Ranking The 12 Best Sixth Men In NBA History

[@DUB_87]

My man Wilson Sy is killing it with content. With the quarantine he has all the time in the world to make videos. 😂

[@Espiritdcore]

NOBODY: WILSON SY: THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY!!!!!

[@muckest]

Growing up a Suns fan my favorite 6th man had to be Leandro Barbosa. Faster player in the league some years and those backdoor cuts were almost unstoppable

[@Cardb33]

There are many great players on this list but something overlooked on Ginobili's part is that he had the skill set to be a Superstar in the League but sacrificed that for team success. Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford are amazing but outside of high volume scoring they aren't great at much else. Ginobili easily could have been the #1 option on a good team if he wanted to be. 24-26 PPG, solid Rebounding and top level 2-Guard Playmaking coupled with more than passable defensive skills would have been 100% attainable if he wanted to command a team of his own. He sacrificed Max Contracts, the Spotlight, the perennial All-Star selections and the recognition that comes with it all for the success of his team and in the end he won 4 NBA Championships for it. He's my choice for Best 6th Man in the History of the game.

[@crisvillanueva3694]

May fav 6th man of the year is Ginobli, williams and Odom 💪

[@ayanasweets6767]

Mine LOU Will

[@carlogarcia940]

Agree Manu👍

[@jep7936]

"it's an absolute TRAVESTY!!" signature words of Wilson 😂😂😂

[@earvinjeremyfandialan94]

havlicek as your 6th man shows how deep the celtics team is back then.

[@4biddenworldorder]

Bobby Jackson was nasty ! Atleast an honorable mention

[@Historicutuber]

Yeah he was a beast

[@stevechen1991]

Bobby Jones is literally flying all over the court with dunks and blocks, dam you can tell he puts 110% effort into everything!!!

[@franbravo5424]

Nice video Wilson, but for me Ginobili is the best sixth man of all time.

[@WilsonSy]

From the last 30 years absolutely

[@elijahruderman]

@@WilsonSy Video reccommendation - 10 players that had monster seasons and good postseasons which are forgotten about. Examples: Bernard King 1984, Adrian Dantley 1984, Reggie King 1981 (They made the conference finals w/sub 500 record), Walter Davis 1979 and/or 1984, Kevin Johnson 1990, Richard Lewis 2009, etc. Another great video, keep it going.

[@trueeeghg2286]

Wilson Sy shut up

[@thebayareastandout]

I agree

[@ContextReallyMatters]

Kukoc can give him a run for his money

[@marcoslaureano5562]

I love Michael Cooper and Bobby Jones. The guys could shoot but I love dudes who play tenacious lock down defense. The type of defense that even gets their teammates hyped up. I'll always remember Jones in my mind tearing down the court and leaping to block a shot or throwing down a big ass power dunk on the opposing team. Great list man.

[@trevornissen3523]

I love that you added a great defensive guy not just offense i just watched cooper in a couple old games recently

[@iranlassninja7062]

I miss ginobili

[@averyce2]

Finally someone got this 6th Man ranking right... GREAT JOB!!

[@ricshaffer4009]

THANK YOU!!!...finally somebody reconginized Booby Jones for the player he was...The first guy to average 2 blks and 2 steals a game for a season...give 100% every play of ever game...at 6'9 he could play and defend all 3 upfront positions...didnt cheap shot or talk trash...just played his ass off and did whatever the team needed score , defend , rebound , pass...anyone questioning him at #4 let me tell you this...he could legitimately be higher on the list actually...great job sir

[@Historicutuber]

Great video. I can’t argue with it

[@HaveFunLosingBro]

Great video. Some of these players I was unfamiliar with. For sure going to watch some Bobby Jones games rn.

[@WilsonSy]

Glad you'll know more about them, Jones was amazing on defense and ran around like a free safety. Very under-appreciated and would have won a couple DPOY if the award existed earlier

[@juiceman503]

Manu is the best 6th man of all time! Other than that, pretty good list

[@raymarkogayre128]

For me it is Manu Ginobili.. Not just because I'm a Spurs fan.... He lead the Argentina to rise in the basketball world... Won 4x NBA championship won 6th man of the year 2008 2004 gold medalist...

[@adamk5672]

Great list!

[@znebrem]

Definitely Manu

[@emgsnts4188]

Always love your contents❣️ keep it up man

[@ernieestrada193]

Manu Ginobili 🇨🇱☝️👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🐐

[@jorgeterrazas6505]

Robert Horry made so many clutch shots in his career it's ridiculous.

