I have a bad feeling Derrick Rose is going to end up here one day
+Qaaman's Land I still have faith in my man D Rose
Same
+Mike Korzemba nah he sucks
+Qaaman's Land When are you doing a review on episode 38?
me to with anymore injuries
penny was a beast...i ve never seen a rookie played with so much poise....he torched scottie friggin pippen...could shoot, play defense, 3 range, high iq.....complete package..
He was an amazing young star.
Prime Bias potential, Tmac ,Penny or Hill?
mak hines lebron james was literally better than penny at everything except hisnhabdles and midrange as a rookie.
fc_jwhy YOU ARE FUCKING NUTTS!! LEBRON CANT TOUCH PENNY!!
Penny and Grant Hill were legends and it was heartbreaking to see them leave the game so early with injuries.
penny is a legend in my eyes
Definitely a legend!
Yeah he should take this down for having him in pic
I agree he’s a fuckin legend
He was a BEAST !!!!
Penny is a legend, no doubt. And Grant Hill too. Those guys made it look so easy, was awesome to watch them.
D Rose is the modern day Penny. Tragic. Sometimes it's just not meant to be.
:(
brandon roy comes to mind, his last few real games he hit shots like a true pro
Portland has the worst luck greg oden, Brandon Roy, bill Walton and Sam bowie. Sam bowie was the worst cause they took Sam bowie instead of Micheal Jordan
Keith Zachary Jesus
+Keith Zachary include also Larue Martin. Worst number 1 pick by the Blazers. They can pick Erving instead of that trash.
Penny Hardaway was an absolute beast, If his body didn't fail him we would be talking about at the least a top 10 all time player.
Yeah I remember him being a beast too, but just looked up his stats and they're pretty underwhelming. His best season 21 points, 7 assist, 4 rebounds. I was expecting something like 25 points, 10 assist and 6 rebounds
Penny was that dude yo!
Man he was special, still one of my all-time favorites
Penny = favorite player of all time. Definitely would have went to HOF
Muggsy Bougues should be considered a legend. The fact that he played in the NBA AT
5 ft 3 and not only that, but he actually started.
no
+Spikedude55 I agree
+Spikedude55 i agree he is one of the best players of all time considering his size. But i also like him because he played on the Toronto Raptors.
Dats not a reason to clarify someone as great because of size and position..smh
+Derrick Howard youre right....but he was still pretty good. Starting PG on a really good team at the time.
Where is brian scalabrine? Dude should have been a 10x rookie of the year if it wasnt for his sitting on the bench to allow the lakers win the champ
#whitemamba
111x MVP
He's not on there cuz he's already an all-time great
He isn't on a list of people who could've been legends because he is a legend.
All these scalabrine jokes are fucking lame.
definitely Penny. He easily would have been a top 10 GOAT if he continued.
monte1 b. : I don’t know about “easily,” but there would have been debates over the lower top-10 and top-15, with Penny, Kobe, Dr. J, Bird, Oscar, A.I., Isiah, Stockton, and West.
He definitely would have been in that top-15 conversation.
It has gotten to the point where we can’t realistically talk top-10 anymore; because too many players could belong.
Definitely bro...my favorite player of all time!
Him and t-mac
I'm not convinced he would have been top 10. He would have had to improved quite a bit to cross that threshold
@@sebclot9478 I disagree 1000% look at what he accomplished in the short time he had in the league. With more time he would have been at least top 10
Bill Walton is the greatest center in Portland history
Penny hardaway is the best point guard in Magic history
Knees and cocaine... the deadliest superstar killers. Thanks for the heads up.
blackcreekvillage , Heavy pot and alcohol use has stopped a lot of players too. Derrick Coleman comes to mind.
cocaine makes musicians come up with some bomb ass material though...
Mister Miggs no but ruins they’re career
Your ability to show us old, obscure video clips and newspaper and magazine articles is one of the things that make your channel a cut above the rest.
