I love Rod telling his truth of how his career went. He told me once that his unprofessionalism cost him a lot of money . When he was a top five point guard in the league . I'm happy to see his growth as a coach and as a man .

[@yarmus718]

That's cool that he can admit it... most guys blame the coaches or someone else...

[@CocheseSha]

His unprofessionalism had also cost him trips to the all-star game. It's a shame because I dug his game. Strick was the truth.

[@williamportwine7051]

Boo Harvey is another underrated NYC point guard who played with Rod and against Rod in highschool

[@joseyeastwood]

I saw Rod when he played at DePaul vs St John's at the Mecca they won i think he had like 25 points the brother was nice.

[@TheSstretch68]

THE LEGENDARY AND UNDERRATED ROD STRICKLAND!!!!!! Came to our basketball camp and was mad gracious in sharing his knowledge.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

He's not underrated why do folks use the word underrated on KZbin so darn much

[@TheSstretch68]

@@anthonytaylor7928He never was voted an all star even though he had all star seasons when he was in Portland and Washington. I consider that UNDERRATED!!!!

[@bigtee4690]

I can sit and listen to Rod Strickland talk the game of basketball for hours. The man's knowledge, respect and love for the game is amazing. Man a New York city legend sitting and discussing other NYC point guard legends- THANKS FELLAS !!!

[@craigandnem4597]

I’m with Rod on the StreetBall ish. I never got into the idea of sitting there and letting some clown dance around in front of me with the ball.

[@yarmus718]

To me I was never impressed if you did thinks out of the rules of the game or in the intrest of winning.... Like that kid Hot Sauce... he carries the ball, travels... Whats impressive about that?

Fellas..I appreciate yall having Rod on here man. I grew up a huge fan of his when he played for the Bullets/Wizards back in the day. I’m from DC so he was my favorite PG. Love the interview man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@EmoryAddison]

Dwayne "Pearl" Washington... R.I.P. He was a good dude. He played college ball with my cousin Rafael at Syracuse and I also had my own personal vibe with him while competing against him in the California Summer Pro League at Loyola Maramount. We ( Pearl, David Wingate, Bobby Phills, Tony Smith, Elden Campbell, Reggie Cross, Robert Pack) and myself ate breakfast together a few times...

[@albertdaley9093]

Wow really thats my cousin he from Brownsville

[@CinqueMalcolm]

I remember Rafael Addison at Syracuse. I grew up in the Phoenix area and the Suns drafted him when I was like 9 or 10. I went to USC (Class of 99) like Pack, but got there like 4 years after he left.

[@EmoryAddison]

Yes, I believe Raf was drafted the same year with Jeff Hornacek? I played some pick up ball at the (JCC) Jewish Community Center with some of the Suns, James Edwards, Larry Nance, Rod Foster, Jay Humphries, Bernard Thompson, Kenny Gattison, Walter Davis and others. Also, while I was playing in the California Summer Pro League Pack introduce me to a incoming freshman point-guard at USC name Duane Hackett who later was in the movie "Blue Chips" with Shaq and Penny Hardaway...@@CinqueMalcolm

[@herbertokine208]

Don't forget Bernard King please

[@brolickscholar3083]

Rod wanted more playing time. Mark was the better point guard and leader. Rod played better defense and scored at the cup more. Mark Jackson ran the offense and abused smaller guards. Knew the game better and didn’t make turnovers. Mark Jackson shot an I’ll advised brick during the playoffs after coming back from off of a knee injury. Rick Pitino resigned. Stu Jackson took over and they had a descent season. John McCleod was hired as the coach and it was an awful season. Mark came into the third season out of shape. Mo Cheeks got the starting position. Interviewer asks Mark. “What do you think that you can learn by having Mo Cheeks on the team?” Mark responded “Mo Cheeks could learn from me.” John McCleod and Al Bianchi Got at Mark Jackson in practice , pointing fingers in his face and yelling at him. Mark yelled back and got dismissed from practice. They suspended him for slamming the door. After that it was a bad relationship until McCleod left and they brought in Pat Riley to help Mark Jackson get back right again. Then Mark got traded to LA Clippers. The Clippers were a “run and gun” team which was what Mark liked best. He flourished. So did Rod Strickland. The Knicks fell apart without Rick Pitino. Rick knew exactly what to do with Mark and Rod but once he was gone all hell broken loose.

[@kiprolfe491]

I had to smile when Rod said I forgot about Kenny Anderson. Because the first person I was thinking about was Kenny Anderson.

[@billbangz]

The NBA has never been ready for the likes of R. Strickland, J. Williams, A. Iverson & K. Irving. They are all humble yet their game is flashy as fuck, which makes it difficult to understand them as players in real time...

[@kharyvines6971]

ROD STICKLAND IS THE BEST PG FROM NY

[@Nebo888]

Jamal Tinsley was a MAJOR PROBLEM. Highly underrated.

[@sha9infinite450]

Indeed, go back and watch him and Iowa St vs UCLA in 2000. Also his battle vs Mateen Cleaves and Michigan St the same year.

[@moxmann]

Here in Chicago there's a lot of love for Rod, from when he went to DePaul he's an Icon here for real. But yeah Hynaken you're bugging they weren't beating MJ and the Bulls, once the Bulls dismantled the Pistons it was a wrap.

[@ibuynotesforsale]

Rob was the best small finisher I ever seen in the NBA...

[@bobbytaylor6946]

I've always felt the same way the street ball style because a lot of that stuff is illegal under the whistle and what's not u wouldn't do it in a regular game

[@harlemworldown]

He played at a summer league in NYC 1996 he dropped 63 points in the second half didn’t play the first half

[@derrickctv1820]

Steph was the only PG from NY who could shoot. Rod was the smoothest PG from NY. Kenny A was nice but he never put on weight and couldn’t shoot outside the paint

​​@rotweilerscholar1181 he definitely was connected if I recall he was about to enter La Caridad restaurant he was going to have lunch or dinner with Fat Joe back then I didn't know who Joe was no disrespect I was just into basketball and video games then when I got older I was like oh shit that was Fat Joe who I saw they both pulled up almost at the same time Joe with like 15 goons and Strickland was rolling with like two people maybe three if that but I remember like it was yesterday I was wallking up the hill with my friends and Joe entered about three minutes later Strickland parks and hops out in a brand new Lexus truck

It would be different from what everybody else is doing & I think it would work for y'all more than it would hurt. Vlad started that clip shit & I immediately saw the money grab in it.
