[ginoblee94]

@92ronco pelle d'oca a vedere questi video...

[LED1019]

Hmm. He should be retired and in the HOF now, but instead, nothing.

[LED1019]

Hmm. He should be retired and in the HOF now, but instead, nothing.

[LisaFields22]

Ronnie Fields is a legend n he will always be one:)

[turtlehead2]

He was better than KG in High school and we see what he went on to be.

[chitownsuperfan]

lol theres some clear goaltending going on with some of those blocks

[tommiedavis1]

if only he could have made it to the nba

[tommiedavis1]

amazing talent

[bpsn109]

i played at hyde park high school against this cat major ups and had a jump shot better then kevin garnett at that time in high school fields chi-town hoop lengend

[cederberg8]

if he was in 2k11 they would have him a 100 vertical

[blackgat80]

lo vi el año pasado en venezuela en la lnb y conserva su salto intacto

[riddeln11]

people dont realize the 360 windmill at 3:52 was the first play of the second half that game..he laid EVERYTHING up in the first half and was getting booed haha dude had an unbelievable ability of playing to the crowd and it's too bad the rest of the world outside of Chicago didn't get to see him play

[QuebolaQuebolin]

To those wondering, the beat at the latter portion of the vid is from The Homestretch: Six Million Ways To Fly. Gem without a doubt.

[QuebolaQuebolin]

1stneed to know WHAT BEAT is that in the latter portion of the film? It's ill... Second espn make a 30 4 30 of Ronnie man please.

[wisnerma]

They lost to an all white Shaumburg in the state final.

[rener1102]

I just saw Ronnie Fields an hour ago at the gym. Looks good and carrying his basketball with him.

[crolandwenthe]

Just glad that some of his accomplishments were captured to video. This man is obviously one of the G.O.A.T.

Showing such a well rounded game. Hope he's found another path in life to be amazing at.

[paradiZZio26]

ye circus in town and our next number is : let all black dudes score into flacos hole

[Mr1chris5]

what happened to him?

[weaverb1227]

@Mr1chris5 car accident

[TheLeilisa]

how tall are you ?

is 5'10 good for basketball?

[dafinesse3000]

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN!

[uncleflaco]

Wow, another Uganda monkey throwing a ball through a metal ring - circus is in town huh?

[lastoneleft1000]

@uncleflaco TO BAD IT'S NOT A PALEFACE SKATING AROUND A FROZEN RINK -YOU WOULD LOVE IT THEN---LOLOLOLOLOL

[paradiZZio26]

ye circus in town and next number is let all black dudes play ball into flacos hole

[AFRIKTODAY]

@uncleflaco Properly arrange your sentences' structure if you intend to express your supposedly superiority. It is " Ugandan"!

[BonerSoup9]

2:37 is goaltending

[RIGDONSPOWERPIT]

why didnt he go to the nba.

[DCshoes102]

@RIGDONSPOWERPIT Unfortanatly Ronnie broke his neck in a car accident in Chicago and was never the same player after that.

[bonertown15]

What's the song that plays after the Saw theme?

[TravisofVL]

@bonertown15 JUELZ SANTANA - THE SECOND COMING. 

[bonertown15]

@TravisofVL thx

[CaseW22]

1:44 was sick.

[ajhgfhgjbjhbjhb]

So what happen to this dude? ive never heard of him before in my life till now.

[weaverb1227]

@ajhgfhgjbjhbjhb search him on wikipedia dude was nice

[ajhgfhgjbjhbjhb]

@weaverb1227 dam bro so he got in to a car accident and his neck broke? that sucks.

[macscope]

the next mike i thought supposed to be with kevin damn

[KGLookALike]

Yeah but they say even w/the broken neck, they think that broke his confidence, yeah he was hurt but they think it killed how he approached the game and he wasn't the same since. (as in he could have worked and got better but didnt)

[atl2maryland]

top of the square with his elbow??? even he doesnt believe that

[Poetstylez]

He would've fizzled out of the NBA after 2 seasons & a dunk championship ah-la Harold Miner

[unchboy]

I heard more of Ronnie Fields than Kevin Garnett back in the day. What happened to him was just as bad as what happened to another HS legend Ben Wilson (in terms of what could've been).

[metropolitan83]

Feilds is no better than a Jason Richardson

[God11Like]

@metropolitan83 Yeah he was as good as Jason Richardson when he was a junior IN highschool so you never know how good he would of been in the NBA

[talon8x]

Quin Buckner is the all time best player to come out of the Chicago area. 2 high school state titles when there was only one division.  NCAA title at Indiana. NBA title.

