@bigjuicydick The only thing those two have in common is their skill with shooting the ball. Fredette is easily one of the BIGGEST ball hogs of all time. How dare you compare the great Mark Price with this piece of trash a.k.a. Fredette.
they took out hand checking. it's never been easier to play offense as a perimeter player. those arguing mark wouldn't be superb in today's league are wrong.
Nowdays NBA isn't better than 80's and 90's NBA, so if Price was a star back then, he would be a star today too.Great player, so intense and talented.
underated are you kidding me...jordan said he was embarassed becouse they said he was the greatest to ever play the game...you had john stockton ron harper the glove and more....if you ask me he is perfectly rated...
def one of the most underrated players in history. If he didnt get hurt he woulda had the great stats. he prolly wouldnt have one a championship cause Michael Jordan but he would have been top 5 PG's alltime. To me he was better than stockton, kidd, jackson because he had the ability to take a game over by himself unlike them 3 guys
Kids today don't realize who mark price even is or how freakin great of a player he was. One of the Top shooting guards to ever play the game. Damn i miss watching him school people on the court
No, it's because his numbers were good but not great (career average 15.2 ppg, 6.7 apg). Had he stayed healthier longer and been more productive longer maybe he's in the discussion but he falls just below the line. And yes, if he had led his team to championships maybe his numbers don't matter quite so much but he didn't. If he goes in then so should Kevin Johnson, Mark Jackson and other very good but not quite great NBA point guards from that era.
he was a way better shooter than john stockton. probably the best pure shooting point guard to play that position. very underrated and never got the props cause he played on a cleveland cavs team that had to play the bulls and pistons all the time
One of my favorite videos of Price is during a game against the Bulls were he just embarrasses a young B.J. Armstrong. They ended up losing the series but Price dominated Armstrong.
@ebastadammeneuno Look forward to the next season, mate. The "BEST" Cavs team is in the future. If that´s not the case, then the franchise should smoke its own ashes in a big, fat joint...
Does the city of Cleveland remember Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance, and Craig Ehlo?
At one point in time (for those of the few basketball fans), the Cleveland Cavaliers had 3 (or maybe 4) players on the Eastern Conference All-Star Team, in which a couple of those players could be future Hall of Fame(rs).
@jokershoe23 Lots of amazing teams did not achieve the freankin´ ring... And?????????????
Only stupid fucks measure success with the "win the championship" predictable idea. Only one team per year does it, understand? So, the whole "champion" team is formed by "All stars -or- Hall of Fame" players? NO! It´s an insult to BASKETBBALL (and your intelligence) to think otherwise. Watch the damn game, man... Then, you will learn something...
@jokershoe23 Yeah, has a lot to do with Jordan there. They aren't the only unfortunate victims. Ewing and his Knicks, Miller and his pacers, Penny and his Magic and Zo and his Heat had to deal with his Jackson and the bulls.
But if they were around now, they'd sweep the LEASTERN conference of the last decade even without Lebron.
When the two numbers I wanted in high school (9 & 27) got taken one year I wore 25 because of Price...amazingly enough that was my best shooting year I ever had...I went 90.3 % from the free throw line that year too.

