The Last of the True Playground Legends, Rafer Alston

[DaPro2Ducer]

skip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[18jakelafreniere]

this song can go.....

[kamokid76]

BRING HIM BAC FROM CHINA!!!!

[mcbrizzle82]

the song.... really??



[jozoMostar]

It's 240 p but still epic :0

[lilsweetness95]

lmao at 1:18 when he gets his shit blocked

[TheHeisman32]

He Got His Stuf Beat Lol

[MrGalactoseify]

@annou23 well said,.. t

[Koolisthename33]

@412dea tru that

[412Dae]

He is one of my favorite players he goes to hard...

[andrewyes1]

the best the next mikel jordon

[mjr201289]

what i love about skip, is that he played ball in the right way, the true way, because he loved to ball. Sauce and the guys after him used his legacy to make it about "battling" and about being against other ballers. Skip set the standard, he set the way the game should be played, and he is the true legend of streetball

[MrLemonade87]

he got his shit peiced 1:19, but he is still my fav player

[khuntlika]

Wtf is up with this faggoty music!

[king88m1]

this song sucks for this vid

[iscommunity]

here some streetball moves from the farm search for:

Sport World: Albert Lageveen - Can You Beat Me?

Also nice xzibit soundtrack.

[bobguythingdude]

hahaha. i like the one where he gets stuffed. good shit though

[big2009ish]

At 2:00 he was on beat

[jdector53]

world's greatest average backup point guard

[LedZeppelin420x]

@jdector53 yah but you couldnt take him 1v1 so get over it

[jdector53]

@LedZeppelin420x

"1v1"? GET THE FUCK OUT

[imnotftw]

damn he broke my ankles

[st3nkobe]

The difference i n rafers game and the average streetballer is you can see that the foundation of his game is fundamental. He probably mastered those first and added the street style later.

[1xurbansniperx1]

name of song?

[MrLemonade87]

@1xurbansniperx1 umm worlds greatest it says it about 30 times

[spitboi7]

@1xurbansniperx1 Wow can't you look underneath the view count? I didn't know but just look there >.>

[dylanemerson]

skip is the goat in the ebc r any where he piayz he can say he sent lbj home in 09 how many can say that

[stephaniemillerk]

yoyo Prop, if you wish to improve in basketball, you have to start sticking with a proper workout routine. I used widely known nba training routine over at "50-inch-vertical[dot]com". I didn t even tell this to my high school teammates yet ha

[leefunkeylocks24]

rafer needs to go back to the rockets or sumtn better...the heat is holdin him back (1 season suspension)

[nayrbhai]

This is my grammar school graduation song. Class of 2010

[toyama14]

lol song wut? lol

[djjdog100]

the original streetball king hes the absolute man

[mike70536]

ok this song made it seem like he died or something he just went to the NBA its gone be ok

[benpeoples123]

rafer alston is the beasttttt!

[BakemonoShiz]

where it all started at...nuff said.

[rfoster14]

he got the shit blocked out of him at 1:18

[annou23]

if van gundys ass wasnt so stupid he woulda kept rafer in that last game in the finals cuz jameer nelson just came off injury and was playin like shit and rafer was tearin it up

[jamesfmac]

@annou23 I said the same thing when that happened lol

[turner03122]

@annou23 He was running that team all the way through the playoffs...Even against the Lakers...in hind sight Magic had a better chance beating the Lakers with Alston then they need with a injured Nelson.

[Anjrithsxz]

I like the song. Is there anybody know what song it is? And who's the singer?

[BballStarr3]

world's greatest- r kelly

[mrmonkey654]

@BballStarr3 thank u for that name i have been seacrhing 4 this song 4 yrs

[TheShawnm94]

I liked when he dribbled. :)

[324Smith]

1:17 this dude don't give a fuck if he can dribble hahaha

[Sleyer07]

I wish he stayed with orlando

[AmatureCreationz]

only a great song would go with a great ball player like this.

[mrbdo92]

Is it just me or does he get blocked at 1:19?

[stovenutts]

@mrbdo92 I think it's just you getting blocked

[Sleyer07]

@mrbdo92 shhhhhh you didn't see anything lol

[TheMontrell19]

"dont confuse with these sucka's, cause when I spit you hear more ohhs than a Skip To My Lou move at the Rucker"

[jamexxxxxx]

where is he now

[yokiddingme]

@jamexxxxxx with king james and prince wade

[jamexxxxxx]

@yokiddingme what do you mean he is not in heats

[BballStarr3]

 free agent

[ufukozdes]

i think he should go back to the streets. where he did born.. i would be nice.

[210abe]

I agree with the true playground legend thing but trust me he ain't the last there will be more to come

Man I can't believe how old these vids were

[EazyE864]

when i heard the chrous come on all i said was "world's greatest my ass"

[JewlzxDuhh]

@EazyE864

Haha you sound like a dumbass cuz he was the worlds best and1 player stupid.