+sakecity7 I'm glad you enjoy those. I'll try to add in more in my future videos
Mike Korzemba Hell yeah because a lot of people say things in their videos but it's much more powerful when we actually see it
+Mike Korzemba post more of these what if videos
+ Mike Korzemba What if Red Auerbach got his hands on Pistol Pete in 1970 instead of 1980?
Penny was already an all time great!
should of had Brandon Roy on the list
no doubt
Brandon Roy was an All Star. He wasn't a game changing legend like all these guys. There's a difference between an all-star and First-Team NBA dude who wins championships.
@@nathanbranson9149 you never really watched Brandon Roy did you?
@@edrazo31 I remember him. The title of this says these players would have been "all time greats." I never thought "All Time Great" whenever I saw Brandon Roy play. I thought "All Star." Did you think he was headed for the Hall of fame?
@@nathanbranson9149 yes sir
Penny was an amazing player, I remember he stood equal against Jordan in couple of games.
Penny Hardaway- Big shame. Loved him in 1996. Then Shaq left,,,and he got injured,,,,
@peter tuann to be fair, after the fact and researching a bit it turns out that the Magic org is actual dogshit. the Lakers put up some 106 mill for Shaq and the Magic only put up 50. Every star leaves the Magic. Shaq, T-Mac, Dwight Howard, etc.
Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway would've been Kobe level great. Sad they got hit with injuries.
LOVE Penny Hardaway. He was such a gracious player ever, right up there with pete maravich hakeem ollajowon and clyde drexler.
penny Hardaway is a legend
If you want to, follow me at www.twitch.tv/mikekorzemba because I want to talk basketball with you guys!
Also, the 7 players on this list were in no particular order. And, here are 3 honorable mentions and why I left them off.
Brandon Roy- I feel like he was going to stay around an all star level and would not have been a superstar. Still a great player, but not an all time great.
Jay Williams- Didn’t exactly light the world on fire during his rookie season (averaged 9.5 ppg) when he was already 21. Obviously players can improve tremendously from their rookie season onward, but I couldn’t justify him making the list of 7.
Yao Ming- The hardest cut. My reasoning behind this decision is that Yao played 7 full seasons in the NBA. During that time, he was never considered a top 5 player (never first team all NBA). We already know what his full potential was.
Wow I've never been this early
answer Mike
SAM BOWIE
DARKO MILLILIC
Hey, and for the streams, you should definitely take the footage from the stream of the NBA playoffs and upload it to your channel.
I wish Penny didn't get injured :( one of my favorites ever.
fuck face
My child hood was Penny and Hill. Sad case when injuries become your final call at a young age. They had the world of Basketball in their hands at one point
Feel so bad for Greg Oden...most people are ignorant and say he sucked, not even his fault. Along with a lot of other players.
Add D-Rose in next 10 Years.
I think Bias would been one of the greatest ever and Bulls vs Celtics rivarlry would been awesome in 90s
Broke my heart seeing Penny. He was my favorite. Still is.
Penny Hardaway & Grant Hill my 2 favourite nba players to watch in the mid 90s..especially those years when MJ retired first time.
They were absolutely mesmerizing talents..omg what could have been😢
How the hell is T mac not on this list? Granted he had years of success but people forget what a freak that dude was if not for bad knees the championship dynamic of the late 2000s might have been very different. i.e. a healthy Tmac on a good houston team would have been the only way Kobe didn't get his last two rings no one else but T-mac could put that type of pressure on a Kobe Bryant and company
+Jacob Perry Allen Iverson..had he had a slightly different team perhaps ):.
I think we saw the best of Tmac. He reached his potential, his prime was just shortend due to injuries. All the guys on this list never reacher their prime. I think Brandon Roy should be on here tho
Most people consider T Mac a legend
+MrShritz Brandon Roy.. weeps... Brandon Roy is essentially Dwayne Wade with bad knees, I don't think that's an exaggeration in any way. he would've been that great long-term
Terry Wallace I think so too. Thats actually a good comparison. Tho Roy was slower and had a better shot...damn...he could have been great man
Gordan hayward is underrated. Who agrees?
