As someone else mentioned, John Starks. I vividly remember his dunk on Jordan as the Knicks took a 2-0 lead in the '93 ECF. That was the only time the championship Bulls teams fell 2-0 in a series. After that 2-0 lead, well...
That's my people! #504 Boy My grandmother and his mamma (Sister Pack) were best friends when I was a kid. They are Jehovah's Witnesses. Me and my siblings would pick pecans for her in her backyard off er pecan tree. Robert and my cousin were best friends. I always pulled for him during his career USC and later on he was a good player. He did work for the Blazers, Nuggets and even played for our hometown (then Hornets) now Pelicans. I'm glad to see you do his story.
I saw his whole last pro season in my home town team in Lithuania. It was unbelievable to see so much explosiveness from 35 years old. Gr8 player and true pro. Before Westbrook or Rose... There was Robert Pack.
This is REALLY painful. I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. AND, I went to USC my first two years of college, 1991-93 (I came back to the University of Washington at my own choosing). I got to meet Robert Pack. He tried to teach me how to shoot. He was a total NON-shooter, with Portland. But, in that awful Game 5 in 1993-94, we STUPIDLY kept leaving Robert Pack open for 3-Pointers. Pack hit 3/5 3-Pointers, and I'd say THAT made the difference in the game. 1993-94 was one of the BEST times of my life (even with that Sonics loss to Denver), and 1996 was pretty special, too.
Thanks for the video! Pack was my favorite player and the reason I wore #14. I know he typically wasn't a game changer but his intensity and play style was so electric and entertaining. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
He killed us (Sonics) in '94. Games 4 and 5 were OT losses where he made huge contributions. Down three with less than a minute to go in game 4, facing elimination, Pack hit a three to send the game to OT and the Nuggets went on to make history. That loss in '94 was the most painful in my Seattle sports memory. Even worse than 2nd and Goal from the 1. I tip my cap to Robert Pack though. He was a difference maker in a moment when the Denver Nuggets made history by being the first 8 seed to beat a 1 seed (the top overall seed, no less)
I know this guy's name for one reason...he played out of his mind in one of the most memorable games in NBA history--when the Nuggets beat the Sonics in Game 5 to become the first 8-seed to beat a 1-seed (first round was best-of-five back then). I recall a play where Pack went up so high to grab a loose ball, came down akwardly and was alsomt out the rest of the game. In the very next round, they fell game one game short of being the only team to come back from an 0-3 deficit (to the Jazz).
Well done ! Your channel is consistent informative and helps those featured be remembered!! Please consider doing a vid on Felipe Lopez God Shammgod Charles Oakley Terry Cummings Derek fisher or Rik Smits
Man I love this channel. You've covered many of the hidden gem players that I grew up watching, like Robert Pack. I love the beat in the background as well....Please consider: Tyrone Corbin, Tracey Murray, Lamond Murray, Chris Mills, Michael Adams, Elden Campbell and Walt Williams. Thanks.
Robert Pack had mad hops and could dunk on anyone including big men. Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose and Greg Oden get mentioned a lot as "what ifs" for their career. I've always wondered what Pack would have done if he stayed healthy. Maybe not HOF, but he would have had a nice 10 year run playing point guard.
Here are a few suggestions for some players. Nate Robinson Joe Johnson Josh Smith Brandon Jennings Marques Johnson Jamaal Wilkes Vlade Divac Arvydas Sabonis Robert Parish Joe Dumars Micheal "Sugar" Ray Richardson Spencer Haywood Richard “Rip” Hamilton David Lee Flip Murray Dennis Scott Jeff Teague
He would have probably been an even better player if he wasn't injured like he was during his career ...But I had no idea he even played as long as he did despite his injuries slowing him down
Lightning in a bottle . 1 speed . Full out . A blur . Distorted defenses trying to cope with that speed. But it didnt do much for his assist to turnover ratio. Buzz saw .
Robert Pack & Kevin Johnson were the only little guards I could remember back then putting people on a poster
Facts
Spud Webb & John Starks, too!
@@brandenagee9934I’ve never seen Spud put anyone on a poster….John Starks yes 👍🏾
KJ!!

Pack was a phenomenal athlete

you gotta be from Lima, Ohio to know this much.
My apologies. Pack look JUST LIKE a point guard from Lima, OH named Greg Simpson.
@@JaeSprooNah, I'm New Orleans born and raised just like Robert Pack.
Harold Miner and Robert Pack in the same team...wow...practices must have been crazy
WOW
I use to pick Denver in the 90’s on NBA Live and drop buckets with Robert Pack
Same. Dude was a beast on that game.
From Live 95 on Up
Bulls vs Blazers
Robert Pack was an exciting player to watch he caught bodies on the dunk side of the Game very athletic 90s player Great video
That dunk on the sonics in the playoffs was used in the nba on nbc playoff promo
It sure was dang memories
Well done…I had no idea his career was this long…it’s amazing what he produced for such humble beginnings…looked past but never forgotten..
I saw his whole last pro season in my home town team in Lithuania. It was unbelievable to see so much explosiveness from 35 years old. Gr8 player and true pro. Before Westbrook or Rose... There was Robert Pack.
WoW! I saw ur nick and i think, mhmmmI remember old dayz in youtube, FREESTYLE BASKETBALL SCENE! PROPS from Spain!
@@BCNBallin hey, gracias amigo, i remember u too 😁 hope u doing alright!

