AND1 Mixtape Legends: The Best of Aaron "AO" Owens

[@supgloserv]

AO was a real basketball player. There were others, but he was definitely one of the ones who could play real basketball.

[@psimbyosis8162]

@WinConsinSportsNutRW Silk, Pat da Roc, Pharmacist, Bone Collector too.

[@elbowgang9715]

@WinConsinSportsNutRW Hot Sauce literally traveled or carried on every possession. Sauce and Professor never really proved their game on the streets

[@marquezedwards3108]

Exactly even hotsauce took one of aos move and professor looked up to him when he was younger.

[@sikwitit773]

@@elbowgang9715 Sauce had more creativity tho can't deny him that

[@bossj5314]

Proffesor too

[@darealmr9394]

the most underrated player in And 1 streetball, AO's one of the best passers I've ever seen, hands down

Headache was amazing to that dude use to do "magic" passing.

Man... bring back AND1 TODAY. PLEASE

[@martelllynchakatelltudaaka8719]

I watch shit like this just to remember the good times in my life

[@Gretchieable]

Just passing through in 2020. Met this guy back in 06 when I was 14 was and still is my fav streetballer of all time

[@Thaofficialsensei]

I was 14 roun that same time I jus remember them mixtapes from 01-04 shit was glorious

[@chuy8356]

@ 05:07 daaaammn!!!! I'm done, nothing tops that. AO is a beast enough said!!

[@Sage93x]

Never realized how heavily my game was impacted by watching all these AND1 mistakes growing up.... Definitely learned all the street ball moves before I mastered the fundamentals but AND1 inspired me to be creative on floor 💯💯💯

[@bbykfuxxitup]

This dude inspired professor, hot sauce, & Kyrie!! Wuuut..

[@psimbyosis8162]

Hot Sauce is from the same time. they entered the tour in 2001-2002. maybe in Professor, Kyrie and Rondo ive seen influences of AO and Skip2MyLou.

[@sgt1terrence]

When i see kyrie spin, it reminds me of skip..so glad i grew up watching these dudes

[@craigmackssj3680]

the reason I picked up a basketball at 11 and took it serious

Best And 1 player

He should had played in the NBA without a shadow of a doubt. One of my favorite basketball players of all time# G.O.A.T of Philly

somebody needs to bring and 1 back man

[@melachigillings5186]

u cannot forget ao passes his passes were SICK its sad how he is so underrated he should be looked up to like hotsause or the professor

hot sauce

Christian Caballero hotsause

[@عالمببجي-و3ن]

Melachi Gillings well said

[@cloud_monkey422]

Hot sauce doesn’t even get the credit he deserves. Only from us true fans. The professor is the one who gets all the props. Which I love professor and he is good but there are ppl like AO and hot sauce who deserve way more credit

[@ben1ben2ben1]

@@cloud_monkey422 Professor marketed himself in the social media era better. In the prime of And 1 days, Hot Sauce was by far the most popular

[@kingsmurf8131]

AO played the best PG postion for And1. We wasn't selfish big headed in any way and had dribbles and passed the ball very well.

[@vgortiz80]

I love u tio and miss u well be comig soon

[@africa241]

AO was one of the greatest And 1 players! Didn't need to be flashy to break ankles and humiliate opponents!

AO and Hotsauce for real time... all time street legends. Some of my favs were 50, Helicopter and Escalade RIP

[@milesdiontre]

Don't forget Flash and Alimoe AKA Black Widow 🕷️🙏🙏😇😇🕊️🕊️⚡

[@mr.ssb33]

"He betta not have any family in da buildin cuz it's a rap" 😭

[@skof-zj2ss]

He also had a tryout with a nba team. He could've did somethings in the big league. But big up to Philly and The legend AO 💯

[@mfalmekijani7109]

Mad respect man A.O was my favorite person to use in streets hoop" him and the big man Escalade...

[@jordantribble8163]

He was doing the step curry layup before steph curry

[@kxngstrong]

Jordan Tribble It's called under hand floater

[@sonofnaphtalifromisrael8531]

Its called the AO Layup kid ...

[@longliveart4362]

In elementary school i was fascinated by the way a.o played definitely my favorite

[@game_is_life51]

AO is really slept on most ppl only talk about Professor and Hot Sauce when they both got the running crossover from him

[@TCthaCrisis]

Because they cornballs who only got into the streetball scene late. On Professor got that privilege so all he gotta do is repeat moves from before nd Lil Jimmy and Chad thinks hes the greatest ever.

