Before injuries, Mark Price was just a bad man... One of the greatest pure shooters, had handles and flair, was agile, could take it to the cup, high IQ player, great passer, very tough and gritty, split the pick like no other... One of the best PG’s.
At the same level as John Stockton! Why Mark Price is so underrated player? Price was a better shooter and scorer and Stockton a better passer and stealer!
He was way better than White Chocolate though Jason Williams had a inconsistent jumper an average inside game and was a shitty defender he was more flashy and entertaining than he was a seriously good ass player like Mark Price is dude made all nba first team
There was really nothing White Chocolate 🍫 about his game. The first white boy to really have that kind of playground/ Globetrotter style was Pistol Pete Maravich.
I'm trying to think of a current player that is a good comparison... Maybe Garland or Pritchard? I never watched Mark price play but those are two that come to mind based on these highlights
Mark Price is still loved by Clevelanders. I would take him as my starting point guard even in today's NBA. He brought all the intangibles and was dynamite from behond the arc. Legendary!
Needs to be in the Hall. Sharp-shooter, best free-throw percentage, quick, pristine passing, and that hesi dribble-drive was nice! Peeps gotta lobby for this man to be in the HoF💯
Price is so underrated. A lot of his opponents and teammates, like Steve Kerr and Isiah Thomas stated how difficult he was to guard, even at times unstoppable. Hopefully he gets selected to the HOF soon.
@@TellenJonesi feel that would be more Reggie Miller, at least purely on 3 point volume and play style. i always saw steph as more of a hybrid point-shooting guard. mark price isn’t a bad comparison at all he’s a dog
Mark Price is the least famous member of the 50-40-90 club, but with slightly better % averages than the other members. Why do you think a player with such skill and finesse slipped through the cracks? It's rare that you hear this guy's name being mentioned. This channel is fire btw, I'm loving these career mixtapes. Hip-Hop fits with basketball highlights so smoothly.
Because his teams could never get over the mountain that was Jordan and the Bulls. Cavs, of that era are remembered more for the shot than their own individual achievements. Which sucks but I think it's that and the fact that he played in Cleveland a smaller market that usually gets no national respect.
One of the most underrated Point Guards that ever lived. Super skilled, razzle dazzle, high iq and one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen.
Mark Price= the great underrated (I still don't understand why). He was a Jason Williams from the 80's (but he 's the first one without a question....)
Watching him in person, his motor is really what differentiated him. From that, his court awareness, and of course his shooting made him one of the best point guards in the NBA.
He was so quick. People don't realize it. You don't become.a star PG at Ga Tech, especially back then, and one of the best point guards in the ACC back when most of the best guards were coming out of that conference, without having a "motor," as you put it.
Nice highlights of NBA basketball player Mark Price for my hometown Cleveland Cavs. I like Mark basketball teammates Brad Daugherty, Ron Harper, Larry Nance, John Williams(RIP). Cleveland should've kept Mark Price until he retired. Mark Price, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp are my favorite NBA players.
Better offensively than Stockton? It's close, but Stockton's the greatest pure passer that ever lived. Price was a purer shooter, and a good passer, but the 15 assists per game that Stockton averaged at his apex, is a lot of offense to offset.
Yeah, cause the only thing Price was really better at than Stockton from a statistical standpoint was free throw & 3-point shooting. I'd say Price was a tad quicker too, but even Price wasn't particularly explosive. They both were your prototypical white point guard who ran the pick-&-role tenaciously, liked to pass, who could be physically man-handled by bigger, stronger, more physical, more athletic black guards if not babied by the officials.
@@arsonhakobyan "who could be physically man-handled by bigger, stronger, more physical, more athletic black guards if not babied by the officials." - Lol. anybody could be man-handled by a bigger stronger player :D . Isiah Thomas was man-handled all the time, that's why he never really made layups and played so dirty. Not to mentioned hide behind Rodman, Laimbeer, Sally and Mahorn.
@@Durante_di_Alighiero But Isiah Thomas was explosive enough to beat the bigger more physical guard of the dribble against a hand-check most the time, to then draw fouls on bigs, find the open man or finish an uncontested layup when neither the big man steps up, nor the defense collapses. I'm not trying to be so politically correct, just accurate. Usually bigger guards would pick up cheap fouls guarding someone like a Stockton or Price, which was why opposing coaches were reluctant to use their bigger guards on them defensively when the refs were calling it close. In a more physical game, that strategy had some success. Stockton & Price were also feisty enough to cause contact that would get them the cheap whistle when they had a lot of body to work w/, and the refs were hand-check whistle happy. I'm not looking at just skin color, or I'd be including Jason White Chocolate Williams, Bobby Sura, John Paxson, Pete Maravich or other white point guards into this conversation, but they all play a vastly differently style from what I'm talking about here, and part of it is cause their individual genetics are different, so the schemes they fit into are different. I'm not saying that all black point guards play 1 way either, but there are some general discrepancies. There are general discrepancies between how blondes & brunettes play.
My MJ! Everyone saying they wanna be like Mike, I was that one kid singing I wanna be, I wanna be like Mark! Still stand by it. If he played in today’s game, he’d be mentioned in the same breath as Curry.
Signature move-splitting the double team at the top of the key. He probably had 2-3 more prime years but the knee injury limited him to about 70% of his best. A smaller player can't lose much before a reduction in effectiveness. Probably a HOFer without the injury.
One of the few guards from the 80’s / 90’s that would actually be even better in the modern era than they were in their day. Price would be the perfect type of PG in a game with more space and that put a higher value on volume 3P shooting.
It's so crazy because if you weren't watching ball around the time that Mark price was playing you wouldn't even know his name. I used to love watching this guy play even though I hated the Cavs with a passion. He gave Jordan a run for his money too
guy was insane.......super underrated. In todays NBA he would be a killer with no hand checking, deadly 3 pt shooting off pick and rolls, and could also go to the rim at only 6 foot....

