I keep telling people the true goats are Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant , and Earl Manigault.

What if I told you I’ve definitely heard of him? Would you re title your video?

That would be Joe the destroyer Hammond more than even the goat Earl had a game against Joe where he handed Joe the torch as the goat Also the goat never snatched top of the backboard tho he was still great and could get close JUMPIN Jackie Jackson is the only one who could get the top tho. Earl admitted this even in an interview you can still find Jackie could swipe the top of the backboard too. Highest jumper in human history. Not as good of a player tho not even close to Earl Earl was Fosho among the best ever Joe is hands down the greatest. Y’all need to do a video on him just like this

4:03 I didn't know Darryl Jenks (Coming to America) played basketball. Cool!

Earl MANIGAULT was the number one Street legend, ANYWHERE!!! MJ nor Magic could ever beat him, one on one!!! It was TOO MANY GUYS BACK THEN THAT WERE TRULLY GREAT IN THE STEEETS!!! AND I'M ONE OF THEM!!! Earl #1 i call him, could soar over any player he wanted too!! Plus he didn't NEED A RUNNING START TO DUNK OVER ANYONE!!! Yes,he could shoot and defend and all else!!! He could easily get to the top of the backboard!!! He could soar!!!!! Drugs brought him down and keeping bad company!!! I accosted him on 8th ave in HARLEM,all strung out and asked, him why?? Why was he destroying himself!!!! Earl of ElBarrio,NYC,NY. 6/8/24

The Fly gos on offense and defense foot steps by Dr.J and he gets the run of his ball play when readt and open. Said "Beavis and Buthead" or "Siskel or Ted" or its Senior "Senor" Biff or Hombre . But he gets open on a good way but not to close to soon with "The Fly" and like with a little Ziggy....or no ziggy moments of Health.

Yes today is MJ who plays along Pippen and Cylde on another team but James "Fly" plays in a earlier years before or the 70's mostly during his youth adult prime-times and Dr.J too but for the ABA and NBA but it shows both on their move and run byt Dr.J has the ball and got his run move open to the basket while "The Fly" had been aside on his turn around foot run or step by a little tyrn aside towards where Dr.J had left by already of his own run from being open enough soon too but the "Fly" kept on his site a little to him running ahead by one play .

Is this the guy they say blocked Wilt’s fade away and made him enter beast mode? Yeah…the street basketball guy Is it him??

Eh

Shaq couldn't play 48+ mins like wilt

1:40 he was trying to make that but felt a certain way when he didn’t then the HALF COURT ALLEY-OOP came!! 👀

Heard of him Big time jumped over car

I love Kobe, but the narrative he tried to create about what happened from 99-04 is garbage; lakers didn’t win til Phil Jackson showed up and built the triangle offense around Shaq, because Shaq was the better player then, by far; Shaq won 3 straight finals mvps, a league mvp and a scoring title while Kobe won nothing except in every playoffs from 01-04 Kobe attempted more shots than Shaq to the dismay of Phil Jackson; but Shaq was still the lakers leading scorer every year they won rings from 99-02; in 03 playoffs and 04 playoffs kobe increased his fga over shaqs by astronomical amounts and Kobe became the leading scorer, by like 1ppg, but the lakers lost; Kobe said the triangle offense was “holding him back”, he got rape charge, Phil Jackson left, and Kobe didn’t get past the first round for 3 years; Phil returns brings back triangle offense “expert” Derek Fisher to run the triangle and smart euro player gasol, and other rebounders to make up for Kobe’s high amounts of missed shots as Phil and Tex build a new triangle around kobe who ends up with two rings in the triangle offense he claimed was holding him back in 04; The league and Kobe try to push the “Kobe’s chasing jordan” thing, so the narrative about what happened from 03-04 is constantly put out about “shaqs work ethic” hoping you’ll forget and just blindly go with the “5 rings” narrative; Kobe is a top great with bird and magic; but he has 2 finals mvps; he was the best player in a finals 2 times; 2 less than Lebron, and 4 less than jordan;

He would have been one of only two guys in history along with Jordan to ever win 3 straight finals mvps……oh wait

A lot of great players can't achieve a 2.0 GPA to play on the high school team.

This guy was overrated because there’s no footage of him because that wasn’t him catching that alley you from half court that was Dr. Jay…….. talking like this guy can fly and I never seen one dunk of him flying except in the movie theater

He was obviously very good but the double dunk sucks. They just hang on the rim a lil bit. He obviously wasn’t touching 13ft

The greatest basketball player of all time? He never made an NBA or ABA roster, and rarely played in college. That doesn't sound like Michael Jordan to me. And there are A bunch of "greatest" playground players of all time. Depending on who you ask.

