- Derek Anderson was a favorite of mine and a lot of people that remember him before he got injured and flashes in the NBA. One of the best two feet jumpers I've seen, and when he gathered in the lane DON'T JUMP! with him! A smooth, natural hooper with gobs of potential that was prematurely taken away from him. What other things Stunted his Growth? Here's what I think.

Who remembers this guy! One of the smoothest shooting guards of the 90s. What else Stunted his Growth? Thanks for watching!
You've answered one of my requests from earlier this year I thought he had potential in the 2001 yr with Spurs I see. D.A. was always a big asterisk on his career (what if )injuries
That was my guy.. favorite player on that team...and he used to put that work in at the rucker too!!
@@deonmoore3968 I always rooted for Derek Andersen and the pre Cavs Larryhughes . They both had a smooth effortless looking game off the dribble as slasher 2guards .Derek Anderson had a better jumper and played with more heart then Hughes SOMETIMES.
defiantly smooth
@@carlwallace1129 yea...he had the type of game that made it look effortless..it made it seem like he had another gear he could go to!!. always was a D.A. fan!!
The amazing thing about this man's career was that he was able to maintain his athleticism and explosiveness after tearing BOTH acls. 😮 Him and Ron Mercer were like the college version of Jordan and Pippen when they were at Kentucky.
Speaking facts right here man
Baron Davis was another one who tore both ACLs and could still jump to the moon.
Derek Anderson And Antoine Walker:won a national title at Kentucky in 1996...Ten years late in 2006, won a title with the Heat....
Factz never thought of that
@@L92185 yes indeed....when the heat went to the 2006 NBA finals I was thinking about 1996 final four Kentucky vs Syracuse where Antoine walker and Derrick Anderson won a title together in Kentucky and years later in 2006 with the heat this was the only time that happened...yes or no?
@@beezy22 Facts.. John Wallace from Syracuse was a monster at that time too.

Yes he was one of my favorites as well very smooth , a slasher
. DA caught alot of bodies on the dunk side of the game. And his jumper was nice also never backed down from anybody..Them knee injuries take the best years from some of the best Hooper's salute to D.A

Do one on Kendall Gill.
This was my favorite player back in middle school around '97/'98ish. I modeled alot of my offensive game after his. His game seemed effortless, cuz it takes a lot of work to get there.
MAJOR SALUTE 2u on this 1 Stunt'na, I appreciate it ✊🏾
ya`ll need ron mercer on here too
I wanna thumbs down you for Mercer but only jokingly. I followed him since Kentucky and I never stopped being disappointed in him til the day he retired. When he got drafted by Boston we were all excited because we figured he was on the fast track to stardom with his college teammate Antoine Walker and his college coach Rick Pitino. Then Pitino said he didn't like his game immediately after drafting him (da fuck?! God the Pitino era was so bad). Then you realize he is a shooting guard who can't really shoot, and he never got better.. Though respect to him for a handful of really impactful playoff games with the Pacers and Spurs. Though they were few and far between.
The whole Kentucky team that year could be made into a series.. 😄😄
Naw no need to do Mercer. Only one thing stunted his growth and that was Jordan taking his shot off the backboard with 2 hands. Didn't hear from him since. Lol!!
Tru that
Hey man I used to like Mercer!...I was a young buck so I really couldn't pinpoint his deficiencies...lol, I guess you guys have a point, because I always wo Derek why he couldn't get right
He was underrated he could do everything
One of my favorite combo guards of the early 00s. Decent shooter and playmaker. I always thought he'd be a 15-5-5 type of guy his whole career.
Yea I seen him hoop in real life a few Boi was unreal in person!!!💯✊🏿
Nice...I played with him on 2k I was surprised he didn't become a star
Need a Sean Elliott story
Derek Anderson and Ron Mercer were must watch TV back in the mid 90s.