VeoShock, sometimes I try to just remember what precisely it was like just before I could dunk the ball. Just after I practiced the training course program at 50inch vertical[dot]com - my skills has been improving dramatically I'm not a bench player anymore!
@kevinpever I guess due to injuries but its rather hard to be great when every point guard is putting similar numbers, playing defense and helping run the team. Also playing in the East meant dealing with Jordan in the playoffs. But I never was surprised with the Steve Nash craze when I could remember efficient point guards like stockton and price in the 90's. The former could also play defense as well.
i actually know him and his son. this is the first clip ive seen of him playing though. i never would have expected that he played so energetically and crazy like that because he's so chilled out and relaxed now haha. he can still shoot like crazy though.
What a fucking idiot. "White boy" will soon be as politically incorrect as "negro" is. White men need to stop letting other races make us feel guilty about shit we had no part of and to say what they please as we have to choose carefully what words we use. Im tired of the double standards.
If you play bball at all, you gotta check out snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining. It’s a vertical training program that will help you start dunking and you don't even need to go to the gym (if you don't want to)!
@joes28 but the fact is they did, actually more true 2-3 zone, because big men were allowed to camp out in the lane no defensive second rule...and they don't run zone that much now, when they do, you'll see scoring rise...Suns just tried it on the Lakers and they scored 4 straight easy baskets
Think about this, He was ALL NBA FIRST TEAM in the 1992-93 season along with Jordan, Malone, Barkley and Olajuwon. Thats pretty good company and beat out John Stockton and a host of other great point gaurds for that spot. He's better than Nash..
Definately better than Williams, they are not even in the same class, The only one you can make a debate with is Paul... but he lacks the out side range and hasn't done that much in the playoffs yet. As for Nash, Nash is kind of like Price's younger brother so to speak.
That being said, Price's numbers are really amazing. His best years were very comparable to the best years from Isiah, Stockton, and Nash. However, Cleveland's struggles in the playoffs keeps him (just barely) out of the top 5.
I really don't think Price and the Cavs struggled all that much in the playoffs. They would play the Celtics and Bulls tough. Lenny had that team playing very well for about 5 good years. It's too bad that they lost Daugherty to injury though.
Believe it or not...Mark Price is the GREATEST 2nd round draft pick EVER in the history of Pro Basketball! I have seen him play and he was great to watch. Not to mention a well regarded Christian singer. Very nice video.
@zyxwut321 Much slower? Disagree. Maybe a half-a-step slower at most. He was very quick. But as you know, the white point guard always has an uphill battle for respect.
Gordon's lost a little in recent years so maybe not "much slower" now though as a younger player Gordon was very, very quick. I do agree that Price was definitely underrated and underappreciated in his time and certainly afterwards. Still, I think he would have a lot of trouble in today's game keeping up with guys like John Wall, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose. He was one of those very good but not quite great players who we tend to remember with slightly rose colored glasses.
@zyxwut321 Yeah, Price isn't as quick as those players you mentioned, but he was a far superior shooter than those guys. He would still be a top five PG in today's game easily.
He was definitely one of the best pure shooters among point guards in NBA history. I just think his size (generously listed at 6' with average sized arms and hands) along with his relative lack of quickness compared to elite point guards of today means he would struggle defensively as well as getting his shot off and getting his passes through tight passing angles and windows. A long quick two guard like Kobe could probably guard him & shut him down. He'd be effective, just not great.
@zyxwut321 Looked pretty damn quick to me. Easily a top PG in today's NBA. Plus, when you can shoot from anywhere size doesn't mean as much, and it opens up the court since the D has to play honest when you have a sick shooter.
@DoNotTreadOnME2012: He was. I remember seeing him play in person as a kid a few times and he was quick, though not as much as those highlights would suggest. Even in his era I remember he tended to get lit up by bigger and faster guards on the defensive end.
I still think he would have some trouble getting his shots and passes off consistently in traffic. He really was pretty small by NBA standards even then. Not to say he wouldn't have success. Just slightly limited. Like Jimmer will too.
He was also a more talented shooter than passer (not a bad passer, at times even creative) and was more of an undersized two guard though he had a point guard's mentality. He was probably along the lines of Kevin Johnson, a solid, top 5 point guard of his era but not quite the transformative player a great player is and just below a HOFer. It's also hard to tell because injuries took their toll early on. It's interesting because Jimmer Fredette seems to be very similar talentwise.
Second-best Cavalier of all-time after LeBron. Only Cavalier besides LeBron who could truly be called a great player.
As for the Price-Stockton comparisons... I'm not going to say Price was better, but having watched them go against one another in some great Cavs-Jazz matchups back in the day, there wasn't much separation between the two. In the early '90s Price was right up there w/Stockton and Hardaway as the best PGs in the NBA.
Definitely one of the most underrated guards in NBA history. Someone said it, let's remember he played in a tougher era before the Iverson no touch rule helped out the smaller quicker guards coming into the league. He was about doing what ever it took to win. Gritty player with excellent team offensive skills
I'm from Cleveland Cav's territory and was fortunate enough to see many games with Mark playing. He is a legend...he is still talked about around Cleveland basketball. Good days...good times!
