- Glen Rice began with an incredible college basketball career at the University of Michigan leading the team to the first and only NCAA Championship in program history. After this, he would be drafted 4th overall, by the Miami Heat in their second year of existence where he would be the first star in team history leading them to their first playoff appearances and winning season alongside guys like Rony Seikaly and Steve Smith. After the 1995 season, Pat Riley took over in Miami and his first move was a blockbuster trade that sent Rice to the Charlotte Hornets for Alonzo Mourning.
In Charlotte, Rice would have the best years of his career alongside guys like Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason and Vlade Divac, where in his three years, he would get 3 consecutive all star selections, and NBA all star game MVP, and two playoff appearances, while finishing 3rd in the league in scoring in 1997. During the lockour season in 1999, Rice would be involved in another blockbuster trade, when he was shipped to the powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers for Eddie Jones, where he would be paired with Shaquille O’neal and Kobe Bryant. And it would work as he helped bring a championship to the Lakers in 2000. The rest of Rice’s career saw him bounce around from the Knicks, to the Rockets, to the Clippers before calling it quits in 2004.
Rice would retire from the league as a top 5 3 point shooter of all time and finish his career with the 8th most points scored in the 90s, his game was ahead of his time and with some of the players getting inducted to the hall of fame, Glen Rice is someone who seems like they have the resume for such an honour, but only time will tell for G-Money, Glen Rice.

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.
He would thrive in today's game with his three point shooting ability and would easily average 25 plus a game.
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.
Oh yes indeed. Rice was so good. And, he could transcend eras. He's the prototype wing for today's game. %100.
Hall of fame is for BASKETBALL - not just the NBA. Rice is a Hall of famer based off both college and NBA achievement
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.
And olympics and he has a ring as a top 3 scorer on a team
Highly underrated player
Sarah Palin agrees with that statement
@@yell0wberry😂
Rice was a lights out shooter when he got rolling
and he was lights off when he wasn't rolling ! Stop doing drugs
Non the less Rice was a player

He should defintely be in HOF 💯💯
That politic shit i tell ya smh
G-Money is an all time underrated player.
Criminally underrated.
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
That was my nickname growing up…
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
@@PIP...33 you clearly don't know what u talking about.and just wanted to.say something negative
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 😮
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.
Glen Rice’s best years was Charlotte
#TogetherEvery1AchievesMore TEAM‼️
His heat years was very underrated
Facts 🫵🏾
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.
Agreed rice in LA is a big reason why they won 🏆
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.
#TogetherEvery1AchievesMore TEAM‼️
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
i'll rank the best scorers being four legends ever in this EXACT order #1 wilt chamberlain #2 kareem abdul-jabbar #3 michael jordan and #4 larry bird
Definitely one of the best shooters in the 1990's
He smashed palin too!
I loved the way he was shooting the ball , not flat , the ball went hight and fallout ,nothing but net.
We definitely didn’t forget him in the #305 🤟🏾heat nation
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.
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!
#NeverForgotten
Glenn Rice was the Truth before the Truth!
always LOVED his shooting form
I’d definitely watch a. video on Steve Smith, he’s another underrated 90s player.
I always loved watching him shoot. Alan Houston and Steve Smith as well
Should be in the hall of fame!
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
This channel is 🔥🔥🔥. Glen Rice had that work! Rice & Allan Houston were my favorite shooters in the late 90s.
If Mitch Richmond is in the HOF, then Glen Rice should be in the HOF!
Rice should be in the hall.
Glen Rice is the greatest Charlotte Hornet
Alonzo Mourning?? GTFOH. His bitch ass was jealous of Larry Johnson
Rice was great and Hornets unis & court was the best
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.
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
Hell yes he is a HOF!!!!! Next up.... Can you do a video on Joe Johnson?
I love this series
I am a huge Glen Rice fan..!! Joining the Lakers kind of cast a shadow on how good he really was..
