[greenmatrix151023387]

@NextWorldApparel

marbury used to be good

but when he was 1st starting out he was nice strickland ... no argument there, kenny anderson is one of the best to ever do it marc jackson was dope but i kinda liked him better with reggie miller and the pacers :)

skip when he was in his prime? he was untouchable and telfair? he was better in high school. hes struggling in the league. hes good but hes not great. not hating just saying

good list none the less

[ThaFlameofATown]

As soon as I happened onto this video, I knew exactly what song was going to be played. Great video, VERY underrated player.

@mookeychase0907

Don't write off some other great 70s point guards from NYC: Butch Lee, DeWitt Clinton '74; Larry Washington, Canarsie '78; Arnold Dugger, DeWitt Clinton '75; Dean Meminger, Rice '69; Artie Green, Taft '77; Geoff Huston; Rob Wright, G.Washington '78; Mitch Walker, Van Buren '78; just to name a few.

[mookeychase0907]

@dburley I remember all those guys Butch played with Sam Worthen and them cats when they won it in 77 for Al Macguire, I used to love Beettle Washington hows he doing?

[calipariwildcats23]

glad Rod is an assistant coach at Kentucky

[NextWorldApparel]

My favorite player EVER...Ppl thought I wore 11 cuz of Isaiah Thomas.I wore it because it was Rod Stricklands # on the Knicks as a rookie

[82TheGodOfWar]

Damn I miss my dude Rod

[CSeyoum]

im feeling the music on this jont.

[jayrobb9]

I will never forget the no-look pass to no-one...

[Irondog]

Sean Elliott was softly gazing into the distance. He should have cut.

[flyty114th]

I'm impressed with the various lists of pg's and their pretty accurate but I just gotta give my dude Eric Singleton and honorable mention despite his ups and downs not to many cats from back in the 80's from N.Y.C were given the opportunity to play at Oak Hill Academy

[reak7835]

good lookin' on the wu tang triumph bit in there... raekwon the chef... WU TANG 4EVA r.i.p. odb

[r91976]

flawless...

[almightydbones]

Rod Strickland is one of my all time favorite Wizards ever

[dragoneye23]

muggsy bougues is a beast

[aknatons]

Hot Rod! Chicago will always be grateful and never forget this heck of a talent. He left his mark on this city at DePaul and in the NBA.

[r91976]

tremendous effort....

[kevin21470]

ALL TIME NYC HS POINT GODS 1.Kenny Anderson, Queens Archbishop Molloy 2.Bob Cousy, Queens Andrew Jackson 3.Kenny Smith, Queens Archbishop Molloy 4.Mark"Action" Jackson, brooklyn Bishop Loughlin 5.Rod Strickland, Bronx Truman 6.Vern Fleming,Long Island City Mater Christi 7.Stephon Marbury,Coney Island Abraham Lincoln 8.Dwayne"Pearl" Washington,Brooklyn Boys and Girls 9.God Shammgod,Manhattan LaSalle Academy 10.Rafer Alston, Queens Cardozo

[aknatons]

Are you kidding me. ROD was not only the most talented PG ever to come from the City but one of the most talented penetrators, passers and finishers ever in the NBA. Always making it look easy. Pearl was a better high school and college hooper than the other eight. Tough list though Chief!

[bkfromulo]

ROD, is the King of the slo-mo HANDLE!!

[bskball20]

i might be a little biased towards recent players but how the heck is rafer alston that low? vern fleming? God Shammgod? were they that good in HS?

[AJashaman]

wellalston is a great street player but not great in the nba

[airdrew19]

Rafer was good, Vern Fleming was unstoppable, Sham was good, but couldnt shoot! You Had Red Autry, at Tolentine, Kenny Hutchinson, Pearl, Al Lott, Earnie Myers...I can go on and on

[jameshunterIII]

Damn! Thats a list ma dude.

[deemoney28]

i would switch Kenny Smith and Rod Strickland. but I REALLY dont think people realize how good Skip was in high school. i watched him play when it was more about Steph and Felipe Lopez. dude had to get a court order to play one season just for like 6 games and dropped 33 pts in 17 muntes

everyone wants to make their lists nowadays, which is cool because it brings great debate. but Skip was the TRUTH

[bkfromulo]

YO, U know ur "points"!

[airdrew19]

No No No... Mark Jackson was OK in HS, Bob Cousy I did not see. Rafer Alston only played in 31 games in HS. He was know as a street ball player.Sham was ok, all dirbble and speed could not shoot. 1. Kenny Anderson, 2. Dwayne"Pearl" Washington 3. Vern Fleming 4. Rod Strickland 5. Kenny Smith 6. Stephon MarburyLincoln 7. Nate "Tiny" Archibald, Bronx DeWitt Clinton High School 8.Mark"Action" Jackson 9. Sebastian Telfair, Coney Island Abraham Lincoln 10. David Cain, Bronx Stevenson

[Irondog]

You not only put Vern Fleming over Rod, but also place Nate Archibald in the seven slot...?? Please review any video on YouTube with the search term of "Tiny" Archibald. He is bar-none the gold standard, and if you asked any of those guys on the list they would aree that he is the number one. David Cain to top it off...? Are you serious?

