Mitch is certainly in the top 5 most underrated players ever IMHO. Who is the most underrated player ever in your opinion?
Sidney Moncrief, Marques Johnson, Alvin Robertson, Alex English, Earl Monroe, Ray Allen, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney, etc.....
Sometimes they're not underrated but forgotten
Marc Aguirre.
Moncrief, David Thompson, and Nique are definitely on the short list too. English. Agree on Mitch... great defender too. Not a lot of wasted motion on offense, similar to Jordan. Great fundamentals. Strong asf. Didn't realize he averaged more 3 pt attempts than Dirk. That Run TMC team took a lot of 3's for that era, and were crazy uptempo. So much fun to watch.
Agree with the guy above that says it's more like they're forgotten in general. As true aficionados don't underrate a guy like Richmond or Thompson. Nique and Moncrief however being left out of the top 50 is flat out underrated.
@@herbertnelsonjr.9899 Moses Malone? Most people old enough to compile such a list have him in their top 20. I have him 15'th.
I'm pretty sure Michael Jordan was once quoted saying Mitch Richmond was the toughest matchup he ever faced.
Excellent comment. Had to look it up after reading this, and dang, you're absolutely right. Wish I had included that in the video
@@jonnyarnett no better endorsement for Richmond hey.
I just made the same comment. I'm from the Sacramento area and Mitch was basically the only highlight we had in the 90's. I remember Jordan saying that many times.
It’s on his 1989-90 Hoops basketball card.
I guess you can say that MJ can smell what The Rock is cooking.
Dennis Johnson is up there with the underrated players too. 3x champion, Finals MVP, best defensive guard of his era, and Larry Bird said he was the greatest teammate he ever played with. Sounds like the resume of a pretty great player.
He was an all-nba talent in Phoenix, but he was later overshadowed big Boston's Big 3. I doubt he minded though.
The Rock and MJ had some very good battles vs each other in the 90's.
Glen Rice also deserves some love
Mitch Richmond was shooting 5-6 threes a game before it got popular. Oh yeah, 39% for his career, also. He was one of my favorite players as a kid because he could pretty much do it all and he wasn't just one of those set-shot three point shooters. He could get it off the screen, off the dribble, on the pull up, drive and dunk, shoot contested mid-range jumpers, whatever you wanted. The guy was smooth. Glad he got a ring in LA his last season, he deserved it. Mitch and young Ray Allen were very similar kinds of players.
Mitch Richmond, Bernard King, Eddie Jones, Rolando Blackman, Mark Aguirre, Mark Price, Vinny Johnson, Orlando Woolridge, Adrian Dantley, and Alex English come to mind when I think underrated. Especially Mitch and Price.
Mark Price ... Was so far ahead of his time.
Glen Robinson, Shawn Kemp, Vin Baker, Nate McMillan, Dale Ellis, Bob McAdoo, Tim Hardaway, Penny Hardaway, Horace Grant, Sam Perkins, Detlef Schrempf, Chauncey Billups
Great list. Especially Eddie jones, one of the best 3 and D players of all time in my opinion, maybe THE best. Alex English led the 80s decade in points. Not mj, not bird, english
Mitch was The Rock before Dwayne exploded into mainstream
EA's NBA Live, you could easily score 60 every time on that game...Mitch Richmond was a beast.
Loved Run TMC!! Mitch is great choice for this
TMC stand for?
@@reginaldkingii6057 Tim Hardaway
Mitch Richmond
Chris Mullin
He was the second best shooting guard in the 90's. Jordan routinely said Mitch was the most difficult player to play against at that position.
Great offensive player and great on defense too.
He wasnt better than clyde
@@FuShengAlex I think Mitch was better than Clyde, but there's definitely room for debate. I think Mitch was a better defensive player for sure and his offensive game was pretty evenly matched with Clyde for the most part. Both great players though without a doubt.
I think it was Reggie Miller 2nd to Jordan but Mitch Richmond sure could play he’s just another guy that got stuck in the Jordan era that got overlooked
@@ericm9686 Mitch doesn't get enough props because there wasn't much flash to his game. He would routinely abuse people in the post and no 2 guard could consistently back him down on defense.