[AIFORLIFE3]

2:00 he dances perfectly to tha song

[ishoy]

@AIFORLIFE3

The creator probably did that on purpose

[ICEmanIZZY37]

Wow. Nostalgia, when this dropped it was out of control! Good times.

[zazfilm]

when does the shooting begin?

[CiennaRivera]

Yeah represnting queens NY, thats my hometown... Check my vids out. Im a 2014 ranked top 15 in the country.

[TwisterUpThere]

why do they have to sensor the adidas logo?

[RLiz08]

rafer has been great thru his ballin career. now he's a free agent. hope he will bring his veteran playmaking skills in charlotte. he could mesh in LB's system. he did flourish in SVG's coaching style...

[doquytoan1609]

song???good

[MADNEES1]

STREETBALL 4  EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wufanvalencia]

Love Rafer!!

[ERICpwnsNOOBSallDAY]

atleat Rafer's moves dont violate the rules and he passes to his teammates not like fuckin hotsauce he just fuckin does moves in one spot and NEVER passes the damn ball thats why rafer made it to the NBA and hotsauce isnt

[ro42023]

if you look at Skips moves, they mostly end up in a pass or a layup. his hardly violets the rules, look at his steps. then AND 1 players atleast alot of them have made moves where they carry, travel, dont make any progress towards the basket or benefit his teamates. now adays you see guys just do moves in one spot and thats it. thats why i stopped watching AND 1. thats not TRUE streetball.

[BballStarr3]

Amen brother...

[ro42023]

the thing with Skip when he does moves, most of them do not violet the rules, they just look awkward but cool looking at the same time and his moves mostly end up in either a pass or a score. look at his moves and count his steps.

[mistersuko]

basketball is in his blood..

[BballStarr3]

I love this guy ...

[jobemo75]

Is a "playground legend" kind of like "the best american soccer player"? ....Great at a game that is a mockery to the real thing?

[anukin7]

@jobemo75 Playground ball is definitely not a mockery. You're mistaking it for trickball and1 mixtape ball, which yeah Skip was a part of but it started out as flat out street basketball with flair, unfortunately ended up as a circus cause of guys like Hotsauce

[evens617]

1:16 he gets blocked after embarrasing the whole team well who ever had balls to step up haha

[MyPenis13inchGirlFit]

He's still not a true playground legend, Even I could still do t! Heck even Larry Bird does it! I say, If you can do this, you can kill me now!:

watch?v=BdZR-o3-uj4

That one was THE harlem nba globtrotters and cant do half of this white man!

[DJHarrison93]

It's to bad the Heat let him go

[ImmaG205]

much respect......keep strivin rafer i aint hatin

[Sindykite]

This is a true street legend...i know there are many people out there that are hatin on him but thats cause they couldnt or cant be great all through high school, college, streetball, and then the NBA...Rafer leaves his mark where ever he goes...People say that a streetballer cant make it in the NBA but not just has Skip 2 My Lou made it but so has another many might know...Taurian Fontenette AKA--AIr Up There...

[23LeBronbbalKing]

I really love that guy, his smile just makes my day everytime I see him on TV, I am trully going to miss him, I am a Magic fan and he left only good memories in my mind, thank you Rafer for what you've done and what you've shown us, good luck for the rest, Skip 2 My Lou 4ever..

[flight23magic32]

I would love to see Pistol Pete Maravich playin in And 1 tournaments...and with his creativity on the loose...damn!

[SuperiorSwagon1]

what really makes him special is that after all the traveling in And 1 mixtape and shit, that he can be a starting player in theNBA...and not travel....maybe thats pushin it

[boogie7king]

im a really good bball player, my confidence has been low lately, but looking at this reminds me of how great i can continue to be, i got to start working hard again. im back

[carnalhiphop]

@boogie7king we all back homie

[hugedoinker]

@boogie7king you are a homo...seriously i hope you never play basketball again

[jpoynter9119]

@boogie7king go get em g

[12xeon12]

LEGEND

[cashbuyer24]

Rafer deserves thestarting role for Miami..better choice than Mario or Carlos.

[TheWhoisyourdaddy]

Welcome Home Rafer . Miami Heat!

[Galactic123]

lmao @ 1:19, he does a series of great moves, then gets his shot swatted.

[Clandsports]

Wat song is this?

[TrustNnme]

@Clandsports World Greatest - R.Keilly..

[prodigyking1]

skip to ma lou is nasty, he was the only one that proved that and1 aint bullshit, he went from and1 and went to the NBA because people said that and1 is bullshit and none of them would neva make it to the NBA and look whose in the NBA... SKIP TO MAH LOU, and he could cross niggas ova on the nba court is that theres acyually coaches there that wont let be him and he still does his stiff at timess, hes just flat out a legend boiii holla at meh

[Galactic123]

@prodigyking1 Not only did Skip PLAY in the NBA, he went all the way to the Finals last year as the starting PG for the Magic. I'd say his career is a success. He did well in Houston as well. Too bad his career seems to have hit a bit of a bump.

