Huge fan of Cummings growing up. One thing-because Don Nelson played 'small ball', Terry had to play center alot and that actually hurt his numbers quite a bit because he'd be matched up on McHale, Parrish, Caldwell Jones and Moses Malone during his time with the Bucks.
@@sfrank8687 I'm biased but they're absolutely up there. When they transitioned from Marques Johnson to Terry Cummings they didn't miss a beat. Sidney Moncrief Junior Bridgeman Bob Lanier Mike Dunleavy Paul Pressey Craig Hodges.... The only team to beat the Sixers in 83 keeping Moses' prediction from coming to fruition
Excellent, great historical video!!! Please make more? I'm 73 y/o I've seen many of the players you mentioned play. There are many many more forgotten players. Fans may not understand that the skills and styles of play today were developed by past player. Please keep up the good work. Bob Love was one of my favorites, Kelly Tripuka was another one, looked like a disco dancer hairdresser but man he was something on the court. There are so many more! Thank you again.
Yeah but the skills today are just because the rules have laxed. It took much more skill back then with the stricter rule. I also laugh when people say x player can’t play in the game today, when Jokic and Luka are two of the top players today.
So many guys like Tripuka, Kiki, Tom Chambers, Glen Rice etc were ahead of their time. It's crazy to think what kind of weapon some of those guys would be in today's NBA
This is exactly the type of basketball content I've been looking for. A lot of YT channels do a ton of hot take/analysis and I just prefer trivia type stuff like this.
John Drew, Dan Roundfield Jeff Ruland Marquis Johnson. Kiki Vandewege. Adrian Dantley. Alex English. Need I say More. 1970s and 80s NBA It's FANTASTIC 😍😊
I had no idea just how efficient a scorer Kiki was, 52.5% career shooter that relies on 20 foot jump.shots. Almost 30 pts per game on 56% shooting his best year.
A few more forgotten guys: Lou Hudson, Bob Kauffman, Charlie Scott, Geoff Petrie, Phil Chenier, Truck Robinson, Cazzie Russell, Eddie Johnson, Walter Davis, Reggie Theus, Buck Williams, Calvin Natt
Phenomenal list. Cummings was a big time scorer. Those Don Nelson teams had a couple other guys in Moncrief & Marques Johnson that don't get enough love. The OGs used to tell me as a kid how Bob Love was the man...mad respect from everyone who watched him. Plenty of overlooked guys. Buck Williams Tom Chambers Andrew Toney & so many others. But absolutely love the list seeing guys like Kiki & older brother Paxson get some love
I remember Maurice Stokes from a show dedicated to him on NBA TV in the 2000’s. The award Teammate of the Year were named after him and his teammate/close friend Jack Twyman who helped him when he was incapacitated
Pistons defeated the Nuggets in the highest scoring game...not the other way around...that said, entertaining video...Bobby Dandridge would be a good addition btw
These were the pre-cable days. I lived in the New York area and was able to watch the Knicks and the Nets (Super John Williamson!!). I read Basketball Digest and Stree & Smith Basketball Yearbook like water in the desert. If people didn't get to watch Bernard King a lot they missed a gem.
Reggie Theus, Andrew Toney, Sidney Moncrief, Robert Reid, Sleepy Floyd, Darrell Griffith, and Tom Chambers. Adding Jack Sikma, Buck Williams, Daryl Dawkins, Xavier McDaniel, Jeff Ruland, and Nate McMillan.
I had no idea Tripucka was ever that good. I remember having his cards and always used to pronounce his name as Tree-Puck-uh. Only as an adult did I learn that it was pronounced puke. Fascinating.
Cummings is absolutely an underrated player, even in his own time. He should have been a 10 time all-star and a Hall of Famer as he was fantastic until his knee injury.
Excellent piece! I remember all of these guys...I was a HUGE John Drew fan when I was a jr. high basketball player...I used to try to go to the bucket for the 'leapin' leaner' (Skip Carey) just like John when I was 13 years old...forgotten player. Thanks.
Great video! Excellent choices I remember when the Pistons drafted Isaiah and Kelly in the same year! I would go to the Silverdome as a teen and watch those teams, they were exciting to watch! Hey when you added Butterbean Love don’t forget his running mate Chet Walker Btw Kenon with the Nets was known as “Dr. K”
Chicago's own Terry Cummings from the Altgeld Gardens and Carver HS. Tim Hardaway Sr grew up there and a Carver alum. Terry is definitely a underrated player. I loved growing up on the southside of Chicago back in those days.
If there's a part 2 video on this subject, Randy Smith would be a great inclusion. He won the All Star Game MVP in 1978 as a member of the Buffalo Braves, and had the record for consecutive games played with 906 before AC Green broke the mark. He was a lightning quick player with a great jumper and was an excellent defender as well.
@@LIBlurr Yes he definitely was. He was also a great soccer player in college as well. In fact he had interest to play for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the NASL during the NBA off season. But Buffalo's GM Eddie Donovan wouldn't allow it, citing injury concerns.
Great video! I would add to that list: Randy Smith, the VanArsdale brothers, and 3 of Love’s teammates on those great Bulls squads: Chet Walker, Norm Van Lier, and Jerry Sloan.