I also recall Jerry Reynolds (who did just about everything for the Kings organization) stating that Mitch would have had a way higher scoring average if he cut off his big toe.
SO many shots with the foot on the line...
@@ericm9686 Fuck no Clyde made the finals 3 times and won a championship where as Mitch never made it past the 2nd round are you out of your mind. On top of that Clyde had better stats. There is 0 argument for Mitch. Clyde was so much better it’s not even funny.
Also in 15 season Clyde Drexler had 135.6 Winshares where as in 14 seasons Mitch Richmond had 79.3 Winshares. That’s a ginormous difference. There is absolultey no Goldman way Mitch was better than Clyde stop it.
Bout time someone gives this man his props.
In Northern California he's right up there with Payton to us.
are u talking about gary payton
@@KISS_MY_CONVERSE Yes. Also from Northern California. Mitch Richmond was a big deal here. Ever see the city Air Jordan X (10)? Richmond had his own colorway..... This is back in '94
@@pappagetti I remember those colorways. Black and Purple with a 2 on it. I always wanted them shoes.
@@pappagetti jeez thats tough.
His last name is also a city in the bay?
Woooooow
Just this morning I was thinking « Richmond is soooo underrated »
And hours later this video is uploaded and appears in my feed 😱
We live in the Matrix people!!!!!!
Loved Mitch Richmond. Was Jordans toughest opponent to guard and Mitch would get physical with Jordan on defense. Very underrated player.
I was in high school when he played with the kings and he was one of my favorite players at the time and my friends just didn't get it. He was beast
Glen rice, elvin hayes. and the 1st defensive player of the year sidney moncrief
Chris Mullins, Larry Johnson, Steve Smith, Jalen Rose, Dikembe Mutumbo.
Mookie Blaylock, Glen Rice, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Axle, Mark Price, Chris Webber, Jerry Stackhouse,Tim Hardaway, Tom Gugliota
@@AceMcSchooly Latrell Sprewell, Sam Cassell, Jamaal Mashburn, Allan Houston, Larry Johnson,
Tim Hardaway, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Steve Smith, Mitch Richmond,
Chris Mullin.
michael redd
None of you mentioned Mark Price. Kinda sad if you ask me.
@@JimmyButlersdreads There are many players that can be listed. Mark Price is a great addition to the list!
Good call on this one. Definitely way up there on Overlook list
insta-like man
the youngins need to know!
I grew up watching Mitch play, he was one of the best in the league when he was playing.
Damn you Nelson for trading Mitch. Ran into Mitch doing the pregame show before the Warriors Nuggets playoff series in 2013. I happened to have had his Jersey on too, he signed my jersey with no issues and was such a class act.
In hindsight it was a bad trade but the Warriors had to get bigger and not just bigger but bigger yet still skilled , Billy Owens fit that bill he just didn't have the impact Coach Nelson anticipated.
Always liked Richmond for his great outside shooting. Really a 2 guard that was ahead of his time and he would be insane in today’s game - with no hand checking! The Warriors trade baffled many for years to come. They wanted to get a big man so they traded for Owens who was all hype at that point - and who wasn’t really a big man anyway. When it comes to 2 guards we always look at MJ and Kobe as the gold standard - but I also appreciate the guys who can make it rain - from Tony to Byron Scott to Dumars to Richmond to Ray Allen to Klay.
Johnny, NOBODY appreciates this video more than I do. My brother is est friends with Eric Housen (look him up) and b/c of him was a ball boy for the Ws from 89-92. I had the opportunity to meet him many times and cried for 2 days when Nellie traded him for Billy O. It's a damn shame Run TMC lasted for only 2 seasons as there was NO better show in the league than those 3. I'm sure you can find it, but MJ was quoted as saying that Mitch was THE biggest challenge for him when in his prime and who reminded him of himself the most. Can't thank you enough for spreading the Gospel of Mitch!
