Rod Strickland x Kyrie Irving

Music: The Game - Like Father, Like Son (instrumental)

[@jonathanrobimson4543]

Rod Strickland is his God Father it makes sense

[@lwalker269]

Rod was so underrated

[@duMaurier15]

Not really.. He has 0 rings and 0 Conference Finals Appearance, 0 All Star, 1 All Second NBA, Average to Below Off and Def. Rating, below .. and been on like 20 NBA teams.. Go back to watching only NBA highlights, kid.

[@nadirahlewis3031]

Rod trained him, he's his God father. I've seen a few videos about their connection.

[@shyheimparker8433]

No didn’t

[@laneyj]

Rod didnt train him, his dad did.

[@ASimpleHeroinUser]

​@@laneyjboth did

[@laneyj]

​@@ASimpleHeroinUserno, he didn't. Rod even says this on the all the smoke podcast. Kyrie got his finishing from his dad, who grew up with Rod. Makes sense that his dad was also super skilled... and people who have seen Kyrie's Dad play (e.g., my dad) can vouch for this

[@thegutpunch1726]

His father trained him. Drederick. He was a baller too and a very good student academically. Rod was still in the league when Kyrie was coming up. But Kyrie's Dad is an interesting story. He was a Bond Trader on Wall St at one point. Could have died during 9/11

[@jaleelmuhammad2222]

From Michell Projects, to Truman High, to De Paul to the League. Nobody wanted any part of Rodney Strickland in his prime. Hands down the most underrated Point Guard ever to play in the League! Kyrie is just as dynamic with a better Jumper!! Peace and love!

[@ARMAGEDDON240BX]

He’s from Mitchels Housing Office building

[@jaleelmuhammad2222]

@@ARMAGEDDON240BX , ok 👍🏿

[@ARMAGEDDON240BX]

@@jaleelmuhammad2222 ​ @Jaleel Muhammad Yeah, he’s from my building in the Bronx (Mitchels Houses). His parents was still living in the same building I was in when he was in his 3rd season in the NBA. I use to see him all the time as a child but when he was drafted by the Knicks and came back to the neighborhood is when he stood out to me, which also got me into basketball. Throughout the 90s he always came around and hung out with old friends in front of the Michels Gym building drinking brewing.😅 Did you know Rod Strickland's moves inspired the Washington Bullets at the time to change their logo and name to the Wizards?...if you look at the Wizards logo from the time it was changed in 1997 to 2015, Rod Strickland is the Wizards logo...not too many people know about that. Also, HOF referee Hugh Evans is from Mitchels Houses in the BX...he worked at Mitchels Gym.🏀

[@jaleelmuhammad2222]

@@ARMAGEDDON240BX , Rodney Strickland was a treasure to watch. He was my favorite from the time he came to Chicago for college at De Paul. I would bump into him on the L train occasionally. I've driven past the Mitchell Houses last year year just to see where my man came from. Hugh Hollins screwed my Bulls over in 1994 playoffs against the Knicks with a B.S. call on Pippen. Now it all makes sense!! You stay strong 💪 my brother!! Peace and love!

[@blackghanistant.v.456]

Rod was from Patterson pjs💯

[@ThaClancyFam2]

That first layup by Rod was insane

[@wannabegolfin24-72]

The defender was so confused

[@robertosantiago5349]

Rod said it. He said Dedric was a finisher just like him. He also said Dedric Irving was more of a scorer like Kyrie. Rod said they were similar finishers at the rim. I was Always a fan if Strickland since I was 12.

[@kirbyaugustine761]

Yoooo Rod jellied the ball from behind the defenders back. Bananas

[@JD37]

The unblockable layup package.

[@NormaHernandez-wz7mk]

Rod is so fresh ❤

[@dun239america9]

Well put together video 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@almcdaniel1035]

Music is perfect

[@jasonwilliams7966]

Where I'm from we used to call reverse layups or acrobatic layups Rod Strickland layups........I think I've said enough

[@r.s.marcus3043]

Rod Strickland was the best Knicks guard of his day. Too bad The Knicks couldn't realize that. They might have reached higher heights.