[jjjooe6676]

poor bastard broke his neck. he would of been a very exciting nba player

[jumpair23]

didn't he play with kevin garnett and get injured badly

[52039116]

@jumpair23 yes:/

[Favetop00]

imagine if he never sat in that car ... what could happen damn ! :S

[Ebone29]

3:47......sick for a HS kid

[TheRealJohnnyGuns]

It bothers me till this day what happened to him - he should've been one of the best in the NBA, instead he's a youtube High School Highlight - depressing. Ronnie "King of Hops" Fields, wherever you are, I miss ya buddy!

[TheDOLMET]

@TheRealJohnnyGuns

He's been playing in leagues around the world, the last few years. He's still young doing his thang, and he's in great shape, from what I've been told. Still dunking.

[uhhh24]

@TheRealJohnnyGuns Good example of someone who should have put more time into studying in school. If he had, he'd be in the NBA today. Hard lesson.

[willisclaytizzle]

@uhhh24 studying? he broke his neck in a car accident, never was the same. had nothing to do with grades. this is the mid 90's he would've gone straight to the league

[Game4564]

@uhhh24 car crash bro

[uhhh24]

@Game4564 I remember this well. He was out til all hours on a school night when he should have been home.

[Game4564]

@uhhh24 yeaa but you know all of us did that before, it was just an unfortunate circumstance what happen to him

[uhhh24]

@Game4564 That's true. It's just hard to see the career his teammate Kevin Garnett has had knowing that Ronnie Fields was just as talented.

[Julius8783]

@TheRealJohnnyGuns he still out here in the CHI hoopin. still got the hops. proud to say ive played against this dude at my gym and we were guarding each other

[tiyo87]

yo im starstruck. i just played ball against this guy at Xsport Fitness 2 hours ago. he still athletic man daym he cocked that bitch back on fastbreak and dunk it. i was blowin by him tho 3 times and scored three buckets on him. foreal im starstruck just got a chance to play against him

[saulandchina]

Which Xsport fitness you saw him at? is it in chicago?

[nickvaduz]

That's ridiculous. I'd say Derrick Rose is the greatest Chicago High School player because of the two titles. Isiah Thomas is by far the greatest player off all time from Chitown but might be challenged by Dwayne Wade. Derrick Rose could be up there, but maybe not #1.

[KnowledgeBall]

D-Wade betta than Isiah fam...He had a full squad..D-wade does it all by his damn self

[igz20]

at 0:50 they say he had 39 dunks! in the season i assume because in one game thats impossible

[Saynoclaasic270]

39 dunks in three games

[LED1019]

whats the first song haah

[rcaddell23]

Could have been one of the great ones.

[WheatonThunder51]

You are absolutely ignorant.

[DBLUEDEVILS44]

Better than MJ

[KnowledgeBall]

What The Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!

[thmpis]

A couple years ago they ranked the greatest Chicago High School players of all time He was was number one. Followed by KG.

[BIGROB80]

6'2 ? He looks like 6'4 at least, his jumping ability was amazing. It's a shame with the car accident because he looked NBA material. It's great that he continued despite the injury, very determined.

[playa4life23]

best dunk 1:45

[ducci42]

ay did this doc. ever got finished?

[xiorend]

I remember him he played here in the Phillipines back in the late 90's the TV announcers said he was famous because he was Kevin Garnetts teamate he was pretty good back then but nothing compared to the highlights in this video

[LLARZS]

excellent player overall...he indeed was in a car accident tht broke his neck..however his career wasnt over as some people believe...he signed a letter of intent to Depaul university but was turned down because of his academic inelligibility..so he still had a chance..the accident didnt actually end his career...hes in the CBA

[4nthony99]

Yup =)

He still played after the accident.

+ He inspirate people now ;)

He just had a long recovering that decreased his muscles & fysic.

[turduckenn]

actually its called 'six million ways to fly' my bad

[turduckenn]

the song is called 'million ways to fly' or something like that

[ScRiLLa2424]

I was in high school in the Chicago area when he was tearing it. This guy had mad skills. Him and Garnett on the same high school team!! INSANE!! There was mad buzz about this guy.

[5SHOOTOUT]

What is the name of the song which is played since 1:20???Please answere,beacause i can't find it.Importan.Peace!

