90s - Vernon Maxwell MIX by MISIEK

[@jfree77040]

Mad Max was the Heart and Soul of the 1990's Houston Rockets. Houston will always have love for Mad Max, keep your head up. You gave us a lot of Huge 3's and memories.

[@mytowntrill5441]

+James Freeman I'll say he was the soul but Olajuwon was the heart. Two different things there.

[@user-xx4im2mr7o]

Mytown Trill Heart is just a pump. Soul is something much, much, much GREATER...

[@carlwallace1129]

MadMax was the Soul and the spark plug in pivotal stretches but Hakeem was 1 of the Original g.o.a.t of centers in the modern NBA and a MVP candidate for a decade long for the Rockets.

[@BPIII71]

@@user-xx4im2mr7o It was Dream.

[@JuanCarlos-tx5ju]

Madmax was an amazing shooting guard!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Amazing and good shooter, he had some good games, but he did had some bad games too.

[@FuShengAlex]

Glad to head he's doing ok and sorted his life out. He's one of those guys where stats didn't tell the story about him.....he was fearless.

[@djtruedomination]

Dude was a badass.

[@Wis_Dom]

Now he's a dumbass.

[@djtruedomination]

Wis Dom lmao

[@cjg8634]

And you are? ?

[@thedude7567]

Black7od He still is. Follow him on Twitter.

[@chasefarris93]

Mos Def. Growing up in Houston in the 90's Mad Max was the Man!! Much Love to You Bro for helping to bring this City it's first world championship.

[@hectorlopez1069]

The first world championship he sure did brought it here to Houston. He was good

[@elangz9201]

sick music

[@moncorp1]

Sick as in bad health.

[@kayjay8575]

Jordan did average 30 on him. No denying that. But let's not sit here & act like Mad Max let him walk to the basket all night. He's one of the few players of his era who genuinely didn't give a fuck on the court. He backed down from no one & had no problem coming at anyone when he was on the floor. MJ knew every time he faced him, he was gonna have a long night ahead of him. And to his credit, being the great player & competitor he is, he went out there & handled his business.

[@reversethecurse7589]

Maxwell was the type of player you need to win don’t give a fuck about nothin on the floor but winning

[@user-xx4im2mr7o]

What an amazing NBA athlete!!!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Good nba player with the rockets.

[@kkabdi]

where is someone like him on the all time list?

[@rideanddive]

Great 90's player...one of the most cold blooded in the league ever !

[@rauljones9372]

Amazing the Rockets just simply bought his contract from the Spurs. Maxwell, Horry, Cassell, and Elie all had great swag as role players.

[@hankman131]

Also a good video to see how good a passer Olajuwon was.

[@hectorlopez1069]

In the 90s, Olajuwon learned how to pass. He started to be a good passer.

[@ttenkrut]

Right on !!

[@creoleDJ]

Like JR Rider, this guy had the tools to be an All Star but the attitude killed off any of those chances...very talented guy!

[@hectorlopez1069]

He was never an all-star, but he was good at basketball.

[@general5886]

I love the way he sets his shot

[@moneyaat]

100,000 dollar championship player. The a little off his rocker fearless player we needed. Mad Max. Wish he would have played with Clyde and THorpe would have come back.

[@digidrum2003]

The man drove a purple 911 Porsche around Houston....SWAG!!

[@master-kq3nw]

mad max was great shooter

[@nutritionjuice23]

Vernon Maxwell was no joke. Vernon Maxwell kind of reminds me of the Jet Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks. Both players are really streaky from the outside and can slash to the hoop anytime they want. The only difference is that Vernon Maxwell won a championship with the Houston Rockets in 1994 and Jason Terry is still searching for his first ever championship ring which he could possibly win anytime soon.

[@carlwallace1129]

MadMax was more like John starks overall .streakyshooter, undersized sg feisty on defense against bigger opponents and both were athletic great at slashing starks more of a dunker,,,On the other hand Jason Terry was more of a jumpshooter and consistent and a shoot 1st point guard and played more smooth with pace and poise

[@hankman131]

Mad Max!

[@HoustonRocket281]

the only thing i need to say is "Classic"!!!

