The thing i admired about Sauce was that he found his lane and was never worried about going to a higher level. Dude was in movies , music videos, and video games. He had the best and 1 career. Hot sauce was my favorite growing up , dude had the whole country tryna dribble like him. He had the biggest influence too in my opinion. Main Event might’ve been a stunted growth player as well. i think he was supposed to be coached by van gundy. If you could ? Main event would be dope.
Best comment hands down. Some people find reasons to talk down on anything to make themself feel better but fact will still remain sauce came and conquered his own lane. That And1 era was a game changer.
Nah not even close Skip birthed all these guys that came that were not from New York....and Alimoe was the best right after Skip...Sauce was just more hype than anything else he wasn't doing anything that special Skip and Alimoe are the TRUTH!!!!
@@princeluv4804 Like Bone Collector said, Sauce was the king of the entertainment. Whenever And 1 had street games with NBA rules, Sauce didn't play. We all knew why, even the crowd would clown him for it. Point is, Sauce was there to be the flashy guy. He took streetball to another level and did it very well. When it came to the most fundamentally sound players on And 1, Skip and Alimoe had it.
He the reason I really started pursuing basketball. I could already shoot but when I started working on my handles I noticed how much it helped my game as a whole.....ended up playing all around the US with my high school and AAU teams.....even made and started for my JUCO basketball team. Basketball made me a better athlete and better man. Thanx sauce
But Iverson had the whole package he was good at crossovers, he could shoot, and he had way more fundamentals then Sauce, Sauce was only good at crossovers and could barely shoot
Jamal Crawford always reminded me of the modern day HotSauce with a outside shot. He was like the boy nextdoor u always wanted to root for that made it to the League...Both could have played brothers in a urban basketball film where Crawford had the length, bounce too catch alley oosp and handle to be his own stunt double and hotsauce had the tricks and style. Crawford was the best player to never make a Allstar team. But he has crazy street cred tho as a playground and Drew league legend.
Im from that generation of Skip and Booger and Speedy from Above The Rim Sauce was cold but we didn't really try to emulate Sauce cuz even in the street we call all that traveling, doubling and overall foolishness And 1 turned into by 2003. When people started sliding under people legs and Sauce was moonwalking we was thru wit it.
@@elbowgang9715 You speak foolishness. I was there. Everyone was doubling, carrying and traveling. Especially Skip, his signature skip move was illegal like shit. You might be able to fool the youngins but like I said, I was there.
@@elbowgang9715 hell u talking bout lol Skip to my Lou aka Rafer Alston that played for Houston rockets, travels, shit his name skip to my Lou even screams travel. he got called traveling in the NBA sometimes
The new era will never know how important street ball/AND1 was back in the day, growing up watching the old mixtapes and being an A.I fan this was everything and also made me a Fan of the sport. It all was spectacle and street hype like rucker park ect. but as a kid during this time. boy ohh boy.
I am one of those kids and im from country of philippines 😂😂up until today im already on my late 20's Im still doing the hot sauce moves like when I was a teenager its always a good vibes to learn hot sauce moves and probably will practice moves until i get old in the future
I played with dudes like him growing up. He really wasn't a ball player. That being said he found his lane, was sick at it, and made a nice income for himself while doing what he wanted. In my book he won. Not everyone that picks up a ball is cut for the league, and cats like him would not have even made a D1 team, but think about it, you really think he even cared about that. Props to hot sauce.
Lol he easily could of made a mid major team stop it I hoop. With guys who could played D1 every day they played in high school but we had a bad program because our school was new didn’t have our own gym switching coaches every year and they didn’t take basketball serious enough grades fluctuated but have effective size and athleticism for their position and history of organized basketball but our school program was just demotivating
stuntedgrowth when people think D1 people forget there are schools like Chicago st.. Southern Illinois... NIU are listed as D1 size for position and athleticism is a big factor also ... lol sure hot sauce would need a lot of coaching for organized basketball by talent was there
@@stevenwhiters8928 naw dawg its LEVELS to this shit. Play against against a nigga from the hood going to a mid major and see how good he is. Sauce would get murdered. Its a reason why Skip,AO,Headache and Sik Wit It were all better basketball players than him as well as the late Alimoe. They all really played on a high level.
