Derrick Coleman ( D.C Was A Beast) NBA Legends

[@theadmiral460]

my fav Syracuse player next to Billy Owens.. DC

[@T-REX-44]

Derrick Coleman is the original stretch 4... Also he is also a incredible asset to his Community. He's always given back

[@thomasrose38]

When Derek and Drazen Petrovic play together it was magic too bad Petrovic died just when they were cooking it took the wind out of the sails in Jersey these with two of the greatest players at that time in the NBA

[@cuse445]

If he's a legend in the NBA he's a God in Syracuse! lol

[@TL2354]

It was magic? They won 3 playoff games together!

[@drcharlesbombay]

In a hundred years from now, if anybody still cares to look back on Big East or Syracuse basketball, his name will still be on that list of All-Time greats...

[@jmarcguy]

Really complete player. Plenty of post moves, outside J, good handle, good pacer, solid rebounder. That Nets team with Kenny, DC, & Petro was nice. Morris & Bowie were solid too.

[@bigworm4475]

That's my Big Brother he's from 12th street in Detroit we went Hutchinson middle school and Detroit Northern High school him and my Big Brother Dre played for Coach Bradley poppa Smurf and that's right lady's and Gentlemen Mutumbo stole the finger wang was Detroit own Derrick DC Coleman this is a Really Good Brother did shit for the city it doesn't get mentioned they was mad cause DC was the only enforcer who could really play had skills real skills one of the 1st Bigs wit point Guard skills he could dribble true Detroit Great 100 yrs

[@Dantana773]

One of the best to ever do it.. If he was playing in todays modern he would be a even bigger threat . A post up game can dribble pass shoot the long ball and mid range One of the Few Players That Dunked on Shaq. salute to DC

[@TL2354]

Hahahaha what? One of the best to ever do it? Either you’re joking or too stupid to know anything

[@Dantana773]

@@TL2354 Boa if you don't get Cha Goofy azz up out My Lane with your opinion. DC was talented player a pf that could dribble pass post up and shoot the 3. Yes he would be a problem in this modern NBA. Maybe you just Too stupid to know any better 😂😂😂. I know basketball buddy if ya didn't agree ya could have kept scrolling Church. Don't troll me troll the next person

[@arcineauxtheassassin6665]

He really should have been the first Garnett/Duncan. His game was complete!

[@aharonemanuel4010]

Wow

[@kennymeyers9868]

My favorite big

[@kincamell2]

Much Gratitude

[@junkiepoints486]

My all time favorite hooper!! My idol

[@kaseemjamal5130]

DC IS STILL THE MAN

[@AP-ik2tl]

Yeah he wad a great player I remember. When his diamond cells cameout I bought them. Him and Kenny Anderson were a good duo In new jersey.

[@robertramirez5230]

Hell ya ,I had pair of them bk's in 5th grade in jersey!!

[@thomascrowniii1693]

He could have been a legend. He's one of the biggest underachievers in relation to talent in NBA history.

[@ronniemckinney4811]

He also didn’t care about the game at times. Once he got overpaid that was it. One of the first players to get a overpaid contract compared to his actual value on the court.

[@erikson2789]

DC was one of few star/good players that fit well with AI

[@오성훈-o1h]

Karl Malone once said there were 3 of more talented players than him, Charles Barkley, Chris Webber and Derrek Coleman. But he overworked them and none of them was better than him. True. If DC had Malone's work ethics, he would've been one and only top PF in NBA history.

[@giovanniecruz872]

I always wonder what could have been with Kenny, Drazen & D.C as a Nets fan.

[@jabdullah3092]

He could’ve been better,never reached his full potential ‼️

[@muskegontribune]

He played an AAU game in my city one year in(West Michigan). He was a man among boys. He was rebounding the opponent's shots, dunking, and pretty much doing what he wanted to do. I remember he had on some navy blue Nike Dunks.

[@Wyndamn]

And he dunked on Shaq!!!

[@Wyndamn]

Had every physical gift you could want, just didn't have the drive and relentlessness.

[@cuse445]

Bar-none, DC is my favorite Cuse player of all time (yes, even over the Pearl).I played on every black-top in Syracuse and would only wear his Cuse #44 jersey. I played with him, Pearl, Raf Addison, Matt Roe and Andre Hawkins downtown at the YMCA, I told him he was my favorite and he laughed and later gave me a present I will always cherish, an elbow and a black eye. Note: It was getting dark and I was always the only white player on the court and he told me I should go home to be safe, I will never forget that, that stayed with me all my life, LOVE YA DC AND PLEASE MAKE DETROIT BETTER!

[@TL2354]

Yawn

[@davidlopez-rl4sh]

He was always capable but not always willing

[@alifan3285]

He was a dogg. If he had work ethic and that fire in the belly. He would have been a top five all time PF

[@mperformance3502]

He looks like Baby/Birdman from cash money 🤣

[@AP-ik2tl]

And that had drozain petovich. Too that dude was one of the best shooters ever.

[@TL2354]

Try English next time

[@SkywalkerExpress]

he may not have the physical talent of Shawn Kemp but he has more weapon inside and outside.

[@xaviervega468]

Biggest underachiever I've ever seen. With the talent and game he had he should have eventually surpassed Malone and Barkley but they both lit his ass up every time they played him.

[@bigchee72]

Xavier Vega thats not true.

[@xaviervega468]

Dude I watched the NBA religiously back then, especially Malone and Barkley's games because they were my two favorite players. Believe me, they busted DC's ass just about every time they played him. And they both said DC had the talent to be just as good or better, he just didn't have the will.

[@bigchee72]

Xavier Vega you do know theres game footage on youtube of Nets DC facing Barkley, right? I didnt see Barkley busting his ass especially when neither spent too much time guarding each other.

[@BSmokeyGaming]

Derrick Coleman was like a poor man's version of Charles Barkley but with little muscles in his body. The 90s had some of the most skill and fundamental players around that time, that's something that today's NBA is missing, too many Finesse players from the Center to the Point Guard position that spread out and jack up threes.

[@morgandeniel3584]

02:35 monster dunck by Rony Seikaly

[@youcanthealwhatyoudontreveal]

It's actually spelt "Coalman" cause he always did the dirty work for his team!

[@matthewtobar3049]

Whats that song playing at the end

[@anoneff]

what's the music starting at 1:43?

[@jasonritchie8357]

What’s the song starting at 8.52?

[@Rowgue51]

Some of the most wasted potential ever. He started out like he was going to be a superstar, but faded into the background almost as quickly as he burst onto the scene. And that started way before the injury problems and the off the court stuff.

[@merlball8520]

Nah, his substance abuse issues were there from the beginning. It's precisely why he never got better.

[@bigchee72]

Merl Ball derrick coleman did not have a substance abuse problem.

[@ermajavoran6184]

He wasted his talent coz of drazen petrovic