racist ? - holy fuck - this is why youtube nation shouldn't allow uneducated kids to spew their vitriole - get an education fuckhead - there's absolutely nothing racist about that comment - to a moron like you perhaps - racism is a hatred or intolerance of another race - which usually manifests itself in discrimination, oppression or the belief that one's own race is superior to the other - there is nothing oppressive or discriminatory in that comment - you have alot to learn - stupid ass kid
dumbass fucking kids like you get my lunch everyday - and that's not even a joke - go back to your X-box and hanging out at the mall..fucking dumbass - you take an innocent comment ( btw i'm white you fucking mental midget )and cry " racism" without the foggiest fucking clue what that term actually means - and then step to me and call me dumb - you ignorant little piece of shit ?? go get me a bagel and then go play in traffic - dipshit.
and wow - what an intellectual fucking giant you must be - " ooooh - you're a cunt face - you're a pubic hair shaving homo " - huh ? pubic hair - cunts - you gotta a fascination with genitals there oyster meat ?? racist - hahaha - if i say Obama is the best black politician of all time - that make me a racist ? those are the best whitey point guards in history..nothing racist about it - you're a fucking joke - i'm done with you - go run a hundred metre dash in a ninety metre gym.
always some fucking moron somehwere that has to chime in - and it's always some fucking dumbass kid like you. what are you pulling in school chico ? straight fucking D's? - look up the definiton of ' racism " and then come up with an intelligent comment about how my comment can be construed as racist - this should be fun. was it unnecessary to add that they're white ? perhaps. does that make it racist ?? absolutely not - i'm a lawyer dickhead - and you're in WAAAY over you're head.
furthermore - while you're being completely fucking owned and embarrassed as to your stupidity - if i was to say that those are the top 3 point guards of all time - one could argue all day that that statment is inaccurate - to say that they're the best " whitey" point guards further defines the criteria to which the statement applies and enhances and/or strenghtens the argument - not that i was " creating an all white list" as you suggest..ahh fuck - i'm tired of writing - and you're a moron.
actually i'm not done with you yet - because you're immaturity and stupidity needs adressing - and since you stepped to me in a highly ignorant manner - you're education will continue. " Best " lists are often created and defined according to race - again - not that that was my intention - but to clarify it for a moron like you how it can be done without being racist - i'll point you to Ebony's list of the " 50 Most Important Black Women of the last 50 years "
now oh wise Rhodes Scholar and expert in racism and race relations - is Ebony's list racist ? can a comparison be drawn to a list that acknowledges the achivements of black women to a list of great white point guards ? There are no discernible differences Ebony's list ( and their are countless others - there's a similar latino list as well ) has race as one of the criteria for inclusion - I ask you again - does that make the editors of Ebony racist? For creating such a list ?
The answer - moron - is no - it does not make the creation of such a list racist in any way shape or form - white people, asian people, latino people - are not protesting outside of Ebony's offices with the claim that their list is " racist ". Race is sometimes used as a " differentiator ". Doesn't mean it's " racist ". Got it yet fuckhead ??? thing is - racism wasn't even close to what i was aiming for with that comment - leave it to a moron like you to spin it - get a clue dude .
i don't know if you're white or black - doesn't really matter - i'll give you an example either way that should clear it up with you - cause i know you're probly struggling with some of the concepts i've outlined - but i could say that " Gencbiba is the dumbest black guy i know " - or i could say that " gencbiba is the dumbest white guy i know " - now - you - because you're a moron - would likely see those comments as racist
however - anyone who graduated from high school - would see that that neither comment is inherently racist if the classification of your race is accurate - if you happen to be the " dumbest white guy i know " - the primary characteristic of you're stupidity is the focus - the " white " part is just an adjective that does two things - A) describes your race in an accurate manner - and B.) excludes other races from the statement...
this can be an important distinction you see...because while you may not be the " dumbest guy i know " - you very well could be the " dumbest white guy I know "- are you getting this yet fuckhead ???? see where i'm going with this ? i've used race here as a descriptor within the statement to clarify it and further define it - and wow - I"ve managed to do that without discriminating against or oppressing against other races !!!! WOW - hope you learned something today moron. take it easy.
yeah-- you been fuckig owned clown-- not one comment on the actual topic and you're ridiculous completely fucking dumbass insinuation that i'm racist - jan you're a dumbass- go fuck your mother assclown..peace out
i hated c-town loved price dnot ever disgrace mark by comparing anyone of the jason williama to him he was a true floor general no one like him todat or last 10 years
I love his stroke from downtown but anybody else notice whenever he goes in to drive he's always banking it off the glass? Fundamentals may be boring but definitely gets the job done with a highly efficient, no no-nonesense player like Price.
Shawn Kemp was great. One of my favorite quotes of his came from his days in Cleveland. A reporter asked Shawn how much he weighed (he was getting real fat around this time) and Kemp came back with "I weigh 20 points and 10 rebounds." LOL!
there will never be another pure shooter like mark price ever again, his stroke was the absolute purest, if any nba player can get his shooting coached by price he should consider himself one lucky son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
There's a play that I haven't been able to find. It was Mark Price tossing an underhanded (with both hands after doing a circular motion with the ball in his hands) no-look alley-oop pass to Ron Harper. That's one of the baddest plays ever and I've never been able to find it. Has anyone seen video of that play? I think it was against the Bulls.
God I miss those Cavs teams...