D, A. was nice I remember watching him at Kentucky and coach Patino letting him in the game at the end. I think he shot some free throws for somebody to get in the books .I always liked him injuries def held him back glad he gotta ring with Miami
Didn’t know his acl injuries. He really had a great career in spite of it.loved him on the clippers
Yes! That's why I gotta give him his respect. His life story is proof how strong this guy has to be mentally. And what he's doing after basketball I admire.

Man He’s One Of My Favorites , Right After Childhood Idol Penny Hardaway & Fellow Simeon Guy D Rose 🌹... If You Can See About CORY MEGETTIE , BOBBY SIMMONS, & Marcus Camby & TYRUS THOMAS.... LOVE THE SHOW , I Be Thirsty When I See A New One!
Subscribe to my channel!!
Definitely remember D.A.
He was a problem when he was on The Spurs and I always loved when he wore the Concords when he played with them and he use to get busy at The EBC tournament at Rucker Park, he was a regular
@andre jamison Very valid point and I agree 💯
I follow this guy on Instagram, great guy, great father, and he really puts life in perspective.
This dude was cold...do you hear me?..but his knees went kaput..he was nice in college and early in his career.. if he was just a little stronger physically?..he could've been something.. he had good character and was a good teammate from what i heard...salute DA..
Subscribe to my channel!!
Yes I agree with you , he was so smooth , could do it all ! Love his game, I hate that he had need injuries smh could’ve of been in the HOF
Man your channel is so unique more people to check this out because you are definitely highlighting people who are worthy of talking about and people who definitely have been forgotten about great video!
Derek Anderson was a great piece for a team that needed a decent SG who could pretty much do anything on the floor. He wouldn't steal the spotlight from your star or anything, but he could shoot, was athletic, and could play defense. He was fun to watch.
DA was one of my favorite players of all time! He was so smooth. He was a slasher I tried to play just like him growing up , one of the best
Smooth 2 guard with all the skills...very competitive and just always seemed like a cool 😎 brother
That Kentucky team was amazing, he was so underrated, the spurs where dumb as F not to sign him
This dude was a monster with a silky smooth game will never forget when he shot those free throws in the tournament while still recovering from a bad injury
DA was one of my favorites growing up. He was one of those guys who knew how to play the game. Never forced anything, he knew when to pass and shoot. A very underrated playmaker. Very explosive player as well, one of the quickest first steps I have ever seen.
In my opinion he was as talented as Ray Allen and others, injuries really damaged his career.
Dude was fearless!
Derek Anderson's highlights on here are dope! he had a smooth playstyle and snuck alot of hard angle dunks ,and his jumper improved from his Cleveland and clippers stint. If Only he had a little more handle far as fundamental changing directions strong crossover to his game to go with his quick 1st step,it would have made him more effective in the half court where he wouldn't have to glyde and slash off balance for a low percentage scoop or floater away from the rim, inWhich because he had them reconstruct knees maybe it wasn't in the cards for it to ever be explosive,,,however he had a miracle career and his IQ and him maintaining kept him around for a stellar career and coat tale Ring in 06. SALUTE J.C.
Great video sir. Derek was SUPER good & I'm glad he's doing well. Blessings to you both!
Derek's game was smooth. Could've transition in current NBA
The dunk and Bankhead bounce on ‘em is one of my favorites ever
As a Kentucky fan, his injury in the '96-'97 season was one of the most heartbreaking injuries I've ever experienced as a fan. That '97 team was poised to win another ("back-to-back") national championship, and almost did... losing the championship game in overtime to Arizona. I will go to my grave saying and believing that if Derek doesn't tear his ACL they win that year...and that would have made it three in a row ('96, '97, '98). Derek Anderson and Rex Chapman are my two favorite SGs in UK history.
On of my favorite players back then. I forgot about him good find.
Definitely one of the best new channels I've found in a while. Its great getting to jog down memory lane.