[@Isaac_k3]

Bro it’s like Kyrie shaped his game off if Strickland

[@antoniovega1397]

That’s his godfather.

[@Drogas3653]

He did, Rod trained him

[@Simon_Sez]

“Like Father, Like Son” Nice touch

[@SlimbyTheSillyGoose]

Damn this is good

[@michaelcambridge1542]

Hot Rod!! NYC Bronx playground legend.

[@dun239america9]

I watched this like 15times straight

[@HeathOverledger]

Classic east coast razzle dazzle, you could even say like Godfather like Godson

[@BobSmith-rl5xi]

Fantastic edit. Need more like this

[@thomascarmona]

Great layup package. I loved watching that dude. So under-appreciated.

[@roddrickd.haynes2801]

Kyrie is on another level…

[@ruh-ul-qudussaid8446]

Rod Strickland is the blueprint for kyrie.I'm surprised more of you so called basketball aficionados aren't more knowledgeable about him, what else do you non-experts don't know 😂

[@tyjevans223]

Like godfather like godson

[@beardgang2065]

Definitely his God Father. Games are very similar.

[@marcusewillams9172]

Sugar what we use to call em cuz everything he did was so sweet.. these yungstas will never know how cold dude was. Taught kyrie his layup package😂

[@brianlongley9624]

What’s amazing about Strick, he’d drive the paint and go in amongst all the trees and you never knew how that shot was coming out , you’d swear it’s getting blocked but like some kind of wizardry he would always make it. Legendary

[@jamaalhorton2343]

They looked exactly alike!!

[@igetbucketz]

🤯Same tho lit🔥

[@Metromania2022]

A lot of LeBron fans over Jordan say that the 90s players were no good overall. This video plus many others like Mark Price, Glenn Robinson etc

[@ST-gh8zd]

Rod was slick but Kyrie is incredible. He prolly does not have as much mental toughness as Rod. Both great to watch.

[@JMlorenzo2597]

Hot Rod

[@lembk]

That’s his godfather

[@Anfwon]

Love this channel

[@HampETX903]

Still living big toni

[@VinoBadazz]

Naw rod Strickland is a plumber according to modern day fans because he played in the 90s

[@CheNava1]

That's his godfather that's where he got it from

[@gabrielsmith5610]

Kyrie all day

[@SAYLESSPODCASTwDKWEBB]

Learned from his godfather

[@brucieb718]

What song is this can’t remember

[@godthesonhasilluminatedme]

Game: like father like son

[@brich9070]

What's the name of that beat?

[@herrojason]

like father like son by the game.

[@SnowNasty]

The Game - Like Father, Like Son... but also give Fabolous - Riesling and Rolling Papers a listen too

[@KIVIE.]

my dad says he use to give jordan da business

[@lamarrscates7306]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@cardosct24]

all facts

[@abiyahuyasharal5570]

And they say the 90s didn’t have any “skilled” players……yeah ok

[@285dwhite]

And it is said that Michael Jordan did not play against skilled players or that he played against plumbers, well rod Strickland is highly skilled and definitely not a plumber.

[@byronroberts2471]

Too much a like kyrie studied well

[@wearehumans1693]

He's a plumber, he's from the 90s

[@Deined]

Someone please explain to me why Kyrie's considered by some to be the most "skilled" baller ever? From the look of things, the only thing he seems to have over his mentor Rod is range on his jumper, and as skilled as Rod was, I never really heard anyone call him among even the most skilled of his peers.

[@jacksavage279]

🤔

[@paulgeorge9228]

imo kyrie has better english

[@dun239america9]

This video is just as UNDERRATED as ROD STRICKLAND

[@duMaurier15]

Rod wasnt that good.. He has 0 rings and 0 Conference Finals Appearance, 0 All Star, 1 All Second NBA, Average to Below Off and Def. Rating, below .. and been on like 20 NBA teams.. Go back to watching only NBA highlights, kid.