Robert Pack would be unstoppable in this era
Fire Channel been lookin for content like this

Loved watching Pack play, he was definitely a speed demon.
I thought he was out of the league in the 90s. Glad he was able to have a 10+ year career.
He was a cheat code on NBA Live ‘95.
You ain't lied with that
I was a big fan of Pack when I was younger. Thanks for the spotlight on this man.
I love these. I remember the excitement of watching Pack with the Blazers. Can you please do John Starks?

The nuggets shocked the world with eliminating the sonics. Fun times.
RP was fun to watch!

Definitely my favorite channel. I’d like to recommend Alan Henderson and Theo Ratliff!
Pa ks dunk was the highlight in a depressing Game 1 loss too Chicago when my Blazers plaued the Bulls in the Finals
No one mentioned him because it was all about the more popular NBA players back then especially Jordan at that time
Robert Pack was nasty work
Robert pack was always a great example of hard. Great player. Thanks for the post.
I used to love using Robert pack on the nba live's on sega
Well done once again 👍
Pack and Drazen as the 11th and 12th man on that Portland team is insane.
Robert Pack was NIIIIICCCEEE. He was just 2 injury prone
Thank you 😊
You should do a video on Terell Brandon...one of the most underrated point guards imo.
Can you do a video of Terry Cummings..
Robert Pack was one of the best athletes of the '90s if only he could have played with better control,Pack could have been a great player.
In my Obi-Wan voice: "Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time."
Here are a few suggestions for some players.
Nate Robinson
Joe Johnson
Josh Smith
Brandon Jennings
Marques Johnson
Jamaal Wilkes
Vlade Divac
Arvydas Sabonis
Robert Parish
Joe Dumars
Micheal "Sugar" Ray Richardson
Spencer Haywood
Richard “Rip” Hamilton
David Lee
Flip Murray
Dennis Scott
Jeff Teague
Joe Barry Carroll would be a good choice as well.
Much Respect
Dr.A! Miss you man!
Damn forgot all about Robert Pack nice episode
Another nice vid!
How about Calbert Cheaney?
Fearless taking it too the Hole!! Fearless
Have you done a Lofonzo Ellis video?
Not yet, but he'll get a video in the future for sure
Great vid Robert pack was an exciting player and I hope you do one on Elton Brand next
Big Pack Man… Yes Sirski
#TogetherEvery1AchievesMore TEAM‼️
I remember Pack having major hops
Pack also was double Denzel Washington in Ricochet
He would have probably been an even better player if he wasn't injured like he was during his career ...But I had no idea he even played as long as he did despite his injuries slowing him down
HE WAS A ASST COACH W/OKC & CLIPPERS
I think Pack was more like Ja Morant than D Rose or John Wall. I only saw a bit of him.
Pls do Kevin Martin from the Kings
His stint in Houston was nice too
Can you do Eddy Curry too
Him and Tyson Chandler are both on my list
Damn i remember dude
Pack was on nba jam right?
Can you do rick mahorn please?
U think you can do video on moses malone?
watch every drop!!!
Check out former Celtics Reggie Lewis and Dino Radja.
Unbelievably sad story
Todd Day next please
Not the type of player you might normally do, and I'm not sure who else would want to see it, but...
Mark Eaton.
Heavy
Do chris mullins
Part of that dirty Nuggets squad who booted first seed Seattle… ( Payton & Kemp )
And gen z and millennials proclaim that there weren't any pure athletes in the 90s
Lightning in a bottle . 1 speed . Full out . A blur . Distorted defenses trying to cope with that speed. But it didnt do much for his assist to turnover ratio. Buzz saw .
Pack was like a precursor to Russell Westbrook
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
STEPH CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T GUARD NONE OF THOSE GUARDS BACK THEN
He was nice with the Bullets ✌🏾 from the DMV.All that dunking takes a toll,along with roids
pack use to YAM on folks
I mean when he went down the land and dumped on sean kemp in the playoffs.
Injuries have ruined so many dreams.... Next up... Nick Anderson?
Pack was a nice player who could on big men, he was no D Rose, stop it bruh! 😂
Pack was superior to wall or rose athletically
ROBERT PACK OUT LASTED HAROLD MINER IN THE NBA HE WAS ON THAT PORTLAND TRAILBLAZER TEAM IN 1992 PORTLAND LOST TO THE GOAT JORDAN BULLS
He was the only man Michael Jordan feared