Used to put him on my stacked teams for Live and 2K
@ Stunted growth i clicked asap. Loved D.Anderson game. Wish he aint get hurt
Straight ballers 🔥one of my favorite players growing up
Derek Anderson was so smooth on San Antonio it reminded me of iso Joe in early Phoenix
He was supposed to be the answer to Kobe when he went to San Antonio. But I can't agree they were going to topple the Lakers, they got swept his only season there. Then they actually won a ring with the completely unproven at the time Stephen Jackson. Jax used that as a springboard to a very nice career, but that tells me the Spurs could have won with a number of different guys playing that spot. Shit, they won one with Jaren Jackson Sr. in 99, which says to me shooting guard was the 4th or 5th most important position for that team. At least until Ginobili came into his own post Robinson.
Anderson wasent himself in that playoffs the spurs actually were better than the lakers that year before Anderson got hurt
Spurs was good without a sg because Robinson and Duncan were so dominant we had del negro etc just perimeter shooting guards but when we got Anderson he opened up our offense so much he gave a spurs fan the feeling of other high power offensive teams instead of just defense and post games he was exciting always a big what if!
One of my favorite players growing up
Finally a louisville ky native. DA is a real coo dude 💪🏾👍🏾
O boy DA was tough. Another banger bro keep grinding 30k subs OTW #StuntedGrowth Gotta do Mark Karcher
Do something on that Ohio State team with Funderburke and Rickey Dudley
🔥🔥🔥 keep me coming bro !! Love your content
Derek Anderson was a fucking beast.... and I remember him most for his 2 years at Ohio State.... was so bummed when he left. But can't blame him. He reminds me of Grant Hill or what Grant Hill could've been as well. Great video! Ron Mercer was also a beast... what ever happened to him?
DA was the real life Jesus Shuttlesworth. Dude had the talent AND the heart and mentality to be a franchise player. It's a shame his knees defied him. Still, against all odds and having a LOT of his athleticism taken away from him, he was still an explosive player. It was a privilege to watch him play at OS and UK.
Derek belongs in the HOF of pro athletes who flipped their money and became successful CEOs and owners.
Man do one on Ron Mercer
I remember that flagrant foul Juan Howard had on him. Still hurts thinking about it
He wasn't the same after that shoulder injury from that hard foul
Derek anderson, he is one of 2 players autographs i made sure i got. growing up in lexington, ky. Him and Walter McCarty were my favorite players.
Just found this channel a couple days ago, been binging on this ever since haha.
One of the best 2 foot jumpers? Maybe one of the smoothest looking but come on, hes gotta windmill that thing more often lol. Great video, love this channel. One of the best on RUclips
Bro I thought he would be a superstar in the league for sure. Loved his game
Met Derek Anderson in Inglewood, CA, doesn't even act like he played in the league, met Cedric Ceballos in the exact same place & can't say the same for him.
He was one of my favorite players. Glad you were able to shine some light his way. Great video!
Oh wow. Thank you for this one. I remember him well. He used to always play in those jordan concords. Dude was nice in the league...
good looking on this, salute...u have one of the best channels on youtube...keep these dope vids coming yo. i didn't know Derek's back story about being homeless without both parents and the knee problems and how he had the strength to battle back. that's crazy smh. I REALLY wish he stayed with the Spurs. He was PERFECT for that system, esp to compete with Kobe out West. The Spurs I felt never had a slashing/finesse 2 guard player like Derek Anderson...maybe Sean Elliot, but not quite like Derek Anderson imo. Ppl i think forget how good the 00-01 Spurs were. I think everyone remembers how the Lakers ran through them in the WCF that year, but I liked that team more than '99
Growing up a Cavs fan D.A. Was my guy!
He was so good in high school and college
Chris Porter, Auburn, needs a video.
Nice content good sir. Laker fan here and I remember DA was always a problem. Glad he went to Portland because we were just barely squeaking by SA. It worked out ok for the Spurs though with Ginobili I guess.
Ginobili was drafted in 99 but finished off his contract in Italy and didn't play till 03. They would have played together
DA!!! MR.KENTUCKY one of tha coolest dudes I’ve ever had tha pleasure to meet in person super hooper super down to earth definitely deserved all his blessings
Derek is a very successful businessman now. He was a good player for sure he's also a solid poker player!
