  • He deserves to be the Head Coach of 'Cuse eventually, congrats to Gerry on being named assisstant coach cant wait 2 see my 1st Syracuse game 2moro against Marquette

  • How Gerry never played in the NBA is beyond me! Quite possibly the greatest college basketball player to never get drafted but thats jus my opinion

  • ONIONS....lol

  • THAT MAN WAS A GOD! GO SU and sry theres no more big east excitment

  • RIP Big East tournament

  • It's a damn crime that G-Mac didn't get drafted.

  • "they actually listen to some assistant coaches who i guarantee will never be head coaches" yep boeheim was pissed

  • Sort of have to disagree with you on a couple of points. First, he's a pretty good defensive player and he anticipates well. Notice the steal for a three in the Cinc. game. The Texas semis in 2003 had him stealing two balls as well as other good plays. Certainly a very good athlete but not the best. Most important. He is a winner, a go to guy with high proficiency. I feel sad for Gerry to be honest.

  • also, where G-Mac got trapped in regards to his NBA prospects was the whole "let's focus on what he can't do instead of what he can". okay, he's not a great defender and he's not a great athlete. but he can make shots, he's tough, and he has enough handle to run the point for about 15 minutes a game.

    i'm tired of seeing 7-foot lardasses who can't do shit get crazy contracts just for being overgrown while some real ballplayers get left out just because they stopped growing at 14.

  • i admire Coach Boeheim for sticking up for his player like that, but one of my initial thoughts (besides,"this guys got a lot of balls") was,"what would the other players be thinking/feeling about hearing their coach basically say the team sucks without this one player?"

    however, in hindsight, Boeheim did have a point. the next year, the team didn't even make the NCAA tournament without McNamara, and their frontcourt of Watkins, Roberts and Nichols really underachieved in their careers.

  • he traveled

  • amazing, i lvoe GMac, met him, hes a great guy, and an even better player!

  • Great memories here. I remember being in high school and running to get to watch the end of it between timeouts. I got in just in time to see him nail that shot against Cincinnati. Next day was even crazier against #1 UConn and their 7 NBA players and being able to pull off a win. Then beating hated rival GTown after losing for 39:50 of the game. Unbelievable. I ordered the championship T Shirt at 9AM Sunday when Manny's opened and my name was 2nd on the list.

  • One of the most absurd stretch of games I've ever seen. Dude was like Superman every night in that tournament. I guess that's just how we make em in Scranton

  • Next Gerry McNamara is coming to Syracuse starting next season, and his name is Trevor Cooney, look him up!

  • great coach  jim boeheim

  • It's a shame. No one can tell me G-Mac doesn't belong in the NBA. They complain about his height and speed, each actually not a problem. I saw him chase down a point guard who is now in the NBA and knock the ball out of his hands. Can dunk flatfooted. Tremendous Vertical. 90% of games in the NBA he would have contributed. Many records broken by him in Syr.

  • Dude G-Mac best player clutch player in College Basketball history..should be in the NBA..Scranton fo life brossssssss

  • probably the best performance in a Big East tourney, i loved watching every minute of these games, however, i still think he took 3 steps in the game winner vs. Cincy

  • It is unmuted!!!!!!!! Omg Lets Go haha. Haven't seen this in like 2 years cause of muting.

  • I'm a Uconn fan and Gerry was lights out during the 2006 Big East tourney, pure clutch.

  • the video sucks without sound but anyways, 2 weeks b4 this tourney my brother and i went to georgetownvscuse in the verizon center and g-town beat cuse and the crowd was chanting gerry sucks and n.i.t!! i wish i could have seen there faces after this tournament!! overrated? the most bullshit thing that boeheim has seen in 30 years!!!

  • @3cusefan I was at that game. I went down on a bus trip from central PA. Then I also travelled to his last home game...seeing those two losses made me fear for what the post season held for Cuse.

  • @3cusefan I went down to that game as well. I thought for sure that Syracuse was out of gas at that point and the season was over.

  • i mean 2002 state champs

  • I was the ball boy for his high school team ( Bishop Hannon) and they did emerge it with a school Bishop O'Hara now its called Holy Cross But we were 2005 PA state champions.

  • @SPSballr11 If you were the ball boy, shouldn't you know it was spelled Bishop Hannan?

  • stupid copyright bullshit. the video aint even worth watchin now.

  • Used to be one of my favorite videos on Youtube

  • @aaroncuse315 now its unmuted brah

  • I'm from Scranton and he's no 5'11". He is a min.6'2", can dunk the ball from a standing position and gives more heart and guts than 95% of pro athletes. If you ever read his NBA scouting report before he played at Syracuse it was excellent. Unfortunately, he was hampered by injuries, most notably a groin injury and if you know anything about that, it really slows down your game. Yes he was let go by NBA teams, mostly at the last cut. He never got a chance though to show his stuff in theNBA

  • I stood next to him, he is no 6'2, he is 6 foot

  • Where did youy stand next to him and it's a "she says he says" at this point anyway.

