I went to ST. Johns from 90-95. Was anyways in the Gym playing basketball , one day i walk in and Chris Mullin is shooting 3's from about NBA range i asked him if he wanted a rebounder. Well he went 50 for 50 without TOUCHING THE RIM OR BACKBOARD ONCE.. IT WAS LIKE A DREAM BECAUSE IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE , HIS SHOT WAS UNREAL.
@JOSEPH PRATA I'm a HUGE Celtics & Larry Bird fan, but of all the greatest shooters, Chris Mullin had not only the sweetest-looking shot, but I don't think there has been another player in NBA history that seems to swish SO many of his shots (sorry Larry and Steph Curry). When he shot it, they all looked like they were going in.
I have a friend who told me he shot around with Mullin in a gym during the summer when Mullin was at Golden State, and he said the same thing. When shooting around, Mullin simply didn't miss.
@@josephjohnroe3678 i believe it. I seen a dude from Charlotte make 20-25 in a row shooting alone and this guy didn't even make NBA. I have no doubt Chris Mullin could make 50 in a row or that some college kid could walk in on him shooting.
Hate to break it to ya, Mullin had a total of 7 games in his entire career where he scored 40 or more and not 1 time was it vs the Bulls basketball.realgm.com/player/Chris-Mullin/GameLogs/1217/NBA/All
i live in Bay Ridge Brooklyn (where Chris grew up) and there are still people in the neighborhood that knew him and talk about him like the legend that he his.
@@Each21 did he ever play at Rucker Park in Manhattan or was it uncommon coming from another borough to do that. If not pick up games any tournaments maybe? I picture him just balling it up at Rucker.
Possibly. I question if his prime was long enough to put him in the Hall of Fame. Yes, he was one of the best for a period. I'm just not sure that was long enough to put him in the hall. And I feel the same way about Westphal and Moncrief. Great, but for long enough?
Very underrated player . Magic had respect for Mullin , after they played Golden State in the playoff one year . Mullin went off on the Lakers , La still won the series but the world got to see his game on a bigger level .
you know your a hell of a passer when you are getting manute bol open dunks,cheers to the legendary skills of chris mullin ,great vid thanks for posting
"Hondo" He was favorite when I first started learning the game. Our coach said find a guy and try to immulate him. I picked John Havlicek. Loved that whole team!
"RUN TMC" consisted of Mullen, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway Golden State Warrior's tour de Force. Mullen was the centerpiece. 25.7ppg was eighth in the league. Third in rebound(5.4rpg) Ranking 10th in the NBA with 2.1 steals per game. tireless 40.4 minutes a game putting together a streak of 189 consecutive games scoring double figures. When Mullens streak ended so did the Warriors season by the lakers....BOOOM born Steph curry lol.
Dominique Wilkins was wayyyyy more accomplished by 1992 than him. He was the most underrated. Mullins over Wilkins like Duke, s Christian over Shaq, like Stockton over pistons Isiah thomas where all picked because you didn't want only one white player on the dream team. Only Larry bird deserved to be on the team. He is not white so it doesn't matter (lmbo).
Kakashi, you do know that Wilkins was injured don’t you? You do know he played a different position as well. Different skill set, not a shooter. Zeke, well we all know, officially now, why he did not go. John Stockton awful point guard, apart from5000 more assists than anyone, 3000 more steals, more games without missing one, always acknowledged by his fellow pros, yeah, he was rubbish. Leitner was acknowledged as the best college player for 2 years, some have him in the conversation for all time. I personally would have loved Zeke, Shaq and Dominique but please, these others, they were great too. Not because they were white, because they could play.
