TOM CHAMBERS NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOF ASAP
AGREED!!!
The only player to score over 20,000 points and not in the HOF? Tom Chambers.
There is a bias against White Guys and Chambers is at the top of that list.
Chambers was a fantastic scorer during his prime, and at times, exemplified greatness. Certainly one of the most underrated all-star players from the NBA's "Golden Era". His offensive game was a preview of today's stretch 4 players and he was forerunner of later bigs like Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, and Giannis. Good to see him getting some deserved recognition here and it's long past time that he be inducted into the HOF.
With all due respect to Tom Chambers the original Stretch 4 was Bob McAdoo during his playing days in Buffalo.
@@dwightlove3704 wrong it’s bob petit
@@Wowvod Petit could shoot from the perimeter some ppl have said Tom Heinsohn(Boston) paved the way for Stretch 4s of today.
@@dwightlove3704 Actually, Dolph Schayes might of been the original or one of them.
What a legend Isaiah thomas is
Legendary. The most equally respected people I've seen in my lifetime in Detroit are Detroiters Mayor Coleman A. Young & Aretha Franklin, and Chicagoan Isiah "Zeke" Thomas.
Great video! I saw Tom Chambers play more than few times and the dude was bad. I mean, Tom could pull up and hit a deep jumper in your face and then had the ability to dunk over you on the next play. Man, if Tom had played with Magic he'd be in the HOF!
Props to Isiah for shouting out Tommy C!
Tom Chambers was one of my favorite players from the 80s and 90s
Same here..... these young cats don't know how dominant this dude was in his prime
He's my favorite to this day. I bought packs of fleer, skybox and upper deck just to find him back then. Can you imagine how giddy I was to find his holographic frame Upper Deck card? #42 Jazz.
Tom Chambers had that legendary 3 point line dunk in Lakers vs Celtics game back in the day of the Sega Genesis
Facts
Lol bring back memories
Tom Chambers is the only superstar on that Lakers vs Celtics video game who couldn't miss his signature move.
A 3 point line dunk? That's impossible
People talk about the Stretch position. Dirk and KG get the majority of credit, but it's a little deeper. You had stretch players in the 80s. Ralph Sampson,Delf Shermf, Akeem, and Tom Chambers. And there are more. But it's important to share some B-ball history to the2.0 generation.
Sam Perkins
Larry bird. The original stretch
@@barthgrooks628 Bill Laimbeer and Bob McAdoo
@@oaikaktoulou4021 Larry entered the league right when the 3 point line was introduced to the NBA. And bird was the best shooter in the league for probably the first 10 years the 3 PT line was added, bird won the very first 3 PT competition at all star break, and 2nd and 3rd competition... So ots safe the say larry was the original stretch forward.
@@barthgrooks628 to me Larry was so great all around that I cannot even call him a stretch forward he was so much more than that but I get your point
Tom Chambers to Hall of Fame.
Tom Chambers was a beast
I can't believe he's 60 years old. This man take care of himself
It helps if you are black 🤷♂️
@@ericfurst6091 or have millions and dont have to do hard labor everyday to survive. And these dudes on tv wear make up also.
@@ericfurst6091 tell that to asian grandmas who look like 30 without makeup
@@ninjedi6710 from my experience, asians have big fall of after 60.
The blacks age much slower, imo.
Say what? Manu Ginobli in the HOF before Tom Chambers? Ridiculous!
It sounds heretical: but Chambers was a better overall player.
Another former generational player who would EXCEL (22-24 ppg) nowadays but the lack of archival footage doesn’t help his cause (versus the overblownup modern era on the internet).
The Mark Jackson dunk ok. Go find the TC dunk in the Boston garden where he goes around Bird and flys over McHale and Parish and almost bings the whole basket down. That is the best dunk ever by TC.
Maaan I love that dunk! It’s especially impressive how he twists at like, at least 180 degrees while in mid air when he slams it instead of just reversing it like a normal player would coming from the baseline lol. Nah, not TC. He twists and slams with both hands while being guarded by the best front court ever. Legendary
Tatum is like Pierce mix with Paul George
Chambers was great but I don't really see the comparison to JT.
The Tall guy that can do it all. Chambers is on the Celtics so he gets the Larry Bird comparisons but Chambers was looked at as a more athletic Larry Bird. So IT being stuck in his era sees a resemblance that most new fans who don't know about a lot of old great players don't see.
This is a super fire segment, especially for someone like me who wasn’t there when Tom Chambers was doing his thing
This is a great spot for zeke if anyone can link the past to the future its a guy like Isiah.
I think tatum more like t mac.. But chambers.. Again another player that had a deep jumper ability that was not utilized right.. He could have been an Early dirk
Fuckkk nooooo
I watched Chambers playing college hoops at Utah for 4 years when I was in high school. He could play.