Mitch was a solid and consistent player all around player. Very athletic before knee injury. He had some a solid post up move 15-17 ft turn around shot. Unselfish player and very nice guy from everything I've heard and read. I still have his jersey.
IM FROM OAKLAND AND THIS IS VERY TRUE. WE ALL REMEMBER MITCH OUT HERE BUT HE HARDLY GETS MENTIONED ANYWHERE ELSE. HE USED TO BE SERVING SHOOTING GUARDS.
Oh I forgot....if we are doing underrated players of the 90s....please do Kevin Johnson. Seriously underrated
We don't talk about him
Baylor Stockton and barkley so underrated
Run TMC. People under 20 wouldn’t know who they were. Nowadays if you have a triple double you’re the best
Richmond was one of the most stable players ever avg more than 20 p 11 from his 14 season as an NBA player. Also Adrian Dantley, a great scorer and a HoF who avg 24.5 ppg at his NBA career ( avg 7 times more than 20 ppg and 5 times more than 30 points)
MR IS the most underrated player in NBA history by far.
Mitch Richmond was right behind Jordan for at least 85% of his career. When asked about it he said, I should have slammed more. He got no credit while he was listed #2 for all those years.
Cel Drexler?!
Dammit Jonny. U did it again.. great vid my dude.
Andrew Toney is the most underrated player of all time. He was one of the best players in the 80s and he is largely forgotten due to injuries.
Glen Rice is forgotten as well
Mitch Richmond is all I'd hear when I played NBA jam 99 lol. Dude was dunking and popping shots like crazy lol
I think Pistol Pete is underrated but his case is weird. Like, my top 10 greatest players of all time goes like this: MJ > a big gap > (Bird, Kareem or Magic in any order for 2-4) > The Big Fundamental > Black Mamba > The Dream > Shaq > Wilt > Bill
BUT, when i make a best possible starting 5 all time, it looks like this: At the 1) Pistol Pete 2) MJ 3) Bird 4) Duncan 5) Hakeem
I used to have Magic at the 1 and i understand everyone who does but the more and more Pistol footage i watch, the more i realize that he had the best ball handling skills, IQ, and passing abilities of all time. Everything Magic could do, he could do better. I've still yet to see any other player throw full court curve ball passes or backward jump shots like he could do, in games. From the time he was a little boy to the time he retired, Pistol ALWAYS had a basketball in his hands. Not even MJ practiced that much.
Key Skywalker How do you have Tim Duncan that high on your all time list. With that logic, Bill Russell should be above Shaq and Wilt
Peter Virden unless you were a spurs fan and watched him play his 19 seasons, its understandable that you don't see it. He wasn't flashy. His clothes were cheap.
Never missed the playoffs in his 19 seasons i the West.
One of the highest winning ratios in NBA history.
5-1 in the loaded West.
Beat Shaq and Kobe
Always made a defensive team.
Consistent AF every night with at least a Double Double every night.
Did what made the team win instead of his bank account.
Clutch
2-1 against lechoke, with 2 of those times being old.
Loyal
Ejected only once and it was for smiling on the bench.
Best Power Forward of all time.
He was a role model to all his teammates.
Humble.
Key Skywalker So I don’t disagree with Tim Duncan being a top 10 player all time, in fact I would make an argument that you could place him ahead of Kareem. I disagree with the inconsistency in your logic. 1) There is a decent sized list of NBA greats who haven’t missed the playoffs, that’s not really the best individual stat line.
2) 5-1 Finals record, a players/teams Finals record can be a horrible stat to look at from face value. Jerry West was 1-8 in the Finals which is god awful, but isn’t going to the Finals and losing better than not going at all? Obviously this doesn’t take anything away from Duncan’s near perfect record, it’s just Finals records in general are not good reference points.
3) Shaq and Kobe hadn’t accomplished anything yet when the Spurs beat them. 1998-1999 Lakers were not the same Lakers that went on to win a 3peat in the Finals.... bottom line. This doesn’t take anything away from the Spurs but let’s not take “Shaq and Kobe’s defeat” out of context.
