penny and webber!!!!

[DuckwalkSupreme]

Interesting collection of players...Penny Hardaway, awesome. Toni Kukoc-Part of the initial wave of Europeans, I'm sure. Chris Webber-Pretty damn good, too. Sam Cassell-Was an alien, and got a couple championship rings PJ Brown-Played forever, Byron Russell-Pretty damn good coach. Shawn Bradley-Shouldn't have been picked at number 2, but retired with 2119 blocks, 10th all-time when he retired, 13th all-time now, plus he's number 9 in career blocks per game, 2nd in block percentage. Good group.

[rowejam072000]

He called Mashburn monster man...lol

[cromarko91]

Kukoc and Radja... our best players at the time

[Sweat404]

Damn there were some good rookies that year

[xdachinamanx]

dang jamal mashburn

[swl9380]

what the heck happen to Dino Radja, he was good player for celtics but after his 2 or 3 rd year, after that, nothing bout him, any one know what happen to him ???

[VodkaDrunkenski]

@swl9380 Pitino traded him to the Sixers in the offseason when he became coach but Dino failed his physical in Philly. So, he decided to go back to Europe which in retrospect was a good decision because of his bad knees.

[macoy346]

who won the rookie of the year?....penny or webber?..

[gunnyblitz1]

lmao boy pj brown was in that class!? damn i thought he was older than that. 2011 he still playin . s/o penny and chris!!!!

[mateoo2]

Bradley dunked! :D

[jason60152]

@mateoo2 He was 7 foot 6 he better dunk. lol

[1261092]

i remember this rookie class it was the first draft i paid attention to i was like 12yrs old. I made sure i collected all the rookie cards from that year and i also remember getting a c web jersey from when he was in golden state. Man it was fun to be a kid back then.

[jrod0806]

"Sensations and Phenoms"... only in the 90's...

[simsdale]

dat was a good draft year

[playap23]

great game :)

[Snoopydawg26]

ahhhh i miss old school basketball like this, the league is too watered down now

[makeitrain47]

NBA gets an A for creativity back in the day, using "Phenoms" and "Sensations" instead of just "Rookies" and "Sophomores" or "West Rookies and "East Rookies".

[MrSushi21]

How does Shawn Bradley lose the opening tip?

Seriously ... if there is ONE THING you think he could do.

[tommybrown187]

sam casell was once a rookie??

[destructoboy995]

That Chris Webber jam with 7 seconds left was SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tonzjah]

Big draft!!!!

[PJHunterTJ]

Back when Rookies could actually play a little.

[yankeefan42]

The NBA was soooo much cooler back then.

[matteinho8]

FANTASTIC ROSTERS

[CroPETROforever]

00:12 look at the smile of fucking shawn bradley haha, I think he smiles becouse he would become bith of NBA in later seasons... everyone dunkes on his ass haha

[doule76]

thanks for upload. great class..although toni and doni aren`t real rookies, but each one of them a class of their own;-) and penny was a outstanding player, maybe he would have become one of the greatest to play the game, if there weren`t his enjury problems...

[andyfnmizac1]

I'd love to have the full game of this.

[xXblackoutXx00]

shawn does good here

[Grapes428]

Shawn Bradley, the reason why drafting super tall guys will not fulfill your team needs. Dino Radja, greatest player ever haha. Sam Cassell never got any quicker. I never liked Van Exel because of his cockiness. Antonio Davis at 4:19 saying "I can't wait till this game is over so I can watch the dunk and 3 pt. shootout contest after."

[undertakerii]

why everybody hates bradley?

[trickpanda]

awesome, thanks for posting.

[hmwillow]

incredible talents in these teams, but with somewhat disappointing nba careers.

[r8mi]

penny was so smooth!!

[jaynice22]

LMAO Wat was the deal with the four handed slam? Rookies... ;-) :-D

[PATROKLOSSSS]

What's the deal with defense in a rookie game? God I hate Bradley

[jaynice22]

Hey I wanted to see the MVP part. Did you tape any interviews?

[baldheadkid]

Ah sorry man.. as soon as Penny gets the MVP, I got an episode of Hangin With Mr Cooper starting! Back in the day VHS tapes werent cheap for a 12 year old!

[jaynice22]

@baldheadkid Oh no worries man, I appreciate you putting this up in the first place. I love 90's ball, and love Penny Hardaway. I never caught this game so that's why I was mad anxious to see the very end. Ha, even though its almost 20 years old. WOW

[RohoicRamz94]

Thank you so much I used to watchthis game every day studying Nick and Pennys moves.I lost the tape have it back home but at least I get to see it though thanks bhkid!

[maine2132]

@baldheadkid CLASSIC!! lol

[omlet86]

@baldheadkid whats the name of the SONG IN THE BEGINING? please!!!!

[baldheadkid]

@omlet86 hey man the song is 'Shame on a Nigga' by the Wu Tang Clan :)

[fabiop82]

fantastic i have this tape :) nice game

[lMlIlKlE8D]

wooow.

[jaboo82681]

Wow, I remember watchin this back in 94... That was a pretty good draft class!! I think only Kukoc, Cassell and Lindsey Hunter have championship rings.

[arkade2345]

isaih rider got one with the lakers in 2001 i think although he barely played.

pj brown got one with the celts

[CroatBasketball]

@jaboo82681

Kukoc and Radja were not from this draft class

Dino was drafted 89. whille Kukoc 90. bouth in 2nd round

[niksisero]

they played in europe

[jimmychuang]

Once upon a time, Penny Hardaway was an explosive player.

[leadiceman22]

@jimmychuang that is true, also Tk should be considered a lot more better

[fabfive8]

Thanx for this vid one of my favorite rookie classes