Thing is, he was 2nd best player those years behind Danny Vranes. In college, anyway. Vranes not nearly the NBA player Chambers was.
A SF and a PF. Both solid weapons, but style and assets aren't that similar. Imo.
Tatum played PF for a season and at times does so now.
It's so nice to see this spotlight on my favorite player of all time Tom Chambers! I'm from Utah and my pop used to take me to see Tom play at the University of Utah as a kid. To have a player as great as Isaiah talk like this about Tom Chambers means the world and must be a massive compliment to him!
Who remembers Tom chambers double pump flying 👻 dunk on Sega genesis lakers vs celtics !
He’s hands down the greatest player not in HOF but should be
Chambers dunk against the Celtics is a must see.
Glad to see Tom Chambers mentioned and highlighted in 2023.
Tom Chambers should be in the Hall of Fame.
It makes sense but of course the game changed enough to where the body types and shot selection don't really match
It wasn’t a great coach or gm but his drafting and talent evaluation is up there with greats like Jerry West so if he says it I’ll believe it
Isiah drafted Damon Stoudamire who was rookie of the year, drafted Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, drafted David Lee who went on to get a $80 Million contract and started until the Warriors realized Draymond played better defense and allowed Steph Curry to run free, drafted Trevor Ariza(Champ),drafted. Nate Robinson(Star), drafted Wilson Chandler, drafted Marcus Camby(Defensive Player of the Year), traded for Jamal Crawford, traded for Stephon Marbury, traded for Steve drafted Channing Frye(Champ), traded for Zach Randolph, made Ron Artest and Jermaine O’Neal Starters for the first time and Artist became a Champion, traded for Jalen Rose, traded for Eddy Curry. Looking at these Players, you can’t say that they were Bad Players, or not Talented.
Never got the chance to watch him play but i surely remember Tom Chambers in my Sega basketball videogame doing the double pumping slam!! He’s basically a legend to me because of that unstoppable dunk!
Feels like Zeke never really compared the two. He just described both guys game. Clickbait-ish bleachreport
This was great 💎
Chambers wasn’t much for playing defense, IIRC. He also never translated all that talent into a ring. That’s two ways I hope Tatum doesn’t emulate him.
(PS: Love Isiah!)
he was an ok defender, nothing horrible, nothing great. the rings thing is more of a product of playing in the Showtime/Boston era and Jordan's era.
With the Pistons and Rockets sneaking in 2 Championships a piece. Also can't forget about the 83 76ers.
Tom Chambers was a beast
Tom Chambers was a Cross between LARRY BIRD AND DOMINIQUE WILKINS!
Tom Chambers
Baron Davis
Antawn Jamison
Joe Johnson
All these guys are 20,000 point players not in HOF
Thank you for the education
SORRY I don't see this comparison. LOL Tatum is a MUCH MORE COMPLETE player. He doesn't have ANY HOLES In his game pretty much. That's NO DISS to Tom C. Was a true alpha dog level scorer in his prime. Was WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME when it came to his blend of freak athletic ability and scoring skilset at 6'10. At one point, he blended those two elements BETTER than any PF in the league. You could say Tatum combines athletic abilty and scoring skill BETTER than any SF in the league.
So in THAT SENSE the are somewhat similar. BUT that's where the buck stops. Chambers positonal versatility ON OFFENSE had him playing SF, PF, and C at various points. So Tatum is MORE CLOSE to a positionless type of two way player. PG, SG, SF, and PF ARE ALL ON THE TABLE of JT's brand of two way versatility. Paul George-sque better a better scorer. Markannen is likely the CLOSEST THING to Chambers in today's league.
And i'm NOT SAYING Chambers in on KD's level as a player. BUT in terms of size, scoring skillet, and athletic ability as a package, Chambers was the CLOSEST THING to a KD type of player in his era. Or hell even a Dirk for that matter! The closest things to guy like Porter Jr. Not an EXACT COMPARISON to none of the guys I mentioned. Just saying Chambers was the CLOSEST THING to those players in a certain sense back in the 80's.
Tom Chambers had about 4 years where he was playing at a high level. His best season was in the 89-90 season he averaged 27.2 points a game, too bad the Suns couldn't make it to the NBA Finals that season after upsetting the heavily Favored Lakers in the 2nd round.
I played my son in 2k and i used a team that had TC. I was wearing him out with TC. He was like WHO IS THIS GUY?! I was like buddy, you have no idea! TC could give you THAT WORK!!
No comparison at all. Chambers was a higher jumper. Chambers has one of the most posterising dunks of all time.
Nice. Chambers would fit right in todays era being 6'10" and a shooter.
Did Isiah ever mistake Chambers for Don Ford?
