It’s funny how people think he broke because he’s retired and found a new purpose he rich as hell but imagine your entire life revolved around something then it stops you gotta find something to give your life meaning and this what he like
Notre Dame class of '77 (though he went "hardship", i.e., early), same as I.
Dude had career 54% fg% that is ridiculously good better than Tim Duncan AND about the same as Charles Barkley.
Truly a humble superstar...was a technician on the court. Got his points without traveling.
Dantley was the most efficient and technical pure scorer ever seen on a basketball court.
I can't argue. Gervin and Bird were more fun to watch. They combined pure shooting with an assortment of moves and ways to score. Each could use their left hand well, too. But no one topped AD for steady efficiency and consistency.
Big facts his field goal percentage is unmatched among all forwards in NBA history
@@ultra3934 McHale is a little higher 55.4 to Dantley's 54.0. But Kevin was a much taller PF who generally played a little closer to the basket. So that's a big difference right there
Him and Alex English.
Always respected Adrian, for someone only 6' 5" he did some serious damage in the paint. A very smart player with a lot of talent, it was a sad day when the Jazz traded him to the Pistons. Thanks for posting this, and Adrian if you happen to read this thanks for the great memories and nice to see you living a sweet life.
I had the pleasure of playing against this brother in high school. It was the Jelleff Summer League in Georgetown, Wasington DC. It was the playoffs and we were the eighth seed. He score 40 points on us while arriving late to the game and missing most of the first half. He's a DC Ledgend and a hell of a nice guy!
Love the fact that he "gives back" to the kids , community. this is a terrific way to get to heaven. It doesn't matter if Isiah Thomas or Chuck Daley like you or not.good Job AD
Was traded for Aguirre
I was born in 1996. Mr. Dantley seems like what Tracy McGrady is for our generation. He'll be forgotten by the masses. But if you saw it when it happened, ohhhhh man... T-Mac or Kobe was a conversation for a few years. Mr. Dantley, thank you from INDIA :). You did a great service to our game and you continue as a person. Again, love from INDIA! :)
He was such a pro and his low post game was so fun to watch. Incredibly proficient
AD was a great player and is definitely a hero making sure the kids get to school safely the hall of fame was well deserved.
he just reffed my game
I’ll always love AD!
AD GAVE YOU 🪣 BACK IN THE DAY...
I got my midrange game from A.D. first and then Jordan .
A great player, terrorific scorer, well human being
AD he was slick and smooth back in the day. He was one of them guys like gervin who just kind of slid around the court.
Played pickup bball with AD back in the day. Love that he has such a great life.
Sad he is so underrated!! To be a 6'5 power forward and lead NBA in scoring is just CRAZY!!! Should get more flower!!!
But you guys say 6”5 like he’s a small short man he’s like the third tallest average height in the nba cause 6”8 an up is centers to power towards
Lots of respect for this guy. Great player, great man
He was important for the shaping of that 1987-1989 period
He had the Work ethics!!! Humble, and Done it !! So it's back to the community!! Give it back !!! Great piece 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Never got to cheer him as a player but glad I had the opportunity to give him an ovation when he coached against us during the playoffs when George Karl was out. Utah legend.
What an amazing story!
Played against him in high school in a tournament when he was with Dematha. I never saw someone so dominating without being excessively tall. He was explosive but had a quick release often without leaving the floor. His team was the best in the country.
I mean dude he’s 6”5 how is he not tall I mean compared to the tallest nba players he’s basically the 3rd average tallest cause centers an powerfowards are 6”8 plus but in real life he’s way above average
Humility. Repect.
One of the greats, for sure!
Enjoyed watching him play
Luka is what he reminds me of
Interesting piece on Adrian Dantley Wasn't he traded to the Pistons or something after his time with the Jazz or did he leave as a free agent?
got into a feud with Frank Layden because of a contract holdout... got traded to the Pistons for Kelly Tripucka
They thought he was a bad example for the young Karl Malone. Reportedly he told Malone never to dive for a loose ball because he could get hurt.
Adrian is one of my favorite all-time college basketball players. I remember watching watching he and Notre Dame go into Pauley Pavilion and breaking the record at 81 games against UCLA.
The winning streak ended in South Bend. A real basketball fan would know that.
Ad better than pippen 🏀✌️
Offensively easily.
Never understood why they traded him for Aquire. Dantley was also a very good player Notre Dame as well. Class man
Why not? The reason has been clear since the day of the trade.
@@mr.brenman2132 no it hasn’t, Dantley was a very good player and no need to trade him.
@@irishcole3516 He whined constantly and tried to go at the best player of the team. Bye bye. He didn't have much left anyways.
@@mr.brenman2132 completely disagree,Aguire was a head case from my recollection. That’s why Laimbeer set him straight
Who is here from the interview and Melo’s new podcast?!?