@@chrismayor2612 politics played a role in it regardless. In 1992 john Stockton hadn't broke any records, zeke was a two time champion and played for a piston team who is the only team to have winning records in the 80,s versus Jordan, magic and bird. Not saying they where trash just saying zeke, Wilkins and Shaq where better at that time especially. Btw Mullin and Wilkins both are small forwards. No hate towards them it's just a political point that you have to have multiple white faces just because. Kinda how Jerry west is the logo and I guess he is the greatest player right. I have no problem being fair but these are the facts. So don't think I'm saying those guys where trash players.
kakashi uchiha Mullen was switched to small forward, was a hot shooter and a 2 guard originally. Was only 6’7” but compared to Bird because of high IQ. Stockton, pro rata then, was way past anyone on assists and steals and health. Zeke is my personal favourite, because of the smiling assassin, small but so skilled and deadly. Bird’s back had gone, Dominique has done his Achilles. The Politics was to have Magic ( out of the game early due to HIV) and Bird, as joint captains, as they saved and relaunched the league, David Stern wanted to reward them, and knew Magic would be wonderful PR. Jordan was a must, as the new face of the NBA and most iconic player. So that ruled out Zeke, injury did for Nique, and Shaq was not the best player in college at all. He was projected to be the best prospect in the NBA, not the same thing. They had Ewing and Robinson as centres, so no need for Shaq ( he would have demanded game time, would have been no ones rookie, and may well have upset the dynamic is an argument that is often used), Malone and Sir Charles at PF with Larry Legend popping in for a handful of minutes. Who were the shooters? Mullen was the best shooter on the team, scoring second highest points. Scotty could play several positions, Jordan was the 2, followed by Glyde. No doubt political in many ways, but not to Nique or Shaq. As for the logo, no idea why Jerry West. By all accounts a great player, but why not Bill Russell or Wilt for example? I do think it was really run by white people then, and there was terrible racism abounding all over the place, not just the NBA. I love basketball history, but more about players and teams, rather than owners. My secret under rated favourite is Ice. George Girvan, read all you can about him. Something else, but he and DR J and Moses, never really got the acclaim, as all stats are NBA only. Stats don’t tell you the whole story. Hence, Stockton has all the records, some of the most unbreakable anyone could argue, but no one is putting him before Magic or Zeke as a point guard. Same way, Leitner had a decent career, but only reason he is remembered is because Shaq was not picked on the dream team. He was however, rated by everyone, and I mean everyone, as a better college player. Second some say only to Kareem.
Pure scorer.. U could not sto him from scoring frm anywhere on the court. He was always outmatched physically but thats what made him. He would use your athleticism against you. Making u contain it and play mentally.

Chris Mullen, Rick Berry, Larry Bird, I have watched all three of them Play, the purest shooters the NBA has ever seen, now their names are hardly mentioned, Mr Clutch Jerry West and the big O Rondo Havlechick
Underrated!? He's in the HOF 2x, 2x Olympic gold, Dream Team, 1st round, 7th overall, GS retired his jersey, major respect among his contemporaries. Millions of fans worldwide to this day. 20 years out and people still talking about his GOAT swish. Chris Mullins is everything except underrated. UnderSTATED, maybe. He never chased the spotlight. Never needed it.
My name is Derek Littleton and I'm from east Tennessee Mullin was My favorite player growing up and all time he always got it done Mullin you'll always be my hero
I never watched college Basketball. Mullin, who's Mullin? I was an ever suffering Warrior's fan looking at this rookie, and I remember seeing him play his first Warriors game, or one of the 1st, and I could tell this guy had understanding of the game. The way he would create from nothing or be in the right place and combine them with hustle. Great shooter. "The Warriors picked up somebody good?", I thought. Because you didn't expect that with Mieuli as the owner. But the team was on the upswing with Richmond and Hardaway. Hmm, Mieuli's doing better.
The writers don't give Chris Mullin a lot of credit. From the late 80s to the early half of the 90s, he was one of the bests, leader of those Warriors squads, and Magic even praised him for his greatness. Whenever I hear topics like "there hasn't been a great American-born white superstar since Larry Bird", I say no, Chris Mullin was definitely one of the very few. Chris is not an upper-tier of all time greats - but he sure was a deadly shooter, short or long range. It's a shame that he was left off from Top 75, and he'd probably get left off from Top 100.