I loved both videos on this subject, was surprised you didn’t include the Suns Walter Davis a 6 time All Star that very few people remember! Maaaan he was fast!
Love this list personally and I couldn’t have made a better one myself. Kenon is one of my favourite forwards to watch and fitted right in with the spurs offence next to star player Gervin. Maurice Stokes is interesting to me as his shooting was horrific but his defence was incredible and playmaking for a Center was incredible. I would’ve liked to see Sam Lacey make the list however he had only made 1 all star team. But he is, to me, the most underrated and one of the most diverse centers in basketball history.
I watch alot of TH-cam basketball talking heads. I'm constantly disappointed, I already know these little know facts your advertising. I did not know about a couple of the players mentioned in this video. This was refreshing. Following.
A very good list of very good players. Great choice. For part two I think these following players are good candidates to be selected for the video: Andrew Toney, Ralph Sampson, Michael Ray Richardson, Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson, Paul Westphal, Rolando Blackman, Rudy Tomjanovich, Jeff Ruland, Norm Nixon, Doug Collins, Bob Dandridge, Marques Johnson and many more. ;-)
Phil Smith, Otis Birdsong and Kiki Vandeweghe in the same video plus Maurice Stokes! Can't wait for the Bulls video, hoping for lots on Mickey Johnson, Scott May and Wilbur Holland
My "lazy" eyes may have deceived me but I did not see a mention of "All-World / Brownsville Bomber / Prince of Mid-Air" World B. Free, ATL native and "adopted Brooklynite" LEGEND!!!
While it's difficult to accept unforgettable players like The Preacher and Kiki Wandeweghe in a video titled "forgotten..." this is still a very nice and informative compilation, with great footage. Well done.
John Drew was my mother God father she talked about him all the time when we watched any NBA game. She still has his picture he took with her when she graduated.
Mark Eaton should be on the list because he once on the all-star team in I think in 1989 with his teammates John Stockton and Karl Malone and I thought that he never made to the all-star team in his entire NBA career.
You just got to do another top 10 forgotten All Star players on these 10 players: *Kevin Johnson* *Ronaldo Blackman* *Penny Hardaway* *Tom Chambers* *Larry Foust* *Rudy Tomjonvich* *Buck Williams* *Mark Price* *Walter Davis* *Larry Jones*
I saw AC Green. He was a one time all star, but remembered by many. It's interesting that Byron Scott was never voted to a team despite his 14 ppg for his career.
Any mention of Stokes should mention Jack Twyman, who became his legal guardian after the fall basically caused a traumatic brain injury, which led to the permanent paralysis and caused him to require constant care for the rest of his life. Twyman could have taken a spot on this 10-man team, having averaged 19.2 ppg and 8.7 rpg in 11 seasons with the Royals. He has the distinction of being one of the first two players to average 30 ppg in a season, 31.2 in 1960. The other was some guy named "Chamberlain." Twyman is a big part of my past, being the broadcasting partner of Chris Schenkel for the ABC Game of the Week from 1967-71, part of the early years of my introduction to the NBA. This was the only way to watch pro basketball for most of America. While the league grew from 10 to 17 teams over that time, the only games the whole country could see were on that Sunday show, except some weeknight games during the finals. Twyman was noted for his support of Stokes by having the NBA Teammate of the Year Award named after him and his afflicted friend: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twyman%E2%80%93Stokes_Teammate_of_the_Year_Award
Here are a few more who deserve an honorable mention: Bobby Dandridge, Bill Bradley, Dave Debusschere, Bobby Jones, Andrew Toney, Gus Williams, and Bob Love.
I'm just curious how Dan Issel has only one NBA all-star team selection. Weird. Another would be Brian Winters. A bit like Jim Paxson. Marques Johnson another, 5-timer a lot of folks don't remember. Buck Williams another.
2:55 Larry Kenon to me will always be the player that Bill Walton scored 21 out of 22 on, in the NCAA finals that was shown on network TV for the first time in 1973.
I didn't know about Stokes! Especially as much as I claim 2 know about hoops but, I rememba Terry Cummings. He wuz 1 of my favorites & 1 of tha reasons I liked tha Bucks....him, Sydney Moncrief, Bob Lanier & Alvin Robertson. ✌🏽🙂❤🏀
Im not googling how many all star appearances so forgive me if im wrong but i'll gona little newer school with these 3: Jamal Mashburn (injuries limited his all star appearances), Michael Redd, and Cory Maggette.
Enjoyed this video, and you mentioned some of my favorite players of yesteryear. I was wondering whether players such as Gus Williams (Sonics) or Brian Winter (Bucks) might be worthy of mention in another video? BTW, Phil Smith, who was super talented, really had bad luck in life; in 2002, at age 50, he died of multiple myeloma (a type of bone cancer).
Huge fan of Cummings growing up. One thing-because Don Nelson played 'small ball', Terry had to play center alot and that actually hurt his numbers quite a bit because he'd be matched up on McHale, Parrish, Caldwell Jones and Moses Malone during his time with the Bucks.

