Salute to everyone that's requested this guy. Enjoyed putting his feature together. Thank you guys for being patient. I know...20k My story is being worked on. Coming soon. Until then, who should I do next!
YESSSSSSS MY VIDEO THANKS SO MUCH BRODIE LOVE FAM KEEP GRINDING 🤟🏾💯
Sean May-North Carolina....
Charlie Bell-Michigan State
DeJuan Blair-Pittsburgh
Yooo another nice one! Keep up the good work! You should do my guy from UConn, Rashad anderson. Since I'm pretty sure you did his lefty point guard, Marcus Williams.
Also jon scheyer, Gerry McNamara, and maybe greivis Vazquez. That era was tough and we all had front row seats lol
Ok my last ones for today lmao. Some of the Georgetown crew like dvauntes smith Rivera and markel starks.
now, he play 3rd year in one of the greatest european clubs, Partizan Belgrade. And we love him very much!
I’ve always hated how great college players didn’t always translate into great pros
Same. Hansborough, Paige, Julius Hodge (NC State), Rashaad McCants, Sean May, Gerry McNamara (Syracuse) and others. Feelsbadman....
NC has a history of great college players and not great pros.
It's a shame the NBA values potential over performance which forces many kids to leave early before they're ready. And under-values the experience that juniors and seniors bring to the table. Not everyone is a one and done or a two and through player.
Very good point
I never really saw NBA in his future to me he was a perfect college player.
I agree
Reminded me of Joel Berry: Solid college guard, not necessarily a pro.
Same
Very much this
Agreed. Duke's Johnny Dawkins 2.0. But didn't score as well (and less of an athlete). Maybe should try coaching like Dawkins, and see how he does.
He is one of my favorite unc players of all time.
Damn bro what about MJ and VC
Me to
@@knoda2603 he said favorite not best lol
Yeah I appreciated his game, btw I am Duke fan.
The comment about Roy Williams was a bit absurd. His job is to win games and putting Marcus Paige off the ball to let Joel berry run the point gave the better shooter more opportunities to make open shots. Roy and Marcus were both in tears on his senior night when Marcus thanked Roy for making him a better man. Also Marcus got drafted in the second round so what happened after that had absolutely nothing to do with Roy anyway. He cares about all his players and their futures. Do better.
This is the perfect example of not seeing the big picture, I believe when you see instances like this they and they’re family are getting big time payola from these schools to stay to benefit the program and that money blinds these players and fam from the big picture which is generational wealth. Dope content
Yessssssss my favorite college basketball player of all time I’ve been waiting for this video for sooo long... To anybody that’s watching this remember y’all, Keep Going & Be Safe 🤟🏾💯
Bro you doing the thing appreciating all of the hard work 🙌
Ray Headen Thank you man. Appreciate you fam ✊🏾
I'm a huge UNC fan and I really like Paige but I don't blame Coach Williams for how he used him. It's the coaches job to try to win basketball games, not guarantee a players spot in the NBA.
He should’ve left after his sophomore year if the NBA was the goal.
Salute stunted growth!
Omg that subscribe intro caught me off guard! Good stuff man.😂
I seen him play in 2009 the Iowa state high school basketball tournament. Dude was cold
Damn son thats alot of work and only 20k subs...wtf mad respect!
Love the videos young homie..as an og...I saw this dude in action..yet today forgot about em...about to blaze and enjoy
Always confused me that a guy like Tj McConnell or a JJ Barea can have a place in the NBA but not a Marcus Paige
or even udonis haslem like what, the old ass mf dont even play he just wanna take up a precious roster spot just so he can sit on the bench like just retire already
Just came across your channel son....shit clean bro and you got the proper voice for this...keep it up brother
Bro I sucribied binge watching all episodes.. keep doing your thing.still waiting on your story
this guy had "it" in college. You could see he was born to play college ball. One of my favorite college players of his era
good video...he was one of my favs back then. He was nice with that sweet J. that 2016 NCAA Final is a classic. can u do adriean payne and denzel valentine?