Stephen May yeah sauce was a entertainer I honestly don’t think he can play regular basketball at an elite level, and he maybe could have made a D1 back in those days like beginning 2000’s but even then he would probably get killed, it’s a lot of ballers that are good in the neighborhood and at the local high school but when they get recruited and get to those elite schools they see everybody there is on a different level or was the best in their area, sauce is just a entertainer
@LionsAllday DETROIT facts my dawg Skip all real legend on the streetball tip and made it to the NBA Finals as a starting point guard and made over 40 million guaranteed dollars. Sauce definitely mad just like Main Event was in 2003.
I doubt he would have been able to play D1 ball but the creativity of his original moves are some of the most outside of the box plays I have ever seen!
No matter what he is a legend. Even if you took all the double dribbling, and the over exaggerating carrying out his game he still had a deadly handle.
He was cold af at putting on a show by having that ball on a string but he had too many flaws to be considered for the league. His game didn't have enough structure (lacked polishing), he was undersized, had a set shot, too slow, lacked coaching and discipline.
Every sport has variations, Sauce was non fundamentals all handles and AND1 allowed him to do his way, he never had a passion for the simple ways of the NBA, i play soccer and alot of players play futsal a dribbling, tricks game. Sauce could have been NBA but his passion was handles AND1 was fun he got paid to dribble.
I pulled into my cul-de-sac a couple of years ago and saw two kids outside with a basketball. The little one had crazy handling skills. I got and asked him who taught him to dribble and he said..."Hot Sauce is my 1st cousin". Of course I didn't believe him at first until they started saying a lot of stuff about him. I was was neighbors with Hot Sauce's Aunt and didn't even know it...lol
And 1 threw him under the bus . Market him as the front of the movement then out the blue wanted him to take a seat while they promote professor off his talents
Pretty much. I rock with fes too but sauce was my favorite. They started to throw him under. Especially when he got injured. Guess cause fess was up and coming and new
@@sonofapollo5892 I forgot what season but it was its hand/wrist then he had another injury too,but also cause if him doing crossover the movie and Him having his son
Devonte Blake they threw him under the bus for doing crossover and other things, i remember those episodes and those dudes were hating on sauce that season, he never said he was the best basketball player, he was a streetball icon that rivaled the likes of Allen Iberian at that time because of his moves and entertainment value
......and both dudes took from Sauce, so what what's that say? The only one out of those two that proved they could get it shakin with NBA comp was Bone. If Sauce wanted to go pro, he would have.
Nah sauce really didnt have game like that I watched and had all tapes he rarely shot or can shoot and he really loves to just dribble he wasnt cut for it but he didnt care
@@Uforyah we all steal from each other fam good artist copy great artist steal ... bone and prof are great they stole a little and made alot from it just like niggas all of them stole from shamgod and skip stole from god and everybody else stole from them.... its sauce fault he didnt maximize off the visualization of himself... I'm pretty sure hes besting himself up for it a little but he just like wateva
What a well-made video! This captivated me the way you reminded us of so many nuances of And 1. The way the sections were broken up into parts with hot sauce related headings was a nice touch. Great content!
You're Captivated? Captivated by Sauce Not the video. The main question is answered with Nothing but speculation and that didn't even get to the truth because you can't truly answer it without an INTERVIEW!! My kid brother could've made a better vid and I don't even have one. Get it! Proof: Name ONE thing learned from this vid that a Sauce fan DID NOT already know. Eeeeeexactly. These vids ain't free, cause you pay with your time which is more valuable than money so don't settle for less. And yes I'm mad cause I watched this whole vid waiting for Sizzle to answer in his OWN WORDS why he never got to the league. Everything else was speculation from miles away, literally and figuratively. If you wanna know if your girlfriend really loves you, do you ask her brother in-law or do you get the answer straight from her? Sigh.