Me
Me
me
I think kemba walker is to
everyone who like the Jazz, which includes me
I felt and I still feel bad about Penny Hardaway's injury... He is still my favorite player
Used to watch Penny play while he was in high school and when he played for Memphis State. Awesome player. Definitely thought he would've been in the NBA longer. He's back here in Memphis. Thanks for covering him.
why isn't gilbert arenas on here
Tmac ? he was better than Kobe at one point
L
+J. Boyd W
Tmac was already a proven superstar with enough years to call him an all time great. But these guys were only about to become superstars or were a superstar for a year or two
+No Name idk about goat but definitely top 5
+Nets 4life But Tmac without injuries would if been the goat
I'm very late but What about Reggie Lewis who also played for the Boston Celtics too.
Your right, promising player that died during a workout.
damn len bias would have been a legend
the dipoligist he was murdered
MRIDDLE72 jay bias was murdered Len overdosed on coke
And he was my dads favorite player because he went to Maryland
No bullshit
@@MRIDDLE72 why
All these knee injuries, If i make the league Im a cashout on some Copperfit
W
We only know what copperfit is because of nbatv
+The Answer IKR
W
scares me sometimes
u forgot T-Mac he would've been better than Lebron had he not injured those knees.
Nah bro
L
+SneakerKing_2K He already is better than Lebum
+hd150 at scoring yes, everything else no
Russell Godbrook if kobe better than lebum and if tmac was better than kobe at one point then tmac better than LEBITCH
I just stumbled across your videos today & have been binge watching them ever since.I love your channel & your love & respect for the nba & the game of basketball.keep up the good work,u just gained a ne subscriber!!!
Penny was truly something special. Whatever that thing is that special talents have, Penny had it in buckets. You couldn't take your eyes off him when he had the ball. We were robbed!
Dude there is always some great stuff on this channel. Keep up the good work
+Mike McCoy Thanks my man!
Great List but ı also want to add
Drazen Petrovic
Antonio McDyess
Amare Stoudmire
T-Mac
Also Michael Ray Richardson
He's not done with the NBA yet, but Gordon Hayward.
T-Mac was nominated to the hall of fame ballot. He already is an all time great
hes averaging 22.5 ppg
Rose and Beasley soon
Quality videos everytime! You're one of my fav youtuber! Keep up the good work!
Damn... I've always felt so horrible for Penny. As an Orlando native, Penny has always been my favorite player ever and an Otown legend. Man doesn't get enough respect.
Great list.... I agree with this.
Penny Hardaway was (in his time....., and in my opinion) the second best basketball player in the world. I loved watching him play. Smh We really did miss out on alot of great basketball.
Been here since 10k nice to see you growing
+Paul Visconti Thanks dude!
+Mike Korzemba been here since 1.4k :).
+GamingFilmsHQ been here since 200 :)
Mike I will always watch your videos to the end because your channel is amazing
the late reggie lewis of the boston celtics could have been a legend too if not for his faulty heart. one of the two ill lucked celtics who never reached their true potential due to the grim reaper's early visit
Mike Korzemba, hands down best content on TH-cam.
+John Murray That means a lot man thanks!
+Mike Korzemba I have a good idea for a video if you are up for it. You could do a 'what if Kobe was traded instead of Shaq' and look at the championship differences that could have happened.
Not a better feeling like getting a notification from Mike
That's awesome thanks man!
You forgot Sam Bowie. If only he had waited for his knee to get better, he would've been such a beast.
Been here since 20k still my favorite channel
Sad to say it but drose will be on this list in a few years
Your channel just keeps growing
+Stephtastic! Bruh you are everywhere
go back and eat ur Ls
Maurice Stokes should be on this list. He was a 3 time All Star, 3 time All NBA, 1 time rebounds leader, a defensive force, a tough rebounder, a really good passer. He was just heading into the prime of his career...when an injury that at first seem mild resulted in him being completely paralyzed. It took many years of physical therapy to be able to barely talk and walk very slowly with help. He was poised to be regarded as an all time great of his time, one of the most promising players in the league, and then it was all just...gone. And while he has been honoured in the Hall of Fame and been recognized for what he was able to do in his short career of just three years, we will never know what could have been.
