He was a good player that had a good career with lot of highlights of him dunking and do all types of moves to players in the league. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Was one of my favorites growing up. Sucks that they couldnt put a solid team together in vancouver, i remember they were finally starting to look decent the year before they went to memphis with reef, bibby, and dickerson leading the way
So true..as a Memphian, i watched and kept up with the whole relocation process from Vancouver to Memphis. I was looking forward to seeing Reef play in Memphis but the Grizzlies were trying to move on from Vancouver period! Including players. Memphis traded for Pau Gasol(who was drafted by ATL)and the Hawks got Shareef. Mike Bibby went to the Kings for Jason Williams(I HATED THAT TRADE). The Grizzlies traded a fundamental, cerebral point guard for flashy "white chocolate" highlight reel guard. Mike Dickerson was simply bad luck. I saw him during the 1st preseason they were in Memphis and he was good but early in the regular season he got hurt and was never the same. I was at Big Country's last game ever, a preseason game vs the Miami Heat. During that 1st yr in Memphis, the Grizzlies negotiated his contract and bought him out and he retired.
@@elwin38 that shareef trade killed me. Never been a hawks fan and wasnt looking forward to cheering for them, but with the grizz leaving van it just wouldnt be the same. Then the injuries hit shareef and he started his tour of the nba before he called it a career. I basically had to start all over as a fan after that. That sucks to hear about dickerson. I remember he just kind of disappeared after the move. He made the whole Francis situation easy to take. Big butterfingers country and the stro show were just two guys i counted as mulligans
@@eljefe114 HE WAS MORE COMBO SF. ALSO HIS FRANCHISE WAS ABOUT TO BE CANCELED SO FIG OUT HOW HE WASTED HIS TALENT. IF HE PLAYED IN ANY TEAM THAT HAD MORE HELP HE WILL BE MULTIPLE ALL-STAR. PROBLEM WAS VANCOUVER WAS YOUNG NEW NBA TEAM NOBODY EVEN CARE ABOUT THEM.
I lived in Vancouver my whole life and saw the birth of the Grizzlies and the drafting of this guy. There’s a reason this highlight video is only 3 minutes long lol. In reality he was “a good player on a bad team” and totally over rated. He was a mediocre jump shooter and only one move, the spin move, while in the post. If a player gets 20 shots a game, he’s going to pad his stats every night. I’ve seen him play in person dozens of times and he’s really a mediocre player if he played on any other team that had more talent.
@@deelo2281 IF he was that bad, why did he play one All-Star? Why he was selected for the USA national team in the Olympics, a team for which winning the gold was IMPERATIVE? (And they did) Maybe he was not Kobe, but he played twelve seasons in the best league of the world, so have some respect.
GangstaViolin I do respect him but he still stunk as a player. In all those years how many times did he make the playoffs? How many times did he carry his team on his back deep into the playoffs? Never? Like I said, over rated, a good player on a bad team, and a player who didn’t necessarily make his team better.
It’s laughable when they say 90s players couldn’t play in today’s league maybe not the worst players but the top tier players yes they would be more effective look at this man he was a walking bucket
Bro he kinda play for small market teams though. His playoffs game includes him in the Kings which back that time, the kings is still a playoff team but not the one they used to be. But they give it all against the spurs though.
holds the distinction of playing the most consecutive regular season games without going to the playoffs (4 teams, 744 games) in the modern era, decent stats guy but definitely not a winner
He was blessed with the opportunity to be on one of the worst franchises EVER, the Vancouver Grizzlies, poorly managed, the Kings are much better organization today than the Grizzlies ever were, Vancouver doesn't deserve a basketball team ever again after that fuck up of a organization and I'm Canadian.

I think he was very underappreciated mostly because he was in small market teams that were bad back then.

Yep so Tru one big what if ?? that's too right. N franchise history .
He from Mississippi?
Mannn this brings back so many memories. Reef was a problem back then. He just played on bad teams but he was the Mitch Richmond of Power Forwards.
Stephen The13th I think Cj McCollum going end up in that category too.
Perfect analogy
Shareef had to deal with some real deal ballers at this time. U think of the powers forwards when he was playin?! Stacked

Damn yep
I have never seen a more beautiful basketball player
One of my favourite player back then, I've become Grizzlies fan because of him,too Bad he was traded when they relocate to Memphis
It's a good trade for the Grizzlies because they got Pau Gasol because of it.
Very underrated player.
Gon Tech you right ! He was the 2 nd youngest player reaching 5000 points back then
Majes
Too bad his prime was wasted on a non contender.

this man has career ave 18 PPG .One of my fave players in NBA LIVE 2002 PS1
Great player that should have been in more than one all star game.
I agree in full..
This man was a problem but his injuries kept him down smfh someone needs to do a video on him 💯
Underrated PF
Damn shame Vancouver lost their grizzlies
NBA wanted them to fail in Vancouver
@@tylerriley2587 That's a fact
Nice reef im your big fans
*Imagine Reef in this Era!!*
Ya imagine him getting his ass handed to him every night by more skilled players
@@deelo2281 more skilled? Lmao they can't even post up properly 🤣
Homey was a beast,solid! He was a 18-7-3 guy def one of the best at his position but his knee wouldn't hold up...
I agree, pretty solid and underrated player. He had a smooth post game. The injuries did take a toll sadly.
mookeychase0907 : that’s my older brother and to prove it our dad is willam Abdur Rahim
@@Yeah-rm3xg then we're brothers! My Mom is Aminah Abdur-Rahim
He get no love from anybody he started the big man with handles thing we see today … the future!
🤔 magic johnson, Tmac, Lamar Odom
@@geecee9770 true
@@geecee9770 He was before TMac & Lamar Odom...
He would destroy if he was playing in Today's League
He was like a SG also swift on the floor
Shareef was nice!
It’s laughable when they say 90s players couldn’t play in today’s league maybe not the worst players but the top tier players yes they would be more effective look at this man he was a walking bucket
Too bad he had knees problem. Very great player
He was the Pascal Siakam during his NBA prime
Known him becuz of NBA 2k Memphis All time. He's clutch
Fun playing him NBA hang time n 2k
Pascal siakim reminds me of shareef abdul Rahim
Definitely. That spin move is Spicy p’s favourite move
Great vid. That beat was ill
Thanks Floyd!
Veoshock !! Hey man keep doing what your doing. Please keep using them ILL ass beatz
damn straight! that's an early dilla co-production
Another underrated player
Bring Nba Back to Vancouver!
abysmalatrocious awsome!, ya seattle and vancouver are the top teams that deserve to have a NBA team! Both will get a team one day!
Do you have a video clip of Vancouver Grizzlies player intros when they used the song " 2UX Instrumental" by Technotronic?
Unfortunately, I don't :(
Its on you tube
He was a walking bucket getter
6 playoff games in a 12 year career, gotta wonder if it was on him
Bro he kinda play for small market teams though.
His playoffs game includes him in the Kings which back that time, the kings is still a playoff team but not the one they used to be.
But they give it all against the spurs though.
Where is the beat coming from cuzz ?
the pharcyde "she said" jay dee remix instrumental
Gon Tech thanks for the help bro, but was this made with the sample of that instrumental? or is there any full version of the beat from the video ?
This is the best version I could find for it.