@@sideshowbobsaget8876 Of the original Dream Team roster other than Laettner, it's only him that's not considered one of the greatest ever, or in Top 75. He'd likely get left out of the 100, but not just Chris, I'd guess players from 80s-90s would not be considered for the 100.
To show how Mullin could withstand a barrage from two of the worlds greatest(ever) players and grind out a win. I remember that game as a die hard bulls fan from Chicagoland. Only now can I appreciate it😏
Joe Cook I had the same thought 🤔 as well when the Jordan highlight seemed a bit long and from out of nowhere, BUT, it set up and provided context for the following clip of CM from the same game going toe to toe vs J23 and P33 which then should allow a casual or younger fans to really understand just how dope CM’s game truly was!

Seconding what the other guy said, you can definitely make highlights for players. But if you're making highlights, make something that hasn't been made yet. My idea is that you pick one player, pick several quirks he's quite good at but people often forget and compile them. Make sure it's on a relatively old/retired player as newer ones have tons of highlights out there. I'd be seriously stoked if you'd make a Charles Barkley Passing and 3 Pointer's compilation. By the way, are you on reddit? It's easier to send you links there which may help if ever you're working on a certain player's highlight.
These are W's I Saw at the Oakland Arena, that were Warriors best to me.. Not ranked just the best. Barry , Nate, Mullin, Curry ,Klay. Bernard King was unreal just didn't play for the Dubs long enough
The blue and yellow picture cover .... I see his mouth and cleft-chin but where are his eyes, nose and other facial features? Either Chris had them or he was the best blind basketball player to step on the court.
His skills were just not from hard work, he had God given talent. Like MJ was a great player or Steph now God gave them physical skills . Yes they worked hard maybe better or harder than most , but never discount that they were blessed with ability's most don't have
Kris Mullin has a wetter. When that ball goes through the net like that hits nothing and goes through with a little force that called a wetter. That boy was cold.
NBA all time Caucasian team. PG John Stockton SG Jerry West SF Larry Bird PF Dirk C Bill Walton Backups PG Jason Kidd SG Pete Maravich SF John Havelcik PF Kevin Mchale C Nikola Jokic And to fill out my team with depth and different possibilities Rick Barry and Chris Mullin (go big or go small or put 4 maybe even 5 legitimate shooters on the court) Theres a 2 time mvp left off my team Steve Nash who was left off purely bc of personal opinion, as well as 3 guys far before my time who certainly deserve a mention including an nba champ and mvp Bob Pettit who led the hawks to tbeir only title while dropping 50 points on Bill Russell in a championship game, hall of famer Bob Cousy who is yet another former MVP and yet another Celtic my top 12 included 4 celtics, and also George Mikan the leader of the Minneapolis Lakers the League's most dominant team before Russell's Celtics. By far for me though the 2 most difficult to leave off the list were Luka Donic and Arvydas Sabonis.
Chris Mullins. In a smart system he would've been legendary. Say, a popovich Spurs team. When you got bad legs though, he was looking old by '95...well be4 his Pacers debut. He probably looks the same playing in one o them ol' timers legends game as he did his last few years haha!!
Starting to realize that all the greatest white players of all time are oddly also the most underrated ... Seems whites being dominant at basketball doesn't fit too well with the NBA narrative.
How can he be underrated when he was selected into the dream team? And also HOF? The only discredit done to him was that he wasn’t in the top 50 greatest players of all time.