He could’ve been a Globtrotter for sure, probably still can be! We (me and my boy Ty Crane from movie Coach Carter) got him in the Pro runs up at UCLA one summer. He didn’t do well and it exposed that he couldn’t shoot as the NBA players just backed off of him daring him to shoot. He looked really uncomfortable and I felt bad for him as he was a real cool dude off the court. He took his talents all the way to Hollywood!! Smart Man!!😎
Hot sauce literally was the most popular baller at one point. His skills helped me step up my dribbling skills. He was doing stuff that no one else was doing
Spot on with everything except his height. He was 6'1". You can tell it on your clip at SportCenter at 6:14. He also put a couple dunks down with And1. Couldn't of did that without that height because he wasn't very athletic
He wasn't a ballplayer, he was an entertainer... one of the most creative people ever with a basketball but that's where it ends...💯💯💯 Anybody who watched the And one tour show back in the days understands...
He was'nt quik enough? When you throwing the ball, running without it, then running to it while being defended, you quik. His ball handling provided him with so many options. Rafer Alston had the nba qualities they were looking for. Big Troy escalade was sweet. Grayson still does his thing.
@@L92185 Well damn that was a strong reply... "Hell no"... really? He is a shade taller than Professor and the Professor is definitely taller than 5'8. Maybe you should Google it man.
I think guys like Hot Sauce and Professor deserve a spot at neismith memorial basketball hall of fame, their contribution to the basketball community is just as important as many other professional players out there.
They called me 3120066 Nah Hotsauce was the main attraction. Of course some dudes had more game and a better resume,but everyone wanted to see Hotsauce
I still have that Crossover DVD in my room. Might go home and watch it. Don’t forget that he was also playing roles in video games. They had him in NBA Ballers.
Great vid. Can honestly say I wasn't to caught up with Hot Sauce. Thought he was soft as i was watching that show . When games got real he always seem to back down (i..e against NY and Chi.). But with that said can't deny he inspired a movement. So props to him for that.
Going through it, it seemed like and1 was around a lot longer than it actually was. I remember as a yute, I’d walk down to run n shoot and seeing him in there dribbling in the dance studio/yoga room and he’d be in there dribbling for hours. All these games go by until he finally comes to the court, and he balls out. No tricks, just hooping.
Listen I understand the style didn't fit with the nba, but everyone is taking away from a player being able to adapt and adjust. His handle outside of carrying and the travel shit. I think he could've adjusted if given the proper training and coaches. People talk about statue but there were plenty of small guards 5'9 or short that made it so that argument should be dismissed. His jumpshot was slow but there's plenty of unorthodox jumpshots in the league. People underestimate people willing to adapt and adjust. You talking about a guy who life was basketball.
This is a close friend of mines Phillip use to practice in run n shoot in the mirror all day everyday to make it out the hood where we where from in Atlanta we sleep in run n shoot 24 hours a day so we didn't have to pay gym again I was a court monitor during those adolescent years he actually got into so trouble running the streets with the wrong crowd and had a criminal record I think it was stealing cars if I'm not mistaking but he was a good childhood friend that one day I hope to catch up with go sauce boi you made something of yourself I glad to see people document ur life bro
I actually got to to meet hot sauce and the crew in 2007 they played against a few guys at my local high school. I swear the announcer stays roasting everyone! It was so fun watching hot sauce play! I even took a photo with him but I’m not even sure where I placed it!!!!! Hot sauce got mad game!
I didn't even watch the video. The title itself didn't make sense. He didn't want to go in the league. He was an entertainer. He knew it, he was great at it and he had fun. Not hating on you at all but this video should just be a quick history of Sauce. Not why he didn't make the league. He wasn't trying to. He can't boomerang anyone in the league lol
All I gotta say is Run🏀and shoot" on metropolitan was the spot sauce got his shine before and1 that's facts, I knew him before the fame I still have tapes of us at run and shoot
He didnt have game he was a dribbler a showman an entertainer couldn't shoot never had a true floor game like Skip , A.O. , Alimoe , Professor and dudes like Bad Santa for sure
You forget about skill that he had or should I say the skills that he had. He could have been the new Rodman! If he had passed the ball to the right people doing what he did he would have been a miracle on the NBA court. Think about it.
@@rata_laadat He mostly played in the G league for a couple seasons, but was charged with multiple gun charges and sent to jail. He is now playing pro in Mexico.
