such a great show. Can't really get into the NBA these days as the players are all primadonna babies that would get their asses kicked by all these old school players.
The Mitch Richmond trade for Billy Owens was such a huge mistake. Some people thought Billy Owens would be the next Magic Johnson. Sometimes you make a gamble and it turns out, but to trade a future Hall of Famer for unicorn potential is almost always going to be the wrong decision.
The free food thing! I live in Orlando and the deal here was if the Magic scored 100 points or more we had a Mac Attack which was a free Big Mac with your ticket stub. During the Shaq and Penny years they had to up to 110 cause they were giving away too many lol.
Man love this piece right here , this was dope !! Although Run TMC didn't win no 🏆these boys were balling . I remember all the fake Jordan bandwagon bulls fan & loyal Lakers fans in HS used to give me hell repping my Warriors lol . The Texas 2 Step , Mullin were my dudes & Mitch was a beast .
When Nelly was head coach of the Bucks, he had a pretty good trio with Sidney Moncrief, Paul Pressey, and Terry Cummings! Not on the level of Run TMC, but pretty damn good!
I'm only 18 so I never saw these guys play. However I respect this trio more than any that have come after this. These guys had swag and they revolutionized the game. Lots of teams started playing fast tempo and high scoring and these really started that phonomen.
Those were my college years. They were definitely an entertaining and high scoring team then but the organization couldn't get out of their own way due to trades(Mitch Richmond, Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, draft picks that didn't plan out like Billy Owens, Joe Smith, Donyell Marshall, letting their young players go just to get better on other teams like Tyrone Hill, Chris Gatling, Mario Ellie, Vincent Askew. They would have never won a championship trying to get past Portland, Phoenix, and Houston just to face Chicago in the finals. It reminds me of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Still a fun up and coming young team with coach Don Nelson creating a unique style of play to the NBA that todays Houston Rockets try to use every year only to fail in the end.
They are the first team to have trio in nba history. Usually nba has only duo but because of them the nba revolunized of having trio like mj, pippen, rodman
The Run TMC Warriors and the Zo, LJ, Muggsy hornets were two of the most entertaining teams in the 90s. And the supporting casts: GSW had guys like Bol, Marciallunnas, Tolbert, Gatling, Lister, pressey Charlotte had Curry, Kendall Gill, Rex Chapman, I think Tolbert played in charlotte too, Rambis I think, You know what? Throw in that Cavs team with Price, Kerr, Ehlo and Daugherty too
i had two jerseys as a kid 1 was Hardaway n the other was Stockton so guess what position i played lol. but if timmy never blew out his knee that 1 year he might have a ring now.
It really is a shame they traded Mitch....With the Lakers getting older/Magic retiring in the early 90s, had they kept this trio together, they would've had good chances to win the west going into that decade...Would they have been better than the Suns, Blazers & rockets, who all got to the finals in the years when those warriors players were all in their primes? Who knows. But, it would've been really cool to see those potential battles in the playoffs.
It's sad that kids today, even GSW fans are oblivious to this team. And don't realize that what their team is doing now isn't anything revolutionary. This Run TMC team was as uptempo as it gets.
Billy Owens..... why? Billy Owens the next Magic Johnson? Billy Owens was going to match up against Magic? Marciulionis, Mario Ellie, Tyrone Hill we great role players. A time when most teams had a double double centre a good big man was easy to find.
They were great individual talents, but they underachieved like crazy. They had a good team for a few years but it was never great, they were never higher than the 3rd seed in the playoffs and they couldn't get out of the semifinals.
They traded Mitch for Billy Owens who Don Nelson thought would be perfect at POINT forward... an experiment that never turned out. Trading Richmond was a huge mistake and Warriors fans paid the price...😒
They played together for only 3 seasons but had so much fun. It showed during the games. Does not matter that they did not win any titles, they were an inspiration to many aspiring basketball players. Go out, work hard, have fun.
blaq7427 yeah, except they weren't as memorable as Run TMC. Everyone knows these guys because they were that more entertaining. People will also remember those meh Suns teams with Nash and these Lob City Clippers (who have no chance of winning anything). There is a difference.
These guys had some of the best chemistry I have ever seen on a sports team and were obviously having so much fun playing together. It made is really fun to be a fan watching them!
Mitch Richmond. One of the most under rated players ever. Him and Andrew Tony were my favorite players
Mitch was a beast in Sacramento too. Just never on any good teams until he got to LA at the end of his career
Loved Andrew Toney. I grew up in Philadelphia during the Toney Era.
@@ScottParisi That must have been awesome. I'm in the SF bay area so I was a warriors fan. Back when they were losing all the time. Philly was next. I hated Boston and LA and absolutely loved it when the 76ers swept them.
@@ubb4me, it was an incredible time. You're loaded with success of late for sure
@@ScottParisi Yeah, they keep picking up some really good players. I thought philly was going to win a few more titles back then. Especially after they drafted Barkley. I saw him play a preseason game in Oakland in his first year. He was a beast.
Great joke at the end by mitch that no one heard, he said "now we're Walk TMC" lol
😂 Yeah cause of Hardaway
watching ahmad rashad takes me back to being in junior high, saturdays off getting my nba scoop
Best show
missing the inside stuff.
T hardaway was one of my fav players as a kid
Grew up in Alameda, went to several games too watch run TMC. They were my heros