4) The fact that you referenced an NBA legend as Lechoke definitely shows your bias about certain accomplishments or eras in the league. But just because you’re underselling LBJ doesn’t necessarily mean you’re overselling Duncan so we’ll just ignore that
5) you seem to be obsessed with Tim Duncan’s personality traits that have nothing to do with basketball skill or accomplishments ie referencing his humbleness, loyalty, and cheap clothes. Those details are just irrelevant to this whole discussion
@Peter Virden 1) Sure but how many of them did it for 19 seasons straight, win 5 rings, 3 Finals MVP's, 2 MVP's, always was on a All Defensive team while maintaining a win ration of .710 in the loaded conference?
2) Finals records without context are irrelevant. For instance, leflops 9 trips to the finals sounds impressive until you realize that the east was so weak that they had to do away with the East v West all star game format. To get to his 6 trips to the finals, Duncan had to get through prime Shaq, KG, Yao Ming, Dirk, Stoudemire, Gasol, Divoc, vets like Malone, Hakeem and Ewing and when he got old, younglings like Griffin. These are just the ones at his position. This is also why I have Duncan over Kobe just slightly, because Kobe didn't face this level of competition at his position oh and without Shaq, Kobe might make one or two of those finals but he ain't winning more than 1 without a miracle.
3) You're thinking about 1999, which I'd like to point out was not easy as Kobe was already putting up big numbers. I was referring to 2003 when the Spurs final put a stop to the then undefeated force that was Shaq and Kobe.
4) Of course I'm going to disrespect a man who ignorantly and arrogantly called himself the greatest of all time. LeSellOut brought this on himself. As for eras, my allegiance is with the truth. If somebody matchs MJ's efficiency, defense and accolades while putting up the 45ppg MJ would be putting up today, I'll concede that if that player maintains that peak for 10 straight seasons, he would be better than MJ. I don't hate any era I just have a lenses to read what the numbers really mean. Why? Because the context shows that theres never been an easier era to for offense because hand checking is banned, bigs can't defend the post for more than 3 seconds, any contact is a foul and a 90's foul can be an ejection with fines today, the shot clock resets to 14 instead of 24 creating more processions per a game.
5) I mention Duncans personality traits because without them the greatest trio in NBA history would not have been possible. Duncan shared the spot light, never let his ego create a problem like Shaq and Kobe did or Leflop and Irving, and he took pay cuts to keep his winning team together. He cared about having the best team possible, not being the best player possible. Also another reason I have him just above Kobe. I mentioned his clothes were cheap to emphasize the point why he is often overlooked. He never drew unnecessary attention to himself.
Key Skywalker 1) Absolutely, Timmy was a beast of an iron man and the Spurs wouldn’t hold that record without him on the team. But if you want to add in further context, like you did with pointing out LBJ dominating the weaker E Conf saying he would have never made that many Finals appearances in the West, you are absolutely right. But Duncan would have never pulled his amazing act of playoff dominance off without coming into such a perfect situation with the Spurs. He had the veteran experience of David Robinson to pull from immediately, an up coming future HOF coach Popovich to guide him, and an overall organization that gives a shit about its players. Imagine if Duncan had been drafted to the Knicks! Or the fucking Cavs, they wouldn’t have a title! So these circumstances contributed a giant amount to Duncan’s success, but you have to tip your hat to Timmy D bc he took every bit of advantage of it, ceased every moment and never took it for granted.
2) I feel like you could put Duncan over Kobe if you’re strictly comparing accolades and being completely objective about the situation. But narratives play a big part in a superstars legacy: game winning shots, intense rivalries, etc. You seem like you’re more into the old school basketball play style so you should be able to appreciate that. For instance, Kobe Bryant defeating a HOF Boston Celtics team that has a legendary rivalry with the Lakers since the beginning of the league. Spurs championship against the Cavs and Nets cannot compare to something like that you know. Not all rings are equal
3) So the Spurs beat Shaq and Kobe in their early phase and then much later in their bickering phase. That is no small task by any means. But LA was untouched for 3 straight years. Although at that point it’s just up to personal preference. Either you a lakers fan or spurs fan in that scenario. Neither answer is wrong, whether you want to say “Shaq and Kobe beat themselves” or say “the spurs were the ultimate downfall of the Lakers”. But Orlando knocked the Bulls out of the playoffs when MJ first returned, team stability is important. Also Spurs have never won back to back championships, that definitely says something.