Partizan ❤️
My favorite UNC player. Paige was a promising point guard, but had to take on a scorers role after PJ Hairston got suspended his Sophomore year. He was the only player on the team that could create, thus his sophomore scoring numbers jumped. Dude was a MONSTER. I feel like he drew so much attention on defense he picked up alot of little injuries that led to shooting slumps. He got moved to an off ball shooter role because Joel Berry arrived and UNC needed an SG. I think the move hurt his draft stock. By the time he graduated, he was two years removed from playing PG. Not good for an aspiring NBA point guard.
Can you do Chris Taft from Pitt.
Nigel Hayes from Wisconsin next or Jabari Parker
Here after DDV dropped 32 and I started to think about UNC vs Villa and how villa produced some ballers in the nba
Dante Exum? Man, I remember trying to convince myself he was actually gonna be good. Never seen it in his game. ESPN "experts" were comparing him to Kobe 🤣
Yeah that dude is easily one of the biggest busts no one talks about everyone mentions jabari and wiggins from that draft but exum has without question been way less impactful than either of them
Can you do a video on shawn may of North Carolina tar heels ..
Great vid. If you can do Fab Mello
One of my favorites
You should do Joel Berry ll & Brice Johnson
bryce back like is hurt like really bad that’s why i think
@@sterlingparson4278 ohh damn I remember him having back pain
Brice was really good
Can you so a stunted growth on Ron Kellogg' form Kansas and Willie Glass from St. Johns.
Dude was a bucket he played with great pace and plus he was lefty hard to guard.
ooooh this is a good one. I forgot he was drafted though.
that subscribe intro is funny asf
Paige score 8/10 for 3p last night against UNICS KAZAN for PARTIZAN BELGRADE, was playing for 22 min 40 sec.
Ok, go find Marcus Paige and ask him whether he thinks Roy cared about his future; I guarantee his answer would be an emphatic yes. With all due respect, I think you're just flat-out wrong with that claim that all college coaches only care about their program. I'm sure a ton of them do, but Roy wasn't one of them. With Roy specifically, it's public knowledge that he gave his honest opinion to the players about their draft stock after every season, usually with a recommendation to leave if he thought they'd be a first-round pick. As a fairly recent example, Roy told Coby White he should leave after his freshman season. Coby is on record saying he never intended to leave after one year.
Yeah, Roy cared deeply for Marcus...Plus, part of the reason MP's numbers dropped a bit is because the team around him improved and he didn't have to score 25 every night like he did his sophomore year. By his senior year, Brice was an All-American. Joel Berry had greatly improved and was a very reliable scorer. Justin Jackson was an All-ACC player. Kennedy Meeks was a double double guy. So UNC's offense was WAY more balanced at that time, not solely relying on Marcus.
Great college player, did it all. Never expected much of him as NBA player though
Do Adam Morrison if you havent already.
I always felt like he never got ah legit shot if anything
He should be in the NBA. He knows how to see the floor and WIN and he's a pg 100%. This a perfect video bro because dante exum and he's not good at all. Great video
He’s still my guy !! And I thank him for all 4 years
Marcus Paige, Kendall Marshall, Joel Berry
Kendall Marshall was the reverse Marcus Paige in my opinion. He left too early and couldn't shoot....
We need a Samardo Samuels , Ed Davis, Jeremy pargo , Jordan Hill
Rodrigue Beaubois - Dallas Mavericks , Alando tucker -Wisconsin , Sean foster Vanderbilt , Taquan Dean Louisville , Jareal McNeil Marquette, Juan Dixon Maryland, James O’curry Oklahoma state , Anthony Randolph LSU ,
You have some good ones listed, Beaubois was nice!
Derrick McCray right
perry jones
The Classic Manila-style I think he already did him
MP was definitely my guy as I always state I'ma Tarheel fan.. dude handles and jumpshot was next level just didn have a whole lotta heart.. but I do believe he coulda played a jamal crawford lou williams type 6th man role
He wasnt a scorer like those guys tho.
I’m Tar Heel fan and I agree he should’ve left his sophomore year but he loved college basketball. Also getting drafted by the right team had a lot to do with it too. And you questioned his heart? Lmao man you couldn’t watched Paige career while he was at North Carolina lol. He basically carried them his first 3 seasons and mostly his last year there. If he would’ve left early, it would’ve given him a better chance to stay in the nba longer because the team would’ve gave him more time to develop being a first rounder. I think if he would’ve been a tad bit faster it would’ve helped a whole lot. He had no problems finishing at the rim and could shoot on the top of anybody. It was just bad timing of going into the draft for him after staying to long.
