man he is one of the grittiest leaders syracuse has had the privilige of watchin for 4 years....he will be remembered here for a long time along with the greats
McNamara was very exciting to watch. He was a very passionate player and gave it 100% on every play. He was a reliable, clutch elite shooter. #Legend 🐐
Gerry is awesome. He is on the Utah Jazz roster right now for preseason. I had met him once and he posed for a picture with my daughter. He will always be one of my all-time favorites.
I am from Scranton and I know that he is the 7th leading scorer in all of Pennsylvania High School Basketball history. I can think of only Wilt Chamberlain from Philadelphia and Kobe Bryant from Lower Merion High School, outside of Philly, so he is among some big names. Very upsetting he never went to the NBA. Every game he played was as if it were for championship!
This guy came to play. Anyone fortunate to see him play knows he left it all on the court. Most clutch player in Syracuse history, although I have heard Billy Gabor played much the same way. Hustle, pure hustle.
i saw the kid make a three pointer from the right corner to beat notre dame as time expired. jeremy mcneil made two free throws for what seemed to be the first time all year and we held the irish for a stop to close the lead to one. when mcnamara's man left him to double on carmelo, he got the pass and drained the shot. the mother of all money shots.
He should have been drafted anyway, my man had heart and game. When you see a coach snapping like that to the media it's because he knows what kind of player he is. Small guys can ball too, he never was scared of the big moment either. Melo didn't win that championship by himself, Gerry was ballin right there with him. Gerry, I respect your game - you should have been given to chance to prove it!
That was sad at the end of the video. It's unfortunate Gerry had to have all of those injuries at the end of his career when all of the NBA scouts where out looking at him. So sad for one of the greatest, most inspirational players from here in Scranton and the great city of Syracuse, one of my favorites.
Dude, he DID go out on a high note. Didn't you see HOW they got to the Tourney? It could be argued he gave the greatest performance in NCAA Conference Championship history.
He stayed because he never got picked up by a pro team. Even today, he's playing overseas. He vacationed with my family last year and at the time he was playing in Germany, doing very well though. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve his shot, he just hasn't been given one.
hard to call someone overrated when they are 6th on the all time scoring list on the 5th most winningest college basketball team of all time...G-mac is legendary in the cuse.
The only sad thing was that his last collegate game he was sick/injured and SU lost in the Tourney (To Texas A&M I think?) I would have liked to have seen him go out on a high note. He was probably the most popular player in Syracuse history. Derrick Coleman would probably be the only one close to him in popularity.
Gerry - Awesome career @ SU. You're a NBA Pro always in my book - and you would of made a great one there too! Just work with coach and get SU to NCAA championship - that's all that matters in schema of life.
its no disrepect to sherm or pearl, Gerry had nobody his junior and senior years. and very underdeveloped demetrius nichols? terrance roberts? devo? daryl watkins? and Gerry never played shooting guard. when he was in the game he was the point guard
Gosh....he was absolutely amazing. One of the best of all time! We always had a chance to win with Gerry!!!
HE is the greatest point guard in SU history!!! the most clutch, more hustle and more heart than anyone i have ever watched!!
5 Years ago, this guy made a 12 year old pick up a basketball again. I've started varsity since freshman year. Thanks Gerry. Go Orange.
The three point floater is one of my favorite Syracuse moments. Man that shot was so crazy.
I was in knottiham way
man he is one of the grittiest leaders syracuse has had the privilige of watchin for 4 years....he will be remembered here for a long time along with the greats
UCONN fan here. Gerry was awesome, one of those players you wish could just keep playing beyond their 4 years of eligibility.

He was the Greatest Player i have ever seen in College Basketball....hands down...NO one gave more to the game then Gerry..NO ONE

the most beloved player in SU history!!

what a story. i love you gerry mcnamara!
Dude, he DID go out on a high note. Didn't you see HOW they got to the Tourney? It could be argued he gave the greatest performance in NCAA Conference Championship history.
One of the best stop and pull up jump shooters, clutch players and PG of all time in College history.
he was sooo amazing.
He stayed because he never got picked up by a pro team. Even today, he's playing overseas. He vacationed with my family last year and at the time he was playing in Germany, doing very well though. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve his shot, he just hasn't been given one.
go cuse this year lets play wit da heart of gerry the power of coleman and the poise of mello. 2010 champs
Bro was stone cold! Always big in the clutch.
had a grown man in tears watching his final intro at the dome
his favorite band = pearl jam. just another reason this guy is the man.
hard to call someone overrated when they are 6th on the all time scoring list on the 5th most winningest college basketball team of all time...G-mac is legendary in the cuse.
No not anymore ... assistant grad coach @ SU ... love seeing Gerry back in the 'cuse!
The only sad thing was that his last collegate game he was sick/injured and SU lost in the Tourney (To Texas A&M I think?) I would have liked to have seen him go out on a high note.

mcnamara was raw as shittttt
Jim Boeheim is a Hall of Fame coach. No doubt about it.

greatest cuse player ever. had the guts to stay 4 years. something mello could never do.
woundedpoodle the fuck
Saw him play in HS. God damn....
Thats my cousin :)
He is a legend in Pennsylvania. Even in western Pennsylvania, he was well known.
yea what's the firts song..?
GMac.. The General.. The Pearl.. MCW.. and now Gillon, just to name a few.. damn.. the Orange be spoilin their fans with PGs.
G Mac is the man...sick pullup..hopefully he goes somewhere overseas to ball..
One of the greatest and my fav on aside from melo !

Gerry - Awesome career @ SU. You're a NBA Pro always in my book - and you would of made a great one there too! Just work with coach and get SU to NCAA championship - that's all that matters in schema of life.
NAME OF THE FIRST SONG?!?!!
@MoralPlight Funny, I've always felt the same way.
@JCbanks71 and in scranton!
My favorite SU player of all time!!!! Trevor Cooney has a chance but has a long way to go
dont disrespect Pearl and sherman douglas, those were the 2 best PGs in syracuse history
Gmac was the best shooting guard in cuse history
he was too short and not athletic enough. One of the best pure jump shooters I have ever seen - its a shame.
1:56 to see something Lebron WILL NEVER DO...Hit a clutch meaningful shot
5:34
315!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its no disrepect to sherm or pearl, Gerry had nobody his junior and senior years. and very underdeveloped demetrius nichols? terrance roberts? devo? daryl watkins? and Gerry never played shooting guard. when he was in the game he was the point guard
The music ruined this video
proves that to be a white pg in the NBA you have to average 50 ppg, its bs
liar
