@@kabirconsiders while I was living in New York I was supporting the Knicks right now I am living in Florida I am rooting for Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.
Collegiate basketball season starts here in the States in November, & I think you should watch highlight reels every week. My alma mater, the University of Kansas, has consistently had one of the best teams in the league, & you might enjoy seeing this year's team play. James Naismith is the man who invented the game - in Massachusetts, but he pefected it here in Kansas. He was, I believe, the only losing coach for KU.
Or if he would have just been on a damn decent team he was always a giant amongst men never a giant amongst giants I swear if he would have just had 2 really good guys he would have rings on rings the dude was fantastic but never had the teammates to back him up he carried teams on his back like he was Atlas
Still find it a cool "did you know" NBA fact that he and Vince Carter are cousins. Can you imagine what their family reunion pick up games must be like?😂
Hmm, i'd have to say Rugby too. Football allows so many breaks for cardiovascular recovery, where as rugby is two halves of 40 minutes of nonstop running. The hits in football are definitely harder though
I don't know the relative size of rugby or soccer athletes (my roommate tells me that one of our neighbours, across the street, is a professional soccer player, but I haven't met him), but American footballers & basketballers are massive people. I mean, I've ridden in lifts with NFL players, & standing behind 2 or 3 of them is like standing behind a wall. Baseball players aren't quite as large. I haven't been around basketballers in a while, but while they're generally taller than footballers, footballers tend to be much wider.
If u like explosive point guards then watch Robert pack highlights. He played in the 90’s and was only 6’2 but could dunk anything Also the harden one was impressive not because of how fast he stripped the ball but because he was looking the opposite direction when he stripped the ball
@3:25 I disagree with that statement and will give you two words. Allen Iverson. Iverson is an athletic anomaly being 5'10 max and dunking over centers when he was young. Out running all players down the court, and the quickest feet
Fortunate to see Nate Robinson play football at the U of W before he decided to concentrate on his basketball for his 3 years . He went their on a football scholarship and quit after 1 yr but says a booster offered 100 grand for every year he'd play football , didn't take it. He is still the only 3 time winner of the NBA Dunk Contest and at only 5' 9" .
7:20 if you are an nba player just let him shoot, stand in the paint while he misses some shots. He will shoot 1/8 from three. That is how you stop him. Is he electrifying? What question is that, yes. But in the case of Westbrook his game can be hit or miss. He makes some of the best highlights and historic numbers. (The reasons he will be in the hof), but he has probably the most lowlights and memes out of any player.
Great reaction! You should check out Klay Thompson’s record breaking 14 three pointers in one game (broke his teammate Steph’s record of 13) or his 37 point quarter! I think sometimes his greatness is overshadowed by Steph since Steph is a GOAT when it comes to shooting, but he’s had some insane moments and deserves a tremendous amount of credit! So excited to have him back this season after his knee injury made him miss a season and then an Achilles injury that forced yet another season off.
kenneth faried, they call him THE MANNIMAL ... its so sad that his career didnt really last that long bc his playing style doesn't really fit the current NBA playstyle .. he is a DENNIS RODMAN type of a player ... he is really something!
I’m enjoying your reactions videos, especially this one Westbrook is my BOY!!!! My favorite NBA player!! Cannot wait to see him in action with the LAKERS!!! Hope you enjoy your visit to the States next year. 😊 hope you stop by and visit Atlanta!!
8:36 Kenneth "The Manimal" Faried, 6'8" PF/C. Too bad that his perimeter defense is poor, and he has no shooting range, and he's now on the wrong side of 30.
I hear folks arguing on who is the GOAT all the time so asking you .who is the Goat? People argue Jordan and some argue LeBron. My observation is Jordan was the Goat of his era but LeBron is the Goat of this era. Who will be the Goat after LeBron retires? My opinion at this moment in time is Giannis or Luka Doncic. Luka only if he gets a better supporting cast around him. Preseason starts tomorrow 10/3. Thank goodness I have NBA League Pass so I can watch the teams I like.