Relax

I grew up with a guy named Sammy Chu, only 5-6" but he can dunk it from the free throw line as well as shooting using both his left and right hand, he's the goat, no doubt about it. No video to show, but trust me!

THIS WAS NOT TRUE GOAT WAS A LEAPER BUT THE TOP OF “THE BACKBOARD COIN SNATCHER” WAS JUMPIN JACKIE JACKIE JACKSON

I was raised in harlem almost 40 years now granted earl was one of the best street ball players ever. I spoke earl before he passed away and he told their was nobody in harlem,the bronx or brooklyn that could stop joe hammond. This came out of earls mouth.

Amazing how u highlight the bucks made Kareem a millionaire but not what he went thru with the bucks to get that million, the hate the racism etc, dealing with that bs he should of gotten more

Cannabis is not a Drug !! But sugar is !! Very ignorant to call medicinal herbs drugs... !!! IT WAS THE HEROINE NOT THE WEED THAT MESSED HIM UP ...

Bumpy Johnson

Who noticed Eric LaSalle the actor in the yellow shirt..

“For shmoking marijuana” 🤣

Younger people probably never heard of him but most people know exactly who he is

Met earl in the early 90s at Rucker truly inspired others coming out of NY

This is all fine and good and I'm not trying to disrespect anyone by saying this. But to become "the best" in any sport, you have to prove yourself by competing against the best again and again and again. And in basketball, realistically, I don't see how you do that outside of playing in the NBA for an extended period of time. Just my personal opinion, nothing more.

These stories are all too common. I am convinced the best players never played in the NBA. With racist coaches, ghetto stressors such as upbringing, grades, parental guidance , drugs and prison so many great athletes fell through the cracks.

They say Earl was the greatest but some say Pee Wee Kirkland was the man.

You've got the title right but the answer to the question is Connie Hawkins

For every micheal jordan, theres a earl manigualt... great quote. Basketball is not everything, if you cant excel on the court, find another passion. Get a job but dont become complacement. Thats what they (society) wants you to do. I'm a fan of basketball, I dont allow it to dictate my happiness. Everyone wants to be micheal jordan, i just want to be Ke'esh mitchell; excel in life, not just a basketball court.

I think there is a pretty strong consensus that Joe "The Destroyer" Hammond. Ages ago ESPN in around 1980 televised a lot of the Rucker Park games, and I got to see Hammond score an incredibly nasty 72 points. Like Manigault he had problems with drugs, and in fact turned down an opportunity to sign a contract with the LA Lakers around 1972. They were going to sign him without ever seeing him play, either in person or on film. Wilt had played some pck up games with Hammond and the LAKER FRONT OFFICE that he had just seen the most talented player he'd ever seen. He had a number of legendary games, but the wildest was missing the first half of a game, only to show up for the second half, in which he scored 50 points against Dr. J. But Hammond was making so much money selling drugs he wasn't interested in playing basketball professionally. So while I think Hammond would probably get voted the #1 street player of all time, Manigault is in in the top three, along with Hammond and Herman "Helicopter" Knowings. He got the nickname from the way he would wave his bizarrely long arms around. Bernard King said Knowings was the greatest leaper he ever saw, and watched him in person do the dollar in change trick off the top of the back board. I think, though I could be wrong about whether or not this is still the case, Hammond is the only street player to be the subject of an advertising campaign by a major athletic shoe company. I don't remember which company (Nike, maybe?), but I remember the really cool T-shirts they had at the time, which merely had a photo of Hammond jumping up, with the words alongside the image reading merely, "The Destroyer." I'll have to check out the movie with Don Cheadle.

I once scored 175 points in a HS basketball game. That was only in a half too, because I left to go play football where I passed for 500 yards, 10 td, ran for 6 tds.

No way anybody can touch the top of the backboard…..that’s why video of that doesn’t exist

Knew who it was before I clicked. 👍🏾

There is no GOAT in basketball or any team game. Maybe a GOAT in a certain position yes. You want GOAT? Go to a track meet😊

Any true basketball fan knows the Earl Manigault story!

Don’t talk to me about somebody being the GOAT when they ain’t even play on a professional level and couldn’t even play in College

How stupid

Jumping higher than everyone else doesn't make you the goat.

His story still breaks my heart and makes me wonder,'What if?' Drug addiction is a powerful disease.

nah Lin Bias is the greatest.

Drugs will bring you down to the pit. Wages of sin is death. But the free gift from God is eternal life through Jesus Christ! Hallelujah.

Sounds like an absolute waste of talent. You can have all the skills in the world ! It’s the mind set that’s the hardest to conquer!

They made a movie about him

he was a dope fiend that died from drugs.