[@MrChambers8109]

Funny looking back at how baggy our clothes were in the early 2000's

[@cloud_monkey422]

DoITAll 1911 a size 36/36 back tHan was a 36/36 if not bigger. Now days a 36/36 is legit like a 32/30

[@dusthue]

DoITAll 1911 now it’s that skinny crap

[@TheTruth525]

Seattle Supersonics (at the time) were stupid for not givin him ah contact AO was ah total package pg his court vision was crazy he could slash and create off the dribble he in my top 5 pg's period

[@jakeblaze7663]

Dez Davis nba don’t like try hards

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

not if you check is G-League stats. He couldn't shoot the NBA 3, and at the time, the league was starting to focus on athletic shooting PGs. He also wasn't great on the defensive side of the ball either, nor was he an elite athlete by NBA standards. You have to remember, playing in these And 1 pickup games, he wasn't exactly playing against top level competition. There also is little to no defense being played.

[@craigmackssj3680]

ik I was watching since season one I remember I was about 11 AO is the best footwork handles change of direction timing passing he was playing with AI and killing it he 6ft3 he could have been a pg easy in the league easy goat

[@jermainejones464]

@@WutTheDeuceGaming that's a lie idk where you got that information from smh the reason why he didn't play in the NBA was because he wasn't coachable that's what stop him did you really watch and 1 or street ball because they say why he didn't get the contact and they use to have a big as tournament outside where the best hoopers was at the time and the winner from that gets to play in the gym at night like all this is on the tapes SMH

[@terucks]

5:38 was HILARIOUS! It's past midnight and I LAUGHED LOUDLY internally silently. loool

[@servHis221]

That in-bounding play where he bounces it off your head and the ball goes out of bounds and he points... Disrespectfully Hilarious!!! 3:05

[@Son_D._Bear]

Legendary AND1 player from my city Philly. S/O to AO for representing on brotherly love

[@demarkusondatrack5646]

The funny thing is a huge part of streetball moves that every other streetball legend has used originated from him like he is literally in every legends arsenal of moves

[@Dvon-gy2wf]

This is legendary for me. I learned streetball in middle school early 2k. And 1 for life

[@n1c98]

I always loved AO , that cat is an awesome hooper , grew up watching all AND 1 hoopers and watched their moves to learn from them and be like them. Haha

[@CamSeanoaTolls26]

AO was my favorite back in the day. Wish he got to the league

[@mib1415]

The announce would always be like, "Ayyyyeee Ohhhhh, Ayyyyyee Ohhhh" when he had the ball. Lol

He Played as Prince on the Chappelle Show in the basketball scene.

6:03 Was that Hot Sauce he was handling??? Lol damn

[@timothybasalo4038]

Sik wit it

[@darreinrobinson5681]

Best of Alimoe, we need that son!

[@jayharris404]

You cant tell the difference between him and Jamal Crawford. Their ball handling skills are exactly identical.

[@Dubbysworld]

AO was fire, def should of made it to the league

[@supgloserv]

Take it from somebody who knows first hand, there are a lot of dudes in the world who are VERY, VERY good at basketball that aren't NBA material. Even the guys who barely miss making the NBA are fucking beastly. I've played pick up against D-League benchwarmers, and they'd look like gods against regular pickup players.

As a player he clearly was. Hot Sauce was more fun though

[@tucool4447]

semajgnik Same

[@cloud_monkey422]

Two diff styles AO was more of an NBA player who passed like Magic Johnson Hot sauce was more like a flashy magician who broke ankles with street ball moves and than would throw the ball in the stands instead of score lol

[@Abstrack23]

Only player on the streetball tip on the same level as AO is Bonecollector, Earl Manigault + Pee Wee Kirkland. Maybe Silk;

[@rickash2386]

Nobody had better passes than AO those Alleys were Dope.

[@JohnDoe-od6xk]

I remember when he tried out for Super Sonics, was rotting for him. But I knew he was probably to small with nothing but street cred to back him. Glad Skip did pretty decent in his time in NBA. A lot of good players don't make it, AO was a legit baller though one of my favorite streetball legends.

[@ab-xp3fb]

i love the way this kid plays. this kid plays like he's having fun. i've always hated players who didn't have any fun. that showed me you were AFRAID IN LIFE. only players who knew how to have FUN playing were REAL SKILLED BALLERS. they are the only legit players out there. everybody else is just STRUGGLING and TRYING to get better. that's why they're so angry and always arguing when they play. SKILLED players hate arguing because it wastes their time to have FUN. skilled players give up calls on purpose because they don't want the other team to have ONE SINGLE EXCUSE when they get BEAT. while having FUN.
