NBA Legends Tell Never Before Heard Stories! | Sam Cassell | MaXed Out #2 /w Vernon Maxwell

[@joos1joos926]

When Sam came, I noticed right away that he was a rook with a veteran soul. He was surrounded by real men,really driven thirsty pros. He was so steady,he was an excellent closer. At the end of games when it was all on the line the coach let him finish. I watched him grow in one season in a league which normally takes three years to learn to play his position.

[@BadgerWolf-19]

I met Sam in 2006 in downtown Sacramento...he was with cuttino mobley just walking around...nobody knew who they were. I ran up as a 16 year old on the verge of tears lol. They dapped me up and kept it pushing. I was happy and sad at the same time. Just like that a vapor a moment and they were gone...since that day I never looked at celebrities the same...they're just humans hustling to survive like all of us. He still is my favorite player of all time and I molded my game after him which got me to the JUCO level and free college degree. God bless Sam Cassell.

[@xavierhall84]

Mad Max and H-Town forever!! 93', 94' and 95' what a time to be in H-Town

[@jonathanorr44]

This is amazing! The 94 Rockets were my guys as a kid. Great to see two of my favorites from that team linked up and reminiscing.

[@powerbadpowerbad]

I loved them too,but,I wasn't a kid,I was in the army,stationed at Ft Hood,Tx-1st Cav Div. GO-ARMY !!!! LOL.

[@damilidgaf98]

I've been waiting to get this guy on for a long time this is my 2nd episode. got to love Max

[@wacojohnnydean1777]

Shout out to the ‘94 and ‘95 Rockets! I love these two dudes! I’m so happy for Vern for having the opportunity to engage in this type of platform! 💪🏾

[@mileswestmoreland5515]

love the basketball clips to go with the conversation!

[@tomswill9189]

This was a great interview. Great job Max. Great questions. Love this.

[@AMart870]

*The people been waiting on a Mad Max Podcast* 👍 💯

[@dadof5285]

Damn Sleepy Floyd surely lives up to his name in that still shot!😂😂😂

[@williamhorace5794]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@TStew-sx5ik]

From a East Baltimore Native. Love to see our 'Bmore Hoop Legends' (Sam, Mr.Bogues, Will Barton, Rudy Ray, and many more) still giving and receiving from the GAME. Keep doing it Mr.Cassell and we'll see you Head Coach eventully.

[@michaelbradford4444]

Not sure if it seems like a lifetime or like it was yesterday when I took my wife and kids to both parades (championships)....I loved you both back then and your still my boys till the end! God Bless!

[@sesimie]

The 93-95 Rockets were my very favorite years following a team. I remember using a dot matrix printer to print out the game stats using dialup internet. Clutch Rockets....Some of the Best Days Watching sports! Hakeem is my fav athlete of all time!

[@2KGrind09]

me & my homies met sam outside the club not even knowing who he was our new rookie, but he was just hanging out like nothing. talking about the cars & etc. Always a Htown favorite

[@andrewmcfarlane4724]

Cassell was like an all-star caliber as a 24-year old rookie - secret weapon for a loaded 95' team that included a 3rd option in Horry that achieved higher gamescore in those Finals than any of Pippen's Finals

[@TheHeavensFellen]

94 and 95, the year that maxwell quit

[@skipskip9430]

Sam was a Helluva player, a clutch player who showed up in the biggest moments. He’s been coming up through the coaching ranks the right way, earning it! Someone should’ve given him a chance many, many years ago. Look at his resume, he knows basketball. He should be a division 1 coach right now. Whoever takes a chance on him is going to look like a genius. As far as his bball acumen, I’d go as far as to say any bottom 5 team would be better off giving him a shot than their current coach when you factor in all variables. Don’t just give him a bottom feeder, see what he could do with a more veteran team; that is where he would at his best!

[@MOG9850]

I appreciate what Sam stands on. Not salty that he hasn't gotten a shot as a head coach yet, just working and seeing how it plays out. Gonna be good to see if he makes it.

[@alwayskul]

Sam Cassell was wise beyond his years (not just during those first 2 championship seasons), but his whole career. Houston doesn't win those 2 chips without Sam.

[@205mrha]

facts...

[@cesarmedina7080]

Mad Max should be doing villain voice work in movies.

[@fightbreakdown885]

"Got Bucks like Milwaukee, cause like Sam I Cassell" Jadakiss

[@RenardStubbs]

Baltimore native I HAD A TALK SHOW ON THE RADIO..we had Sam on the show after he drafted by the Rockets thus teams one of my favorites ..

[@joepermenter7228]

That junior college he played at was San Jacinto Junior College in Pasadena, TX. It's very possible he was on The Rockets radar pre FSU being that he played local JUCO ball right down the road from H-Town.

[@vitoponzio2234]

For the luv of God Sam, don't leave. We, the Sixer's, need u to replace Doc when he leaves/retires. Much luv!

[@big-l5771]

No Sam needs his own team like Memphis start from scratch .

[@vitoponzio2234]

Mute point now, plus getting Nurse was a great signing. I always admired Nick but I never thought we had a chance of signing him. I still don't understand why the Raptors fired him. Yes he's a tough coach but he knows his x's and o's. Doesn't matter now, he's in our house and I like what I see so far.@@big-l5771

[@baltimorejae7397]

My man Sam a Baltimore legend

[@nabi5864]

Talent for Talent pound for pound I considered the SaMAX the best guard combo ever ...

