Every NBA player was “that dude” in high school.

[@CPryor2012]

Literally. I’ve seen quite a few out Texas. Nobody could do nothing with those kids 😂😂

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

Even the very worse nba players were hot shots in high school and college. That’s the crazy thing.

[@gavinsilva3919]

Yeah too bad looney had a ton of injuries that made him move like a center now. Pre injury he could of been like a more offensive presence

[@therealjayz8036]

Then why he ain’t do that in the NBA? They literally leaving him open on the perimeter. He goes from this to not being able to hit open shots ?

[@PistolCandy]

@@therealjayz8036 hip injury changed his game bro

[@AAli-tx7tz]

He got hurt back around UCLA days and early NBA and I don't think he ever fully recovered but has supplemented his game extremely well.

[@ThinkBeforeYouAct]

Hips

[@jankfoots]

He had poor rehabilitation then. The people around him didn’t help him train his body correctly and strengthen the injured complex through resistance and mobility work.

[@kingjafet3173]

“""”””””"”””””””””””””

[@LaughingJokerProd]

He adapted well and he's tough. He wont ever be a scorer, but his defense is key to the warriors

[@xavwill4807]

he wack lmao

[@Trey7105]

The way he plays now is nothing like how he played back then. He is more defensive minded now and does more rebounding than scoring. He's the ultimate team guy. He is willing to do whatever they need him to do in order to win. He's a true ironman and professional. It's mind boggling how good his all around offensive gm was.

[@tranquilanimaljamlover66]

A testament to the talent level of the nba

A lot to do with his injuries actually. Credit to him for changing his game and body to be able to still compete after all those injuries

[@14thninja]

If y’all didn’t know Loon had double hip surgery before entering the league. He was an offensive beast prior 💪🏾

[@yuch1102]

I refuse to believe that surgery turned your confidence from not even looking at the basket now when defense is daring you to shoot

[@seancalhoun7752]

I mean look at his college tape. Was moving better there too.

[@garethpearce5255]

What did he do to his hip to require surgery?

[@rasheedshakir6431]

Ok where are these fucking guard skills now, did someone inject him with kryptonite and now he is a Useless CENTER!!!

[@34uzz78]

@@yuch1102 if you’ve ever had a major surgery before and had to come back and play you’d 100% lose most of your confidence

[@V1C1OUZ]

Damn, I never thought I would see Loon shoot jumpshots and threes. Thanks for this video! 😳🍻

[@gregorydavid4776]

Those hip injuries took a toll on him, but he’s still having a really good pro career

[@latezwilliams1020]

So they messed up his jumper lol

[@shaunakkulkarni4679]

⁠@@latezwilliams1020 yeah hip surgery does that.

[@RR-dh1ew]

Idk ab really good but he ight

[@RR-dh1ew]

N I’m a warrior but he jus mid kompared to a lot of the other bigs

[@RiruKrypto_]

He could use those 3 rings to replace it. 🔥

[@ivancolin1546]

Im not a pro nor a sports person but ive been injured badly and fkn injuries really take all the confidence out of your soul... wish a safe recovery for all people out there struggling

[@mattb3672]

Looney still has that game just he’s on a different level now and he knows his role with the warriors . He just needs that confidence back and he’ll be fine .

[@leontteilc9527]

We like him better as a role player especially if he’s gonna keep snatching down 20 rebs every game.

[@livinginchillwaukee]

No he won’t , Davis and lebron going crazy in the post …. I don’t want to see the warriors go 😢

[@josephrodriques994]

Now I understand why he’s a star in his role. He’s a guy who’s been underestimated probably his whole career n has developed a career off pure iq n skill. He’s ultra competitive n a warrior great. Respect 👌

[@franciscast1636]

So interesting to see how drastically different his role is now in the NBA. Wonder how he felt during that adjustment and kudos to him for making that adjustment

[@THE-NC2]

True, considering that if Looney played like he did in HS and in college he definitely would have been a Top 5 draft pick

[@connierodriguez1637]

wow!!!!i cant believe looney did 3points shot...please comeback next season with that play❤

[@MegaJoshpowell]

It’s amazing really something how injuries and surgery can really change you. Your body your confidence your ability and to ppl he looks and seems completely normal😮🙏🏾

