One of the BEST All The Smoke Interviews Hands Down! GREAT Seeing Mateen Cleaves Back in Front of the Mics and On the Cameras Talking Hoops Once Again!

[@bulatherula4021]

I wish y’all could have seen him in High school before the back injury…he was like prime Baron Davis…but with an attitude!

[@808kyng3]

Mateen was that guy in college but I swear he was even better in high school. Flint stand up! Legend!

[@MDAA313]

Probably....

[@nickh8737]

He was doin his thing b4 the internet!

[@freddieflintstone8103]

Can't lie Flintstones opened the door for Flint basketball I remember them long summer grinds in the city to get better everyday but Mo Cleaves was a beast and the world has not seen how good this man was

[@nicstone3141]

Lol lil homie Flint hoop was put on way before Mo go look and see how many All Americans we produced before them Stones did they thang though

[@marcusdavis1640]

You must be young. Flint ran class A from the late sixties til early 80's.

[@nicstone3141]

Didnt mean to put hoe lmao supposed to been how

[@kencowart393]

​@@nicstone3141Right.....U had Jeff grayer, Roy marble, Glen rice, Yankee, t Greene, Eric Turner, Barry Stevens, Flints golden age of hoops was serious in the 80s😊

[@jarrellsmall211]

Love from Detroit. Growing I didn't start watching basketball til 2002 but growing up as a hooper in Michigan on the 2000s you inherit the legend of Mateen Cleaves. You can tell him & Magic share that Michigan State spirit #GoGreen

[@Duber831]

No BS, Mateen n Stak at the McDonalds all American weekend up Pittsburgh was really the life of the weekend…n I started listening to Top Authority because of him!! Great interview

[@DiaAkin]

Mo Cleaves!!! We went to the same high school. Y'all thought he was cold in college, some of his high school highlights, that were never caught on camera, were INSANE!

[@chrispryor]

Facts Flint Northern 97 here remember the girls and boys won state and should have went back to back

[@DiaAkin]

This was a great, great interview and a Great college PG. The Flintstones were dope.

[@AMart870]

Mateen Cleaves original "Flint-Stone Flint Michigan man this guy played with Supreme Heart and Hustle, he pushed his teammates to that NCAA Championship 🏆!

[@SayBroTogether]

Bro, this sounds like an epic sit-down. Mateen Cleaves has some wild stories from his career. It's crazy how much talent he played against, especially Kobe and Shaq! Can't wait to hear more about his journey and insights on Tom Izzo.

[@paul734]

After winning the NCAA championship, Mateen was a GOAT in Michigan.

[@jonjhon8491]

Maybe in Little Brother land

[@realcoachescorner3503]

Mannn, thess young kids will never know about watching the collegiates play before getting in the league. Guys like Mateen Cleaves, El Ahmid even though he didnt make it from Uconn alongside with RIP who did. Duncan at Wake Forest, Jordan Worthy Perkins at UNC. The kids these days should be looking at these interviews, then looking at as much games of theirs as possible. Cleaves was a beast!

[@MightymouseB-gw1sw]

Cleaves professional career does no justice to he college career

[@Supreme36074]

El Amin was drafted by the Bulls I believe & played two seasons in the league. He was undersized but I watched him have some good games with the Bulls

[@microwave551]

Mateen was always one of my favorite college players now after watching this it’s solidified even more 💪🏾💪🏾 funny as hell too

[@amanapart27]

Mateen my top 3 Favorite college point gods of all time. Ed Cota , Mateen Cleeves, and Victor Paige. My favorite from college. The more popular names you guys think of were more scoring 2 guards . These 3 they were floor generals

I remember the Saturday night before the 2000 MSU Championship, my ex walked out on me and I watched the MSU Final Four....man! The following Monday, MSU won the National Championship! Mateen was a true Beast on the Court! He was THE leader of that team! I believe Tom Izzo gave his Son the middle name of Mateen! Steven Mateen Izzo! Straight up!

[@Supreme36074]

Great interview fellas .

[@elbowgang9715]

I remember growing up in the mid 90s Mateen, Drew Henson and Dane Fife being the biggest high school athletes around. Jason Richardson name didn't really hit the scene until his senior year of 99 when he battled Lavell Blanchard for Mr Basketball.

[@JacobsFishingChannel]

Wish I would’ve caught this interview live i would’ve asked yall to ask him bout art Norman

[@tsiswhoiam]

He was the reason why I became a MS fan..

[@jawdropshop]

this guy is the epitome of CHARISMA!!

[@916hellas]

The kings vs Lakers battles were epic in early 2000's!.. That was literally the best two teams in the league that year. That was really the NBA finals during the WCF of 2002. We would all chill at TGIF's on howe ave after all home games. Anyone who was there knows what's up!.. Holla!

Mateen and Mo Pete was a problem in the NCAA back in the day. Mateen's NBA career dwindled kinda fast while Mo Pete became a decent role player in the NBA.

Tim Donaghy didn't ref a single game of that 2002 Lakers/Kings series. Also, the Rick Fox vs Doug Christie fight happened in the pre-season of the NEXT season. These dudes are mistaken.
