The INSPIRING Story Of Kevon Looney

[@HoopReports]

What would Kevon Looney have become if not for his injuries?

[@jtiwna2]

A little worse than now, my opinion

[@ryuuakito]

Kevon Looney is one of my favorite Warriors players simply because he is willing to adapt to any situation he is placed in. His injury experience definitely shows that. He has always proven himself as being reliable for the team, and I honestly love it whenever he's on the floor.

[@Raquionowensishim]

Same

[@crispinabendol7321]

saaaameee

[@9some]

and he's fearless

[@michaelperry9430]

He might get the ball swatted back in his face but he doesn’t give up.

[@sawssman965]

And don't forget his humility. Such a slept on trait.

[@ninjacow]

Hip surgery on BOTH sides of his hips, post-surgery complications, AND nerve issues (neuropathy) where he experienced numbness in his hands, wrist, feet, and hamstring. He went from a 5-star unicorn prospect with a jumper to losing a ton of mobility. And he STILL is a very capable switching big on defense, bodying up against beasts like Embiid and holding-up (as much as a center can) against CP3 and Harden in their Rocket's era. This man is grit and determination. He took everything life threw at him on the chin and kept on grinding. There are so many centers in the league that are stronger, more mobile, more explosive and yet Looney still found his place. Proof that smart basketball is winning basketball. Looney is an important part of the Dubs success this year, even if most people don't recognize it. (Also 18 rebounds against the young, athletic, and LONG Cleveland Cavs!!!)

ON POINT BRUH!

[@hungryalien]

Well said!

And he’s only 6’9”. He’s outsized about every game.

[@Urgelt]

It's great to see Looney getting some attention here. He's an excellent player on a team-friendly contract, doing everything the Warriors need him to do and more. His consistently excellent plus-minus is not a fluke.

[@ccengineer5902]

That's why I love this GSW team. They have the professionalism and ethics to bring out the best in people. Gary Payton Jr, Wiggins, Iguodala, Livingston, Otto Porter Jr....they all have journeyman stories, and playing their best game at GSW.

[@jameshollister8294]

Wiggins just went to Gs what his journey man storie

[@stevenielsen3]

Thanks for this insight! Hopefully more people will see how underrated he is. It took me a few years to recognize what he brings each night. This year is his best so far.

[@jojetparedes4024]

Looney has somehow mastered the art of screening for his team mates, specially for Steph. Oftentimes, it really looks brutal for the opposition while he seems to make it look like just another casual switch. Also, I now see where his explosiveness comes from since he does show it from time to time and if not for the injury you just showed, he would have been a lot better. Then again, if he'd been a lot better when he entered the draft, Looney would not have been with the Dubs.

[@Richxwolf]

Looney may not be a Embiid, Ayton or even Drummond, but Looney is a key staple for the warriors. He really represents what it's like to out in the work and make something out of his role. He may not playmake, rebound all that or even score that much but his way of playing is something that shows how the dubs develop. Looney is easily one of my favorite og warriors left. Hope he a dub for life.

[@Rebel-eq7ul]

I Mean he’s better than Drummond. Can defend 1-5 way better, and requires a smaller bag

[@Richxwolf]

@@Rebel-eq7ul 👍🏽

[@kasimshaikh3750]

He can rebound.....he was special in game 6 today.

[@genaldgalang5990]

As a Warriors FAN ! I really love this man, he had a huge impact in warriors and he knows his role that makes easy for the team to play basketball.

[@AninoNiKugi]

I had no idea that Kevon played like that before seeing how he moves now. It's a really sad story but a very inspirational one. He does his job and plays his role well and that's the most important thing in basketball.

[@chasepalumbo2929]

He totally deserves his shine

[@aros007z]

Plus he’s working asthma…incredible!

[@czechraiser]

I love Looney, a critical Warrior who does everything other than score with ease. He is unselfish and critical to what the Warriors do. His defense is special.

[@chitotorres1804]

Kevon on detroit game today, 0 pt. 10 reb. 3 ast. He just doing his job get the boards and defend the ring. Let steph, klay, wiggs and poole scores. 👏

[@kevinmamforte164]

He really do his role: basic out, under the basket shot and rebound, tough follow up, great timing and posiitioning on the paint.

