Rony Seikaly - The Spin Doctor

[fantasyexctasy]

I met Ronny at Burning Man last year!!!

[TheTomSt]

Fight Night Round 3!!!!

[edscottable]

rony, dc, and the sherm. the greatest orangemen lineup.

[AdreasTheGreat]

this guy was very good player and great rebounder in an era with great centers and rebounders....hakeem,shaq,ewin­g,robinson,mourning,mutombo.wi­llis,daugherty,kemp....there were so many great big men so many forget players like rony....this guy took 34 reb in a single game!

[domuin1234]

i am proud to be a lebanese because of him

[MrQuijaRICK]

1:12

[Phoenicianpartia]

Support the Phoenician heritage and the Lebanese land of the cedars

[SuperStrik9]

The Lebanese Playboy! Underrated player imo.

[windmelo]

bacon and eggs...

[BigdogH201]

Seikaly should've went to Utah in 1998. I know Utah is dead as fuck...but imagine him upstage Ostertag and helping the Jazz dethrone Chicago? Shit, I would've went to get that ring.

[llHyRaXll]

is ronny really Arab??? or is he somthing else and was jsut born in an arab country?? wow i thought there was no arab people in the NBA ever

[CBRYDR]

Question to those huge NBA / Seikaly fans in the 80s. Did media ever conduct a special interview about Rony's journey from Lebanon to the NBA or was it that Jew Casspi, the only one that got privilege??? I was too young to remember Rony's prime.

[jack22099]

Name of the song please....

[redhotRISPOLIpeppers]

@jack22099 Atmosphere - the arrival.. 9 months late but wth lol

[hayabusa53]

This guy is now an actual DJ now. He's really good. 

[xianick]

its a song from the fight night round 4or 3,im not sure...=D

[InsaneMembrayne]

pat riley should resign this cat next

[RapeChoke]

why do they call him the spin doctor. i didn't see him spin the whole video lol

[alaiddin2009]

LEBANON BASKETBALL YEAAAAAAAAAAH 

[fourcorneredroom]

Seik was a second level center in his era...

he'd FEAST on the modern centers...

[westsidenasfan]

actually, he averaged 14.7 PPG ang 9.5RPG his whole career,so i wouldn't call that weak

[mookeychase0907]

@westsidenasfan Yeah he'd murder cats like Andrew Bynum.



[TheMavenFrankeus]

50 dunks and two weak rebounds... He'll be truly missed...

[dylan32894]

im only 15 and im not that knowledgable with guys in 80s or 90s.. who does seikaly resemble in present day?

[gnail]

Attitude ---> Chris Andersen

Athleticism ---> Martin Gortat / Luis Scola

just wild guess-timation..any disagreement?

[SFFOOL76]

Damm that's a tough question youngblood.

Im not an expert, but maybe Chris Kaman from the Clippers.

Someone else could give a better answer I hope.

[WisdomandSolace]

رونالد ﺼيقلي

[droctagon3k]

yeah rony, big maltese nigga!

[WisdomandSolace]

Yea, Ronny was the Motherfuckin OG with that shit. That fool was true to the game, and a true Lebanese soldier. The knicks didn't want none of an OG like that, especially that bitch ass old nigga Ewing...

[liweiwu007]

you are a lebanese piece of shit

[stefanswe]

I gotta say, I liked him back in the day, good solid player

[seminole8690]

rony seikaly was to defense as a screen door keeps water out of a submarine

[ClearedForTakeOf]

at 0:27s thats Kevin Edwards ;)

[ritewar]

his wife was bangin

[liweiwu007]

ex-wife

[dddoughboyyy]

why were the knicks player so scared of him at 1:12??

[newagepun]

I remember him as a solid player. The biggest setback about his game odd enough is his foul troubles. Hence you never really see him play an absurd amount of minutes.

[mannen33ntgymnasie]

he is fully lebanese (maronite) the real lebanese people so dont come talking about that fucking palestinian shit U understand!! fucker!. lebanese 4 life!

[rockchalkjayhawk795]

CHRIS CHAUVANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anthonyabdelnour7]

HES MY FUCKING UNCLE!!!

[liweiwu007]

haha he is actually a second cousin of a classmate of mine in high school

[strongpedigree]

seikaly and sherman douglas hosted a many alley-oop clinics back at the 'cuse.

[bestlives]

I was at the game when Rony won Most Improved Player Award!!! The guy posting these videos is obvioulsy a true fan of the game!!! you know the roots and the players who are hardcore compare to the guys today. You must be around my age or older in order to have this type of respect for these guy..I am 29 years old, been playing for 20 years now and a fan of the NBA for 20 years. MAD PROPS TO YOU BRO....Keep spreading the word.

[sl1ker]

I always though he was Greek? Oh,maybe he grew up in Greece or something like that. I am not sure why I always though that.

[rafikz77]

He's Americano-Greeko-Lebanese

[sbirtoman]

He comes from a good Christian Palestinian family. His family moved to Lebanon after 1948 and got their citizenship. At the outbreak of the Lebanese war they moved to Athens, Greece where I went to school with him at ACS Athens. He became an American citizen. I have known him to be a gentleman from day one I met him.

[rafikz77]

I didn't know that.

Thanks for the info

[redleb33]

do you know anyone from the bahou family? my grandpa and rony's dad were very close friends.

[chachris08]

i used to live in syacuse from 1976 to 1989. i was a big of the orange men, especially Rony S.

[raed11]

he also played in the lebanese league & the national team... i still remember... he's homeland, i thought he was cool

[monte12cristo]

Thank you for the memories Rony!Powerful old school NBA, what a magic era!

Thanx for the video man nice job:)

[VeoShock]

N thank u for appreicating such an underrated player. Im soooo shock that alot of people do see how good this guy was. He was an NBA star. He was a good player n u r going to get have trouble playing against him CUZ RONY PLAYS HARD EVERY NIGHT.  This is one of my favorite vids to. U can see the intensity in Rony's game n the passion. He never took a play off n he has flare to. Those dunks r nasty against the NBA best. The dunk on Ewing n others r sick. Guy is underrated but never forgotten.

[liweiwu007]

he was like a poor man's hakeem olajuwon. never made an all-star team, but able to put up big numbers.

[kazam92]

the heats 2nd greatest big man

[southparkkkkkkk]

there are so many underrated players in the nba and people not want to hear this but yao and lebron are overrated they are some of the best players in nba history but comparing them to mj is just stupid the media is overhyping them .maurice williams is underrated.

[Numba1Bawla]

do u really make all of these videos?

[digijack1]

aha thank u. now i see why u put spin doctor as a title. i regret not seeing any of his games in the NBA. as you put in the info, he almost had a double-double career average!! not any player has scores like that. i saw him playing with the lebanese national team in the late nineties. but he was injured and had'nt been able to give the best he had. i hope that one day lebanon will have a great center player like rony. now we have a good forward: fadi el khatib. check him out on youtube.

[digijack1]

thanks for the video and info about rony.

[VeoShock]

Yea, Rony is very Underrated star player. I remember he was given the spin doctor nick name cuz of his post moves on the block. He was a good player.