If you don't already know about Tracy "T-Mac" McGrady you gotta do a deep dive literally he could be in the top 5 greatest of players to ever play the game of basketball but he was always on teams that lacked the ability to actually lock down championships but he was incredible to watch just an absolute monster amongst men.
I'm still saddened to this day that the Magic traded away McGrady during his prime. Ironically the Magic took Dwight Howard number one and traded for Jameer Nelson in the draft (4 days before McGrady was traded) as well as signed Hedo Turkoglu in free agency the same year McGrady went to Houston and began building what became one of the best teams in the league for a moment (before Howard whined his way out of town and got the great Stan Van Gundy fired). Imagine those mid-to-late 2000s Magic teams with McGrady: they might have actually won a Finals and not just made it to one to get steamrolled once again. Then again, by the end of the decade McGrady was a shell of his former self due to recurring injury problems, so perhaps he might have been more of a hinderance as that was around the time that Dwight Howard reached his peak dominance.
Oh, gosh! Thanks to you, I get to see basketball. Yet, curiously, I notice that you are being slightly affected by American isms. I am starting to hear 'dude' in your language. Very funny!
Westbrook is athletic as hell and well rounded but his poor shooting makes him incredibly overrated and underachieving. If the dude could shoot he would be a free ticket to the conference or league finals every year.
That is the best description of Giannis I’ve ever heard 🤣, “A stretched out Russell Westbrook”
Accurate assessment lol.
You see what i mean though, right? both ridiculously athletic, both insane dunkers and both cant really shoot, they kinda look alike too 😂
@@kabirconsiders yes it’s really spot on, I’ve never heard anyone put it like that
If he has shooting touches he would have a mix of a KD and Russ hybrid game
I never get sick of tired of watching these clips from NBA, I am soo glad the NBA start in October 19, I really missed and love the games.
What team do you support?
@@kabirconsiders while I was living in New York I was supporting the Knicks right now I am living in Florida I am rooting for Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.
I don't watch Basketball but your videos are just so good

Seeing Tracy Mcgrady makes me sad. Would have easily been a top 20 player of all time if injuries didn't exist.
Same goes for Penny and Grant Hill 😢
Or if he would have just been on a damn decent team he was always a giant amongst men never a giant amongst giants I swear if he would have just had 2 really good guys he would have rings on rings the dude was fantastic but never had the teammates to back him up he carried teams on his back like he was Atlas
My favourite player for sure
Still find it a cool "did you know" NBA fact that he and Vince Carter are cousins. Can you imagine what their family reunion pick up games must be like?😂
Great video! Basketball highlights are so fucking entertaining. I’m glad the sport is growing abroad.
You should react to the 2021 NBA All-Star game highlights
i'll put it on my list!
You might not see it but football players are the most athletic. The weight + strength + speed and quickness
I’d pick Rugby
Hmm, i'd have to say Rugby too. Football allows so many breaks for cardiovascular recovery, where as rugby is two halves of 40 minutes of nonstop running. The hits in football are definitely harder though
React to NBA top 100 dunks of the decade please
i'll put it on my list!
I would love to see your reaction on ESPN 30/30 on Reggie Miller or the NBA best trash talkers.
i'll put it on my list!
What's crazy is westbrook was even more athletic in college, his highlights are ridiculous
8:14 DeRozen before joining the Spurs had hops.
I don't know the relative size of rugby or soccer athletes (my roommate tells me that one of our neighbours, across the street, is a professional soccer player, but I haven't met him), but American footballers & basketballers are massive people.

Wilt and Bill Russel were freakishly athletic.
And Westbrook is now with LeBron and the Lakers. It’s about to be a great season!!
Your commentary tho! 😀 They are amazing to watch, heart pounding and explosive.
I cant wait to experience my first NBA game, the atmosphere looks incredible!
I’m a Texan (Austin), but I’m glad Westbrook is with the Lakers now.
Westbrook has the tools to run a channel like he's 6'7... Fast, strong, and explosive...
2:34 It was early in James' career then, and he used to play as a wide receiver.
