I only saw 1 player donminate Spencer Hawood. and that was Howard Porter of Villanova in 1968 when both were Sophmores in college. The game was at the Palestra in Philadelphia and Villanova beat Detroit pretty bad and Porter had 28 pts and 15 rebounds to Haywoods 15 points and i think 15 or 16 boards.Haywood ahould be in the HOF
@@teofemo7000 Porter or Haywood ? Porter was a great forward / center in college AT Villanova - And Haywood was just as great . Superstars they were and Wicks and Rowe at UCLA were not as good. Marvin Barnes was a Star at Providence with Ernie D. Barnes was Great too. I feel just a noth below Howard Porter and Haywood
@@teofemo7000 Yes Marvin Barnes was a little nuts. But Dave Gavitt ( HIs College coach , must of had a good relationship with him ) he wasn't as nuts in college
Great guy I koew Spencer personally he would often stop by my place of retail business after he had returned to Michigan to rehab himself and go into talks about his business ,real estate and community ventures in Michgan
I love Spencer Haywood, one of the all time great Sonics! 30 ppg 19rpg in 1969. The hold up is the NBA doesnt like that he sued them and that he got in trouble with drugs later on. On the court stuff only, he should be in, he is one of the most under rated players ever
If only the old ABA was around today. Playas could play there instead of goin all the way overseas because of the lockout. Of course it'll have its own union separate from the NBA's.
He was awesome but if he had of spent 4yrs at Duke or NC or any major college and learned team ball he would have lead NBA teams to championships. Not enough respect is given to playing at the college level. at 4:24 the true story comes out. In the NBA I saw Rick Barry and others wear him and the Sonics out playing team ball. He was exciting to though;No doubt
great player
Best power forward in my book!
Connie Hawkins
Nope, he never reached his full potential, because of personal issues.
legend
Spencer Haywood is a Great player its a shame no one mentions his name today he needs to be in the Hall of fame!!! ASAP
He made it.
And I'm tremendously happy to see that Haywood did turn his life around.
He's smart enough to help others and very few people on this planet do that.
Smart definitely isnt the way u should describe haywood😂

@@stever1791 Haywood and Barnes. Marvin had a short run at his best. They say he was amazing though crazy.

Thank you for these videos.

Great video, thanks. As a Sonic fan, it's eery to see the parallels to Shawn Kemp
Geez. That second comment by Gus Johnson was describing Bob McAdoo
Spencer has all the stats to be a HALL OF FAMER whats the hold up?
Only for about the first 4 yrs of his career. Afterward, decent to pretty good player. HOF talent, early, but .... overall lacking.
@@Amick44 in his prime he was easily top 5 power forward all time
If only the old ABA was around today. Playas could play there instead of goin all the way overseas because of the lockout. Of course it'll have its own union separate from the NBA's.
If he didn't get addicted to coke in New York he would have been an all-time great...still a terrific player during his Sonics days
OK i understand why Iman divorced him at the time. That blue magic f'd a lot of people up.
i know his brother he a real nice dude
He divorced her??? Well she did say she didn't want to be black so maybe that had something to do with it.
venezia non dimentica
my dad thought he was a great player, didn't hate him or anything. no need to be mad sonny
