He really hit his absolute peak in 96/97, precisely at the All-Star Game, where he won ASG MVP. He went on an absoulte tear after that, was able to prolong it till the end of the 97/98 season. Then he got traded to LA and a reduced role plus age caugth up with him. It also seemed that he wasn't able to stay in great shape as he got older. Still, a heck of a player and one of my favorites to watch in the mid-90s
I think the lakers held him back In that system, he wasn’t happy. Looking back, he shouldn’t have been so selfish because he played on mediocre teams for so long and should have been happy to win finally. Wonder besides the lakers during that time would glen rice have fit in? A situation where can just shoot but be a second star or first option on offense. Stockton and Malone with rice would have been good.
@@RoyPage1970yes because aside from both deadly from 3 and mid-range, Richmond was a stronger finisher and also played tougher defense...but would also like to see Rice be in the HOF, too. Rice one of the greats 🤩
Just seeing this vid.. and he won States twice in HS. Idk about HoF but as a fan of the OG Hornets I’ve been a fan of his game for a while (let’s no talk about defense tho 😬😜)
@@boywithcap if we gonna talk defense, the. Dominique Wilkins is up for debate lol. So let’s not. They don’t look at high school accolades btw. Even the worst guy on a ACC team was all everything in HS.
8th most points in the NBA during the 1990s, retired with the 5th most 3s made, 3x All-Star, 1x All-Star MVP, led league in 3-pt FG % in 96-97, 1996 Long Distance Shootout champion, record for most points in an NCAA Tournament run, Michigan’s all-time leading scorer. Has won championships in both the NCAA and NBA. He definitely has a case to be in the HoF with these accolades/recognition. We’ve seen players get in with less.
Glenn Rice was a walking bucket. I can never forget G Money. he still holds the NCAA Tournament Record of 184 points in 6 games. he set the record in 1989. and in the NBA he hit more 3 point shots then any other NBA Player drafted before him. I remember when the 1996/97 allstar game came on I told my friends that if they gave him the ball he would win MVP and he did, that season he was on fire all year. #dantana773
Yea , that entire season was cold He started heating His final 2 season in Miami But Man, He had that season in Charlotte where I swear He was scoring 40 every night it seemed like He was always on SportsCenter having a BiG Game I love Him & LJ together
no he wasnt he was slowest sf in league no dribbling speed or vertical and due to slow feet he could average defend only post area. MJ competition was so weak PIPPEN LOCKED ALL THESE PLAYERS WITH EASE
DUDE,you're killing it with these-GREAT-videos !!! I was a huge fan of RICE's when he played in the nba,X-mas has come early. LOL. Had to watch it twice.
I remember him fondly from his Hornets years! Also was one of my favourites in LA aswell. One could call that '00 championship trio of Shaq, Kobe and Rice somewhat a big 3 even. I loved Rice's smooth and fluid jumper during the 90s. MJ and Hakeem were my favourites but Rice and Reggie Miller followed close behind thanks to their beautiful jumpers.
Reggie miller is one of my favourite players of all time, you are the first who calls his jumper beautiful :) For me Mitch Richmond had the smoothest jumper of the 90s, so sad the warriors traded him.
the 2000 lakers weren't as elite as the 1994 and 1995 rockets and i'll rank these two legends and two stars in this EXACT order #1 hakeem olajuwon #2 shaquille o'neal #3 clyde drexler and #4 kobe bryant
This is what I try to explain to the youngsters. There were plenty of shooters back then, they were just playing in a big man's era. So they couldn't jack up 3s like this era players. Imagine if Rice had the freedom to shoot 8 3s pg.
Great video. Rice was a terrific scorer. How about Alex English? He was the man with the Nuggets during the 1980s. Tremendous scorer and a truly nice guy, Alex didn't have a big ego and never went crazy drawing attention to himself.
English probably the most underrated player of the 80s along with Bernard King's greatness and was a dominant scorer, even leading the NBA in '83, but maybe playing in Denver hurt his popularity some instead of a major market like NY, LA, Chicago, Boston or Houston for instance. He was great in the movie Amazing Grace and Chuck also which was and is still an underrated movie also. Somebody give this man his roses and let him smell them before it's too late...lol!!👍