4) At that point you’re just getting into circumstances again, put players in different situations and eras you’re going to get varying results. LBJ has a case to call himself the GOAT, just like every guy on your Top 10 list above us has a case. And I don’t know why you and other people are dead set on comparing LBJ to Jordan. It’s contradictory since LBJ isn’t even on your list, and yet you immediately compare him to your number one spot MJ? And comparing Lebron to Jordan in general is always a major downfall of judgement. They as players couldn’t be more opposite, Mike was a regular sized guard who was ball dominant and contorted his body to get around defenders making a living playing half court knocking down jumpers while Lebron is a giant athletic freak who likes to pass the ball or in his hay day just go straight over people (I’m aware Jordan was also dunking on everyone) while he’s absolutely dominant in transition. LBJ is more comparable to Magic or Larry Bird. Although Luka Doncic is starting to look like a young Lebron minus the athleticism, and if it wasn’t for LBJ then a guy like Luka wouldn’t even exist in the NBA today. Who do you think LD grew up watching and modeled his game after?
5) Everything you’ve just said about Duncan is true. But the shit about Shaq/Kobe and LBJ/Kyrie is just taken out of context. Kobe hated Shaq bc Shaq was fucking lazy. So that’s just a reasonable work dispute if you ask me, of course it’s going to look more dramatic than it is because they’re in LA and everything there is a fucking reality show. With the post champion Cavs, Irving was just a little spoiled brat who happens to be an amazing scorer but once LBJ got him that chip Kyrie thought he could just be the man on some other team like it would be nothing. So I say fuck Kyrie for being spoiled and ditching a championship team and fuck Kevin Durant for joining an already well built championship accomplished team and completing throwing off parody in the NBA. If you really hate LBJ, I can’t imagine how you feel towards KD
Edit: Also I do find it humorous that an LBJ era Heat was the only team to make the Spurs lose in the finals. It also makes you’re blasphemy of LBJ contradictive because of seeing how high the Tim Duncan led Spurs are in your personal opinion. It must infuriate you lol
Top 5 most underrated for sure!! 2nd best shooting guards of 90’s
Exactly the player i wanted you to profile. Thanks!
Ayyyy Run TMC
Excellent video. You did a really good job I remember and always loved Mitch his game was awesome remember playing with him on NBA jam a lot.It also makes me want to say the league needs to cut 20 teams lol and just have 10 so all the great players can showcase their talent Mitch Richmond was on the wrong teams.. I always wanted to see him on the supersonics Can you just imagine that team
“ nAH tHaTs oNe oF ThE pLuMBeRs Mj hAd tO fAcE iN tHE 90’s” says a Lebron fan who doesn’t know basketball.
mitch was on bad ass team lol... so it dont matter mitch was dragging the 90s kings every year to wins
Dennis Johnson w/ he Celtics. One of thee best guards period. RIP
I agree Mitch Richmond was one helluva player 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Great great player. One of my favorites
Bird I can understand (3s were an oddity for most of the 80s), but Mitch shooting a better 3-pt percentage than Dirk on MORE attempts per game is mind-blowing.
Mitch was such a beast! Wish he could have been a part of an elite team at least in the years Jordan was gone.
On one episode of inside the NBA Mitch Richmond was on, and Kenny Smith was saying he was the 2nd best shooting guard of the 90s behind MJ
Not over clyde imho
It's funny, I did my top-10 Most Underrated Players in NBA-History a few nights ago (mainly off of memory and revisiting their career stats), and then I found your channel tonight. Two of my top-10 were Kevin Johnson and Mitch Richmond. You've done videos on both. Just thought that was kind of funny.