Terry Cummings- great player. So hard to defend against.
Terry was Mr. Inside, and Mr

yes he was hard cummings was a very hard player.

Bob Love was a fine player with Chicago. The Lakers had to double-team him.

This is exactly the type of basketball content I've been looking for. A lot of YT channels do a ton of hot take/analysis and I just prefer trivia type stuff like this.
Part 2 needs to include Mark Aguirre, Tom Chambers, Jamaal Mashburn and Maurice Lucas. And Rolando Blackman.
Chambers was a lucky guy he was a replacement player who won the mvp.
Who can forget Chambers cheese by dunking the ball from the 3 point line with a double pump
Monster Mash beast!
Fat lever

John Drew, Dan Roundfield Jeff Ruland Marquis Johnson. Kiki Vandewege. Adrian Dantley. Alex English. Need I say More. 1970s and 80s NBA It's FANTASTIC 😍😊
Kelly Tripuka is the son of Broncos legend, Frank Tripuka. Crazy underrated sports family
Very cool, I had no idea
Loved his style , super aggressive at that time
THAN YOU for this!
Great list... Otis Birdsong and kiki Vandeweghe were amazing in their day!! Next video, can you include Benard King and Artis Gilmore??
they are both in hall of fame
@@dennisjones1941 True, but this title did not mention HOF inductees. King and Gilmore are still often forgotten.
I had no idea just how efficient a scorer Kiki was, 52.5% career shooter that relies on 20 foot jump.shots. Almost 30 pts per game on 56% shooting his best year.
Great list... I would add Alex English who scored the most points in the 1980's
A few more forgotten guys: Lou Hudson, Bob Kauffman, Charlie Scott, Geoff Petrie, Phil Chenier, Truck Robinson, Cazzie Russell, Eddie Johnson, Walter Davis, Reggie Theus, Buck Williams, Calvin Natt
Lou Hudson is in a different class from the others.

Wow dude, this is a great historical video. I thought I has a basketball historian but I've never heard of some of these guys. Well done.
Phenomenal list. Cummings was a big time scorer. Those Don Nelson teams had a couple other guys in Moncrief & Marques Johnson that don't get enough love. The OGs used to tell me as a kid how Bob Love was the man...mad respect from everyone who watched him. Plenty of overlooked guys. Buck Williams Tom Chambers Andrew Toney & so many others. But absolutely love the list seeing guys like Kiki & older brother Paxson get some love
I think Moncrief may be the best player to come out of Arkansas. Corliss Williamson was handy too.
Didn’t realize Tripucka could score that way, that was really surprising
I remember Maurice Stokes from a show dedicated to him on NBA TV in the 2000’s. The award Teammate of the Year were named after him and his teammate/close friend Jack Twyman who helped him when he was incapacitated
Love a little Larry Kenon. Largely forgotten or overshadowed by Gervin. Still so fun to watch. Had a intense Afro too
Mark Price would be another too add to this list.
Connie Hawkins, Marques Johnson, Chet Walker, Gus Williams, Kevin Johnson, Drazen Petrovic ,Bernard King ,Terry Cummings,and Maurice Lucas.
Bernard King was unstoppable before his injuries.
Birdsong was an elegant player, especially on layups
Pistons defeated the Nuggets in the highest scoring game...not the other way around...that said, entertaining video...Bobby Dandridge would be a good addition btw

Outstanding! Thank you for keeping this important information relevant. Very nice. I saw at least half of those players myself.
Terry Cummings is a Beast on 2K,he's a great defender/put back elite.
Love it! I also would mention Zelmo Beatty, Artis Gilmore, George McGinnis
Great documentary awesome
Uncle Hays For you to honor Mr. Stokes was so WONDERFUL! This gentleman was truly ONE OF A KIND! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT LIST!
Reggie Theus, Andrew Toney, Sidney Moncrief, Robert Reid, Sleepy Floyd, Darrell Griffith, and Tom Chambers.
Adding Jack Sikma, Buck Williams, Daryl Dawkins, Xavier McDaniel, Jeff Ruland, and Nate McMillan.
Floyd and Reid played with Rockets later on
Griffith never made an All-Star game, one of my top All-Star snubs in history
Sikma has a ring. No one forgot him. Some are just too young to know.
I had no idea Tripucka was ever that good. I remember having his cards and always used to pronounce his name as Tree-Puck-uh. Only as an adult did I learn that it was pronounced puke. Fascinating.
Great job with the video. Informative and entertaining.
Great video my friend
Great video, all your selections were excellent particulary Maurice Stokes, thank you so much for making him "Last but absolutely not least"

Lacey was solid, for sure. Did everything pretty well. He was never a weak link in any area.
The Pistons won that game against the Nuggets 186-184. How could you leave Mark Aguirre off this list? He definitely fits the criteria for this list.
He was not top tier and his defense was horrible.