14:11 McGrady's 13 points in 35 seconds (game time).
If u like explosive point guards then watch Robert pack highlights. He played in the 90’s and was only 6’2 but could dunk anything
Also the harden one was impressive not because of how fast he stripped the ball but because he was looking the opposite direction when he stripped the ball
3:51 Durant was still in the team.
3:53 That was Steven Adams' rookie season. He was clean-shaven.
I've gotta get back into watching basketball. This was amazing.
Its definitely a fun sport to watch
@3:25 I disagree with that statement and will give you two words. Allen Iverson. Iverson is an athletic anomaly being 5'10 max and dunking over centers when he was young. Out running all players down the court, and the quickest feet
You have to watch Scottie Pippens best dunks!
13:34 Eric Bledsoe is returning to the Clippers this season, probably minus the hops.
U could do a whole video of this about Vince Carter tbh
For point guards, Westbrook is definitely one of the most explosive, but for all guards, Jordan is at the top of the list.
Steve Francis is the most explosive athletic pg of all time
Hi Kabir, do you have a favorite between baseball, basketball or NFL?
Hmmm... probably basketball closely followed by NFL
Fortunate to see Nate Robinson play football at the U of W before he decided to concentrate on his basketball for his 3 years . He went their on a football scholarship and quit after 1 yr but says a booster offered 100 grand for every year he'd play football , didn't take it.
He is still the only 3 time winner of the NBA Dunk Contest and at only 5' 9" .
9:49 Meyers Leonard, the dude that I don't think should had worn the no. 11 jersey for the Blazers (should had retired it for Arvydas Sabonis).
Check out Spudd Webb in the 1986 slam dunk contest. You will not believe the outcome!!
This entire video was fun to watch but my personal favorite moment wat at 06:10 when I looked at you and you looked at me in total disbelief! 😲
onto the list it goes!

How about Bob Cousy, won 8 finals with the Celts 1950-1963. Point gaurd.
kenneth faried, they call him THE MANNIMAL ... its so sad that his career didnt really last that long bc his playing style doesn't really fit the current NBA playstyle .. he is a DENNIS RODMAN type of a player ... he is really something!
Hey Kabir, what is your PO box again, I can't find it
It should be on my 'About' section
I found it
7:03 Obviously before his knees blew out.
The "defender" Giannis jumped over for ally top dunk is Tim Hardaway Jr, who is 6'6" tall (about 2 meters...)
I’m enjoying your reactions videos, especially this one Westbrook is my BOY!!!! My favorite NBA player!! Cannot wait to see him in action with the LAKERS!!! Hope you enjoy your visit to the States next year. 😊 hope you stop by and visit Atlanta!!
Thanks Vicki :) I'll definitely be visiting Atlanta, cant wait!
CR7 shoulders will hit the rim
8:36 Kenneth "The Manimal" Faried, 6'8" PF/C. Too bad that his perimeter defense is poor, and he has no shooting range, and he's now on the wrong side of 30.
I loved Faried, but damn I don't think i've ever seen someone's stock fall so fast
Kabir, I hope you're ready for the new season to begin October 19th.
I'm so ready, curious to see what this lakers team can do. A lot of big names but a lot of big ages!
Kabir idk if you have ever dunked b4 but screw that i’ll do a layup any day of the week before i dunk it hurts so much its not even funny
This is only from the past 15 years or so.

Is the NBA big over in Britain do you guys watch the finals
Not really, its probably because games get shown here really late, like 1-2am
Kabir, They's not human wanted planet are they are from.
yep these guys are unbelievable
Derrick rose Soo much better then Westbrook, he may be Abit more explosive then rose but couldn't drive the bus like rose
Westbrook is athletic as hell and well rounded but his poor shooting makes him incredibly overrated and underachieving.
If the dude could shoot he would be a free ticket to the conference or league finals every year.
he really should've tried to improve his shooting
@@kabirconsiders yep, if he was able to shoot then the 2010s would have been a race for MVP every year between Russ and Lebron.