News flash: Appling was recently arrested in Warren Michigan by Warren P.D. for driving erratically. Upon being stopped, found with Heroin and a gun...looking at a stretch up state. Ole boy done like And 1. Google it.....smh
derekTrip12 played against him In AAU at The Adidas camp. That dude was quick as af with dumb bounce, being under 6ft that was crazy to see. I think he played for Memphis Magic if I’m remembering correctly
Fun fact: none of that stuff works in organized basketball, he would have got eaten up alive in the league by dudes that are bigger, stronger and faster
@@flyjr22 he cant i seen this bum try and got laughed out the park he couldn't get one decent move off. He couldn't even make a good highschool team and you talking about the nba
This is not my account but this is Sauce I actually started in the NBA right after high school the first game of the season for the Hawks in 07-08 also starred that game with injuries then later traded to the Pacers where that game we won against the heat while we were down in the fourth by at least fourteen points I want to say but I did get the game winning buckets in that game by helping the team come back.
Sorry Bruh I knew him from when he was 15, 16....... his style never changed. I actually gave him my VHS of Georgetown Big East Tournament to show him how much he looked like A.I....... and also move the same. He was blown away. You have to understand Sauce didn’t watch basketball. NBA or College. He was in the gym 24/7 most weeks. The thing about Sauce was he make moves everyday. He and a few dribbling guys at the gym. They had their own style. But when your more famous. It has to be your style 1st right😊 I’m just saying. A.I was my favorite player. And I knew Phil before I even knew who Iverson was......I’ve been watching since the days of Grand MaMa at UNLV just to give prospective.
@@iamteamyou I hear what you saying plus hot sauce ain't no young buck hes about Iverson age right I know he definitely not in his 30s no more that's my cousin older mans and my cuzzo like 39 now
I played basketball all my life an that and1 sauce tape changed my life & my game. I micked every hotsauce move from that video. My first time seeing it was in foot action an i was blown away. I had to have that video. HotSauce And1 GOAT 🐐
@@alexmejia8296 Ummm yea he is. So is bone collector. Hot Sauce literally created a lane strictly for handles and tricks. Boomerang, The Jacknife, Flintstone shuffle, Sauce 2k, etc. Everybody dribbled like him.
Do you really think he is the one that invented all those moves?? Streetball didn’t start in the 90’s. And1 started in the 90’s. Earl manigault, Connie Hawkins, peewee Kirkland, etc.
I remember flying my mom from L.A. to Reno for a concert. It was about 2002 and we went to a casino, and I sat and played Keno and the tv was on a the sports book, and the And1 game was on, and I'd never seen it. That dude was special!
Dude should've came out with his own hot sauce couldve made plenty doe!
Facts💯 that would've been legendary
Word. Still can. Can't believe he or and1 hasn't already. They missing out!
Hell yeah definitely back then
Yeah u right and copyrighted that shit called it Dribble Hot Sauce
And 1s hot sauce! All u need is a dribble😂😂 ima need yall to cut a check for that slogan😂
Sauce wasn’t league material, he was the A.I. Of the streets and a legend at that 💯
Facts!
Yea a.i is in another world
Elaborate??🤔
@Jamal Vines yup the DC crossover is what Iverson used which what the majority of us use now
@Jamal Vines you are very correct bro. I used to play in NY, NJ, all over SC but i never seen that crossover style til i got to the DMV

The And 1 brand was like the Hip Hop rival alternative to the Harlem Globetrotters so they might not had wanyed to mess with any of the And 1 stars.
that would have been a perfect fit but he may have been under contract.
He’s not good enough to play on globetrotters
No way. This is a disrespectful comment. He was next level entertainment and didnt need someone to fake defense.
Globetrotters aren't even special. They're your average, everyday people playing with a ball with a magnet in it.

He could’ve been a Globtrotter for sure, probably still can be! We (me and my boy Ty Crane from movie Coach Carter) got him in the Pro runs up at UCLA one summer. He didn’t do well and it exposed that he couldn’t shoot as the NBA players just backed off of him daring him to shoot. He looked really uncomfortable and I felt bad for him as he was a real cool dude off the court. He took his talents all the way to Hollywood!! Smart Man!!😎
Awesome video and production bro. Hot Sauce was my favorite streetballer back when i was a kid.