[@gerritlullau8174]

Tmac and Drose primary example of this

[@TontaeW1194]

Just goes to show how much confidence plays a factor in basketball

[@And1one757]

That part if he shot those shots in the nba even wide open it would be a straight airball

[@CruddyLord]

Crazy how an injury can affect a player’s potential. Imagine if he didn’t get injured and was this athletic and skillful in he nba

[@Dr.HowieFeltersnatch]

He still is. He is just playing against bums. Every backup center in the NBA can do this against non-NBA talent. There are videos on youtube of steven adams being lights out from 3 and shooting fadeaways in practice. Ben simmons shoots in pickup games and hits crazy shots. Montrezl Harrell looks like a beast against lesser comp.

[@theinktician]

@@Dr.HowieFeltersnatch These are terrible examples, cause there are even more bigs that couldnt do this at any level, while the 2 guys you mentioned were lauded for their talent - and what they could be in Ben Simmons case. Very special case, that guy..

[@Dr.HowieFeltersnatch]

@@theinktician I named 3 people not 2, so I don’t think you even read my comment. You think steven adams and montrezl harrell were lauder for their talent? Monztrezl was a 2nd round pick and adams was drafted as a rebounding big. If there are so many bigs that can’t do this on any level, name 3. Ill wait.

[@zacharyparis]

He has the squarest shoulders ever.

[@EMan-8900]

Looked like a completely different player back then

[@sonidoacuario845]

Cause he was. He had surgery that changed his career

[@bandzpalace]

I think he still has it its just sometimes the nba holds you back with what the team needs and its suppressing to his true talent still either way you gotta love looney

[@joefnd]

No cos if Looney was the main man, GSW wouldn't even make the playoffs. Pretty sure every NBA player was a star prospect until the reality check that there's another unlocked level above normal NBA.

[@christophermoody6840]

I follow the mock drafts every year before the college season starts and right after the NBA draft every year and I remember Looney was projected to go in the top 10 that year and fell ALL THE WAY DOWN to like 30.

[@treyspaulding46]

He hurt his back. had surgeries and it took alot of his PHYSICALITY and motion. Im glad he was able to resume his career at all.

[@anddyglee1835]

Him and Trae Jefferson were a really fun to watch aau team back in the day

[@Poppi-Poppa-Socky]

Looney played on a stacked AAU team called the Milwaukee Rebels that featured him and this electric, little point guard named Demontrae Jefferson. Man those were the good Ole days.

[@blvcxsvntv]

As a Warrior fan, my mind is 🤯🤯🤯

[@cdub4483]

Let him shoot omg

[@sektorman7414]

Mine too..all them extra points we could have if we free the beast. He so unselfish

[@AAli-tx7tz]

Injuries yall. His body didn't recover all the way. Still a very good player in his role

[@MaleikRaikwon]

Remember the 2ks where you upgraded to an 85 but was still in high school playing against 5’10 forwards. That’s this guy

😂😂

[@DT-un3bu]

I’m a ucla fan, and Looney was a stud. I think he’s still growing and it affected his hips. He definitely looks taller than he was in college. I think he plays his role well at GSW

[@zenodee]

No way this is Loon. This is crazy, I understand this is not NBA talent just highschool - but he looked like a completely different player, his body even looked like a swingman Small Forward type of build. His jumper was smooth and his handle seemed tight. Wow.

[@derrickgiles5288]

Would love 2 have a player like looney on my team

[@jamesstephens6464]

He no Dennis Rodman but, he went from a dog in high school to a rebound master in the NBA. Only after he was plagued by injuries before and after college. Then a double hip surgery right before the NBA. . Props to not giving up, he made a way and helped Golden get a ring. Resilience, when there is a wil there is a way.

[@DScott-nk1lo]

We went to the same high school, but at the time our basketball team reaked

[@johncavanaugh6481]

He was like KD back before his hip issues

[@motogp2138]

it just shows how the NBA works, look atbhis game very different from his role in GSW. Good for him he adjusted well unfortunately alot of players didn't, Okafor,Fults,Simmons, in terms of changing what position they play

[@gobbledygookie]

When you're shooting against players that are a foot shorter than you it's a different ballgame