[cardiffman2008]

[goobanuba]

[bmchoszen15]

[dirtyberts]

[mohammedoharc]

[Christmas800]

[cardiffman2008]

he didn't stop or die he still plays but his high school career ended when he was in a car crash that broke his neck.

[ayoitsayo]

[theprofessor23]

From 1:20 till end?

I am searching that song too, the rest I know.

[FlightNumber123]

Second Coming- Juelz Santana

[4nthony99]

[spiritring]

That Ronnie makes him talk and sound like Ronnie Coleman!!!!!!!!!

[4nthony99]

[4nthony99]

Awesome player!

He got hops.

Did he said he works on it or not?

[tedwardosmash132]

2:37 is such a goaltend lol

[13RMAC]

sick SAW music in the intro!

[DiSaSTa81]

Gud Muzik

Juelz my Fav and Those Dunks were -FIRE-

[GRACEtoHOPE]

Just a correction for the producer:

Earl "The GOAT" Manigault  is the most famous and arguably the best player never to make it to the League

[kprez007]

The movie "Rebound"  was about Earl. Great movie I highley recommend it...

[GSPfan10]

Says who?

[GRACEtoHOPE]

says the streets, homie look it up

like kprez007 says, you should peep "Rebound" and search him on youtube/google

[GSPfan10]

I own and have seen "Rebound" many times. You know that movie is "based" on a true story and not all fact. The stories about Ronnie are all true since they all backed by video evidence.

[pint1111]

whats the song ???

[tereno]

Juelz Santana - Second Coming

[spiritring]

What about Ronnie Coleman?

[CSXXw]

music in 0:46 ~ ?

[lulumufu]

diggin the "Saw" movie intro song lol

[Tommmaaah]

where's that last song from?

[Jcubedfilms]

why didnt he make the NBA?!

[Christmas800]

elbow in the rim easy at :37

[TheReemix01]

Yeah remember all the hype between Ronnie Fields.

Many says that he was able to throw down a 720 dunk.

Needless to say he was a wonderful basketball player who didn't had luck in his life, due to this accident.

It reminds me a bit Dajuan Wagner and Jay Williams.

[DaWiZ199]

Farragut academy.....same school as KG right??

[DaWiZ199]

nvm KG's in the vid lol

[dalejigsaw08]

he should have went to the nba with garnett. i admire this guy, he's one of the best dunkers.

[15HighFlyer15]

Oh snap I totally forgot about this cat! He was so wicked! I remember seeing all this footage, when the internet was new and fresh.. when footage was REALLY hard to come by.. Ronnie was the man! 8 games = 39 dunks.. are you kidding me?! :P

Nice 360-windmill on the break!

[optimusman8]

what happened to this nigga

[pedikasxxl]

Car accident... his neck or somthin broke

[pedikasxxl]

just watch part two

[dunkeur29200]

[GUWTHUG]

Goaltending at 2:37

[grban1989]

Whats the song from 0:38 and then song from 1:37 ?

[gtownproductionz]

[darkprince8456]

CBA

[Godsprimechoice]

[sublime8992]

good history lesson

[STL314BOY]

this guy is amazing

[bkswish23]

great footage, crappy editing

[xavibtv2fan2]

even thow he broke his neck how was he not ever drafted into the NBA i mean he played with GARNETT and he ADMITTED THAT HE WAS BETTER THAN HIM so wtf happened

[guilty972]

Wow he even dunks like Jordan too that's amazing 10/5

[DonCorleone87]

too bad he got in a car accident... I doubt he'll ever make it to the NBA though, he's already 32 years old.

[montabaronandjay]

wat about hook, that was his nick name i forgot his real name he jumped over cars, i think he is in jail now

[IMdAbOsSlaDy]

Demetrius Hook Bell I think...I seen his documentary on NBATV..

[IMdAbOsSlaDy]

Demetrius Hook Bell,  I think that's his name...I seen his documentary a while ago on NBATV.

[JDuguay321]

Demetrius Mitchell

[chasna]

didnt jason kidd or gary payton say that hook shoud be in the nba

[pjwuzhere3]

ya "Hook" Mitchell had great hops and a pretty high basketball IQ also. its a shame he got addicted to drugs.

[rebelwithoutacause05]

i know hook. i have his documentary.

[UncagedJDog89]

i thought it was demetrius "hook" mitchell

[tbone072892]

2 bad he broke his neck it messed up his hole career

[ruusk]

double sick. a proper legend, i knew all about him at this time and all the way from manchester uk.

[bboygators30]

[RBGdUP]

[xsafa]