I've been to see Rice play live in '96 against MJ and always had such a smooth jumper and his play in '89 NCAA Tournament that Michigan won was legendary!
Basketball HOF takes all levels of competition into consideration. Rice graduted from Michigan as the all time leading scorer in big ten history and won a national championship his senior year. Definite HOF career
GMoney you were my high school favorite player… 20years later We met in person here in Miami and was in Awe! Forgot to tell you how you were my favorite.
Glen Rice was a great shooter and to me deserves more credit as a player in the NBA and I believe he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Glen Rice is my third favorite player ever behind Jordan and Kobe. He's why I became a Hornets fan and still suffer as one to this day lol. I have a signed bobble head he sent me and I've talked to him through Instagram. He is a whole different level of class than most. Great family man and so proud and supportive of his kids. The league needs more guys like Glen Rice. Absolutely should be in the HOF. He did everything. He was a hallmark on a Heat expansion team and gave them relevance. Helped do the same thing in Charlotte. Won a college championship, an NBA All Star MVP and NBA title. He is an all-time great shooter and arguably would have had even more success in today's NBA than the 90s. He improved every team he went to at a high level and did it with an aura of professionalism and leadership. That's the definition of a HOFer IMO.
Thanks you so much for creating this channel and in educating people on the greatest players people forget about!! This is what ESPN should be doing🔥🏀🏀
Glen rice is one of the most underrated players ever!! A great player with the heart of a lion and a stroke that you could set to music!! That Michigan team that won the ncaa tournament was a team for the ages.. rumeal Robinson at the point.. Sean Higgins.. glen rice.. Loy vaught and terry mills!! Top 5 all time greatest collegiate basketball team
GLEN RICE AND KANYE WEST CAN PASS AS IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHERS. NEVER THE LESS BIG FAN OF THIS OUTSTANDING CHANNEL THAT PRIMARILY COVERS EPIC-LEGENDARY 90S FORGOTTEN PLAYERS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK (👍)
ANOTHER great video. Loved Rice. Maybe not totally forgotten but definitely always underrated. I would love to see vids for Shawn Kemp and Shareef Abdur Rahim
One of my favorite players of all-time! I was fortunate to see the 1988 Michigan Wolverines beat Florida in the 2nd round here in Salt Lake at the Huntsman Center on the University of Utah's campus. Rice was a beast until his wife negotiated his contract while Rice was a Laker😂 i think she was the reason the lakers parted ways with Rice
Glen Rice based on stats and achievements earned a spot in The Hall of Fame, I hope he gets his proper respect. Plus Bob Dandridge. I think Antwon Jamison and Shawn Kemp as well. Cedric Maxwell and Chauncey Billups also.
Hated seeing Eddie Jones go but it was a great trade. At the time he was a better player and fit for the Lakers. I remember being so hype that we were getting him and it led to the chip. He always delivered especially with that 3 ball
Great vid man! And your right, he was one of the greatest all-around scorers of all time, not just a sharpshooter. Rice was SOOOOOO much more than just a phenomenal shooter, it really annoys the crap outa me the way he's described by modern sports media as being a one-dimensional spot up shooter. He didn't become that until he was at LA, following foot/knee injuries - which severely limited his explosiveness and athleticism. People who watched him would know that while at Michigan and through to his time playin for both the Heat and then Hornets - that he actually was also a dangerous slasher with underrated finishing ability. His lack of great quickness, nor good ball-handling ability - was made up for by the fact that due to him being such a feared and deadly shooter, all he'd have to do was make the slightest up fakes and it would routinely send his defender souring off the ground to contest the faked jump-shot, allowing him to drive to the hoop and finish. He also was simply unguardable in the post along with being a good rebounder. Though he never was a great defender, he certainly wasn't the worst either, like how he's often portrayed
Is it possible to have videos for the following players: Joe Dumars Steve Smith Jayson Williams Mitch Richmond Wayman Tisdale Jeff Hornacek Terry Porter Ron Harper Kenny Anderson Walt Williams Stacey Augmon A.C. Green

