- Cedric Ceballos played 11 years in the NBA which were unfortunately marred by injuries, he played on some great teams including a team that made it to the NBA Finals. However, his path to the NBA was not an easy one and there were probably times where he didn't think he'd even make it. But he had a unique skillset that allowed him to fill it up on offense with his skill and athleticism, but also be someone that every team has a spot for with his incredible hustle. He made a questionable decision in the prime of his career that could be looked at as something that changed the trajectory of his career, but altogether he averaged 20 points multiple times in his career and can call himself an NBA all star, which not many else can. So, today we're going to talk about the one they called the Garbage Man, Cedric Ceballos.

Watching CC, Eddie Jones, Van Exel and others play their guts out at The Forum was some of the best times of my young life. Thanks for the vid!!!
Agreed, that team is a huge reason why I'm still a die-hard Lakers fan after Magic retired. Nicky V. was my favorite player for a while.
@@mprattyh3
He was probably the most fun player to watch during the 90s.
@@JD37 couldn't agree more

👍
They beat Seattle in a playoff series and nearly beat San Antonio
Michael Redd is another forgotten gem
Redd reminds me of another forgotten Milwaukee gem Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson
Cedric Ceballos was one of my favorite players to watch. I remember seeing the game in which he scored 50 for the Lakers.
Btw if you can find the time to create a vid profile on Van Exel and Eddie Jones, I’ll definitely watch and like! This is a really cool channel!!!
Please Do a profile on Larry Grandmama Johnson, going from a superstar and all star in Charlotte to a vital role player in New York the way he adapted his game after losing his athleticism needs to be studied!!!
He's like the opposite of forgotten though. It'd be like doing a video on Derrick Coleman
One of the best offensive rebounders ever! Flow on!
This is a really great channel!
You have excellent knowledge, while showing love and respect for the history and players and coaches.
Excellent research too.
I don't know how he does it. I'm starting to think he just sounds young but is actually like 45.
This dude was my favorite player growing up
Ceballos one of my favorite players with the lakers
Great Post! Well Cedddd!!
Great vid. When going to Long Beach St., I always wished we had Ceballos. When watching Horton Tucker (when he was on the Lakers) and his moves around the basket and using the glass, he reminded me of Ceballos. I'm surprised he never averaged in double figure rebounds because in some games it seemed like he was getting that just in offensive boards.
Ooh another good video would be Norm Nixon!
I could do Norm Nixon. From Pittsburgh. Stayed home and played for Duquesne. Drafted by the Lakers. An excellent player. He was in the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh starring Dr J. Met Debbie Allen on the set of that movie in 1978. They got married a few years later when Fame the tv series was on. They're still married today. Nixon got in a dispute with Pat Riley so Riley wanted him to play in the summer league. Norm Nixon refused so he was traded to the San Diego Clippers for Byron Scott. The End
huge suns fan esp in the barkely years.. but even before chuck, CC came to hustle every night! he's the true epitome of hustle! we would've beaten the bulls in 93 had he been healthy to shut down MJ... he was a great defender.... much love ICE!!!!
Nice videos! Please feature Jim Jackson and Harold Miner. Thanks! Good job!
Good vid, do one on Mookie Blaylock..
Do one on Stacey augmon and one on Mitch Richmond also one on Ronny seikaly
How about tree Rollins or Moses Malone?
I got a long list, but I add everyone's suggestions. Definitely plan to go further back in history with guys like Rollins and malone too
@@ForgottenPlayerProfiles great job man. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you
Cedric was very good player and has an all around game and always a threat against opposing team. Hope he's doing well today.
Please do kevin johnson ! Your channell is great
I got one on him already, check the channel!
I was playing against some 6'6" overweight black dude at LA fitness one time. I was giving him buckets and talking mad shit. Turns out, it was an old Cedric Ceballos 😂 and his knees we're just done from all those years of PROFESSIONAL basketball lol
No i dont forget ceballos...i saw him playing with the suns (my favourite suns team all-time) and with the lakers (not the best lakers team but fun to watch)...nooo we dont forget your spectacular way to play basketball 🤙
Cedric Cellabos was nice. Too bad injuries ruined his career.