"Hot Sauce came down (to the pro-am) and they was calling that man Ketchup by the time he left."
-Shump
Hot sauce literally was the most popular baller at one point. His skills helped me step up my dribbling skills. He was doing stuff that no one else was doing
he was dope s a Streetball entertainer, i enjoyed being a part of the show not as a baller but as the official And 1 Dj in 2003...
Spot on with everything except his height. He was 6'1". You can tell it on your clip at SportCenter at 6:14. He also put a couple dunks down with And1. Couldn't of did that without that height because he wasn't very athletic
Hot Sauce made me wanna ball out everyday an watching the And 1 mix tapes were fire

Lowkey this was a crazy highlight reel lol. I think And 1 could have kept going. It’s just the owners sold the company and it was over after that.

Looking back at some of these highlights, Sauce was like a samurai traveling court to court to see who could guard him.

Now that's funny
@@loonertic7337 SHUT UP
Good friend of mine..... that’s my guy!!!!!
Sauce was always at the Shoot 24/7
Also used to stay overnight in gym lol
Yes we did!!!!!💯
Sauce got some shit he working on I know him personally
Bro you should do stunted growth of why some teams fell short of expectations! Love your videos bro
Really good video man, killed it with the narration.
subbed
Thank you! 💯
Couple suggestions
Main event
Prime objective
Scottie Reynolds
Yes. Main and Shane was the best combo in And 1. Prime was probably the best scorer, along with Baby Shack.
Nextbesthing81 you speaking nothing but facts prime was a pure scorer with a polished game.
Baby Shaq was a monster but Alimoe aka Black Widow was my favorite player dude was cold.
First video I watched from you ever, that was a great and informative video. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
He wasn't a ballplayer, he was an entertainer... one of the most creative people ever with a basketball but that's where it ends...💯💯💯 Anybody who watched the And one tour show back in the days understands...
this is like asking why a circus acrobat cant make the olympics lmao
He was'nt quik enough? When you throwing the ball, running without it, then running to it while being defended, you quik. His ball handling provided him with so many options. Rafer Alston had the nba qualities they were looking for. Big Troy escalade was sweet. Grayson still does his thing.

He definitely did his thing!

Man I was thinking about this guy. Can't wait!
5'9?! Is'nt Hot Sauce like 6'1?
Kam Shewtin hell no he 5’8
@@L92185 Well damn that was a strong reply... "Hell no"... really? He is a shade taller than Professor and the Professor is definitely taller than 5'8. Maybe you should Google it man.
Kam Shewtin you cried in the car?
Kam Shewtin Facts I hung out with him in Augusta when he came with his other friend from the military
Yea he is
I still remember Steve Francis's spot on one of the first And 1 mixtapes that came out back around 2000 on vhs.

I think guys like Hot Sauce and Professor deserve a spot at neismith memorial basketball hall of fame, their contribution to the basketball community is just as important as many other professional players out there.
Not
Hell no
@@mowabb yez
@@trollbrochina hot sauce was trash my guy
I used to play ball with Phillip Champion at Run & Shot here in GA, good times, I used to spend the night at that place.
The Bone collector would be more deserved at least he played in college
They called me 3120066 Nah Hotsauce was the main attraction. Of course some dudes had more game and a better resume,but everyone wanted to see Hotsauce
@@FlashGordon2fast FAX!!!
I love watching sauce do his thing 👏🏽
I still have that Crossover DVD in my room. Might go home and watch it. Don’t forget that he was also playing roles in video games. They had him in NBA Ballers.
And the AND1 game on PS2 that was and still is the best ball game ever
LAME
I worked at "Run N Shoot" in Atlanta back in the late 90s when Sauce was honing his skills. He was 6ft tall.
Great vid.
Can honestly say I wasn't to caught up with Hot Sauce. Thought he was soft as i was watching that show . When games got real he always seem to back down (i..e against NY and Chi.).
But with that said can't deny he inspired a movement. So props to him for that.
Sauce was garbage, he bluffed twice in DC at the GATES. In short he had no game!
@@1300mikehoward thank you. It was DC thought it was Chi. It was like he was scare to play. Think Pharmacist had his heart.