Jason Fraser or Jeremy Pargo next please
Pargo had mad game
we need that JamesOn Curry video! 😁
There is a great ESPN piece on Curry if you can find it. Try searching up his name on the website. "I was hustlin', I aint gon lie".....lol
Fav UNC player of all time
I want to know what happened to Young who played on the 09' Pittsburgh team
Marcus from my high school let’s goooooo
He plays for one of the biggest clubs in Europe, Partizan. And last season he was far best player in team. He will be one of the best players in Europe in future.
Undersized, lack explosion, strength. Very good college player. He never looked like he got stronger, faster etc over his 4 years. He played off the ball a lot on Joel Berry came. Might have hindered his PG talent. Very good college PG. Appreciate this one SG. Crazy thing UNC had several guys on this team that flamed out NBA wise.
Paige is 6'1. He is not short to play PG. 🙄
@@themansince do you se the modern NBA pgs? Outside of CP/Lowry both who are older as a starters they are almost all over 6'3, super athletic... save Trae Young, but he is special..Paige isn't.
@@aaronhutchinson885 That is a bs excuse! There are a lot of point guards that are 6'2 or smaller. DJ Augustin, Isaiah Thomas, Ish Smith Jeff Teague, Lou Williams, Dennis Schroder, Mike Conley, Eric Bledsoe and so many more! 6'1 is good height! Height doesn't matter in sports! As long, you are good! Who cares about height!
I LOVE MP.....He really was the perfect college player, but I never really saw a prolonged NBA future for him because of the reasons you mentioned. It's interesting because I actually thought he played pretty well off the ball, not having to create as much. In Paige's case, I never thought he'd be an NBA star or anything like that...maybe a solid backup. But, he did get a taste of the league, which isn't nothing, and has been ballin' overseas for a while now, making a lot of money and such, so I'd say that overall, things are OK for Marcus
still patiently waiting on that Paul McPherson vid
Let these boys know. Paul was the truth
he definitely should of left after his sophomore year. Always wanted to see him in the league being he was from CR and I’m from CR. he’s been known about since he was a young kid around the town
joel berry pushed him off the ball, not injuries. Paige was better off the ball than Berry so it made sense from a team standpoint. More firepower around him and injuries led to a dip in numbers
Yeah....I love homeboy, but he doesn't mention the fact that UNC's team was so much better Marcus' last two years, especially his last year when he had Brice Johnson, who was an All-American, Justin Jackson who was an all-acc player in 2016 and the ACC Player of the Year in 2017, Joel Berry, who was another All-ACC player who would win MOP of the Final Four the in 2017 and Kennedy Meeks, a double double guy. So yeah, as you said, it really was the injury and the team's improvement around him the lead to a dip in numbers
Please do Stefan Moody
Do Shane Larkin !
I still can't believe my boy stunted still hasn't done brandon mccoy. Real talented big who should've went lottery.
Shabazz Napier might be a good one
I only had one issue with this video and that’s the criticism of Roy Williams.It’s not his job to get players to the league,that’s on the player.It’s his job to put the best product on the floor for UNC to be successful.Marcus was a scorer coming out of high school,Roy made him look better at running a team then he actually was which is why he handed the keys to Joel Berry immediately Marcus’ sophomore season.When u look at it the 2012 high school class was just a terrible class for talent period really.Shoutout to Marcus tho,UNC for life.
My guy he was a baller bro
Could you do Erik dampier
As a UNC fan we were spoiled by Tywon Lawson Ray Felton and Kendall Marshall. Paige wasn't those guys; he maxed out what he was IMO.
P.S. a lot of NBA points were 2's in college. Kirk Hinrich,Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Jay Williams Stevie Francis so on and so on all played the 2 in college to make room for a traditional point and to make use of their offence. Coby White is a 2 by trade but played the point at UNC. Your goal has to be first get to play than shine.
GO HEELS, made me cry when Villanova hit that shot.