Sorry, i am old enough to have lived through Mullin's whole career, seeing it up close from the Bay Area as a Warriors fan. And i'm telling you, Chris Mullin wasn't underrated. If anything, Warriors fans overrate him. I'll start with what was great about Mullin (other than his NY kid roots and way about him, which was universally loved. One of few US born white players that was truly liked by brothers in the league.) Mullin had a sweet jumper. Indeed, no doubt about it. But he was also incredibly smooth with the dribble and a great passer. Great court sense in general, great dude, very smooth offensive game. OK, you know what's coming. Defense. I'll again start with the positive. Mullin's great feel for the game, anticipation and hands led to many tip steals and that kind of thing, which at least somewhat mitigated his otherwise terrible D. And it was terrible. Mullin was really slow, and in small areas also wasn't really quick, if you know what i mean by that basketball wise. He meant well, and tried, and yes, had good court sense and hands, but he was just THAT slow that he hurt his team D being a liability while his one on one D was laughable. He played on bad Warriors teams for the most part, and maybe that and his cool demeanor are why he's seen as underrated. But anyone with THAT bad defense cannot almost by definition be underrated because fans tend to underrate D and overrate offensive players who don't play good D. Trying hard at D doesn't cut it. He meant well but was THAT slow and bad at D.
Jump shots aren't boring. You didn't have to keep replaying the same "spectacular" plays you chose. There were at least 5 per every game (way more) moves Mullin made to get open back in the day that created space where none should have existed.
How many times did Mullin go for 40 points or more in his entire career...if you guessed ONLY 7 times you would be correct, in 986 games only 7 times...over rated!
I went to ST. Johns from 90-95. Was anyways in the Gym playing basketball , one day i walk in and Chris Mullin is shooting 3's from about NBA range i asked him if he wanted a rebounder.

These are W's I Saw at the Oakland Arena, that were Warriors best to me.. Not ranked just the best. Barry , Nate, Mullin, Curry ,Klay. Bernard King was unreal just didn't play for the Dubs long enough
Definitely Under Rated as A player and Stone Cold Killer... I miss that Jumper!
Not sure why he's labeled underrated. He was an awesome player contributing during a pivotal period of the NBA .
Mullin bird i due giocatori bianchi più forti di sempre
Prima di Mullin metterei almeno Stockton, Maravich e Nowitzki.
Imagine Mullin in today's game. Up there with Steph as greatest shooters ever seen.
The blue and yellow picture cover .... I see his mouth and cleft-chin but where are his eyes, nose and other facial features? Either Chris had them or he was the best blind basketball player to step on the court.
That's the back of his head my dude lol
Run TMC!!!!
People hype Carmelo Anthony today but Mullins was basically the same player with much better defense so you young guns know
i miss 90's NBA :( - song name 25:00
Sean Price "don't try it"
@@FacePCGaming thx
His skills were just not from hard work, he had God given talent. Like MJ was a great player or Steph now God gave them physical skills . Yes they worked hard maybe better or harder than most , but never discount that they were blessed with ability's most don't have
Kris Mullin has a wetter. When that ball goes through the net like that hits nothing and goes through with a little force that called a wetter. That boy was cold.
2nd most underrated white player for me. With Rick Barry as my #1. Dave Cowens has a case.
NBA all time Caucasian team.
PG John Stockton
SG Jerry West
SF Larry Bird
PF Dirk
C Bill Walton
Backups
PG Jason Kidd
SG Pete Maravich
SF John Havelcik
PF Kevin Mchale
C Nikola Jokic
And to fill out my team with depth and different possibilities Rick Barry and Chris Mullin (go big or go small or put 4 maybe even 5 legitimate shooters on the court)
Theres a 2 time mvp left off my team Steve Nash who was left off purely bc of personal opinion, as well as 3 guys far before my time who certainly deserve a mention including an nba champ and mvp Bob Pettit who led the hawks to tbeir only title while dropping 50 points on Bill Russell in a championship game, hall of famer Bob Cousy who is yet another former MVP and yet another Celtic my top 12 included 4 celtics, and also George Mikan the leader of the Minneapolis Lakers the League's most dominant team before Russell's Celtics.
By far for me though the 2 most difficult to leave off the list were Luka Donic and Arvydas Sabonis.
Chris Mullins. In a smart system he would've been legendary. Say, a popovich Spurs team. When you got bad legs though, he was looking old by '95...well be4 his Pacers debut. He probably looks the same playing in one o them ol' timers legends game as he did his last few years haha!!
