I'm sure this is most of ours first time hearing Rudy's voice 🤣🤣🤣
Mines
Definitely not . Most of us aren’t 14. Wtf 🤣
@@louieblalock7113 14??? Lmao
You never heard him talk in post games? Lol
Yep
Rudy gay and oj Mayo on 2k when I was kid won me so much money … too nice 🔥🔥🔥
Rudy gay was a cheat code
Like actual paper or 2k VC?

Well nobody was talking about it if it eas
Facts
Rudy Gay was so good at basketball nobody even stopped to make fun of his name.
No we're adults and not 6
@@tylito4764shiiiit I was 11 when he got drafted
Well there was a Meme in like 2012 with a couple wearing a Kevin love jersey & Rudy jersey 😂😂😂😂
Probably had rough childhood
@@user-ow7qv8nq6tunlocked a memory I completely forgot about 🤣
Rudy Gay chillin on that couch like he know he one of the best nba 2k players ever
Lmao nbs his mechanics in game was elite too even in 15
Kings finally had a good coach, Mike Malone, who had DeMarcus Cousins full attention, just for them to fire him when they played above expectations.
Why did they fire him tho it made no sense
@@liulbitew14 Mike Malone and Pete D had issues and when Kings had the short losing streak, that was their reason to get rid of Malone. Malone had Cousins, Gay and Thomas playing great basketball too.
Also, pretty sure part of the reason for that losing streak was Boogie having meningitis??? He and Malone had apparently built a relationship from team USA as well. Always seemed sorta wild to me that he got fired like that.
@@maglover1214That was the only reason. They were actually conspiring for a playoff sport before Boogie went down. He was like the only coach Boogie liked while in Sac and they got rid of him.
@liulbitew14 Techbro owner with new money complex hired a GM with stats don't lie complex who wanted his own coach who would try his retarded experiments on a team with chaotic personalities. Malone was the one coach who coached young men and had the GSW pedigree. That's why Vivek snatched him when taking over as the majority owner. Things have been much better since he stopped trying to run the damn team himself.
Rudy gay and Danny granger were some of my favorite underrated guys man
Granger had a 3 point shot too. Whatever happened to the kid
Bad Knees, bro was a killer though out there on the wing@@Foreign84
@@Foreign84 will always be one of the biggest 'what ifs' if he didnt have all those injuries.
@Foreign84 he had a drgrnerative knee condition
Rudy Gay is definitely not underrated
I've never heard one player say a good thing about George Karl.
whats gp or kemp say? id be interested in their take they had a good run until they met rodman lol
@@MikeHunt-fo3ow They couldn't stand him either.
@@MikeHunt-fo3owthey didn’t like him at all
Not one
Everybody cant b wrong
Rudy Gay funny as hell I didnt expect him to sound like that either.
You sound crazy
For real. Lol I thought he was a soft spoken dude but never heard his voice before lol
@@A1tone4no he doesn’t. most people have not heard his voice. he’s not a interview/ commercial guy
I think it’s the last name
He sounds like he from NY
@2:05 Melo: "Aye who Baked Potato Face?" Mero:
As a Kings fan and someone who lives here in Sac. I’m sorry for what we put you through. But we still love you for the time you were here and the highlights you gave us 😮💨
“You saw the highlights” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol seems like he wasn’t to fond playing with boogie
@@zz7917 at all, but he didn’t want to throw him under the bus lol
Add Rudy to the show!
I had no intention of watching this whole thing, but I found it so intriguing that I watched the whole thing anyway.
Same
"I said that in confidence" LOLOLOL I still got Rudy's King jersey, I still appreciate him trying to do something when the franchise was at the absolute bottom.
Not gonna lie, I was a big fan of him on Memphis but wasn't about to get a jersey with Gay on the back of it lmao. You're a braver person than me.
@@garretcamp9490 Dont worry, I definitely had buyers remorse at times lol but being a Kings fan from the bad years, to REAL BAD years you grab for any hope you can lol Rudy was good for us and I was sad when he tore his achilles.