[@elishaheath2342]

Yes Sir! Mad Max

[@ttenkrut]

Great upload!

[@tomswill9189]

I love these dudes games. Love it

[@dragnet53]

How about Sam Cassell as the Rockets head coach to replace Silas? lol

[@pistolpete101624]

This brings back memories

[@SizzleouttaTx]

This podcast is monumental!! Hopefully max decides to follow our young rockets team 👀 and wassup with Coach Cassell coming to the rockets also

[@kOround1]

Thats cool Sam Cassell played with Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward.

[@bigal724]

Don't know Sam personally but being a man from Baltimore I always rooted for him

[@drewlavay]

Nigga said "Big Baby, Leon Powe" and put up a pic of Avery Bradley 😂😂😂

[@mscnhou1]

I fill blessed to have been able to watch the Rockets through those years. Dream was absolutely amazing every night.

[@dmerls8571]

Rockets went from the very poor defense of the Suns to the brutal defense of the Knicks. The basketball was completely different from one series to the other but the Rockets got it done. Hakeem was the MVP but Max was the catalyst, the fire and the heart. My all time favorite NBA championship team. Still got my Rockets #11 Max jersey. Good to see Max (and Sam) aging so well.

[@powerbadpowerbad]

Nba basketball was so-GOOD back then,I wouldn't miss a game !!! The Rockets playoff run and champion ships were-GOLD.

[@PBCkiller23]

Sam should've definitely received that houston rockets coaching job that's crazy Baltimore legend

[@wildhareonthegulfofmexico3539]

Fuck man, I love Sam. I remember the second year yáll won, I was coming out of one of the Greenway buildings when Sam was coming in. I had to hold the door open for him cause he had that pulled muscle right before going up to Utah. I'm only 5'7'' and I thought Sam was little. Shit, Sam way fuckin big! So cool to see these vids now man.... Those were good years in Houston.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-rq5cs]

Good to see you MADMAX , hoping Sam Cassell becomes Houston next coach

[@perryjohnson1683]

Mad Max not in the Univ of Florida Hall of Fame!?

[@StackhatsZPS]

Sammy needs a head coaching job ASAP

[@sushimaster100]

Wish we never traded Cassell and Horry for Barkley. We sacrificed our future for an old, unable to stay healthy Barkley.

[@gerardchoucroun7487]

the gentlemen are aging WELL.

[@Jim26D]

They look like they could be be playing at least in the big 3

[@Da34Box]

3 houston rocket legends from florida state, sam cassell, bob sura and charlie ward.

[@TheHeavensFellen]

Bovada, for the captions its Scotty Brooks not Scottie.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Sam-i-am should have been hired as head coach when Dandtony (hopefully I didn't butcher the spelling of his name too bad) took the stage left... Why the Rockets won't give Sam Cassell a shot at head coach just blows my mind 🤯..

[@kalexander5902]

I still say yall would HAVE still beat the bulls !!

[@aliasname602]

Vernon Maxwell is the ultimate Florida Man, the entire state should retire his number.

[@matteice2994]

Maxx do your thing love you Bro now this is you

[@melvino8926]

[@mileswestmoreland5515]

[@ivanvillarruz8412]

Damn, I wish Ben Simmons listened to Sam during they're time together with the Sixers.

[@bobbytaylor6946]

[@ericgarrison93]

People need to see and hear more on madmax

[@BLACKICONOCLAST]

SAM CASSELL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HEAD COACH IN THE NBA 10 YEARS AGO.BUT HE MUST BE TOO BLACK TOO STRONG. AND HE WAS A GOOD NBA PLAYER. THAT COMBINATION SCARES WHITE OWNERS HE HAS NO WEAKNESSES.

[@robluv4592]

Sam jump shot freethrow percentage won mad Max Hakeem a title

[@brianlevy5813]

Big baby hold your head 💪😡🤬🤔

[@markvilla8703]

Sam looks scared of Mad Max to this day.

[@damilidgaf98]

Sam humiliated Greg & Hubert, we could have really used Marc Jackson in that championship series

[@0Caracalla]

Rockets 4ever!!!!!!!!

[@RoBLuv-g6u]

Hakeem has zero rings witj out sam cassell. Reason rockets won is s.cassell .

[@anthonycristofani6856]

[@rashawn2323]

Damn Sam 🤦🏽‍♂️ how you get the names fucked up lol. Glen Davis is “ big baby”, not Leon Powe 😂

[@Charmcityslimm]

2 Point Yesus

[@robluv4592]

Hakeem had same team.lost Hakeem only rings Sam Cassell on his team...he had 32 points in finals as a rookie. Hakeem u owe Sam

[@Nix-co]

🫡🫡

[@zaezack4242]

Max looked older when. He was playing lol buddy got a head full of hair and all

[@joeb2756]

How many championships does this man have to win in coaching before he gets a head coach spot … but we got Jj redick getting a shot Smfh

[@vegasmitch1472]

if it Wasn't for Sam there's a Chance Houston doesn't Win. Why because Max was "Mad" Most that Series & didn't play Great. Kenny got Punked by the Harper & the Knicks & also didn't play Great, Sam the Rookie did!!

[@RoBLuv-g6u]

Rockeys had same te couldnt win till s cassell reason s shoots off the dtibble mad max kenny could not

[@layuponthedownlow]

Rockets 🚀 before drexler was one of the strongest teams in the west history. Rockets should of been the true champions in '91, '92 and '93 💯 NBA rigging games for jordan to win his scripted and fake AF championships to sell shoes 👟
