Yeah Schrempf is not being given enough credit for his role in promoting the game in Europe and Germany in particular. He went to the US really early and thus was kinda forgotten by the German public. His popularity was not comparable to Dirk but as you said, he walked to Dirk could run.
@@GHOST91141 lol I use to think they was the same people when I was younger lol. But grew up I found out Chris mullen was with Golden State RUN TMC. But detlef good too espically when he was at Seattle. Point is they was 3pt specialist B4 Kyle korver JJ Reddick or even peja. those two was 3pt shooters these days they could hit about 6 threes a game easily I know that's a stretch but these days I think those two would easily shoot the 3 ball.
People always say MJ didn’t beat anybody to puff up Lebron. That Sonics team had prime Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schrempf. All those dudes were All-NBA talent at their peak.
Detlef is a underrated legend in my book,this dude gave teams work whenever he played against them. He would be first ballot hall of famer for underrated players if they had a hof for underrated players
He was my favorite NBA player ever. I have a poster of him on my wall and a jersey from the Sonics. So versatile and skilled. Not many players like him now or ever.
Loved me some Dale Ellis back in the day. I was 6 in 1979 and the Ellis/X/Chambers squad was the first Sonics team I would ride/die with. 7-9000 fans at the old Seattle Center Coliseum. ❤
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I have these to say: "Det....,.Lef......SCHREMPF!!" And, "Detlef Schrempf, Three Points, Three Points Schrempf."
@@amberwoods1137 Amber, bless Jim Gracie! I DID wonder, if opposing players liked to his 3-pointers at Seattle, because they liked how Jim Gracie would announce it: "Tracy Murray, Three Points, Three Points, Murray."
I like it when you said: "...but that's unfortunately the case with humble players. They don't need & seek the recognition". Excellent job! I can see you did the research. Thank you for this great recap of Schrempf's career :)
I loved him on the Sonics. Nowadays we hear so much about the impact of foreign players like its new. But in my childhood/ teens there was Vlade, Marcilonis, Hakeem, Smits, Shrempf, Petrovic, and Manute Bol. All impactful in some way. So it was never new or big surprise with the future guys other than Jokic, which I admit based on his style is something ive never seen before.
@@sideshowbobsaget8876Walton was similar to Jokic in some ways. Passed similarly out of the high post. Though no offensive player had the full package quite like Jokic. Sabonis is most similar, though much taller and wouldn't have shot 3s like Jok
Detlef Schrempf was a good player who deserves more credit overall because he wasn't a selfish person on the court and he would hustle for plays and defend you just as well. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
I remember that summer of 99 like yesterday as a Blazer fan. The news broke we got Schrempf, Pippen, and Steve Smith all in one swoop. It was clear he was older but he had some great games in red & black. Contributed in so many ways. That team was stacked too, so he didn't get the amount of shots he used to, but when he was on, he was smooth and efficient. Great player.
I saw detlef lifting weights at u Washington summer 94. And I also saw his routine before games. He looked like he was a consistent worker practicing fundamentals.
Great work man. You put a lot of effort in this interesting career of Detlef Schrempf. Awesome. Enjoyed every Minute. Greetings from Det's hometown Leverkusen.
Swiss army knife type of player. The shooting at his size combined with the rebounding and playmaking skills, Schrempf really was a player every single team would have wanted.
Real Talk True Player and Raw playing for the Sonics showing how a 6th man can be an integral part of a Great Team soley Missed. Much Respect for Detlef
This channel is fantastic and will hopefully grow a lot! How about a video about Shawn Bradley? Or as we called him in Germany: Siggi 😅 Greetings from Germany!
One of my all time favorite players. I remember they changed it so foreign students couldn’t play varsity sports after he played at Centralia they could only play JV
Interesting fact Detlef was drafted in 1985 and at that time another German was drafted at pick 17, Uwe Blab bet majority of y'all never knew this but now yall do. When they was both going into college Blab was more highly ranked and ended up a Hoosier
thanks for posting all of these some what forgotten gems! also, can you do one on napolean kaufman from the raiders and natrone means from the chargers?
i never understood why detlef was traded for the mavs after the Aguirre trade. they finally opened up a role for him and then traded him for a journeyman big. would've been better served trading Aguirre for a big and calling it a day. Great channel by the way. i watch all your vids and i subscribe.
Detleff didn't have the scoring ability of Dirk Nowitzki but overall he was a much more complete player. Elegance and versatility, he could score, block, catch rebounds, initiate quick breaks (or finish them), one of my favorite players ever
@@cmn225 Why are you getting so defensive about. I have a right to name who I want to. I mean the players you named are good especially Curry, but that's who I think were great jump shooters, brotha.
@@marvinwhittaker not getting defensive at all bro that's just a wild take...everybody you named is legit especially Bird but i'd have named Steph, Reggie, & Ray before Dirk, Schrempf, & Nash
I didn't knew Schrempf was the first european All Star! I was under the impression that title would belong to Kiki VanDeWeghe who while being american citizen was born in West Germany. VanDeWeghe was a back to back All Star in '83 and '84. That does not take anything away from Schrempf though! He definitely was an important pioneer for european players and I want to think he had atleast something to do with how Dirk Nowitzki's career panned out. I remember Schrempf vividly from his Sonics days.
He was very versatile and maybe a little before his time. I think he was good for 15-20 PPG in his prime. Did he also play for Portland during the Jail Blazers Era? Seattle and Portland were both loaded, but these teams often shot themselves in the foot mentally. I also wonder if these teams were examples of having TOO much talent. There would be a lot of egos, while at the same time it was difficult for players to get a rhythm. It felt like watching those Rick Pitino - Kentucky teams, but at the professional level. Two separate waves of starter level players. The Sonics had a window when Jordan retired. I just didn't see Seattle beating the Bulls in those Finals, even though Gary Payton claimed to be slowing MJ down.
i did do and will rank these title teams in this EXACT order #1 87 lakers #2 96 bulls and #3 88 lakers and i did do and will rank these legends in this EXACT order #1 kareem abdul-jabbar #2 michael jordan and #3 magic johnson

