The thing is that he is not "the worst NBA player" like people claim him to be. Guy lasted 11 years in the NBA and only a handful of players do that.
Facts his basketball iq is planets above the average
5 players in NBA History have played 11 or more years?
@@stevenfernandez4845 handful means small amount, not 5
@@Panther016 handful literally means 5.
@@stevenfernandez4845 You're probably mistaking 'handful' with another word
Man the NBA is where the top 400 or so most talented players in the world plays..... Look at Stephon Marbury, in his last years in the NBA he averaged less than 5 ppg. Go to China he averages 39 for the season and wins the CBA league MVP. The talent difference is just too big.
HuskyWarrior 0029
Jimmer Fredette is the same way. Went from 3.7 ppg in the NBA on terrible efficiency to 37.6 ppg on excellent efficiency in the CBA. Also an mvp.
Andrew Bogut was almost forced to retire in the NBA, goes back to Australia to play in their league and win DPOY & MVP in the same year.
These guys are worlds better than the vast majority of basketball players, even ones that were starters on really good college teams. Good enough to play in the NBA is just that much higher.
Well Marbury wasn't a great example but your point was made.
@@jumptusflopus7184 yeah fredette went from having career highs of 24 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds in the NBA to averaging 37/7/5 plus 2 steals on 62% TS in a 3 year CBA stint
@@ega1758 Bob McAdoo went to Italy at 35 after 14 seasons in the NBA, played 7 years and averaged 27ppg and 9 rebounds per game.
Scalabrine once scored 29 points in an NBA game. I would need 29 years of training in the hyperbolic time chamber to get a shot off in the NBA
Haha
What would it take for someone to average 29?

LOL Vanilla Godzilla, that's a new one.
I find it hilarious when people don’t understand just how much better NBA players are than everybody else...
Except DeAndre Jordan, I bet plenty of playground legends can beat him. Dude has no offensive skills whatsoever, outside of dunking.
@@oneadvocate9517 and now we all laugh....*proceeds extreme laughter*
@@reynentertainment6825 I'm laughing even more vigorously than you are, that you actually think he's good.
@@oneadvocate9517 I'm actually impressed how ignorant you are lmao
Facts
Memes and puns aside, Brian Scalabrine was an NBA player, 1 of the 400 best players in the WORLD and played for 11 seasons.
None of us here (unless you're an NBA player) have a chance of beating him.
there is now way in hell you can beat him...
he's too big im only 5 foot 6
man flight would dominate him with his impeccable handles and genius level basketball IQ
So true 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Would a D1 starter beat him?
i don't think any of these clowns really thought they were better than scalabrine, just the thought of being near an ex-nba player is awesome by itself
Not just any ex-NBA player, the single greatest athlete in the history of mankind.

Shut up brian scalbrine is trash and dont @ me kid km just spitting facts
@@JoeJoe-oj9gh stfu
@@JoeJoe-oj9gh Compared to you he’s prob 10x better lol
Rumor has it this enclosed gym is on a secret location because fans would swarm to see the GOAT.
haha
Dude I go there to play basketball. It’s like a shrine, I must pray to him before I shoot on that hoop
This was a gym in Waltham Massachusetts (no longer there)
People forget the guy he played in this video, made it to a D1 team, which by itself makes you one of the best players in the world, and even this guy was nothing compared to a retired end of bench NBA player
Yeah I played D1 college sports, too and people in my hometown would always ask me if I was going pro. I would politely laugh and say 'no, no chance of that'. I just wanted to have my college paid for.
This guy scored 3 pts on the God!!! I think that means he would score about 1000 pts on Jordan!!
Well that's facts (1v5 against Stockton, MJ, Lebron, Duncan, Wilt*)
He’s got incredibly sound fundamentals and a really good shot. Anyone who lasts over a decade in the NBA will have both those things.
You notice this with any pro athlete, really, from golf to tennis to basketball. Everything they do is just so precise. Every shot comes out perfect. Every move is with purpose. If you ever even see a D1 player at the gym it's immediately obvious.
@@rjcarr316Same with boxing. The average journeyman pro boxer is worlds apart in technique vs. some wanna be tough guy off the street, or even some golden gloves dude, which is why even the best amateurs start off so slowly in the pros.
Vanilla Gozilla is seriously a bad ass nickname!!
I'm stealing that shit lol
@@Ranger.TomGunna well that makes us fellow thieves then
I had an NBA tryout in the 90's. They call them pros for a reason. ALL of those dudes are on a completely different level!
This was the only one of these where it even looked like Scal had to try and it was a D1 player from Syracuse
love these videos - really puts the nba's talent level into perspective.
I once played a PG who said he used to play for Arkansas in the late 90's before he blew out his knee. I didn't have anything on him...