[@TheKingMisiek]

I know but I couldn't find nice material abou it ...

[@theslavepsychology]

favorite all-time player

[@flashbakgamer4]

Wouldve been a good matchup if Bulls and rockets played in 90's finals.

[@hectorlopez1069]

It almost happen in 93, but Kenny Smith 3 pointer missed at the buzzer.

[@hectorlopez1069]

It would of gone to 7 games for sure.

[@pbltube]

Man, NO dunks? I loved watching him and Elie get up and throw down.

[@carlwallace1129]

Right Maxwell was catching alley oop 2handed dunks his 1st few yrs in Houston ,

[@toddjohnson5176]

He😂 baby vernon maxwell show respect from Florida state.

[@mediabench]

Damn everyone has a highlight reel now. These look like they were taken from just four or five games.

[@carlwallace1129]

Most of them highlights were some of his weakest ones despite some of them being buzzer beaters or pivotal layups that were game tying shots.

[@garioldwin]

@demoneye0810 I read someware that MJ said how Maxwell with the way he played always had his numbers . Hakeem had nothing to do with that , MJ's bad fg percentage was becouse of his outside shoots when Maxwell was guarding him , i saw a few of those games . And the only reason MJ had bad instead of catastrophic fg percentage against Maxwell was becouse of an easy dunks when Maxwell was not guarding him . (From what i have seen ) .

[@NaturalGift]

Wow!!!

[@crohoops1]

Thanx!

[@shyboyfso]

yes michael was great give gp and maxwell credit.they were good players in their own right and did win some games from the bulls

[@redsammy7789]

Some? they won more than the bulls did back during that era.

[@garioldwin]

nice mix but you should also have added some defensive plays on Jordan , after all he is the only guy who could stop Jordan for scoring at will .

[@pOBrain]

What is the instrumental used in the video?

[@theBASSOE]

I play with this dudes son in my neighborhood... he's really really good.

[@TuanTran2onetko]

MJ's worst nightmare

[@jboandre]

amazing dude!!!

[@dkulu]

great left back who made a big career at ajax,inter barcelona and psg

[@shyboyfso]

gp and maxwell,i admired those guys,great offense and defense. both stood up to michael jordan,impressive. both had some success against the bulls.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Maxwell wasn't afraid of Jordan. He did good against Jordan.

[@Comin4mine]

@CarolinasPGApro That's good to hear because in Houston he was a knucklehead. We loved Maxwell in Houston in the 90's but the problem was the bravado and attitude he had on the court he brought off the court and it didn't mesh to well with everyday society. I still wish I could find a Vernon Maxwell jersey though.

[@tronharrison1171]

Mad Max...H Town!!!

[@dannyramos6221]

Hey Man why you stopped dropping content ? You were one of the first out here.

[@pOBrain]

@TheKingMisiek Nice...What is that beat you used?

[@Jamedia66]

Um, your crazy dude. I grew up watching Max and Jordan go at it. Max always kept Jordan at bay and was the closest player in history to shut him down. He was by far Jordan's least fave player to go up against, defense wise...

[@ellebogie123]

He's kids are so beautiful. :) no bragging

[@carlwallace1129]

MadMax had way more highlights of him dunking and catching alley oosp in his Rockets era that better shows his overall ability but they held back in this video some where it shows blow by layups in the lane and spot up 3s that were big shots but thy left out some of his dunks that sparked the crowd

[@rafikz77]

Streaky shooter, but when he was on...

[@garioldwin]

@demoneye0810 Look for the stats from 91', 92' , 93' season Bulls vs Rockets . Michael in average had very bad fg percentage against Maxwell . The bulls lost 5 of 6 games against Houston in those three seasons . I do know what i'm talkin about and Maxwell could guard him better then Dumars .

[@pickzkickz]

Missing all the best stuff lol

[@Wokonwater]

@garioldwin Joe Dumars?

[@flashbakgamer4]

@TheKingMisiek I think this song is wrong. I cant find it anywhere on youtube. :(

[@leox4507]

"Guts-come closer" song

[@trevorwest4715]

Nobody could shut down MJ. He has the highest career scoring avg in NBA History.