Detlef walked so Dirk could run. So underrated.

I'll take detlef over dirk
Facts... 💯 Deadlef his shots were deadly
@@peewee3030 You will take Detlef over MVP, Finals MVP leader of one of the most impressive Playoff runs in NBA history Dirk?
That's just wild.
@@peewee3030his game was certainly more well-rounded. Dirk was only exceptional at shooting/scoring. Detlef was skilled and productive in many areas.
Detlef would be killing in this era of basketball
Him and Chris mullen both
@Youngsta Mullen no doubt would be as well

Detlef should be in the Naismith Hall of Fame IMO.

every team Jordan beat was full of dogs
Detlef is a underrated legend in my book,this dude gave teams work whenever he played against them.

This will be a top basketball channel in no time.
Great work and tons of replay value. It's like going through a collection of basketball cards.
Straight uPP💯
My man he was that dude for Seattle and Indiana salute to him 💯💪💪💪
The best duo in NBA Jam for me was Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schrempf.
As a Suns fan he killed us while in Seattle and winning 6th man with Indiana twice over Dan Majerle. Tremendous player who I have mad respect for.
He was my favorite NBA player ever. I have a poster of him on my wall and a jersey from the Sonics. So versatile and skilled. Not many players like him now or ever.
I used to love Detlef Schremph and that Sonics team.
He was a Beast!
HOF in my book
Detlef was nice... Boy had finesse and swag in his game.. Shooting form was A1.
Loved me some Dale Ellis back in the day. I was 6 in 1979 and the Ellis/X/Chambers squad was the first Sonics team I would ride/die with. 7-9000 fans at the old Seattle Center Coliseum. ❤
He was a fantastic shooter - he was a good piece of the puzzle in that Super Sonics group.
Det was awesome! He could put the ball on the floor, pull up from practically anywhere, rebound and pass.
This man’s grind is crazy, big things coming for this channel
One of my mom's favorite players❤
My favorite player of all time.
I always liked his game. Very underrated as a player.
Versatile, fearless, dope! Detlef’s wrist hook after his release was crazy..smooth mf. I loved his game
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I have these to say: "Det....,.Lef......SCHREMPF!!" And, "Detlef Schrempf, Three Points, Three Points Schrempf."