The 8th most points in the 90s is a serious stat
I believe he was was highest scorer as SF in the 90s too. Ahead of guys like Dominique Wilkins , Pippen etc.
If Mitch Richmond who played 14 seasons in the NBA and missed the playoffs 10x then I think Glen deserves to be in the hof
For real Glen Rice was that
Dude
Richmond was a better player than rice
@@RoyPage1970yes because aside from both deadly from 3 and mid-range, Richmond was a stronger finisher and also played tougher defense...but would also like to see Rice be in the HOF, too. Rice one of the greats 🤩
Both of them should be in the HOF
He would thrive in today's game with his three point shooting ability and would easily average 25 plus a game.
Hall of fame is for BASKETBALL - not just the NBA. Rice is a Hall of famer based off both college and NBA achievement

He should defintely be in HOF 💯💯
That politic shit i tell ya smh
Absolutely
Highly underrated player
Sarah Palin agrees with that statement
@@yell0wberry😂
Oh yes indeed. Rice was so good. And, he could transcend eras. He's the prototype wing for today's game. %100.

What Rice and Smith both with the HEAT once upon a time 😮😮 that’s killer shooting
I think if they played with each other during their prime they would have had more success with that shooting but that putrid defense 😮
Glen Rice’s best years was Charlotte
#TogetherEvery1AchievesMore TEAM‼️
His heat years was very underrated
Facts 🫵🏾
Criminally underrated.
Thank you so very much. My favorite player was mitch richmond with rice behind him. One of the prettiest jumpshots ever
Mitch,they called him the; ROCK.

He smashed palin too!
We definitely didn’t forget him in the #305 🤟🏾heat nation
#NeverForgotten
Glenn Rice was the Truth before the Truth!
Rice was nice. Both with the 🔥 and Hornets
I loved the way he was shooting the ball , not flat , the ball went hight and fallout ,nothing but net.
I remember him fondly from his Hornets years! Also was one of my favourites in LA aswell. One could call that '00 championship trio of Shaq, Kobe and Rice somewhat a big 3 even.
I loved Rice's smooth and fluid jumper during the 90s. MJ and Hakeem were my favourites but Rice and Reggie Miller followed close behind thanks to their beautiful jumpers.

I’d definitely watch a. video on Steve Smith, he’s another underrated 90s player.
Should be in the hall of fame!
always LOVED his shooting form
I always loved watching him shoot. Alan Houston and Steve Smith as well
Glen Rice is the greatest Charlotte Hornet
Alonzo Mourning?? GTFOH. His bitch ass was jealous of Larry Johnson
Basketball HOF takes all levels of competition into consideration. Rice graduted from Michigan as the all time leading scorer in big ten history and won a national championship his senior year. Definite HOF career
This channel is 🔥🔥🔥. Glen Rice had that work! Rice & Allan Houston were my favorite shooters in the late 90s.
Hell yes he is a HOF!!!!! Next up.... Can you do a video on Joe Johnson?
I am a huge Glen Rice fan..!! Joining the Lakers kind of cast a shadow on how good he really was..
Yeah true bit at least he won a ring
FPP is an Upper echelon sports historian. I wish you all the success 🏆
I appreciate it!
Rice was a bucket back in the day.. lasers.
I've been waiting for this. Thank you
Nice to see Glen Rice get some love.❤
Can we get Mitch Richmond next?

He does he was great
Steve Smith and Rony Seikaly were admirable additions to that Miami Heat team. Glen deserves that Hall of fame induction
Great video coverage 💯

Yes yes and yes
Never forgotten
Growing up in flint in the 1980`s every kid wanted to be like Glen Rice
Sherman Douglas was drafted same year as Rice, not in the previous draft. Great video though as I was a big fan of G Money when he was with the Heat.
G Money was a good one! I had his Hornets jersey! One of the smoothest jump shots in the game!
Awesome video as always! Enjoying discovering the whole career of all these unsung 90's heroes!! Usually I only remember them in one or two uniforms 😅
If he had a better handle... He would of been unstoppable.
Remember he was the main piece the heat sent to Charlotte for mourning
Don’t forget Loy Vaught.!!