[@ElstonsGun]

the anger would drive this dude

[@jessdatip4152]

Wow I don't remember that shot 2:03

[@snhtown9]

@molonlave2010 Despite his fake hamstring injury after Game 1 of the opening playoff round that really turned out to be him being disgruntled from lack of playing time because of Drexler's presence, the team agreed he deserved a ring since he played the entire season, thus contributing to the Rockets being in the playoffs in the first place.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Maxwell quit after the first game because he felt like he let the team down when he missed the game-winning shot. Then, he got his bags and left the team for good.

[@THEKODYMULLIS]

He lives in NC now. I know the guy he lives in Ballintine outside of charlotte. i wish you would haveput the fight on there when he slapped that fan for talkin bout his wife.

[@FRESHKIDD215]

I know they use to get him & jordan confuse

[@justfrush]

Me and his sone brandon are buds :D

[@TheKingMisiek]

NOW Look at discription...

lynchie137 I'll give you "Mad Max" Vernon Maxwell's player link from Basketball-Reference.com, here it is below. www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/maxweve01.html click on the link above. Then after reviewing his entire NBA career from 1988-89 to 2000-01, let me know what you think about his overall statistical performances with the San Antonio Spurs (1st stint), Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers (1st stint), San Antonio Spurs (2nd stint), Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings, Seattle SuperSonics, Philadelphia 76ers (2nd stint) and the Dallas Mavericks. Anything from Maxwell's NBA career (including NBA Championship rings and the team he's most valuable for) would be appreciated thanks. Then give me a team ranking/player rating of either suckfest (3), solid (2) or superstar (1) with each of his NBA teams: 1) San Antonio Spurs (1st stint): ??? 2) Houston Rockets: ??? 3) Philadelphia 76ers (1st stint): ??? 4) San Antonio Spurs (2nd stint): ??? 5) Orlando Magic: ??? 6) Charlotte Hornets: ??? 7) Sacramento Kings: ??? 8) Seattle SuperSonics: ??? 9) Philadelphia 76ers (2nd stint): ??? 10) Dallas Mavericks: ???

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

lynchie137 Have you reviewed the entire NBA career of Vernon Maxwell through Basketball-Reference.com? If you already have done so, then give me a team ranking/player rating of either suckfest (3), solid (2) or superstar (1) with each of his NBA teams: 1) San Antonio Spurs (1st stint): ??? 2) Houston Rockets: ??? 3) Philadelphia 76ers (1st stint): ??? 4) San Antonio Spurs (2nd stint): ??? 5) Orlando Magic: ??? 6) Charlotte Hornets: ??? 7) Sacramento Kings: ??? 8) Seattle SuperSonics: ??? 9) Philadelphia 76ers (2nd stint): ??? 10) Dallas Mavericks: ???

[@trevorwest4715]

MJ did avg 30 against him. Go to basketball reference and you will find out. Nobody could shut down MJ. That is why he has the highest career scoring avg in NBA History.

[@xGhostrider1223x]

Go to school with his sun Brandon Maxwell !

[@trevorwest4715]

MJ still avg 30 against him so shit down!

[@highmeadows2030]

Bitch madmax still beat his ass tho

[@BryanX64]

Except for Mad Max.

[@blackistan]

@garioldwin there is not a guy in the league that could stop jordan cmon now and this is coming from a houston rocket fan born n raised and i am a huge maxwell fan but the most maxwell did was play good d on mj he def did not stop him

[@RickyMoss]

he resembles Thomas Jones the football player

[@carlwallace1129]

Maybe more so Vernon's son that played college basketball Brandon Maxwell and Thomas Jones really do resemble alot.

[@garioldwin]

@demoneye0810 Thats just not thrue i have also seen it and Jordan was not double teamed against Houston . I have told you what i have seen and with proof (stats ) , if you dont agree ok , i still think max was the best against jordan . I'm not much of a maxwells fan i'm just being realistic .

[@melodyinheresy]

Joe Dumars.

[@xGhostrider1223x]

Son*

[@VOD713]

In the Info: "Maxwell was ordered to pay a woman $592,000 for knowingly infecting her with herpes"..................thats not cool at all lol.....