[@guesswhonot1620]

I don't care what anyone else says: The true greatest 6th man of all time is Kevin McHale.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

yup

[@JDubs1464]

Or Bill Walton

[@NOYOUSHUTUP3.14]

Before McHale broke his foot he was very athletic, during the 86' season Boston used to run the tallest line-up in NBA history with Parrish, Walton, Bird , DJ and McHale. McHale would usually play defense on the two guard or small forward in those lineups and when the Celts would play Atlanta or L.A. McHale would d 'Nique or Worthy when he and Bird were on the floor together pre-foot injury his quickness and reflexes along with his wingspan and deceptive strength made him one of the most unique defenders in League history. He should receive far more credit for his defense than he currently gets. I am glad I grew up when I did and I got to see everybody save Havliceck play. Those Bad Boy Pistons teams when they would run out 'Zeke , Joe D and Vinnie usually with Worm or Salley and Laimbeer and just demolish teams or when LA would play Coop, Magic, Worthy and Byron Scott with Cap or Mychal Thompson and run you to death or when Nellie would go with Pressey , Pierce and Moncrief, that's how the term "Point Forward" got traction. When Bobby Jones would get on the court with Dr. J and turn the passing lanes into fast break dunks, there is always a place for innovative coaches to get creative when they have a great sixth man. Spoelestra has been doing some interesting things with Dragic this year as well. Other honorable mentions: Thurl Bailey , Thunder Dan, John Starks, usualy any Don Nelson coached team would have a strong sixth man. The list could go on. Thanks for the vid and not succumbing to recency bias.

[@makis7383]

Eric Gordon deserves at least an honourable mention. Averaging around 16-18ppg coming off the bench while being one of the best 3pt shooters (he shoots so many that's why his percentage isn't eye popping) and a solid defender.

[@krak3494]

Montrezl Harrell will be in this list within the next 3 yrs

[@TheIcemanthomas]

nah. He'll need alot more than 3 years to be at this level

[@zackspiker_]

Great video but what about Bonzi Wells?

[@devinsanidiot1150]

I swear Cedric Maxwell should be in the top ten

[@jamiej5425]

Never seize to amaze me Wilson, once again great work! You highlighted a lot of great players who rarely get the recognition they deserve. Well done!

[@WilsonSy]

Thanks me man. I got another great MJ vid coming out tomorrow evening!

[@fivefiveniner1537]

The first sixth man I ever routed for was Šarūnas Marčiulionis Im a Warriors fan no brainer! Although Jamal Crawford started for the Warriors a season he still is one of the greatest 6th men all time. My last shout out would go to a guy that has been a starter plus a sixth man is Sweet Lou Williams dude can hit for 30 off the bench cold blooded! #goldhearted! 💯

[@MyDixieNormis]

I respect this list

[@carlogarcia940]

Manu is my favorite player and best sixman .

[@sayhilobby5282]

This is a great list

[@smol9832]

Bobby Jackson needs some mention

[@Inktownicon]

12. Jason Terry 11. Toni Kukoc 10. Detlef Schrempf 9. Jamal Crawford 8. Lou Williams 7. Ricky Pierce 6. Vinnie Johnson 5. Michael Cooper 4. Bobby Jones 3. Manu Ginobili 2. Kevin McHale 1. John Havlicek

[@Freebassbaby]

Did Crawford greasy

[@knoda2603]

BASS:MOBB WOP GOTTI ik right Crawford is like the most iconic sixth man ever

[@guesswhonot1620]

@@knoda2603 Most iconic, maybe. But best? No.

[@garzar1778]

Bro just wanted to let you know you are becoming My GOAT for NBA uploads. These daily uploads ( Which are consistent too💪🏻 ) are amazing, your content is great! Ive agreed with everything you said ( besides the fact that MJ > Lebron ) But Ive learned So much watching your vids bro! The fact that you dont have more subs is an absolute TRAVESTY!!

[@iamEddieP]

That Bobby Jones dunk 👀

[@theboggsstory6235]

well Manu for me is still the best 6th man simply because pop would give him the last shot to win or lose a f'in game. not the starters but Manu.

[@sherylmartinez5612]

For me is manu ginobili

[@dontariuscroom7831]

I have to go with Manu Ginobili good defense and offense clutch shooter when needed

[@KevinGrandpre]

Manu is number one on this list He was a star disguised as a bench player. One can argue he the second best star behind Duncan makin Parker number three

[@chad9113]

Glad Jason Terry is on the list.. He didn't win the 6th man award but he's one of the best guy who comes out of the bench..

[@meatyeye]

richard dominguez Jason Terry won 6th man in 09

[@knoda2603]

U should’ve put how many minutes they got coming off the bench cus players like Lou Williams are basically starters that come off the bench he gets more minutes then some starters on his own team

[@Jose-kb2yy]

The clippers were dealing with injuries during the 2017-18 season

[@knoda2603]

Jose ok so put the man on the starting lineup where he can be more productive

[@chad9113]

But it favors the team when they comes off the bench coz they can rest their stars or key starters while still having a good player that can be a huge treath..

[@bellpapabear]

Toni Kukoc is My Best 6th Man of aLL Time... ThankfuL for every Content You are Providing... Stay Safe...