Great vid. I think Glen Rice is also underrated.
i do too glen rice won on every level and was a scoring machine and a shooting God
Agree. One of the best pure shots of that era.
He was the only bright spot on the kings for years. Had his 96' team USA jersey in elementary school.
2k doesn't underrate him 😂 he's a 95ovr
In all time
Lol I be dropping buckets with him. I'm not going to lie if it wasn't for 2k I wouldn't know who he is. I was born in 92 so I don't know all the players.
kevin johnson is one of the most underrated. can you make a video of him?
Loved KJ's game! Truly underrated...
Totally agree with you,the Rock is one of the most underrated players ever and he proved he was a superstar,even MJ himself considered him one of the best competitors he faced
I remember as a kid looking up the nba stat leaders in the newspaper in the 90’s. You would always find Mitch there.
MJ always sang his praises. He was a top 3 guard in the area behind MJ.
Mully was one of the guys I patterned my game after bc I was not "athletic" either at the college level. My list:
1) Mark Price- created splitting the double team. 50-40-90 club.
2) Alex English- scored more points in the 80's than anyone else. Nobody even mentions him!
3) Mitch Richmond- Jordan's "toughest," matchup.
4) Chris Webber- Almost identical stats as the other great PF's, no HOF???
5) Dominique Wilkins- Wasn't even listed in the og top 50 greatest? Shaq and Walton were tho??? Shaq was a rookie and Walton played like 7 total seasons. Both great just not over nique at that point.
Dude is a beast on NBA Jams.
Short video and few views. True tribute to an underrated player if you ask me!
Great acknowledgement Jonny! Mitch was THE MAN is Sac. I went to college in Sacramento and the only 2 guard better than Mitch was MJ. Like you said, Mitch wasn’t simply a shooter but could post, pass and play defense! Miss those days! I just hoped that (then GM) Jeff Petrie would of did a better job.
Mitch was one of the best and very underrated
I'll do a lineup for what I think.
PG- Rod Strickland
SG- Ray Allen
SF- Andre Iguodala
PF- Chris Bosh
C- Moses Malone
Some of these guys I can vouch for, and others are they're so underrated they're not that well known.
Strickland- Good stats, never had a great team, but was like a modern day PG. Combined passing and scoring. Also a godfather to Kyrie.
Allen- Should've had a finals appearance in 01, and never got a good team in the peak of his prime and made those Seattle teams win probably way more games than they should.
Iggy- Could do what you asked of him and was a major part in the Warriors dynasty with IQ and defense, and in 2018 vs. the Rockets, everyone forgets he was out and he's a major piece.
Chris Bosh- Like most, good stats, bad support, changed his game to win in Miami and was balling after LBJ left until blood clots.
Moses Malone- Absurd numbers yet is never talked about.
Yeah young Ray Allen was dunking on bodies...his UConn vs IVERSON's Georgetown was a CLASSIC...96 draft, is up there with 1984, and 2003 draft classes...J.kidd,IVERSON, Ray Allen didn't have SHAQ thats the only difference in the early 2000's when they dominated.
@@etxsports5836 That draft has a squad. And Kobe had his moments even with Shaq. 2000 Finals game 4 comes to mind. But the way I see it, Shaq also never played without a HOF talent majority of years. He always had a top tier talent with him. But hey, it's also luck too. Wolves coulda had Allen and KG from the beginning. 76ers could've drafted Dirk or Pierce to go with AI. J Kidd was on the verge of signing with San Antonio. Just how it goes.
@@thedimedropper9601
Yeah had he stayed with Penny they would of won after 98 when JORDAN retired or went up against David Robinson /Duncan in 99...yeah many in Dallas wanted Kansas Jayhawk Paul Pierce...but now it was a win,win for Boston and Dallas, but luckily for Kobe he didn't have to play in Charlotte and got traded to L.A. to sit behind Eddie Jones.