I remember a tweet saying that all the olympic races should have a lane for a normal person so that we can put everything into perspective.
@@NeonLeonNoel they should! Like an average athlete who still knows what they are doing is getting absolutely torched comparatively.
who's watching in 2022?
@@nofurtherwest3474 2023
There are about 7 billion people living in the world and only 500 play in the NBA. He was one of the 500 for a decade straight. Let that sink in.
Where's his 360 windmill dunk from the 3pt line?
Swing and a miss!
majornewb Fadeaway*
majornewb He didn't need to do it this time. He was going against bunch of amateurs. If he would've done his 360 windmill, it would've destroyed all these people.
you know how it skipped to 7 points well he did it so fast no one saw it
it's fadeaway 1440 double-pump reverse windmill toma-hawk with his eyes closed from half-court, get your facts straight please
The worst NBA player will give the best hooper you have ever met in life 60 from literally one spot no sweat
Scal barely beat a kid that wasn’t even good enough to make the bench at a D3 school this 1 on 1 challenged is more embarrassing than anything
Jimaybob he was an nba player on a championship team
Jimaybob he wasn’t even trying. He did the same couple moves the entire game
Dude he literally wasn't even trying lmao
@@Jimaybob BAHAHA and you assume Scal was trying lol, he used the same exact moves so yes, the challenge is embarrasing because how do you let a guy beat you with the same move 😂 i know plenty of big men who can’t dominate the game like Scal does here
Scal is about 6'10 or 6'9 can move and has a nice shot. Even some of his fellow pros will have a hard time against him.
Well that's why they kept him around for 11 seasons !
Exactly bro.. let's not get twisted. His sheer size alone is difficult to deal with
@@alimamy9 Yup, people underestimate how much size is a factor. Go against somebody that's wide and can move. Doesnt matter if he's relatively slow or unathletic in a half court set, that's very difficult to deal with especially someone with a jumpshot and IQ. All he has to do is get to his spot and shoot over you all day lol. Jokic, Bird , Duncan --- who are considered unathletic vs their peers have no problem dominating because they just know how to use their size and skill. Scal maybe a benchwarmer in the NBA but he was an excellent college player and vs ordinary people or even pros and excellent hoopers will dominate.
He did win a championship with the 2008 Celtics. He was a 1 quarter per game bench warmer for his career, but he did have a season with 6 ppg and 5 rebounds. He's actually not that bad.
Crazy how this was 10 years ago.
>retires
>still the mvp
Lmao I used to make fun of scal but I’d never disrespect him by comparing him to a regular person
They will never ever be another Brian Scalabrine - Michael Jordan
Wow, Michael Rapaport is pretty good
Oh my god is guy still got it, still baffles me that no NBA team has offered him a contract yet if him and Robert Sacre went to the Sixers they would automatically be in the championship race, deadly duo.
He got it for rec ball! U are soo missing the purpose of this show
A professional is better than any amateur for a reason. Respect
the first dude who said he was from north chelmsford massachusetts lives like 20 mins away from me
“The Vanilla Godzilla” had me dying, haven’t heard that one before
That was awesome, I can’t stop laughing wt this commentary, this should’ve been a series! When I saw scal back in 2008, Tommy called him human cigar bc he only came in during garbage time when 2008 Celtics were blowing teams out or had double figure leads, I never realized how much of a good player he was, much respect white mamba! Can’t wait to watch round 2!
Human cigar 😂
Scal could've beaten them with one arm 3 on 1..
He murked Kobe in the finals, what makes people think they can beat him
Kobes nicknamed after scals nick name.
The reality is, Brian was too good, so they had to bench him most of the time to keep NBA fair.
the next episode will be in the next 10 years. "Thanallenge with Thanasis"
Those NBA players are a lot better than you'd think, aren't they?
When u in the nba you are in the top 1% of the world in talent
1 Percentage is generous. From high school to collage is .09 and from that even less
There’s 450 people on the planet in the NBA. That means he’s in the top .0000001 percent or so. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning than be a benchwarmer for the worst NBA team
It's like pitting an avenger against an average human being.
How someone can think he can beat Scalabrine ? No one can beat Scalabrine.
Not even chuck Norris?
brian scalabrine is a great player
No one can ever be better than scal.
Man this is gold, imagine if they did this in all sports just for fun.
they have it was called pros vs joes. they should bring it back to shut u this new wave of fat couch potatos who still think theyre athletes lol
Scalabrine is too good
I love this!
Honestly scoring at all on any NBA player is pretty impressive
I mean yes, the guy in the video is already quite a lot above average. That's the whole point.
a scout team at rutgers could destroy anybody on a pick up game at a local park.