Billy Owens sucked ass
Priceless.... when the NBA was fun to watch. And, I’m not even a warrior but enjoyed watching this trio when they played
Chris Mullin is a black man dripped in white chocolate! That brother is one of the homes! Lol. Love it.
HRH O he’s just a white guy why does he have to be black? Like it’s a compliment if he’s black?? Wtf difference does it make ? If he’s a cool dude wtf his skin color matter? It’s not a compliment to call a white man black or vice versa
He is so bk
I remember watching Mullin play. I always thought he would sound like a square white guy.
I just found out a few days ago he’s from NY.
Jon D'oh I agree with what you’re saying about how it’s okay for everyone but whites to be racist. But the guy who made the post is obviously joking. This is why comedy is dead. Thanks to SJW/cancel culture always crying about everything being racist.
Racist
The biggest mistake Don Nelson ever made was trading Richmond if they had stayed together they would've at least been threats to represent the west each year
they just needed a couple of solid bigs they're bench were pretty solid to marcuilionis was a solid backup 90s ginobili
But then they would never got sprewell
If they don’t get Spree, he doesn’t ruin his career choking PJ Carlesimo.
Definitely dud!. May be they win at least one championship
They remind me of okc a lot
Only smart NBA fans in the comment section. I love it.
Im a knicks fan but growing up in ny chris mullin was my guy and when i got to watch these 3 i was tuned in . remember u couldnt watch out of region games on the internet or dish or whatever . loved those days
90's NBA inside stuff. Miss those days.
The original splash brothers
Maybe.. Cavs price ehlo Kerr could have said they was splash brothers too
U mean da original trio they couldn’t really shoot but could fs ball out
@@JoePuig they could all shoot lmao
@@blaqdiemenz 💯

Damn..... what a squad they were, but they were missing the big man inside though.
Great video. Mully and his ability to "leak" made him the inspiration for the Ball Brothers.
Loved every second of this video. I am a Lakers fan. That said, I wish, one day, Tim and Mitch get wider recognition that they deserve. Mitch is equal to MJ. Tim is a smaller version of Magic. Love them, All three of them.
Equal to MJ?... umm, not quite. One of the most criminally underrated players of all time but let's not get carried away.
As an old school Warriors fan I appreciate that coming from a Lakers fan. Respect
If gsw wait 2 years they would have had a starting 5 of hardaway, mullin, Richmond, sprewell and webber.
charismatic9904 god damn I never thought about that ! Damn
they would be a lil to good to land webber that early in the draft
Yes sir
They probably woulda never got Webber and sprewell. They woulda been making the playoffs every year. If they stayed together they might have been able to make a run in 95, that much I do believe
Nah they would not been in the draft position to do it.. And spree and Richmond play the same position

Jordan had a difficulty guarding Mitch, one of the very few..
Straight from MJ's mouth too
Sometimes GMs don't take advantage of the chemistry they have on the court. It's a real shame they didn't get to stay together longer.
When today's Warriors "fans" have never heard of Run TMC. :-/
giantkiller56 right! That's why I can't stand GS, it's filled with a bunch of bandwagoners just like Miami was a few years ago.
real ones from the Bay Area do! Dub Nation knows. They Got Broken up too soon 3 seasons wasn’t enough smh
Best trio ever. Tim was Out of this world. Mullin is a straight baller. And Mitch is Mitch. Best days of my basketball youth watching them
Great great memories. Trading Mitch is one of the biggest trade blunders ever. One of the most underrated players because he was traded to sac
Golden State administration better learn from breaking up run tmc. If they fuck up the splash brothers I'm going to be so mad.
They almost did. They were going to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love.
Jamal Mays I Wonder How Klay Thompson Would Fare With Run TMC
@@sonicthehedgehog3162 the game was very different, it was rough, hardnosed and threes were not what they are now. IMO, Klay would still be great, he'd have to go hard to the hole more.

GS has their thing of having sum of da best trios of all time😤
One of the worst front offices up until recently.
Wow, Nelson let them play motion offense like open gym in NBA games. He knew they were cold as hell. 😂😂😂