How is Chris Mullin underrated? I've never heard anyone say that
Starting to realize that all the greatest white players of all time are oddly also the most underrated ... Seems whites being dominant at basketball doesn't fit too well with the NBA narrative.
Facts
@DICK LONG Havlicek, West, Barry, Maravich, are ahead. Cowens and Cunningham and Stockton probably as well.
@DICK LONG Kevin Mchale?
@DICK LONG 20 white NBA players better than Mchale? I cant think of 10 much less 20
@DICK LONG LONG! DON'T BE A DICK!!!!!!!!!!
How can he be underrated when he was selected into the dream team? And also HOF?
The only discredit done to him was that he wasn’t in the top 50 greatest players of all time.
He's not
Sports Talk With Zo he is easily better than Lenny wilkens
@@sportstalkwithzo3707 he's easily top 30.
I grew up watching him kill but he rarely get's mentioned nowadays...that's reason enough
I think was a big time big East player
'•❤❤❤'•
Pretty sure this guy wasn't underrated every team knew he was the key to victory they game planed around him 🤔
I see a bit of Larry bird in chris mullin's play
Mullin Bird Curry best shooters ever
Aside from Micheal Rappaport Chris has the strongest New York accent from a white dude.
Sorry, i am old enough to have lived through Mullin's whole career, seeing it up close from the Bay Area as a Warriors fan. And i'm telling you, Chris Mullin wasn't underrated. If anything, Warriors fans overrate him.
I'll start with what was great about Mullin (other than his NY kid roots and way about him, which was universally loved. One of few US born white players that was truly liked by brothers in the league.) Mullin had a sweet jumper. Indeed, no doubt about it. But he was also incredibly smooth with the dribble and a great passer. Great court sense in general, great dude, very smooth offensive game.
OK, you know what's coming. Defense. I'll again start with the positive. Mullin's great feel for the game, anticipation and hands led to many tip steals and that kind of thing, which at least somewhat mitigated his otherwise terrible D.
And it was terrible. Mullin was really slow, and in small areas also wasn't really quick, if you know what i mean by that basketball wise. He meant well, and tried, and yes, had good court sense and hands, but he was just THAT slow that he hurt his team D being a liability while his one on one D was laughable.
He played on bad Warriors teams for the most part, and maybe that and his cool demeanor are why he's seen as underrated. But anyone with THAT bad defense cannot almost by definition be underrated because fans tend to underrate D and overrate offensive players who don't play good D. Trying hard at D doesn't cut it. He meant well but was THAT slow and bad at D.
But nobody gives him his flowers nowadays
Underrated not really. Dude is a Hall of famer. Back in the day he was a beast.
The scrapiest no nonsense Guards to play the game, this is why I rate so called King James 10- 16
This guy was even whiter than Larry Bird. lol
Irish on both sides.
Mullin is Bird + Luka
Just say no to drugs
How was he underrated if he was on the original dream team? 🤷♀️
He didnt get enough spotlights like others
👍
Jump shots aren't boring. You didn't have to keep replaying the same "spectacular" plays you chose. There were at least 5 per every game (way more) moves Mullin made to get open back in the day that created space where none should have existed.

Underrated? I don't know if HoF player is underrated?
"The Eminem of professional basketball."
The thumbnail looks like he got bad hair implants!!!
Why would you play such obnoxiously terrible music over what would have been an enjoyable highlight mix? Had to turn it off.
Larry Bird over shined him, due to his era. I think Chris Mullin was better in my opinion skill wise.
Worst haircut in the history of sport
How many times did Mullin go for 40 points or more in his entire career...if you guessed ONLY 7 times you would be correct, in 986 games only 7 times...over rated!
they also had Tim H. and Richmond for some years then Reggie Miller and Rose.
@Pepe Lopez yeah and Sprewell too for a bit...so he was with other pretty good scorers.