One thing that always stands out to me when I see league guys against others…. League players are so comfortable with contact with the ball and even seek it out.
when you are used to dealing with athletic jacked af or lightning quick 7ft tall or 7ft wingspan players on a nightly basis in the NBA, going up against use mere nonprofessional mortals must feel like how playing little kids feels for us lol
This is great.
I'm impressed by Tom's performance.
Toucher and Rich are hilarious through this entire thing
jesus christ, i'd be afraid for my ribs, Scal be throwing them elbows christ.
The Vanilla Godzilla 😂😂
This was the practice to him, not even an ounce of pressure, yet showcased the gap. I mean, he had a block too. He'd probably get a rebound if it's a pickup game.
Scal Played in NBA For 11years for a reason.
"I'm closer to lebron than you are to me" -White Mamba
NBA players are something else
The Vanilla Godzilla might be the most 🔥 nickname of all time 😂
Brian Scalabrine is the GOAT
There levels to the game.
from the mean streets of north chelmsford. bless him.
whats the intro song?
There is a reason Matt Tomaszewski played only 19 minutes in his career that spanned two years at Syracuse.
Well to even be on the team at a school like Syracuse means he is very talented and better than the vast majority of people.
Most of us couldn't even play D III. Give the kid some credit. He still scored more points at a D1 school than any of us did combined. Maybe he took other aspects of life like his studies more seriously than ball. Ain't no shame in that.
The fact he made it on a D1 team means he’s already better than 99.99% of people who pick up a basketball.
He made a rookie mistake when he bit on that fake... always someone from Syracuse
@@literallyshaking8019ABSOLUTE FACTS!
“I’m closer to lebron than you are to me”-Scal.
2:58 My guy just said "Vainilla Godzilla" LMAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM DEADD
having played with and against a high school player classmate- who was 6'4" and not good enough for the NBA- but good enough for a div.1 school- he totally dominated our region. would hit 100 3s in a row easily, was the best player in the school by year 8- and he wasnt good enough for the NBA . played overseas in turkey and australia ultimately. but he was incredible. shows how good NBA guys are.
@@YungPhilosopher not even. Bradley Beal is 6’4 on a good day and averaged 30ppg back to back. OPs friend Simply just wasn’t good enough
@@YungPhilosopher Earl Boykins was 5’5
Died laughing at vanilla Godzilla part
YOU CANT BEAT THE GOAT
he's a champion
"Guys with red hair automatically thought they'd get in 'oh, like we have some special connection'" 😂
They should do this again
Love how the "white mamba" trophy is actually a rattlesnake 😂
Ahora reduzcan el filtro a los 20 pilotos de fórmula uno éso está de locos.
These guys are actually NBA superstars in disguise
The Vanilla Godzilla...LOL!!!
The Goat
cheers
Vinalla Godzilla. I'm gonna cry 😢
Dat handcheck
The hand check is a real bastard

Brian Scalabrine, the secret member of Generation of Miracles.
What I always wanted to know was who would win in a game of 1-on-1, prime Brian Scalabrine or prime Ben Wallace.
1:02 - I thought that was Phil Kessel for a second 😂
God bless
The goat
“It was really great”
Those people are very blessed to meet the GOD of gods.
Scales too 💪
The vanilla Godzilla is the best name I’ve ever heard
I'll give Matt this... He got 3 Points on a Former NBA PLAYER.. I'd never do that, so Good on hin.
The vanilla Godzilla lmaooo
Scalabrine! the real goat.
The vanilla Godzilla 😂😂
This is life!..😂🤣😂🤣
what's is funny about they underestimate the white momba ,I play one on one every weekend with the old 40 something white guy and he as all the old outdated but deadly moves to be effective so much I tailored my post moves after him
you can see scal played in the nba 2 obvious travels in the post
Can you imagine being a normal 5'10" to 6' guy and dealing with him backing you down? Literally ZERO you can do about it because you have to get low to brace yourself and then he turns around and is instantly 2 feet taller than you.
Im no NBA fan, but man do i love watching clowns get put on their place. 👏🏻
People forget that just because they aren't great NBA players doesn't mean that aren't great basketball players. Most ballers can't beat the average NBA bench warmer.
This was the only guy to actually score on Scal
Some questionable pushoffs by scal
Lol. No.
Folks dont understand how many 1st team all xyz power 5 conference guys cant even make the league. Nba talent is just unreal.
Vanilla Godzilla😅love that
Not to take anything away from the Scal but the Tomaszweski guy had some really strange attempts and moves....
I mean when you're being guarded by a 6'8" NBA player you probably are not gonna get the shots that you want all that often
Dude knew how to ball
Scal is good as fuck. Period.
Nba player aside, brian is 6'8 and in good shape. He would give any average person a problem 1 on 1