Well you are right. This was depressing. Penny man. I still remember that rebound to a behind the head pass. Also, my dad always raved on about Sampson. 7'4" center who can run the break all by himself.
this is a great video. thank you for making it
+Trevor Wysling Thanks man means a lot!
mos def
Dražen Petrović?
Nikola. 3435 he’s in the HOF
Nikola. 3435 and he was amazing in Europe
And his death was really tragic.
Evan Williams yeah and he could’ve been better he was just entering his prime
Nikola. 3435 : I bring him up all the time. I’m convinced that he was black in his previous life. He was athletic...quick, agile, strong, and had moves. Great player! Definitely could have equaled or surpassed Bird.
So happy I came up with these guys!
Good job my man. Very accurate summation of these guys' careers.
Penny Hardaway is already a legend to me! And Mugsy Bogues should be on the list
What if the Miami Heat drafted Westbrook over Beasly?
As a heat fan, this destroys me
same
+UgRugrat I would prefer Kevin love over Russell at the time mostly because we didn't need a guard at the time that's why we took Beasley but he ended up being a bust
+Albert Ji305 he is playing good with Houston..he is still young
+UgRugrat there wouldnt have been no lebron then
Man, I remember Penny and Grant Hill. Both very promising superstars that just went down hill from injuries. Then there is Amare Stoudemire who was such a powerful force on the floor with Nash. One year with bad injury and he never came back the same with the Knicks.
you r one of my fav chanels. could u do "7 more players" like this. there are plenty u know
Very insightful list, good job. Now if you'll excuse me I'm feeling a bit emotional.
+memeexclusive Yeah, injuries are sad. Thanks tho!
+imahelpfulperson YEAH. THAT IS A GOOD MENTION (DERRICK ROSE). BUT ALSO.....WHERE'S STANLEY ROBERTS ?!😒HE WAS THE DOMINANT BIG MAN FROM LSU WHO WAS SAID BY MANY TO BE BETTER THAN HIS TEAMMATE SHAQ!😃HE WAS JUST AS BIG, JUST AS POWERFUL & MORE VERSATILE. YEAH. I WISH HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT A TOP TEN CUZ STANLEY ROBERTS & DERRICK ROSE DEFINATELY BELONG ON THIS LIST. AND DON'T FORGET JUWAN HOWARD. & I KNOW IT CAN ONLY BE TEN IN A TOP TEN BUT U CAN PUT TRACY MCGRADY, CHICAGO BULLS JASON WILLIAMS, EVEN "WHITE CHOCOLATE" JASON WILLIAMS. HE HAD A SHORT CAREER CUZ OF HIS KNEES. AND MAYBE "BIG DOG" GLENN ROBINSON. IF HE WERE TO MAKE A TOP 20 THOSE R THE PLAYERS THAT I WOULD COME TO MIND THAT DIDN'T MAKE THIS LIST. I WOULD HAVE TO THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO DECIDE WHAT ORDER THEY SHOULD BE IN. OR IF IT'S JUST A TOP TEN THEN PUT 3 MORE OF THEM IN AND THEN MAKE THE REST HONORABLE MENTIONS.😀
he is to young he can still be the player he used to be he has shown sighs of it
You forgot Yao Ming he retired bc his injuring
He's in the Hall of Fame
+EBlase but he didn't play to his full potential
yao Ming was his feet not really his knees, but yes also lost due t injury
Look at the title "7 NBA Players Who Should Have Been All Time Greats" Yao Ming is a all time great without a doubt
+Last Nickel uh what
always watch to the end my dude
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
I really feel bad for Penny.
Me too
The one that kinda ticks me off is Derrick Coleman. If he gave a shit throughout his career he'd probably be viewed as the best PF of all time. He could score inside and out, rebound, defend, and was such an amazing passer. Unfortunately, by the time he started playing really hard in his second stint in Philly he was old, overweight, injured and slow.
Brandon Roy, T MAC Yao all come in mind Above Greg oden because they actually had success when healthy. Greg oden never was successful
because he never was healthy
Oden literally got hurt to start his rookie season. You could see the potential greatness tho. Could have been mutombo with more offense.