@@JustDoingMe - Hot Sauce wears panties, I think DC was chatting in the crowd, while he hind and no excuses
He did what worked for him and stayed in his lane... he achieved success to me...
I remember back 2002 me and my friends running to footl locker to grab the and 1 mixtape
Subscribe to my channel !!!!
Good video my dude...Bone collector next?
Done
He was the only one from and1 that was traveling, carrying, and double dribbling
😂😂😂😂
Going through it, it seemed like and1 was around a lot longer than it actually was.
I remember as a yute, I’d walk down to run n shoot and seeing him in there dribbling in the dance studio/yoga room and he’d be in there dribbling for hours. All these games go by until he finally comes to the court, and he balls out. No tricks, just hooping.
His merch game cuda ben crazzyyy!
Hahaha ball thrown in the crowd.... “good shit my G” 😂 that was gold
Listen I understand the style didn't fit with the nba, but everyone is taking away from a player being able to adapt and adjust. His handle outside of carrying and the travel shit. I think he could've adjusted if given the proper training and coaches. People talk about statue but there were plenty of small guards 5'9 or short that made it so that argument should be dismissed. His jumpshot was slow but there's plenty of unorthodox jumpshots in the league. People underestimate people willing to adapt and adjust. You talking about a guy who life was basketball.
He tried out for the nba and got dusted.
This is a close friend of mines Phillip use to practice in run n shoot in the mirror all day everyday to make it out the hood where we where from in Atlanta we sleep in run n shoot 24 hours a day so we didn't have to pay gym again I was a court monitor during those adolescent years he actually got into so trouble running the streets with the wrong crowd and had a criminal record I think it was stealing cars if I'm not mistaking but he was a good childhood friend that one day I hope to catch up with go sauce boi you made something of yourself I glad to see people document ur life bro
He’s not from Florida he from Atlanta Georgia
He from jacksonville fl, but rep atlanta he got on there. But he slide thru to the park every now n then cuzo !! I know all his family
He was a military brat. We went to school together in Nuremberg Germany
Blake I was born in Decatur Ga which makes you correct
I actually got to to meet hot sauce and the crew in 2007 they played against a few guys at my local high school. I swear the announcer stays roasting everyone! It was so fun watching hot sauce play! I even took a photo with him but I’m not even sure where I placed it!!!!! Hot sauce got mad game!
Great story. Yea, dude had game for real and in that time, everyone loved him.
I didn't even watch the video. The title itself didn't make sense. He didn't want to go in the league. He was an entertainer. He knew it, he was great at it and he had fun. Not hating on you at all but this video should just be a quick history of Sauce. Not why he didn't make the league. He wasn't trying to. He can't boomerang anyone in the league lol
💯
Keep up the good work homie. I was just wondering if you had done a video on Future already? If not that would be a good one.
All I gotta say is Run🏀and shoot" on metropolitan was the spot sauce got his shine before and1 that's facts, I knew him before the fame I still have tapes of us at run and shoot
Gabe Yung facts
I know him personally, and our old sons played together. The most humble dude.
ALI-MOE not alamo S.I.P The Black Widow Harlem legend 💯
NICE WORK ‼️🙌🏾
He didnt have game he was a dribbler a showman an entertainer couldn't shoot never had a true floor game like Skip , A.O. , Alimoe , Professor and dudes like Bad Santa for sure
Yooo I forgot about alimoe he was good
You forget about skill that he had or should I say the skills that he had. He could have been the new Rodman! If he had passed the ball to the right people doing what he did he would have been a miracle on the NBA court. Think about it.
My man man not have been league material but he undoubtedly changed the way the game is played
Who remember the and1 video game on ps2??
Street hoops was actually fun as hell, i had it on the gamecube
Man ole dude was cold af. Memory lane
You should do Keith Appling. He was suppose to be Detroits next best thing until the streets called
PG for MSU? He played with Gary Harris I think I thought he turned out pretty good in The league I just think he never got a chance
@@rata_laadat He mostly played in the G league for a couple seasons, but was charged with multiple gun charges and sent to jail. He is now playing pro in Mexico.