BD

[airdrew19]

Yes I am SERIOUS! Now I guess you did not see Vern Fleming play in H.S. If you you look at Kevin's list the title says H.S., not College, not PRO. Rod is a good friend, and he would be in the TOP three if that was the case. In high school he was very good, at Truman, and better at Oak Hill. Yes David Cain, ask any ref's, coaches and players, and David Cain will make the top 10. It is obvious you need to google Tiny, only played 1 maybe 2 full seasons in H.S.

[Irondog]

If you're going with H.S., I would move six or even seven. Vern was a great H.S. player and McDonald's AA to add, but he didn't win a State Championship on his own like Rod did in his sophomore year! As for David Cain, he had the most broke shot coming out of the City in years, and he was exposed at St. John's. You would probably be more safe to say Derrick Phelps, Ed Davender, or even 'Boo' Harvey...but not David Cain. C'mon man...

[airdrew19]

Rod did not win it on his own he had help, Ty Joy, D Brantley, Grand Pa, , CC they had a crew. Rod was the catalyst, but he had a team. D Cain won 2 City chips at Stevo. Also was 1 team all Big East 1993, if he was taller he would have been in the league. His only short coming was his height

[Irondog]

And his shot....

He couldn't carry Derrick Phelps's gym bag.

Peace.

[airdrew19]

OK Bro, it is based on u r flava!

One!

[conwashur]

@kevin21470 forgot G.O.A.T

[slantone]

@kevin21470 good list man, you know your shit- reminded me of players i forgot about like vern fleming.

[muymalmoon]

@kevin21470 What about Anfernee Hardaway? Simply amazing.

[thehorsejechol]

@kevin21470 no offense but i think booger smith wins

[readmore2008]

@kevin21470 If Tiny Arch isn't number 1 on your list then redo your list. 34 and 11 for a season and led the league in scoring and assists that year - never done before or since. Was unguardable until he pulled his achilles in '77 then rehabbed and was still a beast with a bad achilles.

You don't even have him on your list at all. You're not a credible witness lol!

[killerbaby0]

HaHa he looked at the ball when he did that behind the back...noob ;)

[scooniepenn]

so whats yur point?

[Tonio3Cole]

stop hating you dumb ass bitch, fuck your hating ass.

[bakir821]

anyone talking shit about rod strickland is fucking crazy!! this guy was one of the top 5 PGs in the league from about '94 to 2000. Its a crime really that he never made an all star team..

[a6m50]

One year, he was the league leader in assists, and still did not make the All Star team. It's all B.S., I know that now.

Rod is still one of the Top-10 in assists, all time. :)

[NextWorldApparel]

yup...he was the best player not to make an allstar team EVER.

[realB7]

NYC is known 4 thier pgs and strickland was and will also be one of the best. WORD!!! " Amazing blazing talent like rodney strick" "I was a Knick fan when they had Strickland"

[apbreenon]

turn that shit music down

[andijyak]

wel actualy thats one of the top hip hop songs of all time. fuck you, WUTANG FOREVER.

[xxchris023xx]

Damnd rod strickland made dem niggaz jump

[xxchris023xx]

Damn everytime i hear diz song at da end it always says rod stricland nd im always wondering 2 myself if he talking bout diz dude

[telepathic759]

Rod had game but he was never a money player or star of a franchise. All flash and no Consistency...His defense sucked too...

[khanduece]

i thought he wore the bullets uniform

[a6m50]

He did, right after the trade. Then the (then)Bullets changed the team name to the Wizards.

[a6m50]

One of the best playmakers of all time.

Anybody can claim to make a shot like that, because we all have at one time or another. But Stric did that all the time in NBA GAMES(not at that park by your house). Also, can you make that shot after going through four NBA DEFENDERS? Yeah, right.

[Frank87]

One of the greatest finishers ever but for a pg, didn't have much court vision.

[MASSIVE100]

I believe in '94..but in the early 90's he led the league in assists when he played for Portland

[rebirth216]

ghost face

[leodungen]

no that was raekwon

[hoperoad56]

How do you make four guys look real stupid? See above...

[mronsomeothershit]

Strickland >>> all other NYC pgs of his era (Mark Jackson, Kenny Anderson, Marbury)

[buruboi]

What is playing in the background?

[aaronla]

wu tang - triumph

[leodungen]

1. where have u been?... 2. WU- TANNNGGGG B!TCH

[Blaxxa]

He sucks,this shot ether.i can make that

[clearedfortakeoff]

teh best NON-All star in 90s. Marbury and Francis are crap compared to this guy

[ASHTONZANECKI]

no joke, rod strickland is my friend's dad.

[rodrigo11aguilar]

He made very little Allstars though.He was one but nobody liked him because of self reputation I think