[@Seertagg]

that's why I say that we need to vote him for allstar...... he is so underrated guys

[@dporter9747]

lmao

[@lapx1]

Yes! I was hard on him until realizing HIP injuries. That's no joke. Very happy for him. Hope he gets a big contract.

[@Th3WhiteNoise]

Kevon Looney is what they call a prototypical Professional Ballplayer. He'll literally run through the wall if Steve Kerr asked for it.

[@RRNumber4]

S/o to Looney Hes tough gritt and chill glad to have him and will love to keep him

[@wyatt_the_rat6710]

I think kevon Looney is underated.

[@Warriors30170]

For sure

[@sarwozenpikir]

100%

[@Raquionowensishim]

He always Ben one of my favorite warrior

[@Tash30]

After learning his story I even love looney more 💜💜 and he's been fantastic this season 🔥

[@kanyesairpods2518]

Yo great video man! Love these types of videos, keep up the great work man!

[@MaoSeraphine]

When you learn Kevon's older brother is named Kevin you realise their parents only intended to have 1 child and then they didn't had a name prepared for the second one

[@红色杰弗雷德]

my name is Jeffred and my older brother is Jeffrey

[@mrromeoatis]

I like your content. Informative and Inspirational at the same time. Continue what you're doing. You're great!

[@bricknell1820]

This guy is crucial for rebs n screens, is a key in dubs wins

[@carolmiller5713]

Looks like some of the clips are actually Kevin, not Kevon like @2:35. At any rate Looney is one of the "quiet guys" on Warriors. Always in the scrum at the rim and very likely to come out with the ball, shot at the FT or jump. He's on my All Star list! Hope he stays healthy cuz we really need him!

[@davon_DaGod]

Same player, he changed his game due to injury… comparisons to Kevin Durant

[@DogSoldier64]

I LOVE Looney,..we are sooooo lucky to have him. He fits that old school saying about the player that just goes quietly about his job bringing his lunch box to ever game. So smart and you can tell his teammates love him too

[@tylerstinson1807]

Thank you for your video. I agree. Always loved Looney!

[@mikkelinho]

Best video on KZbin, this man needs more love!

[@hungryalien]

Thank you for the recognition for looney!

[@skl5838]

Thank you for this video. Loon is for me a pillar in the Warriors' roster. He doesn't try to be a star, and it's his steady play that has made him so dependable and efficient. And he works on improving and staying healthy all the time. And his humility and response to adversity is what makes him a real diamond...

[@kulotskiee3257]

he did great tonight vs Mavs! 🔥

[@nicolo7507]

Who’s here after last nights game where Kevon turned into Robert parish

[@camarena555]

Looney deserves to start even when Wiseman comes back. The young man needs to earn it or play alongside Looney. They gotta make room. Loon is a beast and come playoff time he will show it.

[@rogercox990]

Glad u spoke about looney he gud player,can't wait Wiseman come bak also get that height under rim

[@itsmordecai05]

In every warriors game I feel like he was holding himself back, so thats the reason

[@axelgiosido4997]

Im here because when I saw a video of current warriors players first bucket, I was shocked that Kevon made that crossover and jumpshot and I said, "HE CAN DO THAT?" Because I see him as a blue collared banger inside the paint. But when I watched his highlights before, he really was a unicorn and I was thinking, why aren't the dubs utilizing this kind of player and why did they turn him into a Center. And when I found this video I realized, damn those injuries but Im glad that he is a warrior. Kudos to Kevon for adjusting his game. His injury was a blessing in disguise after all!

[@Oir07]

We’re really Proud of him here in Milwaukee! He plays his role does what needs to be done. Jessie the other day he had about 22 rebounds

[@herbhealsus]

Bruh. Looney should get a statue outside of chase center. This man is a true warriors

[@da1uheardabt]

A Hamilton legend. It's crazy I used to bump into this guy on accident in the crowded halls of Hamilton on a daily basis, now he's a veteran role player who is criminally underrated for what he does.

[@gloryforpurpose]

Sure he is really underrated for all his hard work! Little things do matter a lot. He's amazing and he's so peaceful

[@fullyrilla9487]

Respect for this he'd always left out of every thing but we dubs love him

[@juanlazy1398]

Look at Looney tunes so inspirational 🔥💯

[@glenmarkgregorio8167]

One of the most important Dubs rim defenders💪🙂👍

[@earlismarks7108]

This video is so dope...real talk...aka facts!