Man Rudy jersey sales must’ve been ASS as hell his entire career
Nah that’s a AYO ahh jersey. Rudy was nice tho
2009-2013 was absolutely rock bottom for the Kings.
My first time hearing Rudy Gays’s voice 😂
I've literally never heard him talk before lol
Same.
Yup Ive never heard him speak
Word
Facts.
Rudy Gay scored the quietest 22-24 a game in NBA history. So effortless it seemed like he wasn’t even applying himself all the way- and he was still THAT good in the NBA. Even in college you would miss him ( the UConn team had 4 1st round picks in one year) and he would have 25 unforced in the flow of the game and the announcers would be like “Rudy needs to get more involved”
So true I think he was all star too
Couldn't agree more 💯 06 draft slept on. Him, Brandon Roy, Kyle Lowry, etc.
Ehh not really.
He was never an all star and never averaged 22 7 6 lmao. He averaged 22 6 4 and that’s rounding up 22 5 3. Not saying he wasn’t good but brings to a point of players fluffing up how they played back in the day.
@@user-ji2yw8wx3q 2014 ain’t back I the day lol. Rudy just coasted. Could have been an all star but just settled for being very good. Hall of Very Gooder- not Hall of Fame. Sad thing is he had Hall of Fame Talent. Because playing at 80% he was better than 95% of the people he faced. Just coasted on his talent, no killer instinct
Kings fan here. Malone was taking the team somewhere. Everyone bought in and Cuz respected and responded to Malone’s lead. Slowed us down. We were bout to be a savage half court team with Cuz as the anchor. Vivek didn’t like the slowed-down pace, but Malone was just taking advantage of the roster the best he could.
Agree, also worth mentioning that the year prior we had a team that had 3 players averaging 20+ plus points: IT, gay and boogie. Then that worm Pete delassandro decided to trade Isaiah for a bag of peanuts .
Vivek was trying to meddle too much in basketball ops. It was his veto power that got us nik stauskas. Mike Malone did a great job with that group but Vivek had such a hard on to be like the warriors he ordered delassandro to fire Malone.
@@gilbertj.quilatan8148 Bill Simmons calls it 'new owner syndrome' they always want to do something terrifically novel and a departure from what was built by someone else. Between his Hield remarks and his favoring Stauskus, building around those 3 would've been outdated to him.
Rudy gay was always a bucket for me in 2k I really hoped he woulda got a ring in the end
Maaaaaaaan he was my favorite player for like 6 games straight. He damn near was better than bron if you used him right
@@focusedwillis1245nah he was the best player in one 2k I think 2k13 him and Terrance Ross was a cheat code
Rudy's glasses are cold 🥶
As a Kings fan I remember Boogie and Rudy being my favorite players growing up. Obviously it was a dysfunctional organization, but I want to say thank you for giving me enjoyable moments growing up. Gay will always be a dawg in SacTown. Deserves way more respect
Sacramento fans love rudy!!
He was the man at UConn
He was a beast at UConn
That baked potato face joke was underrated 😂
Lol Never In My Life Would’ve Thought Rudy Gay Talked Like This 😂 I Thought Bro Had One Of Them Commentator Voices 😂
Why? Even w/o him being from the Bmore area
@@shehateme9955 he’s from Brooklyn
@@BlueStripzMusic thats crazy they were both born in Brooklyn. But raised & made their names in Baltimore. You dont hear them speaking on hooping in Bmore?
Melo ain’t the only crazy one I see 😭😭#brooklyn 💪🏾
Two Baltimore legends
Rudy gay never averaged 22, 7, and 6 😭
He was close tho 🤣🤣
20 6 3 was his peak is Sac haha
If he was getting 6 dimes his entire career woulda been different.
21,6,4(3.7) was his best year in Sacramento
Came here for this comment soon as I heard it. Lol
2013-15 kings was so underrated in 2k especially in 2k13 💯
2k Rudy Gay was OP 😂😂😂
They were dumb as. Hell for firing mike Malone. He had them going in the right direction
Dopest show out there …. 7pm Brooklyn 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
George Carl honestly would've had a great college coaching career. His ego combined with NBA players egos was always an issue.