  • Comment removed

  • Hmm. I live in Scranton and I take my clothes to the cleaners where Gmac's sister's mother-in-law works as well as owns the business. I hear a lot from her as he is part of her family or darn close to it. It's weird and I have told her this, but I feel so bad for him I can't even describe it. I really, really think he deserves more than what he has gotten. I know this doesn't matter but to dedicate your life and be so good in college against so many good players. Super frustrating!

  • Whoa, you own a suite at the stadium? COOL! When the Phillies left, that was it for me. The comment below about the cleaners makes sense if you read it slowly ; ). I was a pretty good ball player so maybe it's me just going through it vicariously for Gerry. It's never over until it's over. I feel that the 76's or a New York team would be a good idea. It may even help attendance and like you said as others have, he is an extremely likeable person. He does leave his heart on the floor ALWAYS!

  • Comment removed

  • You don't live in Scranton? I see by your ID that you are a Gmac fan. Did you go to Syracuse or his High School? I think they closed down his High School or they Merged. I'm originallyy from Kingston right across the bridge from Wilkes-Barre and my family moved out here when my kids were young. I never really followed Gerry even though he was in the paper a lot in High School. I started following him during the NCAA tournament and I have been hooked ever since. I can't get enough of him !!!

  • gerrymacfan45, I'm serious, I do not know my way around the intricacies of the site. The only thing I know how to do is post and watch videos. I'm going to sleep so I won't be on until late tomorrow night if all is well. Sorry.

  • can you redo this with new songs but keep the commentary??? Maybe the song Cuse yourself could fit in...

  • you have got to be kidding me! this was one of my favorite videos of all time and now it is ruined wtf!! put the goddamn sound back on

  • what song was it?

  • i know i wanted to relive my hero after we lose to god damn oklahoma and the 2nd most overrated player in college bball history griffin 1rst is hansburough idk how to spell it.

  • I am upset also. I wasn't selling it or giving it away. If anything the artists should be happy that I was promoting their work. People would ask what the name of the songs were and then go and buy them. Oh well, I still have my own copy on my computer.

  • you wanna hit me up with that copy? haha

  • make a new video using the old game tapes ahha

  • I'm upset that the audio got disabled...this was one of the best videos on YouTube, with the announcers from the tournament being dubbed in over "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor...very well done and I'd love to have the audio back.

  • just went to a reno bighorns game and chatted with him and got his autograph...G-Mac is awesome

  • The kid had so much heart and im happy i got to meet him the year before

  • im a huge GMAC and SU fan, but the only reaosn why he isnt in the NBA is because he is really only like 5-11 and hes not very athletic and quick compared to guards in the NBA

  • hahaha i got in so much trouble to but it was so worth the detentions i was like idc i saw gmac play and u cant take that away from my memory

  • it is funny you say that cause the same thing happened to me and my buddy! haahah! i have no clue why he is not in the NBA

  • go orange 9-0 we would be even better if we still had Donte greene

  • donte green is a chump. He threw up 40 shots a game. he's averaging 4.5 points a game in the NBA. he sucks.

  • Yeup... We're better off playing someone like scoop jardine rather than him.

  • bullshit he is 100 times better than mike conley jr and some of the other garbage point guards in the nba now and he never even got a chance after all he did for syracuse wow.

  • he was a great college player but he just didnt have what it takes to be in the nba...he's had several chances and been cut from several teams.

  • shut the fuck up gerry mcnamera is the best player to ever NOT make the nba..all you who doubt on him can look at his stats and theyll show you

  • lol i think your a little biased...i didnt even insult him all i said was that he wasn't an NBA type player, which he obviously isnt, or he;d be on a NBA team

  • yea boy Gerry Macattack. Should of got drafted, its a joke

  • Scranton's finest!

  • Gmac was one of the best players for the cuse

  • i am a uconn fan and i even think gmac was one of the big easts all time greatest players of all-time, but not as good as ray allen or emeka or rip

  • Best 4 days of my sports life, it was so fun watching those 2 games during school, got caught but well worth the lunch detention lol.....

  • I watched the first two games in school as well... the UCOnn OT and the Cincny buzzer beater!!

  • Why can't someone just post the game winning shots without making a god damn music video out of it? Every fucking moron up here takes a sports video, adds that shitty Fort Minor song to it, and ruins the moment.

    For fuck's sake, someone just post the game winning shots and get rid of this bullshit.

  • @skankuser maybe you should make one you lazy fuck. get the stick out of your ass.