[@OJ.Thomas]

I was wondering when you were going to make this video on this guy.

[@zichaelmjoseph2864]

1 word: Finally!!

[@kendread]

Yeah, and after all those screens he set for Steph over the years, I think he definitely deserved one of those Rolexes Steph was giving out when he broke the 3 point record. IJS

[@jonathanmendosa9023]

Finally some appreciation for my boii

[@evingrindle1929]

I would say that Looney is top 3 most important players for the Warriors. 1. Curry 2. Draymond 3. Looney Looney is responsible for what I would say 40-50% of Steph’s open looks. His screener IQ and even passing gets better each day and he’s also one of the best rebounders and defenders in the league. Coming from a Wizards fan.

[@sarwozenpikir]

he is underrated fr

[@eloainesantos538]

I love Looney, he is part of this champion team

[@soul4real620]

Looney is a gun and most definitely underrated

[@詹文杰-n4f]

Mr Looney, good job！！

[@Sueychoppa]

Looney is clutch!!. Im talking about the last 5 min of the 4th and throughout the entire game. He may not take the last shot intentionally but those clutch put-backs and rebounds keep the dubs on top for sure!

[@petermeylink8923]

Kevin Looney is really my hero. I would really love to be 6 foot 9 inches tall myself just like Kevin Grant Looney. Oh yeah brother.

[@randomthoughts9397]

Kevon is Special !! a Selfless person always Sacrifices !! always works hard in silence !!

[@thetwoboyz4542]

Just had another big game against the spurs. Loon has always been underrated.

[@AidanWoitowicz]

I love looney such a good rebounder and the warriors can’t win without him

[@onthecomeupYT]

I’m ready to be inspired

[@dailykicks9284]

One of the quietest players in the league this man can’t be hated

[@neiljosephsampaga4946]

Simple and powerful adapt to step

[@warriorsdynastypart275]

He was a beast tonight against Houston

[@jessISaRicePrincess]

Kevin looney is probably thankful that he is on a team that polishes diamonds in the rough. And damn he's not KAT, Giannis, Embiid, or Jocic offensively but damn he's a good center and team player can bang out defensively with the best of them

[@spacejamgaming]

Looney!!! ❤️

[@earnestaguilar4665]

His screens are so solid. High IQ and can guard the perimeter.

[@janicelgo4522]

Remember in the rocket vs warriors series in 2018 looney just straight up outplay capella

Love Looney toon

[@miko_28]

I think kevon Lonny is one of the best team player. I can say that that he is the unknown soldier in the warriors team.

[@jackoneill8654]

This season Looney is MVP, yes a different king of MVP but where would the Ws be without him?

[@ひかり-n6v]

definitely underrated

[@camlamhamsam3106]

I thought I was the only one who thought Kevon was underrated

[@iamtheonlywilly]

Okay the hip injury explains a lot. Good for the big man for adjusting his game. Had it not been for that he probably would be a KD type of player in his own way.

[@Ice12536]

Kevon looney is in my top 3 favorite players on the warriors

[@teddyhartono6618]

Kevan Looney is Black Panther with his claws to rebound...Warriors game 6 vs Memphis 2022 is The Proof of it 🌚🔥🔥🔥

[@poy3309]

I thought he's old my guy is only 26 🤣

[@TheMarc477]

You made this 4 month’s ago and today looney proved himself against the mavs

[@keli4775]

Before he injury, Looney called NEXT KD...

[@marnelvalvaliente9620]

I think the warriors should unleashed the talent of looney

[@VegasVaron]

Looney is truly underrated.

[@escoofimpakt]

Before Looney got hurt his game allot like lamarcus Aldridge but Looney changed his game to fit the warriors

[@Rebel-eq7ul]

Looney would be a starter on 20 teams in the league

[@twothbeave]

Dude you called it! Was incredible in the Playoffs. Still didn’t get enough credit for his contribution in getting the forth chip. Hope we resigns!!! Crazy he looked like he was 40 years old in HS. 😅 What happened to all that outside shooting.

[@erik_chem]

i think they resign him!!!

[@Richxwolf]

Should do a vid on KAT, he reacts to youtube, he might give you that clout my guy.

[@alforeman3297]

Dubs don't win the championship without Looney's rebounds this year! He did his job. Congrats!