90's great players are always have less and unnecessary moves to their game..... Like what kevin durant said about MJ.... And also they have quick first step to get by any defenders.....
Mark Price was a complete guard; he could shoot the lights out, 90% at the line; 3-point range; tough-minded; great penetrating off the dribble and creating open shots -- he just had a soft front court in Cleveland but could hold his own vs. Isiah Thomas, Dennis Johnson, beat out Kevin Johnson for the starting job in Cleveland which is why they traded KJ to Phoenix for Larry Nance; could own Doc Rivers, definately a better guard than Doc Rivers; just as good as Tim Hardaway, John Stockton, and Gary Payton... the man had a knee injury in 1990-91 which held him back but he could do his thing in any situation possible and proved it in Golden State -- he could just play well, all the time. Mark Price and Dell Curry prove that Steph Curry could have played during that era.
How do Jerry West & Danny Ainge make this list? I understand Bob Cousy & John Stockton. Ainge & West were mainly shooting guards, not true point guards.
If Mo Cheeks got in then so should Price! I think eventually he will get the call since it is a no brainer that Price was a better overall player than Cheeks.

Spot on assessment of the player. Tremendously underrated.
At the same level as John Stockton! Why Mark Price is so underrated player? Price was a better shooter and scorer and Stockton a better passer and stealer!
This a Cavs fan who watched him when he played agrees!
@jtreynol Certainly was at a higher level than Stockton...
@jtreynol I remember him ALWAYS schooling Stockton...I thought he was better and I think Stockton was overrated a bit
For me Mark Price was the original white chocolate truly one of the greatest and most underrated players ever in NBA history
Declan Pritchard #facts💯 dude had finesse and style on the court! Great shooter too!
He was way better than White Chocolate though Jason Williams had a inconsistent jumper an average inside game and was a shitty defender he was more flashy and entertaining than he was a seriously good ass player like Mark Price is dude made all nba first team
Mark price and Steve Nash just play similar to each other both lead 50-40-90 club
There was really nothing White Chocolate 🍫 about his game. The first white boy to really have that kind of playground/ Globetrotter style was Pistol Pete Maravich.
The original Steve Nash
Watching this in 2024... Mark Price could have absolutely played in today's NBA. Would easily average 20 and 10
he would average 50/40/90 every season and laugh
I'm trying to think of a current player that is a good comparison... Maybe Garland or Pritchard? I never watched Mark price play but those are two that come to mind based on these highlights