  • @skankuser couldnt have put it better my friend. 

  • gmac is a man he is from my city

  • GMAC is king. SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY! SYRACUSE

  • doesnt matter bout any other fans except Syracuse... they love him... fukk what everyone else thinks... they'd be happy he was on their team.

  • im a kansas fan.. obviously cant stand the orangemen anymore.. but also, have to admit gmac is the shit

    fuck melo mcnamara won the title

  • GREAT college player. undersized, too slow to play in the NBA one of the best syracuse has ever had

  • There should be a box set of all the 'Cuse games from this tournament

  • omg i completely agree

    id buy it first fuckin day

  • Deeds: Gerry Mac, you know what its like to get riled up.

    G-Mac: That I do, I love New York I love the sites, but let me show you a side of New York most people dont get to see

    G-Mac directed to Greg Robinson: "Where did you learn to coach, you're a fucking disgrace!!!!!"

  • yeahh well guess what everyone he just got asked to go to the utah jazz camp so obvi hes good enough 2 b in the nba. lets c u play that good.

    go cuse!

  • CuseOrange. com

    ^^ best syracuse forum on the net

  • I agree with Ronald, and i love Remember the name. GO FORT MINOR

  • what has Duke done since 03? You want to talk about overrated teams, its starts with Duke. How can Syracuse be overrated when they havent been in the tourney in a few years? Arfulback, you are a complete idiot.

    Gerry may not be in the NBA, but he was also undersized, and put into a point guard situation that probably wasnt the best for him. But as far as a college player, no one played harder. The only reason you compare him with JJ is because they are both white, you racist fuck.

  • How the fuck is he overrated? Any idiot who thought he was overrated should just see this video. Outrageous.

  • i guess u forgot that JJ at least set the ACC scoring record and led his team to a #1 seed.... i dont like duke or JJ but u have to respect what hes done.. he was drafted by the NBA even they know gerry was overrated and thats why hes in greece.... syracuse does nothing but bitch, maybe if they would win games against real opponents then they would belong... since 03 they havent done anything... just look at boeheim saying the 65 team tournament needs to be expanded.. what a crack head

  • Umm, national championships are more important than 1 seeds. Gerry won a national championship. Don't say "it was Carmelo's", because Gerry did his part by scoring 18 points in the 1st half.

  • how many titles does jj have?

  • 0! :D

  • I'd like to see how good JJ would have done if he was thrown into the point guard position.

  • gerry mcnamara is still the most overrated player in bball... he had 4 games in the big east tourney thats it... syracuse has been the most overrated team in the big east and it shows and the selection committee knows it

  • Actually, retard, that would be Duke. How's JJ Reddick doing? Interesting when a moron like yourself is bumping SU videos even though they are haters. Now go search for some gay porn, faggot!

  • Yea I remember watching the 2006 big east tournament, and Gerry Mcnamara had an outstanding performance to lead syracuse to a Big east title. After performing that great, it was a little surprising that he didn't impress professional scouts enough to get drafted that year.

  • Does anyone have the full game audio or video if so can u posst that on you tube or send it to me i really want to watch it thanks...

  • thats what i have been looking for

  • best player to not make it to the league. Really sad.

  • he will get there someday

  • JACKSON-MCALARNEY-HARANGODY= 1st in big east nxt year

  • i dont get it how is whatever his name is.. diener or something like that... hes the fucking starting PG for the pacers and jerry couldnt even make it WTF

  • awesome video, you should post it without music and hear the announcers goin wild

  • guy's got balls

  • watching this video gives me chills. gerry is the sickest period.

  • i'm not a fan of cuse but g-mac was amazing. that faggot quinn from notre dame is in the nba but not g-mac? i don't get it? can someone explain this to me?

  • Pearl, General Sherm, and GMac... the best we've had... Johnny Flynn, u got alot of work to do bro.

    da relic

  • i am a syracuse fan myself and ill be the first to say we are the teams strongest critics

  • amen.

  • i soooo miss mista gerry... aww i forget sometines how much i still love him! he's still my hero!

  • strike 3!

  • Great Story, but I'm still pissed they beat Pitt in the Finals

  • I have been watching Syracuse Basketball for my entire life, Dwayne Washington, Rony Seikaly, Raphael Addison, Sherman Douglass, Derrick Coleman...Gerry McNamara is the best player all around that Syracuse has ever had. Charisma, clutch shooting, assists, college records in all counts, and a passionate player. Won the first NCAA tournament for Syracuse (six three's in the first half?). All praises. Gerry Mcnamara is first class.

  • i am overly critical of gerry but this was absolutely insane, amazing, and incredible

  • i am overly critical of gerry but this was absolutely insane, amazing, and incredible

  • BEST CLUTCH SHOOTER OF ALL TIME!!!!!

