Clarence Weatherspoon: He had to REPLACE CHARLES BARKLEY… But did he get a Fair Shot? | FPP

Damn you're right, I was thinking of his recent paralysis

Yea.. I was going to second that.

I was thinkin the same lol

[@chaseadams5037]

I was a big Clarence Weatherspoon fan in the mid 90s

[@thamwisai1]

One of my favourite underrated players

[@CarloWilburn-w9z]

He was never in any drama either. My homeboy forever! You explain to him what system of play that you need from him and he would deliver. Yep my homie!

[@nothingnista]

Great work as always, Weatherspoon is definitely one of the forgotten favorites from the '90s. Perhaps add Lamond Murray and Chris Gatling to a list for the future. +

[@djp2k2]

Murray was overlooked especially from that draft class he was in featuring guys at the same position like G. Hill, Jaylen Rose and Glen Robinson. Donyell Marshall was also in that group of small forwards/point forwards that should get a video like Murray hopefully gets as well

[@syenejasmin8443]

Wow this man was a true solid NBA player, for him to last through all of those eras was quite an accomplishment

[@dwayneturner9395]

Woooow, seen the draft board and saw Todd Day! Taking me back

[@lonksy]

I'll always have good memories of playing Weatherspoon and Bradley on those old NBA Jam 92 arcade machines

[@miguelalegria3614]

Spoon was a true pro, certainly in the realm of Barkley in terms of natural rebounding instinct.

[@foggylungs]

If I were to make a request, I'd like to see you do an episode on Charlie Ward for what he did in football(college) and basketball. Playing in the NBA after winning the Heisman Trophy.

[@oppchoppashotta]

Yeah let’s put a football video up and put basketball durrrrrrr

[@notoriousLSGshow]

Great topic- 4got he was such a baller

[@coachshawnkent397]

I forgot about Weatherspoon I remember watching him in College he was a beast .

[@dwayneturner9395]

If you had to play him twice a year you'd remember! I bet this dude averaged 35 vs Louisville in the old Metro days! Baaaaad boy!

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Glad you highlighted Weatherspoon. Such a good player who’d be even better today. Barkley/Marion hybrid.

[@mams1701]

Good lord--you KEEP doing great profiles!! 😆 Great work.. (Bradley is alive, just crippled.)

[@jonbaer8699]

AK-47 is one of the most underrated defenders of the 2000s should’ve won a dpoy but never got his recognition

[@flypigfilms1236]

Weatherspoon was an entertaining player to watch randomly pop off

[@GHOST91141]

I still want one of those throwback red 76ers jerseys

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Clarence Weatherspoon was actually good during his Philly days.

[@konstantinkoverchenko9587]

Spoon had some pretty cool kicks back in da day and had a nice double pump dunk as Shaq just stared at him form the other side of the paint.

[@Danny-sd5vm]

Dude had a long, productive career. Players like C-Spoon should be remembered.

[@bball3048mm]

How insane is that the 1992 NBA draft had two babies? Baby Jordan (Harold Miner) and Baby Barkley (Clarence Weatherspoon)!

[@JamesCH08]

Wow I didn't even know he played that long in the league !!! I was a kid in middle school in the Philly area when he was drafted by the Sixers. I remember the Sixers tried to make him the face of the team for a few seasons before quickly moving away from him for Shawn Bradley, then Jerry Stackhouse, and then Allen Iverson. It's crazy because he wasn't that bad of a player, now to think about it. He just wasn't a superstar and a player a team could build around. He was a starting forward in the league but a role playing starter, not a star. It's crazy because this is exactly how the Sixers did Andre Iguodala, trying to make him a star, instead of a role player. But Iguodala got lucky and landed on the Warriors, and they knew how to play him. If Weatherspoon had gotten lucky like that, he definitely would've been remembered more.