Us Kings fans and appreciate you and love you for your time here Rudy Gay.
Rudy was a baller, loved him in Toronto
Super mid in Toronto..he was there for what? A week or two
@@alteration9992😂😂 faxx but as a kid i remember seeing bim hit game winners and getting (empty) stats, but looking back it was much more of a in the moment memory lol rudy is cool but he was much less impactful than it seemed
Nah man Rudy not lying when he say he have Sac his all he was hooping still fasho. Much respect 🫡 I’ll never forget seeing em at da chevron gas station by fam fit n saying wassup to em. He said wassup back but u could tell he was disgruntled n sick of my city 😂😂😂😂
*gave
#916
The Chevron in Natomas by fam fit and McDonald's?
Melo looked so vindicated "its not just me!!!"
As a kings fan, it hurts to relive these years.
Rudy is like Vince Carter in the since that he never FULLY reached his full potential… HE LITERALLY COULD DO IT ALL!!!
Him and OJ couldn’t get over the hump
Rudy Gay had the talent to be one of the best players in the league. Shame he never really had a good situation. I remember seeing him next to Kevin Durant, and it looked like he was just as tall. He was a baller
lol no
DC was a fucking beast. I wish him, D Rose, and T Mac never got injured. Would of loved to see their full potential.
CAN'T forget GHill.

@@allenthompson1068 yeah there's a few. Those were just the ones of the top of my head.
Shout out Rudy, his jump shot was the formula for most my blends in 2K
Rudy Gay was CRAZY on 2k!!! Memphis was my squad
Rudy was my favorite player from the time he entered the league. Those Memphis teams were tough. Mike, Oj, Rudy, Zach, Gasol, Tony Allen. That was my 2K squad 😎
And I’m a lifetime Lakers fan lol
"you saw the highlights" lol ; this segment sound like crip talk with all the cuzz
Cuz is short for cousins as in Demarcus cousins dingaling
@@Debitdeclined7”dingaling” I ain’t heard that in a min 😂
@@Debitdeclined7straight out the dictionary
One of my favorite players
Rudy needs to be on someone podcast definitely give chill vibes
My favorite basketball player been Rudy Gay forever. A 2k cheat code iykyk
RUDY & MELO ARE BASICALLY THE SAME DUDE
I forgot Rudy played for sac i remember Memphis and Spurs kevin martin was a beast
LIGHT THE BEAM RUDY.
Cousins was Jokic and they mishandled him 😩
Jokic a bit of a reach but he's KAT with tenacity and dawg mentality
@@Andre-ko7cohe was more athletic jokic. He could pass , score , rebound and shoot
Between the head intangibles.
Facts‼️‼️
Facts‼️‼️
I love basketball players who can go out and give you anything that you need. Need rebounds? I got you. Need defense? I got you. Inside game? Post up? Triple threat? Pick? Roll? Pop? Outside game? Run the break? Run the offense? Slash game? Drive and kick? Collapse the defense?
Rudy got you.
Defense? Nope
@@leont5096 He did alright when needed, especially on the Grizzlies and Spurs. Lockdown defender? No, but competent and can guard multiple positions? Sure.
lol. Get serious.
I see so many comments saying this is the first time hearing Rudy's voice. He did post game interviews when he played in Memphis. Some of the games were nationally televised.
One thing about Rudy Gay was that when he was in Memphis, you were going to get 19 points-no more, no less. If he got 19 in the first half, he shut it down for the rest of the game. Yes, I know that is not true for the literalists, but it sure felt like it when he was playing in Memphis.
Boogie used to have the funniest post game interviews when he was on the Kings 😂
So many times, they got so close to actually just saying, it's EVERYONES fault except the players!! I was just waiting for one of the three to say, the fans weren't right for him, or the air pressure in the building was messy. 🤣 (Love these dudes)
Rudy trying his hardest not to throw bodies under the bus. Lol
This is my first time hearing his voice for some odd reason, dude played in Toronto but I never heard his voice before lol but it sounds just like I expected
This podcast got it 🔥 2k my career don’t hit the same not seeing ya nomore 😤
This was good.
