- This is a look back on Rony Seikaly's career. Rony Seikaly was a big man with a soft touch around the rim scoring via post ups regularly because of great foot work. Coupling with his athleticism to get out and run, dunk, and block shots. While rebounding at a high rate. Going onto star at Syracuse leading the team to the national championship game. Before heading to the NBA becoming the first player to play in the NBA from Lebanon. Defying the odds making out of the war-torn country to become a basketball star. And the first draft pick in Miami Heat's History. Being the team’s first building block and franchise player. Developing quickly to become most improved player. Helping the team have its first winning season and make the playoffs. Then heading to the Warriors then the Magic to star alongside Penny Hardaway. Before ending his career with the Nets dealing with foot injuries.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. Even during the Sonics' glory days 1993-97, our biggest weakness was rebounding. Well, Rony Seikaly was a double figure points AND rebounds CENTER (back when centers were important), in his prime. I wanted the Sonics to go get Rony Seikaly after the 1995-96 season. He proved himself by scoring a career high 17 points, and grabbing a very solid 9 rebounds, when he followed Shaquille O'Neal in Orlando, in 1996-97. To the tune of "You're not a kid anymore:" His name's Rony Seikaly! His name's Rony Seikaly! Say it: Ro--------ny Seikaly!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation about an often overlooked and underrated big man. Hands down this guy was in a class all by himself. Forgot how dominant he was on the offensive side of the court.Totally forgot how awesome his monster dunks were, thanks again for the highlights.
I have a NETS 2 SEIKALY jersey! Seeing these highlights makes me want to wear that jersey, and do some Rony Seikaly post-up moves!
Seik Dog was a beast on the boards!!
RONY was TOUGH!💯💯💯💯💯 LOVED those Orange teams!!!!
Big Ron was great
The pride of Lebanon 🇱🇧
Big time DJ now
I remember him.
Long time Heat fans love the Seikaly, Rice, Smith era. Great hard working guys who put us on the map as an expansion team.
I’m very surprised that the Heat haven’t retired Rony Seikaly jersey yet, I figured they would one day cause when Bosh played for the Heat, he wear the number 1 jersey instead of number 4. Also before that, Caron Butler wore number 4.
I shared a beer with old Ronnie back in 89. I thought I seen him slip something into my drink. anywho 5 hours later I woke up with a weird pain on my backside! That's the life of basketball🏀
U mean your front.
Glen Rice also notable mentions he was their best shooter in Heat history won a ring with the Lakers in 2000, shame he not in the basketball hall of fame or his number retired in Miami.
Glen Rice is severely underrated. Awesome shooting technique, jumping high, arms stretched, high release. Just beautiful.
Great Vid
amazing vids bud . love learning and re-learning about players of yesteryear as a hoop junkie ! keep going man !
Thanks!
I was a fan.
Fun fact, shaq use to lift his legs whilst dunking to look like ronny
Your vids are great....would love to hear what the players total earnings were at the end of the video also
I remember him being solid
Alpie Sengun of the Rockets has a similar skill set just not as strong 💪🏼 as Seikaly, Rony was a Bull in the low post, always good videos can we get Joe Johnson, Steve Smith and Mookie Blaylock!
Seikaly is the third best center in Heat franchise history behind Alonzo Mourning and Shaquille O'Neal. Not just Seikaly could post up, but he could rebound and his career and franchise high with 34 rebounds impress me. I hope you do a video on Junior Bridgeman or Thurl Bailey.
I would counter that by saying Seikaly was actually better as a Heat player than Shaq was with the Heat.
@@Renegade-jk4ux That's your opinion, but the reason why you rank Seikaly over Shaq as the second best Heat center behind Zo was because Seikaly was in his prime and Shaq was a little past his prime.
@@Renegade-jk4ux, Makes no sense! Shaq was already past his prime in Miami. It would make sense to Compare the players when they’re both in their primes. 🤫
Can you please do Alex English scored the most points in the 1980s
Can you make vid on AK-47 Andrei Krialenko
Tony Allen or Rony Seikaly next please.
Great video bro!! The highlights, music, and commentary all made a great combination!! Keep it up fam
Rony was a really good player I even watched him at Syracuse, crazy story though once a NBA executive said that he wasn’t able to trade for Rony because players on the team didn’t want him to get all the women lol that’s beyond player lol
❤🇱🇧❤️
Rony's bodies in Miami: 1,000 women
Shaq said he took the 2 knee pull up hang off the rim dunk from Big Sike
And its been his logo on the shoes since day 1
Only available at Walmart since Payless Shoe Source went out of business
That's another thing he stole from a fellow player.
…. FUNNY TITLE!
rony is my cousin lmao
Not a good decision, Ron. By not going to the Utah Jazz.
Wasn't he of Greek origins? Seikalidis I believe was his actual last name.
He is lebanese but lived in Greece for a while before traveling to the states