Mark Price would be top 3 point guard in today's NBA:
He had a modern skill-set.
Always LOVED his game.
Cleveland fan here. Truly a great one. Remember those days.
One of the purest point guards to ever play in the NBA. Even Isaiah Thomas said between 1988 and 1990 he was the best point guard in the NBA.
Over him and magic naw that’s big cap
He NEVER said he was THE best 😆. ONE of the best.
He was the best
Dope! One of the most underrated PG’s of the 90’s
Of all times
THANK YOU for this! This man in his prime was a top-5 PG in the league.
Top couple more like it

Mark Price in todays NBA is a MVP 😊
He would be an even bigger star in today’s league undoubtably. I love my Cavs.
no doubt....deadly 3 pt shooter with even more range in todays game, but he could blow by and get to the cup finish or drop dimes too.....
Man easily...
Remember watching him play. But I forgot how good he was.
This dude would be even better today
90's ball was just amazing
I remember when Mark Price juked the hell out of Iverson, and I knew this kid was going to special. One of the most underrated players in NBA history;
LOL. You knew he was going to be special? He did it at the end of his career.
People who truly understand the game of basketball understand just how good this man was.
Plus, he is an okie, which means he is naturally awesome!
I feel as if he's the most underrated player of all times
Price was an elite point guard in a league loaded with generational talent at the point. Dude was insane
most underappreciated NBA player ever
He’s probably not a sellout
Was playing 2k today and used this guy for the first time. Green machine from deeeeeeeepppppp
One of the most underrated Point Guards that ever lived. Super skilled, razzle dazzle, high iq and one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen.
He’s like a Steve Nash mixed with Steve Kerr. Sprinkle of Tony Parker . Love it
Its crazy how quickly he can shift speeds. Like I know it dosen't look as fast as westbrooke or wall, but believe me man that white boy is flying
Man I forgot how good mark price was
My favourite player of all time
Forgot how good he was. Those Cavs teams were really tough.
Price is in the conversation for 🐐 shooter and was also a great ball handler and passer. Underrated for sure, victimized by injuries. Facts
You see Price in the NBA to this day whenever you watch Curry play.Curry is the modern Price.
Mahmoud abdul rauf was another type of curry like player in the 90s
Mark Price basically invented the splitting of the defense at the top of the key. He was so good at it.

Whose the group and song name it sounds like a premo beat for sure
reed shepherd reincarnated
Mark price would put up Trae young like numbers in today’s nba
Looks like mark price was a nightmare to guard. 😳
Great Mix.
Before steph curry we had mark price
Fantastic shooter and competitor!
Moves like steph indeed .. thanks coach steve for mentioning this man . Greatest PG in his season probably
I can see some resemblance with Steph Curry, the way he finish and shot selection. It was like before Steph, there is Mark Price.
Mark price would fit in as a good back up point guard on a contender in today's league
We need Mark Price in attendance for Game 3 vs Boston.
Go Cavs!
He can also make success in nowadays NBA. Maybe more.
Great player, great mix. Anyone know this song? All I know is that’s a Premo beat.
Never mind. It’s Professor P Do or Don’t (Take a Pick)!!!
Favorite. Player. Ever. #salute #nodebate

Had an old head at the gym tell me I play and look like Mark Price today, after watching this I now know that was a compliment lol
His split shot is iconic! Such an efficient scorer. That Cavs team was lit in the 90s but that Chicago Bulls team were in their way
Reed Sheppard
Bad ass player back in the late 80S and early 90s.
He is the best I’ve ever seen play
mark price would be a superstar in today's nba man. he a baaaad man
I used to watch the nba back then too damn
The guy's court vision, situational awareness, and basketball IQ were through the roof!
If he would have ever made it to the finals, he would be much more popular. Better offensively than Stockton, and faster than Nash ever was.

Today is the white shark, but before there was a megalodon, today is curry but before there was Price.