@@chrisculpert311 Got you bro. Sounds interesting
News flash: Appling was recently arrested in Warren Michigan by Warren P.D. for driving erratically. Upon being stopped, found with Heroin and a gun...looking at a stretch up state. Ole boy done like And 1. Google it.....smh
Bruh what an amazing writing and delivery
Bruh what about the point guard Joe Jackson from Memphis. You remember him came out of high school around 2010
derekTrip12 played against him In AAU at The Adidas camp. That dude was quick as af with dumb bounce, being under 6ft that was crazy to see. I think he played for Memphis Magic if I’m remembering correctly
Idk. Word on the street, everyone was calling him Ketchup
Fun fact: none of that stuff works in organized basketball, he would have got eaten up alive in the league by dudes that are bigger, stronger and faster
The illegal moves wouldn't have been allowed but did you not see him make the NBA player fall! Lol!
You guys act like a nigga can't switch his game up if he wanted to. I'm sure if he wanted to play straight to the basket-ball he could
@@flyjr22 he cant i seen this bum try and got laughed out the park he couldn't get one decent move off. He couldn't even make a good highschool team and you talking about the nba
This is not my account but this is Sauce I actually started in the NBA right after high school the first game of the season for the Hawks in 07-08 also starred that game with injuries then later traded to the Pacers where that game we won against the heat while we were down in the fourth by at least fourteen points I want to say but I did get the game winning buckets in that game by helping the team come back.
When I lived in ATL I would see him all the time at the run and shoot and he was dope! God bless him.
Great value Iverson... He was dope.. met him @ my college years back.. got an autograph for my little brother
Hey that first stunt was enough bro.
For one he had a identity crisis and thought he was allen Iverson but wasnt
Sorry Bruh I knew him from when he was 15, 16....... his style never changed.
I actually gave him my VHS of Georgetown Big East Tournament to show him how much he looked like A.I....... and also move the same.
He was blown away.
You have to understand Sauce didn’t watch basketball. NBA or College. He was in the gym 24/7 most weeks.
The thing about Sauce was he make moves everyday. He and a few dribbling guys at the gym. They had their own style.
But when your more famous. It has to be your style 1st right😊
I’m just saying. A.I was my favorite player. And I knew Phil before I even knew who Iverson was......I’ve been watching since the days of Grand MaMa at UNLV
just to give prospective.
@@iamteamyou I hear what you saying plus hot sauce ain't no young buck hes about Iverson age right I know he definitely not in his 30s no more that's my cousin older mans and my cuzzo like 39 now
@@bronxbully6261 a.i. and hot sauce like brothers from another mutha lol
Very thoughtful content!
Because he committed ball carries and traveled! The league has rules!
Facts 👍
I played basketball all my life an that and1 sauce tape changed my life & my game. I micked every hotsauce move from that video. My first time seeing it was in foot action an i was blown away. I had to have that video. HotSauce And1 GOAT 🐐
You just gotta play some pat Beverley defense on cats like that and they’ll crack
Here to say “ketchup” 😭😭😭
The league. Dude was great at street ball, but the league..No way
Love the content you been posting keep grinding bro! I wanted to know if you can do a stunted growth on former Michigan St guard Keith Appling
Got you
Kid was a problem i was wondering what happened to him.
Professor still eating off his moves.....all recycled and he still getting money....I WONDER WHY? HMMMM
Hes not living off hot sauces moves wtf
@@alexmejia8296 Ummm yea he is. So is bone collector. Hot Sauce literally created a lane strictly for handles and tricks. Boomerang, The Jacknife, Flintstone shuffle, Sauce 2k, etc. Everybody dribbled like him.
Professor has his own shit too though cut it out
How is that his moves and the professor grind hard to get where he's at
Do you really think he is the one that invented all those moves?? Streetball didn’t start in the 90’s. And1 started in the 90’s. Earl manigault, Connie Hawkins, peewee Kirkland, etc.
I remember flying my mom from L.A. to Reno for a concert. It was about 2002 and we went to a casino, and I sat and played Keno and the tv was on a the sports book, and the And1 game was on, and I'd never seen it. That dude was special!
Dude was all hype. There were better players on and1 than hot sauce
