Replacing A Legend: Rodney Stuckey Stunted Growth Story

[@stuntedgrowth]

Will the legend Chauncey Billups ever make the HOF?

[@edwardkimakaballislifekim_578]

No

[@swagg4pres853]

Yes

[@swagg4pres853]

T Mac Grant Hill Tim Hardaway and Yao is in!!!

[@mzdeesuite201]

Absolutely he deserve it

[@DW-es3iy]

For sure

[@johnnikollaj496]

Dude, you gotta do one on Rodney Hood. 6'9 played the 2,3,4, and never lived up to potential pre injury but had the size and athleticism.

[@lukesmith9692]

Not the 4

[@johnnikollaj496]

He did. Go look it up on basketball reference . He played a full season and split time at the 3/4 on others.

[@leetorry]

I remember him for teaching the chick from Paramore how to crip walk.

[@mxhughes]

It's crazy how things are now compared to how they were done back then.Chauncey was only 31 when he got traded when he was still a capable scorer,effective leader n top 10 point guard for a few more years.Idk how detroit thought Chauncey was done so soon when it wouldn't be a question to keep him at age 31 by today's standard of basketball.This why I tell ppl they can't use today's standard to judge older basketball moves n situations

[@TTJJCC]

I don't think Joe thought that Billups was done, but moreso the roster had maxed out and they had to do something different.

[@mxhughes]

@@TTJJCC but they kept rip n tayshaun for like 3-4 more years wasting away.Detroit seriously had no solid plans in place that's why they've been struggling nonstop since that era

[@TTJJCC]

@@mxhughes True. Signing Ben Gordon while keeping Rip made ni sense at all.

[@thedoranwilliamsshow6863]

Got to see Stuckey play in person with Detroit. Always a solid player. Just didn't have a true position to be more than a role player.

[@highlightboy23]

He is a tweener but nevertheless a talented player.

[@shandoncooper27]

What do you mean by that

[@paulnguyen2227]

Garbage

[@thedoranwilliamsshow6863]

@@shandoncooper27 He needed to be a better ball handler to be a great point guard and a better shooter to be a 2

[@MultiBrian1986]

I never thought I'd see someone i actually have met on here. Used to see him all the time working out at the L.A. Fitness in Covington.

[@versatillion15]

Did he hoop when he was there?

[@Grind2Excellence]

Me too

[@Grind2Excellence]

He saw my HS t shirt & recognized it, he graduated from the same high school Kentwood . This was during 2012 NBA lockdown season cool guy 🙏

[@SANTANA1deep]

He was one of my favorites growing up. Dude put in work for Kentwood

[@sosmooth13]

Stuckey is one of those love him or hate him guys. As a Pistons fan, we had no choice and he played like a solid role player. Sometimes that’s all your team needs. Our defense was still the best, and our bench (if continually built the right way) could help give us the edge. I’m a firm believe that Dumars was better at trading for talent than he was at drafting and building it up. He stuck gold with Billups, Sheed, Rip, and Wallace, but neglected the team after that brilliance.

[@MrZahsome]

Finally we get a video about 50 Cent.

[@deebrown4744]

He was a MONSTER at East Washington!!!! He definitely put up numbers

[@SANTANA1deep]

He was definitely a real one. Cold as hell even he played in Kent too

[@certifiedchaos4643]

[@IcebergSlim03]

Die hard pistons fan. Born and raised in Detroit. I remember all of this. Watched it unfold. The keys were given to stuckey waaay too soon. The franchise still hasn’t been the same since trading Chauncey. It started with Ben Wallace going to the bulls but trading Chauncey was hit to the stomach. Stuckey was a solid NBA player but there was no way he could’ve filled Chauncey’s shoes.

[@Ohh_Really]

been Pistons 4 Life. Well put my dude 🙌 DEEETROIT BAAASKETBAALLL

[@sosmooth13]

I think Dumars didn’t realize that when he got Rip, Billups, Sheed, Wallace, and Tayshaun, that he stuck gold due to all of them being specialist at something. They already crafted and molded talents separately, but when put together, created a winning team. It’s why Tayshaun fit so well. His scouting and drafting was some of the bottom 3 worst in that era, so it doesn’t surprise me that he couldn’t replicate that success through the draft.