Sarunas Marciulionis 13 Warriors come with it.Keep up the great work 👏 brings back memories.
You're really on your job 💪💪. Detlef Schrempf was the man in my book he made teams better
You need to do Latrell Sprewell. Really enjoy this content 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up the good work
So underrated his was like that when I was a kid late 90 early 2000
Patrick didn’t think ole Detlef would throw back !! Loved the sonics and he was such a great fit
Another guy on my NBA in the zone 2000 roster.
Leave it to Detlef to look 56 years old while in high school and then basically not aging during decades in the NBA.
As a Pacers fan and then NBA Jam fan, Detlef will always be the man in my book. Great video!
always liked his game when I was a kid
Swiss army knife type of player. The shooting at his size combined with the rebounding and playmaking skills, Schrempf really was a player every single team would have wanted.
0:26 One of my all-time favorite Dan Majerle highlights.
Every team that Det went to, that team won. #winner

Legendary
Detlef will always be one of the front men for entertainment720 “cause we go around the world and back for you”
Title had me in the first half, I’m not gon lie lol
I just found this page. Great content and put together brilliantly
Thank you
Love these videos, you’re killing it. Would love a Mitch Richmond episode
Great profiles! Do one on Šarūnas Marčiulionis or Žydrūnas Ilgauskas 🏀
That background music is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can you do a video on Monta Ellis please? Also Ben Wallace
Man thank god I grew up in the 90s to 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks man
Loved him on sonics team, awesome team!!!
I think if Det had more speed, he would've been a Top 75 player
One of my all time favorite players. I remember they changed it so foreign students couldn’t play varsity sports after he played at Centralia they could only play JV
They thought it was cheating to bring him over lol
Thank you. He should be talked about more . Thanks for the video man. Love em eh
Love this channel, bro. Seriously. Keep'em comin! 👏🙌
Interesting fact Detlef was drafted in 1985 and at that time another German was drafted at pick 17, Uwe Blab bet majority of y'all never knew this but now yall do. When they was both going into college Blab was more highly ranked and ended up a Hoosier
loving the channel.. keep grinding bro 💪 #subscribed
Thank you
Shrimp! Do Marbury next
You left off that Detlef was the first person to do a Euro step move in the NBA.
Nah that was Elgin Baylor
Love the background beat
I hoped the stacked 2000 Trailblazers team would bring a ring home. They had all the talent they needed, including Schrempf.

What great info, thanks
As a kid we called him deadly scrumf lol idk why we called him that but hey
Larry Bird along with Dirk Nowitzi, Detlef Schrempf, Steve Nash were the greatest jump shooters of all time.
Steph Curry, Ray Allen, & Reggie Miller don't exist?

@@cmn225 Okay cool my bad. They're all great shooters. Each player had or has a good jump shot. Curry can shoot way beyond the arc.
@@marvinwhittaker gotta throw Klay in there too
I didn't knew Schrempf was the first european All Star! I was under the impression that title would belong to Kiki VanDeWeghe who while being american citizen was born in West Germany. VanDeWeghe was a back to back All Star in '83 and '84.
That does not take anything away from Schrempf though! He definitely was an important pioneer for european players and I want to think he had atleast something to do with how Dirk Nowitzki's career panned out. I remember Schrempf vividly from his Sonics days.
Kiki VanDeWeghe was born in Wiesbaden but he was an amercian citizen. His father was amercan also his mother....
96' was the best record in Sonic's Franchise history.
Fudgin heck those Sonics teams were fun to watch.
When you do dirk it will be legendary
please make one about Josh Smith ATL and Ricky Davis ✌️✌️✌️ best regards from Serbia
He Had fucking game 💯
Can you do Shaun Livingston mid range assassin
Ironic that he was Dirk before Dirk since he began his career with the Mavericks, they had both him and Dale Ellis blossom elsewhere after being dealt
It's good to have Rice, Curry with Schrempf
Make one on Bob Dandridge
Could you do Nick Van Exel? Great Content!!
Did he not?
Tom chambers, Dale Ellis, Terry Porter and Mike Dunleavy Jr can we get them soon?
Shrempfffff 🏀
I’m still wondering why Pipp punched him in the face during a practice… we’re talking about PRACTICE…! lOl
Hey.... Could you do FORGOTTEN PLAYER AND DALLAS MAVERICK GREAT "ROLANDO BLACKMAN"

Dale Ellis
Dale was a deadly shooter
Sam Perkins should be next
As soon as I saw the channel's name and synopsis I made it one of my only 4 subs
Do Mahmoud abdul rauf
I remember when the great Moses Malone said about Detlef: "That white boy...CAN PLAY!"
You gotta do my man Andrei "AK47" Kirilenko!
Word this man was a problem
Please do one on nick van exel
Video on Derrick McKey?
Respectable player also called the poor man's Larry Bird .
Carmelo Anthony brought me here via George Karl lol