At least someone like Isiah can compare someone like Jayson Tatum to someone other than Kobe (no disrespect), next should be Devin Booker
Yeah, looked lke a European player when there were no European players in the NBA
To say that Jason Tatum reminds you of Tom Chambers is a tremendous compliment to Tatum. Chambers is one of the most underrated players all-time and he should be in the HOF if the HOF wishes to remain a relevant and credible organization.
I don’t know if that’s a compliment or insult lol but Zeke is my favorite nba point guard
I like that comparison I definitely can see can shoot it and go to the rack
Know Tom Chambers. Who is this other cat ?
I met Tom Chambers today nice guy very casual he was wearing some crocs
He is the only former player with over 20,000 career points and NOT in the HOF.
It's a travesty too.
LeBron is a rich mans Karl Malone
Danny Granger
I always thought he was an Allen Houston type
Tatum is 6'8 and chambers is 6'11 with athleticism, speed and toughness of giannis and shooting of jokic...no comparison
You are wrong, tatum has no killer instinct, when you say killer instinct, you’re referring to Kobe, MJ, KG, or Jimmy butler. They are fierce, they have passion and intensity and desire and will to win, tatum is on the soft side
He will get minimum five rings with Celtics before retirement 💪🏼☘️
Ja Morant got that dog in him though.
Jimmy Butler is Garbage don't ever compare him too Kobe KG or MJ
@@mytriish1977 lmao aye chill
I agree it seems like at times Jaylen brown got more dog in him. Tatum more finesse in his game
I remember being a young 13-year old kid cheering on the Bulls in the 1993 finals. From out of nowhere, this guy named Tom Chambers comes off the Phoenix bench and proceeds to do a super quick reverse slam where he's waaaaaay over the basket. That was my introduction to Tom Chambers.
Thanks Isiah for giving this guy a shout out. He deserves the hall call.
Jayson Tatum some angle can compare his playing style to Joe Johnson.
I know is Sean Chamber who played in the PBA here in the Philippine Basketball. Lol!
I remember Tom chambers from that awesome dunk from almost the three point line, he double pumped it into the basket.
TRUELY GREAT VIDEO BY ISAIAH!
too bad chambers had such a short prime, if he was still at his peak no way suns lose in 93
Chambers had better hops.
Another odd/off Zeke comp.
Video ended at "killer instinct"
He's more like prime Carmelo Anthony... but if if stayed focused and locked in he could dangerous 💜 🐍
Tatum is a much better all around offensive player than Tom Chambers was. Isaiah Thomas is a guy who was a better player than he was coach or gm.
You watched Tom?
@@AS-fz5dp yes. Tom Chambers couldn't handle the ball like Tatum doesn't have range like Tatum. The only thing Chambers does better than Tatum is dunk.
@@joshpereira956 you don’t know the game.
@@joshpereira956 respectfully.
@@AS-fz5dp And you're clearly clueless Chambers averaged 18 and 6 for his career. Was a below average defender. Who shot less than 30 percent from 3 and was all NBA what once. Tatum is 24 already did that twice already and has one less all star appearance. Tatum is only getting better and has better career numbers than Chambers. Tatum is considered a top ten player in the league while Chambers was never considered that. Not even a top 5 power forward in the 80's. Barkley, Malone, Bird, Mchale, Larry Nance one less all star game than Chambers but was a much better defender than Chambers.
No wayyyyy
JT is suoerior
JT averages more shots than points he is mediocre at best this year
U dont what ur talking about...chambers is 6'11 with an athletic ability, 3 pointshooting, who can pass, steals, blocks, can dribble, fast...tatum is 6'9
I just realized IT looks like a smaller Dikembe Mutumbo
Everyone: Jayson Tatum compares to Kobe
Isiah Thomas: Tom Chambers 🤭
Wtf is going on here
IT gotta be drunk🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I was tryna be respectful but idk what i.t. was doing here lol. No disrespect to chambers at all but I just dont see it. Tatum's name in everyone mouth right now so he probably just thought of anything to say
@@randybooker16 nobody said Kobe. Just not Tom chambers
Y’all have never seen Tom chambers plays and it shows lmao
@@noahcricket I have watch Tom play and it’s not really like tatum
First off tatum is a volume 3pt shooter and Tom maxed out at 1.8 3pt attempts a game, Tom is way better at getting to the line. Also I don’t exactly how to put this but tatum just doesn’t really move like him.
Hey but I give it up to Isiah for making a comparison for tatum that isn’t just Kobe
@@10102s The volume 3 pt shooting is because the game changed, and not because of Tatum, mostly because of Steph Curry. Obviously Tom would have also developed and shot a ton of 3s in this era.
do you even know how to spell Isaiah
this one is spelled like he did
Bait
They spelt it how Detroit Lord Thomas spelt it.
That's how his name is spelled.
Man my dad used to always tell me about Tom chambers and show me his game tapes that guy could really ball