[hershey156]

o wow rafer is skip to my lou? wtf i never knew that how come he dont show off in the nba? and was he part of and1 when he was younger or something?

[ea23player9]

wow he cross up people like its nothing but i dnt see him do dat in the nba.

[yeagis911]

maybe cause nba players are a little quicker and he might end up losing the ball 50% of the time if he tried to humiliate the opponents every trip down the floor.

[Galactic123]

@ea23player9 cuz a lot of the things he's doing to put on a show in streetball would be considered a carry in the NBA. Streetball is more about entertaining people. Flashy streetball moves usually result in a turnover in the NBA. Which is why it's so hard for streetball legends to make it to the league. Rafer had to adjust his playstyle a lot to be successful in the NBA. Not many people can do that.

[TheWhoisyourdaddy]

what's a song?

[KaniaKaniewski]

R.kelly - Im the world´s greatest

[trickpanda]

hes amazing. wish he was still a rocket.

[tummyikke]

last legend? what happend to hot sauce, the profesor and air up there? we still have more legends then we might think..

[roadrunner7000]

Hot sauce.... dont get me started. There will never be another Skip to my lou, and profesor is good but he soft no disrespect to him

[beerrun34]

does anybody know who the shoes at the starting are from

[thugjuice69]

@beerrun34 And 1 tai chi lows... they just re-released them. I had those shoes an they BAD

[p7flip]

Danm when Skip reaches some confident on a NBA game he just KILL IT

[briang25]

i just wish rafer would go to a team that didnt already have a good pg hes good enough to start on about half the teams this guys so under rated in the nba i cant believe people dont appreciate how good he is just because they think hes a streetballer only but hes a great player either way

[Tmac10t]

@briang25 true miami need to go ahead and sign him back cause they need a player like him to make life a little easier on D-Wade and Lebron

[bluehighlighterfreak]

@briang25 are you crazy?

[92DeDam]

nice man u see the guys talent streetsoccer more my thing but this amazing

[JameelMamogkat]

0:48 to 1:00

[ELDoro]

Skip not only entertains but puts the rock in the hoop

[roadrunner7000]

he prolly gonna be the last great guys like hot sauce are why streetball is a joke to some people all sauce does is come up with entertaining ways to carry the ball

[Tonio99]

lmaoooo@him bein the last, like the rest just died

[amcleland1]

@Tonio99 haha street ball = dead

[Tonio99]

true, but it says the last of the streetball legends, im sure some are still alive sumwhere

[vash9]

haha. great to have a great backup PG.

Welcome to the Nets Skip.

[Diegolonches]

[iskateandball]

[Slamwoo93]

SKIP is a legend,but really gay music

[gatsnguns4life]

skip to my lou is so nice i luv how he skip when he dribbles and skips into his passes it's so damned unique he's a legend

[Dogfacerawr]

Yea the fact that he can still do some of these tricks on world class players in the nba is just amazing.

[take5nthink]

Rafer alston was acually goos he was not like hot sauce who just dribbles for fun until you fall or w/e he used to fuck niggas up now he n the nba doin ok ao kinda good too Ii can see him doin average in the nba

[boycoollike]

In game 4 dwight said dont be the nba rafer be your self Skip 2 my lou

[richardtherichard]

wish i could see that again. i rarely see any nba street moves anymore Dx it makes the game more interesting instead of jus pump fakes, double clutch, long 3s, fade away, alley-op etc.

i wanna see the behind the back fake which skip is master of.

[boycoollike]

Me too but at least now he is in new jersey he can now play street

[boycoollike]

@boycoollike Dam he moved to New york

[futbolpipol]

great vid ,pleasing song too

[DocFamous]

th3cootinator = racist ... anyone who mentions race as a way of describing who a person is, is themselves a racist. Plus adding freaks to it makes it histerically racist... imagine Don Imus saying "Black Freaks ...".... Nappy headed hoes wouldn't sound so bad then... you're racist, thats all, but its o.k., we're all entitled to some ignorance.

[zymuhabilis]

The baller is great, but that song! Ugh! Worst song ever! lol

[OllyHutton]

My new hero

C'mon tonight, same confidence of game 3

[EverSoTired]

they need to put a different song on this video. there's supposed to rap on bball videos not some pedophile r&b singer that likes to piss on 14 year old girls

[Drewb187]

name one other known streetball player who is in the league.. i'll wait..................(just in case you hurt yourself trying to figure it out).....NONE... i rest my case..he led the magic to the finals.. nuff said.. and is a 10 year vet....avg nba player is in the league 3-4 years