I remember I had put this guy in the comments if you go back on the 96 Squad you can say Nazi Mo, Tony Dell, Ron Mercer. He should have been an all star but the injuries hurt him for his career . The Mid to late 90s is where you see the stunted growth of guys who should have been all stars. The Early to mid 200s is where there are a lot guys who should have been Superstars
Derek Anderson is in the same club that includes Anfernee ("Penny") Hardaway and Derrick Rose: wonderfully talented players who have been injury-prone.
First!!! Hey I'm waiting on KENNY BATTLE!!!
That’s dude who was going bucket for bucket with Benji?
@4:50 Do you remember that!!! Derek started Bankhead Bouncing. Old man Dick Vitale said No No No Derek. Everyone else in the world said YES YES YES!!! Lol. Some players make you root for a team even though you never like them. Grant Hill and J-Will at Duke. Derek Anderson at Kentucky. Remember him being hurt, but getting subbed in to hit 2 free throws in the tourney? This also leads to another Stunted Growth Wildcat...Ron Mercer. These 2 boys were Smooth!!!
DA was a Smooth 2 Guard I thought he could've been a 20 point per game Guy, Great Channel I'm hooked
Scoop jardine, Cj Fair, brandon triche
Another great one for the archives DA was a quiet assassin...
This channel always with the 🔥
Ron mercer has one i just watched yesterday keep doing your thing stunted growth
Great video. I have no doubt they would have been a serious threat to the mentally fragile Lakers championship runs if D.A. stayed. Bufords mistake is probably 2nd to Krause breaking up the Bulls. Derek Anderson was a quiet assassin on the court and a solid piece for what could have been a dynasty.
Damn he went to Portland and left San Antonio for 1 mil a year difference. He was dope i remember him
I played against DA in HS. He was great and was always a really good dude. Too many knee injuries is what set him back.
This who i compared malik monk too.
💯
Only shorter. I don't know what it is, but I never saw Malik's potential.
Another solid video my guy! Great intro, I always remember him and Mercer on Kentucky not in the league. lol
Awesome segment. Loved this guys game, as you mentioned, you always, however, wonder " what if" not for the knee injuries. Still a solid career though...#respect#
Jared Jeffries and his Hoosier team that went to the finals. There's an excellent "Fair Game" untethered
Interview featuring him
Do stunted growth for teams or coaches like Derek Fisher 🤔
I remember live 2001 Derek Anderson was a beast ... him Brian grant and Damon 💯
That was good da is a good guy man to learn some great stuff he checked a couple people on ESPN back in the day I'd like to see one on AJ guyton
I thought DA was gonna blow up the league back then .... even when he was at OSU ....his skill set was amazing
Alot of them highlights show his tendency to land on one foot, recipe for disaster.
Was thinking that too. His landings were always dangerous. That's in hindsight though. Until I saw a vid on Drose landing I never thought about that.
My city my hood watched him as a kid growing up!!!
Very underrated I used to get Nervous seeing him and Kobe go at it..👍
Favorite one yet.
not staying with the spurs ruined his career. given his injury history who knows if he could have been healthy but he had his breakout year with the spurs and he was never the same after leaving
He was action packed
Thank you I always wondered what happened to him he use to hoop in his prime
8:03 DAMN!!! lol
Anderson and Ron Mercer the “air pair”!!!
What stunted his growth was being on the Cavs and being coached by Mike Fratello. Fratello set the game back with his slow walk up the ball half court style.
I really enjoy the players you pick
You forgot to mention the hard foul from Juwan Howard. Derek Anderson was never the same after that foul. I remember in San Antonio, he was a borderline all star.
Did you do Chris Thomas from Notre Dame yet?
Derek Anderson was a beast. My favorite player from Kentucky is Jamal mashburn tho.
His career seems way more amazing now that I know about his early knee stuff . For some reason I never knew about that even though I definitely remember him at Kentucky beating my Cuse. Speaking of Cuse, John Wallace soon?