I was waiting for Penny on this list. And and my friends really thought he was the next Jordan. Until the injury.
i think if Tracy Mcgrady was healthy that he might he better than MJ
L
W
I agree
definitely
+Mega&Robert toontown!
health is such an important part of success.
nice video man...ur right about this list...
Arvydas Sabonis should be on this list for sure. Brandon Roy, Micheal Ray Richardson, Sam Bowie, Doug Collins just to name a few. A lot of Blazers sadly 😑
Stan Akkerman I’m a huge blazers fan and I don’t recall Sabonis getting injured
Evan Williams He got severely injured while playing for the USSR in the 80's and was consistently hurt during his time in Portland. He just played through it.
Sabonis did reach his full potential but never got to show it in the NBA. He was a beast Inn the 80s.
Yup! Definitely Sam Bowie
Mike is the best bro these videos are the best bro great job 👍🏾.
Thanks my man!
+Mike Korzemba Sam Bowie
+Mike Korzemba Sam Bowie
Brandon Roy was one of the most crafty offensive players I've ever seen before the injuries
Very good list, very very accurate... 👍🏽👍🏽
you're great at what ya do man
Sadly as a Bulls fan I have to admit, D.Rose will be on this list very soon ;(
Please still have faith in him
Surprised Brandon Roy wasn't on this list.
how is Grant Hill more successful than Bill Walton?
that's what I was thinking
Mohammed Kaki Two words: Inside. Stuff.
Mohammed Kaki he isn't
Bill Walton has a surprisingly short career for a Hall of Fame inductee, so it's a legitimate argument that Grant Hill had a more successful career. Walton finished his career playing only 468 career games, 6,215 career points, 4,923 rebounds, and two All-Star selections. Granted, for the period discussed in the video, Walton was more successful than HIll ever was, but those 1.75 seasons basically is the entirety of Walton's Hall of Fame NBA credentials. Hill was a seven-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection. So, it's not so cut and dry that Walton was more successful. He had the higher peak, but far less longevity, and unbelievably had worse luck with health than Grant Hill who almost died on the operating table.
mrmacross appreciate the insite buddy
Hey you got any stories on Jordan and Dennis Rodman or Rodman in general ?
I feel really sorry for Oden. His career wasn't even triggered, he might be a great center
Brandon Roy should be here
Love the halo music in the background
Great video. Drugs and injuries are 2 of the worst career killers.
David Thompson and Ralph Sampson are hall of famers by the way
So is grant
6:15 Which playoff series did Penny out-duel MJ? The latter's ppg and fg% were both higher in '95 and '96.
Yeah, I don't remember Penny doing that either.
Penny just became coach of his old college basketball team a year and a half ago. He loves his hometown.
I really agree with the twitch idea. I think a lot of people would really like that.
T Mac????
He did a whole video on how T-Mac should have been an all-time great if not for injuries.
I guess he should've put a note on that . . anyways he makes great videos so that may make-up for this "flaw"
flibbidyx2 tmac was good and a big what if, but was not in the league as of anfernee hardaway.
Michael Ray Richards. Came in the same year as Bird and Magic. Led the league in steals and assists as a rookie. Isiah said he was the only dude he feared on the court. Drugs ruined his career
Also tried to kill his coach
+DerpyCheesE Can we blame the drugs for that? Survey says...
survey says potato salad
penny was awesome when I was in 7th grade. I had his all back nikes around that time
Brandon Roy should definitely be on the list. He won Rookie of the Year, went to a couple of All-Star games, but he struggled with injuries resulting his decision to retire.
Yeah Roy was great.
Yau Ming should have been here
Yao*
Isn't he in the hall of fame
That's pretty great
+CRAZYTURKEY Yao is gooing to the hall of fame, he could have been better, but he still is an alltime great.
+Vladimir Putin No, he's all-time overrated cause there are 2 billion people in China.
I lowkey feel bad for Greg oden
Oden should’ve been like kg but with more of inside game
nice vid Mike
Lol all of the people dead staring Greg Oden's legs XD