G-Money🏀🏀🏀
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.
Dope channels these profile breakdowns are very detailed
Nice to see Glen Rice get some love.❤
Can we get Mitch Richmond next?
I've been waiting for this. Thank you
The purest shooter...one of my fav players to watch...also a good rebounder..
FPP is an Upper echelon sports historian. I wish you all the success 🏆
I appreciate it!
One of the smoothest jump shots in the game. Pure greatness.
I’ve been a fan since you started the channel good work and rice had a pretty jumpshot I remember him being on the cover of in the zone 98. I would love to see a video on my favorite player growing up Mr H20 Allen Houston he was one of the most underrated players ever
That UM team pic with the blue and maze dunks 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Favorite player all time
Tyvm 😊 🙏 i love glen rice an dosent get his love first lakers team
I was real young, but remember following him in the '88 and '89 NCAA Tournaments...great player
Had the prettiest jumper ever!! His follow through and release was impeccable
Glen was my guy on NBA showtime which was crazy because 8 year old me was obsessed with Kobe and Shaq lol
Rice was a bucket back in the day.. lasers.
Hell yeahhhhhhhhh!?? He won in college and in the nba!?!
Gratitude.
Ps Peace to Flint MI
Pps Peace to my Fam in The 907 (Anchorage, AK)
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.
Yess, he was fun to watch
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
He should be considered for the hall. After you look at the numbers
He does he was great
Rice deserves. HOF spot for sure
If he had a better handle... He would of been unstoppable.
Glen Rice was awesome. Loved him at Michigan and he arguably gave Charlotte one of their best seasons in franchise history.
Home Town Flint Michigan baby I THINK HE SHOULD BE IN THE HOF ONE OF THE THE NBA GREATEST SHOOTER
My favorite player although I'm a Knicks fan. So glad I found a Knicks jersey of him in my size matching my Hornets jersey.
I love this channel
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
HUH.His wife did that ??? I didn't know this,most pro players have a lawyer handle those things. LOL.
Growing up in flint in the 1980`s every kid wanted to be like Glen Rice
Never forgotten
Do steve smith as well
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.
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.
He's flat out top 5 shooter of all time to me
Great video keep it up and do one one Steve Francis
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 😅
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
Can you do Jason Richardson? He was my favorite non star player growing up.
Steve Smith and Rony Seikaly were admirable additions to that Miami Heat team. Glen deserves that Hall of fame induction
G Money was a good one! I had his Hornets jersey! One of the smoothest jump shots in the game!
Glen Rice , the original Dame Lillard
He was a beast in 1989
AN EMPHATIC---->>>YES!!!
You always do the player im thinking of next big dog Robinson do him next
I think Grant Hill gave him that work already
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.
We need a video on Steve Francis aka the franchise
Trash bag
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.
Great job
He belongs
The exact type of player that would kill it today. If Bogdanovic can score 20 a game on a good team a taller, better scorer, more athletic Rice would be an 2 nd pr 3rd all NBA type of player
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
The Lakers had a hard time finding a guy to be 3rd option like him even if they won championships. He added a different dynamic.
Eddie Jones could have got traded back in Glen Rices slot alongside kobe and Shaq because Eddie Jones was more of a versatile slasher and passer that could shoot the 3pt shot at a solid % around 2000 2001 .
Glen rice fantastic shooter
one of my fav players back then...96-98 Rice was different, esp the 97 version. I think when he was on the Lakers, he never got that groove back. The Lakers system I felt didn't fit him. He should def be in the HOF...u gotta do Shawn Kemp, Vin Baker, Dana Barros, Antoine Walker, Dan Majerle
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 (👍)
Thank you
I loved that Charlotte Hornets team. WIth Glen Rice and Larry Johnson.
Is that Antoine Joubert wearing #11?!!!!! Lol, man o man! I almost forgot about the DETROIT LEGEND!!!
You should do a vid on Antawn Jamison