👑👑👑👑👑Here 20 Feb 2019....watching the GREATS!!!!👑👑👑👑👑
A few more years together with a touched up front court may have been enough for a title. Webber comes to mind.
Tim and Mitch still look in their 30's
They were right up there with Showtime Lakers exciting basketball.
The free food thing! I live in Orlando and the deal here was if the Magic scored 100 points or more we had a Mac Attack which was a free Big Mac with your ticket stub. During the Shaq and Penny years they had to up to 110 cause they were giving away too many lol.
This had me in tears!…..
Four greats got to love it
Tim Hardaway my guy
Man love this piece right here , this was dope !! Although Run TMC didn't win no 🏆these boys were balling . I remember all the fake Jordan bandwagon bulls fan & loyal Lakers fans in HS used to give me hell repping my Warriors lol . The Texas 2 Step , Mullin were my dudes & Mitch was a beast .
When Nelly was head coach of the Bucks, he had a pretty good trio with Sidney Moncrief, Paul Pressey, and Terry Cummings! Not on the level of Run TMC, but pretty damn good!
Absolutely....Marques Johnson was also on some of those teams. Those Bucks teams were really good, but the east at that time was just SO loaded.
still got my Mullin 17 jersey, but i had a excellent crossover
Chris Mullen old school klay but Tim hardaway the goat for me just cause I’m a fan
I'm only 18 so I never saw these guys play. However I respect this trio more than any that have come after this. These guys had swag and they revolutionized the game. Lots of teams started playing fast tempo and high scoring and these really started that phonomen.
I'm glad mitch got a ring with the Lakers, and finally Tim finally got into the HOF in 2022. Wish Chris got a ring
Yup, free pizza. These guys were fun to watch back in the day.
this is way way better than the main-stream superhero franchise,,,also Tim's voice is just so darn black man,,,west coast y'all
Out of the three of them chris mullin my fav he could score and pass better than almost any sf i also like tim and mitch but mullin was the main man
These guys should have a ship or 2
Those were my college years. They were definitely an entertaining and high scoring team then but the organization couldn't get out of their own way due to trades(Mitch Richmond, Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, draft picks that didn't plan out like Billy Owens, Joe Smith, Donyell Marshall, letting their young players go just to get better on other teams like Tyrone Hill, Chris Gatling, Mario Ellie, Vincent Askew.

Never should of traded Mitch!!!👈👈
They got sprewell so it's even .
22:03 Timmy let’s it be known. Could still beat anybody to this day!
Mitch got traded... but they got Spree and C-Webb later on... but... same shit happened
RESPECT💪💯💪💯💪💯
Thanks for being just guys, y'all. RESPECT💪💯💪💯💪💯
Marciulionis.
chris lost a lot of hood creed with those sandals
Chris got more streetcred than he could ever give away
Still has twice as much as you
i had two jerseys as a kid 1 was Hardaway n the other was Stockton so guess what position i played lol. but if timmy never blew out his knee that 1 year he might have a ring now.

Is tim an R&B singer 💀💀💀
Funny how they mention Mitch Richmond being the end of that team, yet the year after the Warriors won 55 games.
The run tmc warriors needed today's offensive style.. More 3 point shooting they would have been Lakers.. Portland... They needed to score more
thanks for the post.
no defense but fun to watch :)
It's sad that kids today, even GSW fans are oblivious to this team. And don't realize that what their team is doing now isn't anything revolutionary. This Run TMC team was as uptempo as it gets.
今のウォリアーズは凄いチームだけど………
私にとって好きなウォリアーズは間違いなくこの３人がいた時代‼️
Before steph, klay and kd
they should have kept these 3 and traded everything else they had for olajowon
Just imagine if Chris Webber was around at this time
Why do I always expect Chris Mullin to have a southern accent?
The Three Shootges
Šarūnas Marčiulionis was the best Warrior in the 90s
Great video......brutal audio. Bailed. But they were great. Thankfully I remember.....
Kinda like KD, Russ and Harden in Okc
Billy Owens..... why? Billy Owens the next Magic Johnson? Billy Owens was going to match up against Magic? Marciulionis, Mario Ellie, Tyrone Hill we great role players. A time when most teams had a double double centre a good big man was easy to find.
Chris Mullin the original "Tommy"
Was just about to post that comment. But it's so true
What A BiG 3
What a shame Richmond got banished to Sacramento, the Siberia of the NBA and toilet of the league
They were great individual talents, but they underachieved like crazy. They had a good team for a few years but it was never great, they were never higher than the 3rd seed in the playoffs and they couldn't get out of the semifinals.
Tim Hardaway sound like ice t a little.
Defense?
They traded Mitch for Billy Owens who Don Nelson thought would be perfect at POINT forward... an experiment that never turned out. Trading Richmond was a huge mistake and Warriors fans paid the price...😒
Mullin b cherry pickin like a bih!!
That's what happens when ppl don't get back on defense!
I think I smell CHRIS' feet!
Killers
Kd Westbrook harden the first generation gsw trade one of them there not the same team
All offense No defense cant win an NBA championship
Why are they celebrating these 3 when they accomplished nothing during their time together?
They played together for only 3 seasons but had so much fun. It showed during the games. Does not matter that they did not win any titles, they were an inspiration to many aspiring basketball players. Go out, work hard, have fun.
ingmar van der hoek
You can say that about any basketball team that didnt win anything
blaq7427 No you can't. Sports are competition but are also entertainment. These guys entertained.
Johnathan Konandreas
Yes you can
I can say the exact same thing about the Portland Trailblazers from the 90s they had fun they inspired people
blaq7427 yeah, except they weren't as memorable as Run TMC. Everyone knows these guys because they were that more entertaining. People will also remember those meh Suns teams with Nash and these Lob City Clippers (who have no chance of winning anything). There is a difference.