[@Hardcore4Losers]

Definitely Toni Kukoc!

[@toddstamos89]

Vinnie Johnson should have been #1. Cant put it by stats. He backed up a hall of fame backcourt of Thomas and Dumars. The perfect 6th man.

[@ramonjr.intong5376]

Can't believe Kevin McHale was playing coming off the bench

[@KingLeoXV]

Ricky Pierce looks just like Jordan Peele

[@snapstradamus888]

AKA *"The 6th Starter"*

[@Animal_Cub]

I thought Vinnie Johnson won a ship in Seattle. He should have 3 rings

[@PhilBurr100]

Naw, Vinnie was still at Baylor in 78-79'

[@faceman7966]

Great content as always....No Lamar Odom? This list needs his name

[@dongky20]

#20 Manu Ginobili 👍

[@paulninoaguinaldo3311]

Lamar Odom.. 2008-2010 lakers was 🔥🔥🔥

[@WilsonSy]

I love Odom, but he started in 2008 and didn't come off the bench till Bynum and Gasol were heathy

MANUUUUUUUUUUU

[@ME-kd1ko]

The best 6th man of all time is that lanky white guy who played with Larry Bird in the eighties.

[@kefkapalazzo1]

for the guys ive watched closely it has too be Iggy... he was the best 6th man in the league for like 4-5 years. even a lot of good teams would've gotten better with his defense, experience, IQ, passing ability, and unselfishness in a starting role.

[@antwan1357]

I think Kevin McHale was like the Legendary sixth man.

[@tristandavis9335]

Bobby Jones Poster Larry Bird....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mikemurphy415]

I know I was a tad young in the 80’s but never knew McHale was a 6th man .... I would’ve paid money betting he was a starter

[@kylethomas2993]

He was a starter later in his career, but in the early 80s he came off the bench

[@christan_deleon2908]

Dwight Howard is a hall of famer

[@ismailkhaledegypt]

No shit lol

[@funkyworm6517]

The Microwave!

[@dvon1097]

RIP Hondo Havlicek

[@amirjones8619]

Jamal Crawford should be higher

[@WilsonSy]

I like Crawford, but I can't put him above anyone listed after. All were great players

[@joshuavelez9046]

Jason Terry should be higher 😒

[@amirjones8619]

Wilson Sy I understand by Crawford literally scored 50 more than four times probably top 3 baller handlers and 19000 points and got the award 3 times at least he’s should be top 5

[@amirjones8619]

Bro John Havlicek lead the league in minutes played twice 😂 he doesn’t

[@WilsonSy]

@@amirjones8619 Crawford also started a lot of his games earlier in his career, which is also why I didn't rank him higher.

[@johnabuque6747]

Ginobili no doubt.

[@puryear-hp5bp]

Wassup Wilson

[@Bluebirdfalling]

Detlef was great.

[@290TheEmpireRecords]

Was a threat from 3

[@davegould7016]

Kevin Mchale is the best. Would’ve been the best pf ever if duncan didnt play

Hey Wilson

[@andreijamestumbaga1870]

Jamal Crawford only 9Th Place Hmm🤔🤔🤔

Ginobliiiiiiiiiiiii

[@alexandrecordeiro2265]

leandro barbosa

[@mariatheresapovadora6257]

James Harden

[@guillermor9207]

My favorite 6th man all time is James Jones. He carried LeBron to 3 rings He was a lethal 3 point shooter with a soft touch from deep that made you pay if you didn’t guard him air tight when he was behind the arc waiting for LeBron to toss the ball out and Jones would drain 3’s all day. He ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISH, ANNIHILATED, HUMILIATED, OBLITERATED, EMBARRASSED and DESTROYED anyone coming in LeBron’s way when he was in the East

[@somerandom6883]

Yessir

[@WilsonSy]

Nice one my man. No titles for LBJ without James Jones

[@ehjaybee85]

You say : 'very underated' I hear : 'never heard of them before'

[@kylethomas2993]

These should all be household names to any NBA fan

[@CarlosCuevas-e5o]

No Ben Gordon

[@kohsmoger1567]

I’m sorry iggy needs to be on here. I don’t care if he was a starter most of his career. He’s more impactful than Crawford. Great video though. But iggy is one of the very few bench players to win a finals mvp in nba history

[@chrismathgenius]

No one is denying Iggy's impact, but he started majority of his career. So he doesn't qualify since you have to come off the bench for majority of your career.

[@WilsonSy]

Iggy came off the bench for only a few seasons, GS didn't dominate in 2015 finals till Iggy was moved to the starting lineup

[@kohsmoger1567]

Wilson Sy Iggy came off the bench during the entire warriors dynastic run from the 2014-2015 season all the way to the 2018-2019 season for five postseasons and 5 regular seasons.

[@kohsmoger1567]

Wilson Sy But he was a bench player that entire season

[@dust10g]

for me manu is #1 he has an incridble career.