[@Adarkguy]

I remember the Flair ultra basketball cards ….he was paired with Barkley Pippen with Robert horry and those comparisons were actually on point ….that 92 draft produced some great players and all stars

[@bernardtyler526]

A beast from wat i remember. Salute bro

[@djp2k2]

If I could offer a request, I'd like if you covered the career of Corliss Williamson. The other baby Barkley much like Clarence Weatherspoon. NCAA champ, NBA champ and 6th Man of the Year

[@bigglilwayne7050]

Corliss was much more of a Rasheed Wallace type than he was Charles Barkley

[@ishetrying]

What?

[@notoriousLSGshow]

Yes!

[@notoriousLSGshow]

​@biudlgglilwayne7050 Idk cw was a dog like Barkley

[@zeroturn7091]

Closer to Larry Johnson after the back surgery. I used to hate playing guys like that in the post during pickup games, they’d pin you down by hooking their shooting elbow over you.

[@Wondertroy1TV]

Salute.. He use to live in my town when he played in Philly..Great player..

[@228allday]

One of the best players to come out of Mississippi.

[@zeroturn7091]

It’s crazy because the 601 is more known for football, but we have had some decent talent in the NBA.

[@GQguy24]

Maybe you confused Shawn Bradley with the recently deceased Eric Montross?

[@konstantins1385]

Great episode!

[@tobiogunyemi7631]

Really liked him on that dumb, and really bad, Cavs team. Another banger of a video here, well done.

Loved him at Southern Mississippi…

HOF center and NBA Champion Alonzo Mourning was in this draft and one of your hi-lited players in that Draft was Tom Gugliotta? 🤣 Im just messing witcha fam I love your channel btw. You do some amazing work.💯

[@brooksfleming7643]

Should do one on Cartwright. Lol

[@eugenedantzler4485]

I truly feel he didn't get a fair shake in the NBA... He could have been a regular all star had he been used right and on a contender..

[@dontefair6739]

He looks and plays like Zion

[@sodaholics_]

Baby Barkley 🏀🥄

[@kin-green]

Spoon had the misfortune of being on some horrible 76er teams. He was a good forward who was an exceptional shot blocker for his size. One of the best of the Barkley type players, undersized in terms of height, widebody power forwards between 6'5" and 6'7" with great low post scoring ability, great rebounders, some had hops similar to Barkley. Guys like Spoon, LJ, Corliss Williamson, LaPhonso Ellis, Gary Trent, Anthony Mason, a few others.

[@usmankenchi908]

Brian Grant

[@blakebrown84]

Clarence Weatherspoon has been forgotten by the NBA. He was like the baby version of Charles Barkley who was undersized for a power forward. He was definitely a bust because they didn’t know how to use him properly

Its the city look how they treat their teams , coaches Andy Reid did great fans screamed fire him they did another coach wins a superbowl he looses some they fire him this new coach 1 yr removed from the superbowl he was in trouble but the city turns on their plsyers Reggie White and do Mcnabb and Hunt will find out

[@sonnyandreotte5721]

thus proving a league of un athletic plumbers is total bs.

[@lilpenny1982]

Spoon was supposed to be the next Barkley in Philly but he didn't have the athleticism and strength of Charles

[@davidbradley7971]

I watched Spoon whole Sixers career, I feel he was definitely given a shot. He just wasn't that guy.

[@williamriley5118]

I remember him playing and most fans in Philadelphia looked at him as a cheap imitation of Charles Barkley.

[@youtuber3328]

no disrespect but average sums up clarence weatherspoon and the 70 and 73 knicks weren't as elite as the 94 and 95 rockets and 67 sixers because star willis reed wasn't as elite as legends hakeem olajuwon and wilt chamberlain

Ey bro!?... Cool vid and all but your script content and delivery was VERY monotonous!!! I think it would've been better had u simply spoke freely about his career apposed to robotically and mechanically reading your script which had a structure that seem to go on and on... Just saying 🤷🏾‍♂️