@@thedimedropper9601
and 2 time MVP Steve Nash had to sit behind J.Kidd in Phoenix years until starting with the Mavs then going back to Phoenix to knock Kobe out of back to back playoffs with Amari and Raja Bell before actually becoming Kobe's teammate...yep that 96 draft was special
Id have to definetly say the most underrated of all time. Lol I love basketball, this guys in the HOF and ive barely heard his name before. He was nice
Loved watching mitch Richmond back in 90s, could you do a video on my favourite player Shawn kemp please.
If you saw Eric Gordon coming out of high school, his game resembled Mitch richmonds game. He was almost a carbon copy. To bad he didn’t get to mitchs level
Mich was my goto guy in whatever NBA live had Tim Hardaway on the cover in the mid to late 90s
surely he is one the most underrated player in the NBA and kids nowadays just do not know how good he was. to put it into better concept, he is 6'5 guard had a built of a bull, quick enough to run around most guards, strong enough to run into bigger forwards and even centers, moreover he had one of the best perimeter shooting and 3 points. he was also very tough at the defensive end. playing against Mitch was just like facing a raging bull and a moving concrete wall for 40+ minutes. pity that T. Hardaway, Mullin and Mitch didn't play as long as they should have, or probably a trip to the final at the very least.
Man in 2k I always use Mitch Richmond as if he was just like MJ
Run TMC was a lot of fun
Dude was solid
My 2k20 player comparison is Mitch Richmond and I couldn't agree more.
People don't remember but he was the second best shooting guard after Jordan for the decade. I don't understand why.
Agreed!!!
He gotta be most underrated all time
I have never heard of this man a day in my dad told him to me
One of the best jump shots ever.
Once again in the 90s just another small market team that wasn't on TV on a regular basis for a nation to understand how good they really are
He was also apart of the 96 USA team
Antonio Mcdyess, Rex Chapman, Glenn Robinson, Blaylock, Dana Barros, Rider are not THE MOST underrated, but realy forgotten, even by youtube bloggers
The Rock!!!!!
While Stockton is recognized as one of the best pg’s I still think he’s underrated.
Now that you’ve talked about Richmond, what about the also underrated teammates of that Run TMC? Mullin and Tiny Tim...
Mitch Richmond has always been in my top 5 all time favorite NBA Players 😎
Top underrated players
Tim Duncan
Moses Malone
Bill Russell
Alex English
Sidney Moncrief
Pride XM you really think Tim Duncan is underrated?
@@DarinAtkins Yeah Especially his first 10 years
He doesn't get enough credit. Very consistent throughout his career.
@@pridexm6546 Tim Duncan is considered as the best PF of all time.
Duncan, Malone & Russell are a far cry from underrated. 🤔
Scott Martin I'll take Garnett over Duncan anyday. Prime vs Prime? KG everytime.
Agree.
Moses Malone is the most underrated player of all time in my opinion but Mitch has got to be up there. It infuriates me when I hear people talk about the best shooters of all time and fail to even mention his name
Mitch deserved that ring. Go Lakers!
agreed
Was a mitch fan and Kobe die hard laker fan, but i remember a game where he was on wizards and shut kobe down and beat lakers
My all time favorite Sacramento King.
Yes I believe the reason jordan had such a tough time was because Richmond could muscle jordan outta his spots on the floor.
If I had to make a current player comparison to a star whose insane scoring is being wasted like Richmond’s was with GSW and SAC would be Devin Booker. A fantastic scorer who does everything for his team night in and it just doesn’t translate to winning enough because of poor management.
fun facts guys Mitch Richmond is more efficient at the 3 ball than James Harden. Imagine if Mitch played in todays no defense era. He definitely would average 30 a game for a couple seasons.
I'm glad he got a championship, even it was with the Cakers.
As an adolescent I used to call Mitch the West Coast Poor Man's Jordan
Moses Malone is the most underrated player of all time imo
Solid pick. He's gonna get his own video at some point for sure
Without question. Stuck on shitty Kings teams during the prime years of his career. It was MJ, Drexler, and then Mitch at the SG in the 90s
TMC🤩
Did anyone else recall reading that Mitch passed away in 2015? Or am I misremembering. Either way, he’s still alive last time I checked.
Do one on Rick Barry
