Anthony Mason || Skilled Tough Guy || Career Highlights (Rare Footage)

[@DaevaoriginoftheAImind]

RIP Anthony Mason. Draymond wishes he was half as smooth as Mase in his prime. If he was playing in todays wide open style- he would be a bonafide star no doubt.

[@tw69hands2]

Mase would be a superstar now. No one would defend him or could. He'd be too strong, agile, and aggressive. And you know no one would try to fight him or even trash talk.

[@Swampass18]

@@tw69hands2you are right on! His size and athleticism for a big would be unreal in todays nba.

[@flintfleming3935]

Sorry,, Draymond couldn't handle Mase. No way...

[@flintfleming3935]

Draymond soft compared to Mase.

[@darcyb29]

​@@flintfleming3935 you watching the same video I am? He wouldnt be on the floor today. Dudes a stiff

[@punaforager]

Physically gifted. The real Ballrog.

[@Zo_1987]

He was a Power Guard!!!

[@jaquanelliott649]

He was nice

[@phil3999]

He’s one of my favorites.

[@tonycash5550]

Me too

[@HQLBvideo]

That’s what it looks like when a 6 ft guard is trapped in a Big Mans body! I loved everything about this guys game!

[@leonjohnson1824]

I remember I saw Mason at Basketball City in NYC long ago playing pick up agasint C. Billups, C. Smith, D. Wesley, S. Smith and a few others. He was a man amongst boys. His skill was so off the charts he didn't even show his full skill set in the NBA. He had the 3 ball too he was dicing dudes up with the handles.

[@famousinfamous2951]

That "over his long life hits different every time I come back to watch him 🏀❤️💪💯🙏

[@konstantinkoverchenko9587]

Mase's handle was super sick! >_

[@pierovittori1076]

If you watched a bit of old school NBA when you see somebody scoring with Rodman on his shoulders and shaking him off like a rag doll...well, you know that fella is definitely a strong skilled dude.

[@KevinGCoxen]

When i was watching Anthony as a Knicks fan, he didn't handle the ball very much. I didn't know he was this talented. His play with the Knicks was exceptional but he didn't dribble and Almost never a jump shot from 20+ feet. Nobody could take the ball away from him.

[@101cintron]

Have no idea how mad I am that he isn’t in 2k22.

[@tonycash5550]

Mason was a beast.

[@OrionOodama]

As shared someplace else, found oneself collecting his cards to the point having 3-4 pages of his in a four-panel binder. Some claimed his trade with Larry Johnson was lopsided favoring the Knicks, but his stint in Charlotte were his breakthrough years (1996-2000), culminated with his first and only All-Star appearance in Miami. It’s just sad downward spiral capped his career when moved to Milwaukee, reported out of shape and ruined team chemistry. Nonetheless, leading the league in minutes and did so in 82 games (42-plus mpg in 1995-96) perhaps won’t happen again in today’s NBA.

[@missayawk]

Alotta 21 games on NYC playgrounds.Thats how we developed our handles.Trying to get by 4 guys when you have 19.

[@georgevas2889]

RIP MASE!

[@kingnegus77]

Mason would MURDER in todays game..

[@beexcellenttoeachother5313]

Mason just SHRUGS off a powerful Rodman draped all over him. Mase was pure muscle & heart

[@flintfleming3935]

The Knicks should have trusted him more responsibility to carry the team. He had very good players around him. Cmon,, he was solid. Can do it all... pass ,make free throws, run the floor , defense., he always had my vote.. HE WAS A SOLID PLAYER.. He always had my vote..

[@MoreTruths]

I was a True Fan of this Brother!!!💪👏🤝💯

[@missayawk]

I just noticed how Mason looks like Kool Moe Dee ( facially of course)

[@drtroyturner7464]

He gave me Draymond Green. I think 49ers Deebo looks like Kool Moe Dee.

[@AIH483]

Anthony Mason is stronger than all of today's nba players combined, the fact that MJ averaged 35 ppg vs him means he would average 80 in today's nba where defenses are non existent with spacing all the time, MJ would have also developed a 3 point shot, shooting 45% with 6 attempts.

[@steveguse4481]

Truth. Jordans 3pt shooting was already good tbh...if he was open it went in almost 100% of the time. With today's spacing would be crazy

[@billejoprintup3286]

Wide body coming through the lane

[@siueva4000degrees]

He was only a ×1 time all-star which is crazy

[@cgyiltis]

This is how LeBron would have been in the old school Nba

[@drivingtothehoopbasketball5208]

Classic NBA moment @ 7:45!

[@tertiusmckee784]

🤷🏾‍♂️What was classic about it..ijs??

[@Urblacksavior]

Classic?

[@ti-dop962]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jessediaz1668]

Zion is Mason 3.0 #RIP

[@asero021584]

He must’ve played as guard at one point in his younger years. He has a solid handle for his size and strength.

[@ivorysteele]

Maybe. But it is New York City thing. We play with a lot of dribbling. So even big guys like a Lamar Odom will have handles. Not sure what to Ron Artest though 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jersonarzu6851]

R.I.P

[@CLewey44]

Gosh, him and Draymond Greene would have been a battle.

[@soramirez5473]

lol Mason would have ate Green up.. he guarded both Hakeem and Jordan..

[@phil3999]

Green wouldn’t stand a chance.

[@missayawk]

Dray would be BBQ chicken.Plus a whole lotta flopping.

[@ricosuavepr1207]

No chance for Dray

[@daxtonreid2353]

Built like an Abrams tank.

[@youtuber3328]

pls tell me who u all feel was more elite between the 94 knicks + 95 pacers

[@mossbergshockwave9629]

Only Ewing could miss a dunk at 7 feet tall

[@dorianhunter194]

@ChickensnakeDad frl?

[@missayawk]

@80's Dad Bird was listed at 6'9", but Ive heard other pros say he was 6'10"

[@missayawk]

@80's Dad Bird didnt have Tom Chambers' hops, but he had surpring bunnies from time to time that I think even surprised him.

[@aanoman83]

mase brother

[@etuboldon]

He would have been a bruising running back or tight end

[@bballvault]

💪🏻

[@rayshoncotton4206]

This is LeBron in the 90’s

[@peacefullness-8823]

At 6:00-6:30....i still don't know what happened

[@RageInVR]

Didnt rodman say lebron would be easy to gaurd?.... lololol. If anthony mason could overpower him lebron be dominating him in every way.

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

Would you say he he was more like Bam or Draymond?

[@uu99ful]

Maybe

[@malakiy8688]

Lebron before lebron

[@alaneno29]

@

[@willychau]

He played better than Lebron

[@CasiqueAgueybana]

At the 31 seconds of video they think he was trapped n he was bcus he trapped himself to do that move premeditated, that was bye design on purpose . He was nice for his weight n shorter than most PF SF