Rudy was cold.. walking highlight reel stupid athletic
I remember Rudy more when he was in memphis. Fans would be scared when he had the ball to win the game at the buzzer.
Always interesting to watch Carmelo talk about dysfunction anything 😂😂😂😂.
The great Rudini... Sac always appreciates Rudy those years were a mess
Sacramento still has love for Rudy
I always got Rudy Gay for my My team in 2k bro was I great 3rd option every time gave me great numbers
add rudy to tha show cuh
Rudy got one hell of a sense of humor.
Melo be having the crazy creases above his ankles with his socks over his sweats, I know his circulation be cut off by 5pm 😂
I loved to pick that kings team on 2k Rudy was a bucket
2:18 the look he gave was hilarious😂😂😂
On 2K Rudy Gay was always cookin
crazy that two Dean Smith players ended up having tarnished reputations. No one ever spoke a bad word about Dean Smith, George Karl tho.....and LArry Brown got some snake stories about him too.
Every plater speaks poorly of George Karl.
rudy goated on 2k
I think Rudy is having some memory issues. During his best season with the Kings, he averaged 21/5.9/3.7
He then averaged 18, then 17 the following years. Dude was always mid with elite talent.
That Kings team was so nice they even had rondo at 1 point !
Rudy was always one of my favorite players, its crazy how teams did him so bad🤦♂️
I actually forgot he played for the Kings, I mostly remember him in Memphis. Good player tho
Rudy is hilarious
Rudy, Cousins, and Rondo was a solid big three. if it wasn’t for the coaching, they should’ve made the playoffs. Rondo led the league in assists the year he played with. Kings.
Rember Kevin Love Roasting Rudu saying : Happy Birthday! Rudy! , Gay
I couldn’t understand the negative headlines about melo growing up or why he was getting blackballed later but at this moment I can understand why they thought about him the way they did or do. He’s still a legend to me but I see it now
Lmaooo George done caught so much smoke on this podcast
After Chris Bosh, Toronto felt like basketball purgatory until Rudy Gay came to the City. He made a lot of people become interested in the team ago. Before DeRozan and Lowry came of age as a duo
LET THE GUEST TALK MAN!!!!!!!!
As a lifelong Kings fan and a Sacramento native, sad to say with everything he said is true. We were caught in between a dilemma of is this city worth a basketball team or is this city to even more live in. A very sad story happened obviously we all know when the Lakers and Kings played in the 2002 Western Conference final ever since then has been so sad and just down in Sacramento has been the laughing stock of the NBA for many years.. 2022 2023 season turned out great let’s hope it can make it turn for the better as time goes
💜💜 light the beam 💜💜
Rudy Gays career makes a lot of sense when you listen to him talk
Man I use to cook with Rudy Gay on a couple 2Ks. Him and Reshard Lewis...
Bro warriors should of kept him cause they need him he might not be the best but it’s Rudy gay he gonna do something for them I always liked Rudy gay I don’t think he ever gets enough credit bro was a really good player
Wow, Rudy is actually pretty great at this.
Rudy gay, Montae Ellis, Iman shumpert, oj mayo were DEMI gods on 2k12 & 13
Always wonder about that team
I remember that season, the Kings had a winning record. Boogie got hurt and they fired Malone for what appears to be a silly reason.
Rudy we still love you in Memphis big dawg
Kings also had rondo that year who led the league in assists
Most east podcast I ever set
Better than gils because of Gil.
Melo got the illest fitted game on TH-cam 🔥
Shoutout to Rudy Gay for holding me down with a smooth jumper on 2K since I was in HS. Salute lmao
Makes me wonder what Boogie’s trajectory might have been had he been drafted into a better situation. Stable franchise, respectable coach. Like, what if he’s gone to the Spurs and had that infrastructure and culture and guidance?
That third guy kills the podcast. Need someone else
It's his podcast lol and not a hooper?