Are you going to do a video on Zach Randolph?
Great player
Another good video, you ever heard of sedale threat?
The thief, yup, he's on my list
@@ForgottenPlayerProfiles HA! Indeed, awesome!
Thanks a lot, man! What about a Video about Eddie "The Eagle" Jones. EJ6 is the only player I have above Ice. Good old times!
Eddie Jones is my all time favorite player.
@@tutran8363 same here 👍
I remember wanting dale ellis to play with x and Tom in phoenix
True story I was going to ask for you to do a video about him.
Can you do edie jones and kevin johnson
Thank you
didnt need plays run for him to get his......very valuable skill
Nice...
One of my favorite Lakers players
I found it so strange that he barely played against the bulls in the 93 finals
He got injured in the western conference finals I think. I remember Mark West carrying him off the court so he didn't see any playing time during the finals because of injuries.
@@theclown2393 I remember that too. I was very disappointed, I wanted Phoenix to win.
@@timhall5382 Me too....I was in 8th grade during that time. They had a good run. Also had they swept the Rockets in 94' and 95' like they almost did I'm convinced they would have had at least 2 NBA titles then.
Strange is right. It's always something now isn't it? I remember magic Johnson and Byron Scott both got "HURT" in the finals one year.
Ceballos got hurt in game 6 of the conference finals in Seattle. A stress fracture. That's why Richard THE DOPE FIEND Dumas got all that playing time. Kevin Johnson was injured also. If Phoenix was healthy they would've beat Chicago
I wonder what happened *sniff* to that kid from Lower Merion 🥺
I think they said he went on to be the greatest player to ever step court on a nba floor
U didn’t mention that him and Kobe are cousins … great vid
How about Vernon Maxwell aka MadMax . He was solid for the Houston rockets for 3 or 4 yrs
Need Tyrus Thomas and Antwon walker
doesnt he gotta be in a Suns uniform for the thumbnail?
Cedric Ceballos and Kobe were second cousins.
He stole my name!.. just kidding, I'll never the dunk contest and he was a decent basketball player as well
jason terry and kyrie irving have had average careers and didn't equal cedric ceballos
you missed all kinds of facts. Maybe tou shouldn't do this if you're only giving half truths. I was at magics first home game when he threw his fit and went to Havasu. EOD we got Horry & 3 rings. Thanks Ced. And you missed fact they were second #8 to knock out a #1
Seattle wasn't the 1 seed in 1995. They were 4th
The second 8 seed to beat a 1 was the Knicks beating Miami. The Knicks went to the NBA Finals when they did it
Magic's first home game was not when Cedric went to Lake Havasu. That happened a couple months later. Sounds like you're the one with the wrong information
Richard Dumas was a better player
When Dumas was clean yes he was. Richard Dumas was a junkie and got a lifetime ban so Ceballos was better
Better smoker
A video that nobody has even thought about doing is a what if. For instance what if the bulls replaced Jordan with a jim jasckson, Richmond or Cedric. Honesty I don't think the bulls would've suffered and would've continued to win titles
Fool, you REALLY believe you could've just plugged in one of those guys and had the SAME results????😮😮
Lol right
Um........... No, no they wouldn't have kept winning titles.
Richmond and CC could ball but they didn't have the demonic killer mentality as Jordan to continue on the Bulls dynasty
@@theclown2393 exactly, I can't think of anybody that could have done it. Maybe Kobe from 05-12 but they don't make guys like that very often.
Potential talent. You know what happens when you're not disciplined? Cedric Ceballos happens. Doesn't deserve your attention. I watched the whole thing happen game by game, year after year. Stop wasting your time.
Mad much
Yeah, I remember him. The Sixers were trying to get him for a while.