Definately better than Williams, they are not even in the same class, The only one you can make a debate with is Paul... but he lacks the out side range and hasn't done that much in the playoffs yet. As for Nash, Nash is kind of like Price's younger brother so to speak.

1) Magic
2) The Big O
3) Stockton
4) Isiah
5) Nash
That being said, Price's numbers are really amazing. His best years were very comparable to the best years from Isiah, Stockton, and Nash. However, Cleveland's struggles in the playoffs keeps him (just barely) out of the top 5.
reddwarfposse 2 years ago
I really don't think Price and the Cavs struggled all that much in the playoffs. They would play the Celtics and Bulls tough. Lenny had that team playing very well for about 5 good years. It's too bad that they lost Daugherty to injury though.

Believe it or not...Mark Price is the GREATEST 2nd round draft pick EVER in the history of Pro Basketball! I have seen him play and he was great to watch. Not to mention a well regarded Christian singer. Very nice video.

Mark Price very underrated. Imagine Ben Gordons shooting and Chris Pauls passing ability and you have Price.

@vcatequista Ben Gordon wish he could shoot like Mark...Mark is easily 1 of the top 10 shooters of all time...Ben's not even in the top 200.

Price was much slower than Gordon and certainly Paul but not a bad analogy.
zyxwut321 3 months ago
@zyxwut321 Much slower? Disagree. Maybe a half-a-step slower at most. He was very quick. But as you know, the white point guard always has an uphill battle for respect.
bull864 3 months ago
@bull864:
Gordon's lost a little in recent years so maybe not "much slower" now though as a younger player Gordon was very, very quick. I do agree that Price was definitely underrated and underappreciated in his time and certainly afterwards. Still, I think he would have a lot of trouble in today's game keeping up with guys like John Wall, Chris Paul and Derrick Rose. He was one of those very good but not quite great players who we tend to remember with slightly rose colored glasses.
zyxwut321 3 months ago
@zyxwut321 Yeah, Price isn't as quick as those players you mentioned, but he was a far superior shooter than those guys. He would still be a top five PG in today's game easily.
bull864 2 months ago
@bull864:
He was definitely one of the best pure shooters among point guards in NBA history. I just think his size (generously listed at 6' with average sized arms and hands) along with his relative lack of quickness compared to elite point guards of today means he would struggle defensively as well as getting his shot off and getting his passes through tight passing angles and windows. A long quick two guard like Kobe could probably guard him & shut him down. He'd be effective, just not great.
zyxwut321 2 months ago
@zyxwut321 Looked pretty damn quick to me. Easily a top PG in today's NBA. Plus, when you can shoot from anywhere size doesn't mean as much, and it opens up the court since the D has to play honest when you have a sick shooter.
DoNotTreadOnME2012 2 months ago
@DoNotTreadOnME2012: He was. I remember seeing him play in person as a kid a few times and he was quick, though not as much as those highlights would suggest. Even in his era I remember he tended to get lit up by bigger and faster guards on the defensive end.
I still think he would have some trouble getting his shots and passes off consistently in traffic. He really was pretty small by NBA standards even then. Not to say he wouldn't have success. Just slightly limited. Like Jimmer will too.
zyxwut321 2 months ago
@bull864:
He was also a more talented shooter than passer (not a bad passer, at times even creative) and was more of an undersized two guard though he had a point guard's mentality. He was probably along the lines of Kevin Johnson, a solid, top 5 point guard of his era but not quite the transformative player a great player is and just below a HOFer. It's also hard to tell because injuries took their toll early on. It's interesting because Jimmer Fredette seems to be very similar talentwise.

Second-best Cavalier of all-time after LeBron. Only Cavalier besides LeBron who could truly be called a great player.
As for the Price-Stockton comparisons... I'm not going to say Price was better, but having watched them go against one another in some great Cavs-Jazz matchups back in the day, there wasn't much separation between the two. In the early '90s Price was right up there w/Stockton and Hardaway as the best PGs in the NBA.