  • those were the days

  • Does anyone know if there is anywhere to get the videos of these games?

  • G-Mac baby!

  • one of the most clutch players in college basketball history

  • Chills everytime. What an unbelievable run.

  • this was the greatest 4 day span in my life

  • by far the most amazing all around player since i started watching college basketball..his 2003 performance in March Madness was nothing short of spectacular. His two game winning shots in the Big East tourney were rediculous as well..especially the first one..i called all my friends immediately after telling them to turn on the tv

  • only thing missing is a shot of him with the Overrated? shirt

  • This was the most exciting week of my life.

  • I rushed home everyday to watch the Cuse that week. I just wish those were the last 4 games of the NCAA

  • Yeah, the lost to A&M sucked majorly. Once everybody thought they were good they started to play like shit.-

  • They started to play like shit because Gerry was hurt... what made this BET even more incredible was the fact that he was playing through a tweaked hammy that prevented him from playing in the NCAAs. I mean Josh Wright ran the point for most of that game against A&M.

  • I remember this tourney and syracuse wasnt even that good and he just put Syracuse on his shoulders and dominated every game.

  • I actually remeber watching this tournament and I'll have to admit that mcnamara went absolutely bananas during this tournament he was just scoring at will he just had one of those moments where he just could not miss.

  • g$...should've gotten into the NBA

  • those were the best bunch of finishes in NCAA history

  • I remember watching the Uconn game in Watson hall in my room and the whole building blew up when he hit that shot to tie it to go to OT you could hear schine going crazy too it was insane!

  • I'm thinking that eventually he could become an assistant for SU. I just always thought he would be like Mike Hopkins and become a coach.

  • can anyone post the actual telecast of theses games?? it would be awfully sweet. LETS GO ORANGE!!

  • this is a work of art ^

  • if he hadn't of gotten injured he`d def be playin in the league now man u cant stop him dropping shots over 7'3 roy hibbert wtf that shit is ridiculous

  • Ill never forget watching the Uconn Syracuse game in school. I missed my bus and had to run home a mile in the pouring rain.

  • i remember watching it in gym class. our teacher pulled a tv into the gym and let us watch instead of actually teaching us

  • you can give me every MJ moment, every Wayne Gretzky goal, every Hank Aaron home run, every Jerry Rice catch, every Tiger Woods golf round, and i will remain steadfast.

    This was the single greatest string of indiviual performances EVER in ANY sport.

    I remember watching these games, and it send a chill down my spine and brings a tear to my eye every time I see McNamara's buzzer beaters. Syracuse might have won this tournament, but it seemed like G-Mac was the only one on the floor.

  • this kid lives up the street from me and he rocks at b-ball!!!

  • work

  • how is chris quin palying in the nba

  • I ask anyone who will listen to me how Quinn is in the NBA and Gerry isn't. Just pathetic.

  • travis denner is playing in the league now

  • hey steve ur wrong man he wasnt drafted because of his size and the fact he wasnt overly fast or a two point guard he was really an undersized two gaurd.

  • Gmac took fat dumps on Chris Quinn in college. If Gmac didnt get hurt at the end of his senior year theres no question he'd be in the league right now

  • Damn, I miss GMac.

  • damn did yall see the form and rotation aagainst UConn

  • Best Big East performance ever--by a mile.

  • good video

  • 2nd song killed it

  • NBA material

  • G-Mac baby !!!!!!!!!

  • best white boy yet!

  • He didn't get drafted because he wasn't showy enough. You need to be showy for the NBA. It's all about the money.

  • He wasnt drafted because he was injury prone.

  • Wow this was a sick video. Thanks for posting this. Can you do one without the music? It would be some awesome. Just in the beginning would be good as an intro.

  • The most clutch performance of any tournament or any stretch of games in any sport by one player.

  • i like randolph childress in the acc tournament back in 95

  • He was amazing in the Big East Tourney that year. By far my favorite player of all time. He just needs a break in NBA and he will get it one day. He has heart and thats what is missing in the NBA

  • he is the best

  • the biggest heart on the court belonged to the smallest guy. he was a great college basketball player and respect to jim for sticking up for his players like that.

  • Take off the music...itd be sweet.

  • greatest run in Big East tourney history....!

  • sick ass video! he shouldve gotten drafted

  • One of the most unbelievable displays I've ever seen from an individual. Pissed me off that they beat Cincy, though. :p

  • great video man

  • what is the first song

  • remeber the name

  • what song is that?

  • real deal

  • i wish we could hear the real game audio instead of these crap songs, though

  • You want real game audio....make your own video, asshole.

  • one of the greatest clutch players of all time

  • Gerry Mcnamara - Unseen HS Footage - Only on my channel

  • O rly? Where?