My man, I love your channel, but you've neglected some key facts here. Part of the reason Marcus' numbers dipped his last two years is because UNC's team around him was so much better. His Senior year, Brice Johnson was an All-American...Justin Jackson was an all-acc player (who would win ACC player of the year the next year), Joel Berry was a double digit, reliable scorer and a future All-ACC player, and Kennedy Meeks also averaged close to double figures that year. So UNC wasn't reliant on him to score 20+ every night like it was in 2014. Also, Marcus LOVES Roy, and there's no way he would say he didn't care about his development. Point is that when Marcus got hurt his senior year, Joel filled in very well for him and was better on the ball, and Marcus was better off of it. But had Marcus not gotten hurt, he still would've played PG primarily.
COURTNEY ALEXANDER WOULD BE A GREAT VIDEO TOO
Because you americans think that there is no life outside, soon be, ununited states.
He is playing his 3rd year in Partizan Belgrade,club that gave so many know NBA players(,like divac,danilovic,pekovic,bertans, lauvergn,paspalj,bogdanovic and many more).Marcus,he is our hero.He is symbol of loyalty! He is famous in Europe every body knows who he is. We call him sniper.
He never struck me as an NBA player. Average athlete and undersized. Staying all 4 years didn’t didn’t hurt him, IMO. His numbers went down because the talent around him got better. Steph Curry was an elite shooter with elite handles, and Curry was a way better scorer.
He always screamed college player to me... short, not super athletic, but good shooter and smart player.
Great college player. Never a lottery pick though...
Julius Page Pittsburgh next dude was cold 💯
Hoopers know
yes man! I suggested Page as well in previous comments. The guy had a sweet jumper and was an incredible leaper. I still hoop with 1 sleeve rolled up sometimes just as Page did with the one-sleeved tshirt
that 2000-2004 Pitt team had some great players
@@AndreaBaixinho he dunked on gtown center. Can even try to spell his name. It was sick. I'm from Toronto and would be in Blo often and run into and a few other blo hoopers. Leonard Stokes, Darryk Jacob's they all from there. All HM guys
Remeber Chris Taft from PITT too...dude was a beast but a scrub in NBA.
Johnny Flynn from Syracuse
Dre kane at da buzzer! beat paige. N UNC. 412! Stand up
A player like Quinn Cook who is just a cheerleader on the bench while players like Marcus Paige and others aren't. Damn shame!
Quinn Cook is nice lmao
You did Yogi Ferrell yet bro?
What happened to Joel berry II
That’s a good one
Marcus Paige is still fairly young. He could have a shot in the big leagues again.
I legit forgot this dude existed lol
If curry in nba he should have been
If he didn’t get injured he would have done better his senior year
How about Marcus Williams from Uconn
I should get a shoutout I requested him first no kizzy ❗️💯
The NBA only has so many openings available. Paige was good...not great, but a good college player. And that's ok.
ESPN had him as the number 1 pg for a while. He was the beneficiary of a weak pg class.
💯✊🏿... bro can you do a video on my bro brycey Wright I hope with Deron Williams and High School in The Colony he went to Indiana I believe..
Nettyball Ball Yessir! Salute fam thanks for reminding me 💯
@@stuntedgrowth - Not sure how much is out there, but Elijah Ingram was a highly rated PG in that same class as well. Started at St. John's but ended up at New Mexico St. I believe. Brandon Roberson is another one, went to Florida.
@@stuntedgrowth you gotta do a jp tokoto, and quinn cook vid ! Love your videos btw Dope content.❤️
At least he's still making money overseas.. Don't understand why he was switched to 2 GUARD.. All the GREAT point guards in NBA history, from John Stockton, to Magic, could score from anywhere on the court. Why was he not valued on the same level??
Never saw him as a pro. Intrigued on wat ya stunts gonna be.
Are you a Bahamian?
OUR SNIPER!!!
I’ve never liked UNC, even when Jordan was there, because I’m a Maryland fan. This guy should be in the NBA, though. He has more talent than guys like Thabo Sefolosha.
u did kendall marshall yet?
Do lorenzo brown
sad.......................................
Howard Nathan fam. Look him up.
Partizan Belgrade is the best team on Balcan and Serbia
It should always be Lottery/first round pick > NCAA Championship
Now Paige play for Patlidzan
But, he does have a college degree from UNC...
RESPECT MY UNC POINT GAURD..HEY DNT WORRY BOUT DAT LOOK AT WHAT STARBURY DONE DID UNDER SEAS..#TARHEELS4LIFE