Definitely one of the most underrated guards in NBA history. Someone said it, let's remember he played in a tougher era before the Iverson no touch rule helped out the smaller quicker guards coming into the league. He was about doing what ever it took to win. Gritty player with excellent team offensive skills

racist ? - holy fuck - this is why youtube nation shouldn't allow uneducated kids to spew their vitriole - get an education fuckhead - there's absolutely nothing racist about that comment - to a moron like you perhaps - racism is a hatred or intolerance of another race - which usually manifests itself in discrimination, oppression or the belief that one's own race is superior to the other - there is nothing oppressive or discriminatory in that comment - you have alot to learn - stupid ass kid

dumbass fucking kids like you get my lunch everyday - and that's not even a joke - go back to your X-box and hanging out at the mall..fucking dumbass - you take an innocent comment ( btw i'm white you fucking mental midget )and cry " racism" without the foggiest fucking clue what that term actually means - and then step to me and call me dumb - you ignorant little piece of shit ?? go get me a bagel and then go play in traffic - dipshit.

always some fucking moron somehwere that has to chime in - and it's always some fucking dumbass kid like you. what are you pulling in school chico ? straight fucking D's? - look up the definiton of ' racism " and then come up with an intelligent comment about how my comment can be construed as racist - this should be fun. was it unnecessary to add that they're white ? perhaps. does that make it racist ?? absolutely not - i'm a lawyer dickhead - and you're in WAAAY over you're head.
MrChiffy 2 years ago
furthermore - while you're being completely fucking owned and embarrassed as to your stupidity - if i was to say that those are the top 3 point guards of all time - one could argue all day that that statment is inaccurate - to say that they're the best " whitey" point guards further defines the criteria to which the statement applies and enhances and/or strenghtens the argument - not that i was " creating an all white list" as you suggest..ahh fuck - i'm tired of writing - and you're a moron.
MrChiffy 2 years ago
actually i'm not done with you yet - because you're immaturity and stupidity needs adressing - and since you stepped to me in a highly ignorant manner - you're education will continue. " Best " lists are often created and defined according to race - again - not that that was my intention - but to clarify it for a moron like you how it can be done without being racist - i'll point you to Ebony's list of the " 50 Most Important Black Women of the last 50 years "
MrChiffy 2 years ago
now oh wise Rhodes Scholar and expert in racism and race relations - is Ebony's list racist ? can a comparison be drawn to a list that acknowledges the achivements of black women to a list of great white point guards ? There are no discernible differences Ebony's list ( and their are countless others - there's a similar latino list as well ) has race as one of the criteria for inclusion - I ask you again - does that make the editors of Ebony racist? For creating such a list ?
MrChiffy 2 years ago
The answer - moron - is no - it does not make the creation of such a list racist in any way shape or form - white people, asian people, latino people - are not protesting outside of Ebony's offices with the claim that their list is " racist ". Race is sometimes used as a " differentiator ". Doesn't mean it's " racist ". Got it yet fuckhead ??? thing is - racism wasn't even close to what i was aiming for with that comment - leave it to a moron like you to spin it - get a clue dude .
MrChiffy 2 years ago
i don't know if you're white or black - doesn't really matter - i'll give you an example either way that should clear it up with you - cause i know you're probly struggling with some of the concepts i've outlined - but i could say that " Gencbiba is the dumbest black guy i know " - or i could say that " gencbiba is the dumbest white guy i know " - now - you - because you're a moron - would likely see those comments as racist
MrChiffy 2 years ago
however - anyone who graduated from high school - would see that that neither comment is inherently racist if the classification of your race is accurate - if you happen to be the " dumbest white guy i know " - the primary characteristic of you're stupidity is the focus - the " white " part is just an adjective that does two things - A) describes your race in an accurate manner - and B.) excludes other races from the statement...
MrChiffy 2 years ago
this can be an important distinction you see...because while you may not be the " dumbest guy i know " - you very well could be the " dumbest white guy I know "- are you getting this yet fuckhead ???? see where i'm going with this ? i've used race here as a descriptor within the statement to clarify it and further define it - and wow - I"ve managed to do that without discriminating against or oppressing against other races !!!! WOW - hope you learned something today moron. take it easy.

There's a play that I haven't been able to find. It was Mark Price tossing an underhanded (with both hands after doing a circular motion with the ball in his hands) no-look alley-oop pass to Ron Harper. That's one of the baddest plays ever and I've never been able to find it. Has anyone seen video of that play? I think it was against the Bulls.
