    Great player. Beat the best Lakers team of all time, and took the greatest Celtics team of all time to 6 games.
    Respect.

    If it wasn't for his injury he would have dominated in the NBA

      I was born in 1980 and grown up in Poland. I only heard about Twin Towers from Huston. Thanks to TH-cam I watched few games of them. Oh my! They were so good!
      Rockets would certainly dominate in the NBA with them

      You're right if he wasn't injured he would dominated the NBA with Hakeem!

    from Houston: Ralph is still loved in Houston. Winning that 1983 coin flip was very exciting for the city of Houston. Ralph, you are always welcomed in Houston. Wish you would come back more often.

      mlzrn I agree w/u 💯. True H-Town sports fans will NEVER forget that last second shot Sampson made to dethrone the defending champion Lakers in the 86 Western Conference Finals...🏀

    One of 2 pros I played against in high school ( Dell Curry the other ). Class act and genuinely nice guy. If not for knee injuries he would've dominated the NBA as well

    NBA rookie of the year, All star mvp and made the game winning buzzer beater to eliminate the Lakers in the western conference finals that put his team in the NBA finals against the Celtics in 1986.Sampson was on his way to greatness in the NBA!

    sad his injury stopped this great Cavalier from Virginia

    Seeing where he is and what he is doing today reinforces my decision in 1985 to buy his sneakers (PUMA) instead of a pair of Air Jordans.

    How come his sons went undrafted and they are centers too!

  • @gskessingerable
    @gskessingerable 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    His height was always exaggerated. He never was close to being 7'4. In his prime he was closer to 7'1.

    • @Belburg
      @Belburg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting, in the Capital Classic, him and Sam Bowie looked to be the exact same height.

      What damn difference does that makes stupid .

  • @jokerofmorocco
    @jokerofmorocco 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    No mention of his NBA career? Also I'm sure he did have regrets since him playing through injury and not getting it properly treated is what derailed his NBA career

    • @DAMONCAPRICORN
      @DAMONCAPRICORN 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      he should stay at center,he was shaq before shaq with 36 inch vertical

  • @juliant123
    @juliant123 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    if he had a better attitude more fundamentals and no injuries

    • @mdcool3487
      @mdcool3487 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stop hating and be happy.

    • @daveconleyportfolio5192
      @daveconleyportfolio5192 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      His fundamentals were excellent, and he was all about the team. A Player of the Year three seasons running has plenty of chances to leave early, but Sampson never did. You can argue that he shouldn't have indulged his midrange skills so much, but he worked hard to add muscle and his body was simply too spindly to take a pounding down low.

    Hof if he would have played full career 10 all stars atleast he had the talent and rockets would have won atleast 1 more title