[@IcebergSlim03]

@@Ohh_Really yes sir!! I’m still a die hard fan. All the way back to the Grant hill days before the teal lol. I’ll never forget when stuckey showed some signs in the ‘08 ECF against Boston, i had a feeling at that moment that Chauncey’s days were numbered. Fast forward to the ‘08-‘09 season, i was at that last game before he got traded. Couldn’t believe it. We haven’t recovered yet.

[@phamawa]

Stuckey mightve won 6th man of the year honestly had they kept them intact. Btw, did Ben wallace just straight up leave for money? I always thought it was weird when he went to the bulls.

[@IcebergSlim03]

@@sosmooth13 he didn’t realize it at all. I can kind of understand why he left Ben walk because they were all aging but they were still getting to the ECF. You let Ben walk and the WHOLE identity of the team changed. They were a defensive team but once they added flip Saunders(R.I.P.), they focused on offense more and Ben didn’t like that. Once Ben walked after the ‘05-‘06 season, i knew it was over. Joe could’ve paid Ben though even though he was aging.

[@thedoranwilliamsshow6863]

Tyler Hansbrough was the best freshman in college in 2005, but Stuckey was the most explosive

[@mbmdallo17040]

his basketball career didnt pan out as planned but at least his rap career as 50 cent was ok

[@judekabongo282]

Lol

[@Jjjhbyhjbgv]

I got buckets with Stuckey on 2k. No cap now that I’m thinking about he might be in my top 15. Them pistons teams was insane

[@Dantana773]

Salute to Rodney Stuckey he had some solid years in the league but never gave me superstar pg Vibes and lacked a deep shot and play making skills but he could score attacking the rim

[@Imgonegetu]

loved playing with stuckey on 2k back in the day

[@slimypickle19]

Chauncey Billups was super under appreciated. A lot like Jason Kidd, just a great all around super smart pg that knew how to win with whatever was around him.

[@marquesterry3585]

That clip of coach holding Rodney I slightly remember Rodney suffering from a seizure that game. He was a big threat to me against the Celtics in 08.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Oh ok, that's what it was. I couldn't quite remember.

[@zeroturn7091]

Only played his rookie year, but Chris Porter had some crazy setbacks… Wait a minute, is it too soon for Kevin Porter Jr?

[@bobbysmoove4796]

He actually did one for KPJ a couple years back but another one definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea now…

[@couldbeanyone8174]

I remember Rodney Stuckey, he was a monster on the court

[@Foreign84]

😂😂😂

[@Philadelphia_Jamal]

This guys made it to the League. That's a major accomplishment! And a blessing for sure. He is a "has been", not a "never has been." He can hang his hat on that.

[@tinkertell4266]

Hey do you have a video on Scottie Thurman from Arkansas, it's a shame he never had an NBA career as good as he was. Great shooter who can put the ball on the floor .

Tremendous Shoe History...Stuckey R🌹SE...

[@jeviosoorishas181]

That trade for Allen Iverson really ended up being a disaster. Too many guys fighting to be the #1 option.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

I definitely remember he was a quality baller. The bench incident when he wasn't feeling his best is what he seems more known for these days.

[@testostyrone33]

I rock with this channel but Stuckey was a very solid player and had a very respectable career.

[@versatillion15]

Should’ve been better that’s the point

[@baconeggcheesepodcast9390]

I was thinking the same like he was pretty good

[@JordanO317]

He came form eastern Washington. Back when a mid major was as good as a D3… that’s a growth spurt gang I ain’t gone lie to you. If the NBA truly thought he was generational they would have taken him early like Curry 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mikepeoples5595]

While watching this episode I saw someone u could do, Charlie Villanueva. What happened 2 that guy?

[@brdarlin]

I just remember Stuckey trying to drive in and losing the ball constantly

There was this article that came out that Stuckey was a guy that the Lakers might be interested in before the draft and I think they had the pick right after Detroit.

[@user-fo1wt3nj4w]

Rodney suckey is a real blast from the past for me

[@zeroturn7091]

He was more Dion Waiters than D. Wade imo. He also seemed like he’d be a better 2 than 1, if developed correctly.

[@theetruth8626]

Tell me what's easier passing or shooting? What's easier to learn passing or shooting Passing bruh Stuckey was a big point guard that didn't have a teacher to show him the game correctly plus everyone act like Detroit was running and gunning they was playing half court basketball forcing Stuckey to play at his weakness instead of running the floor to let the kid actually play his game
