It's crazy how things are now compared to how they were done back then.Chauncey was only 31 when he got traded when he was still a capable scorer,effective leader n top 10 point guard for a few more years.Idk how detroit thought Chauncey was done so soon when it wouldn't be a question to keep him at age 31 by today's standard of basketball.This why I tell ppl they can't use today's standard to judge older basketball moves n situations
@@TTJJCC but they kept rip n tayshaun for like 3-4 more years wasting away.Detroit seriously had no solid plans in place that's why they've been struggling nonstop since that era
Stuckey is one of those love him or hate him guys. As a Pistons fan, we had no choice and he played like a solid role player. Sometimes that’s all your team needs. Our defense was still the best, and our bench (if continually built the right way) could help give us the edge. I’m a firm believe that Dumars was better at trading for talent than he was at drafting and building it up. He stuck gold with Billups, Sheed, Rip, and Wallace, but neglected the team after that brilliance.
Hey do you have a video on Scottie Thurman from Arkansas, it's a shame he never had an NBA career as good as he was. Great shooter who can put the ball on the floor .
This guys made it to the League. That's a major accomplishment! And a blessing for sure. He is a "has been", not a "never has been." He can hang his hat on that.
Die hard pistons fan. Born and raised in Detroit. I remember all of this. Watched it unfold. The keys were given to stuckey waaay too soon. The franchise still hasn’t been the same since trading Chauncey. It started with Ben Wallace going to the bulls but trading Chauncey was hit to the stomach. Stuckey was a solid NBA player but there was no way he could’ve filled Chauncey’s shoes.
I think Dumars didn’t realize that when he got Rip, Billups, Sheed, Wallace, and Tayshaun, that he stuck gold due to all of them being specialist at something. They already crafted and molded talents separately, but when put together, created a winning team. It’s why Tayshaun fit so well. His scouting and drafting was some of the bottom 3 worst in that era, so it doesn’t surprise me that he couldn’t replicate that success through the draft.
@@Ohh_Really yes sir!! I’m still a die hard fan. All the way back to the Grant hill days before the teal lol. I’ll never forget when stuckey showed some signs in the ‘08 ECF against Boston, i had a feeling at that moment that Chauncey’s days were numbered. Fast forward to the ‘08-‘09 season, i was at that last game before he got traded. Couldn’t believe it. We haven’t recovered yet.
Stuckey mightve won 6th man of the year honestly had they kept them intact. Btw, did Ben wallace just straight up leave for money? I always thought it was weird when he went to the bulls.
@@sosmooth13 he didn’t realize it at all. I can kind of understand why he left Ben walk because they were all aging but they were still getting to the ECF. You let Ben walk and the WHOLE identity of the team changed. They were a defensive team but once they added flip Saunders(R.I.P.), they focused on offense more and Ben didn’t like that. Once Ben walked after the ‘05-‘06 season, i knew it was over. Joe could’ve paid Ben though even though he was aging.
Salute to Rodney Stuckey he had some solid years in the league but never gave me superstar pg Vibes and lacked a deep shot and play making skills but he could score attacking the rim
Chauncey Billups was super under appreciated. A lot like Jason Kidd, just a great all around super smart pg that knew how to win with whatever was around him.
Could u do a video on Stromile Swift? Dude was the 2nd pick in the draft after being the Co-SEC Player of the Year, had huge potential, but I swear only thing he did was throw down crazy dunks.
There was this article that came out that Stuckey was a guy that the Lakers might be interested in before the draft and I think they had the pick right after Detroit.
@@zoesh2441 Iverson's last all star appearance was the number 1 Clout chase of All Star balloting . Ivo had lost about 2steps during his Pistons run that never returned. He still a Top Legend tho
@@Ohh_Really he was dealing with injuries. Like I said he averaged 27 n 8 the year before while sharing the load meaning he was still a 30+ppg player. Nobody falls off that hard and fast in 1 offseason
He came form eastern Washington. Back when a mid major was as good as a D3… that’s a growth spurt gang I ain’t gone lie to you. If the NBA truly thought he was generational they would have taken him early like Curry 🤷🏾♂️
Tell me what's easier passing or shooting? What's easier to learn passing or shooting Passing bruh Stuckey was a big point guard that didn't have a teacher to show him the game correctly plus everyone act like Detroit was running and gunning they was playing half court basketball forcing Stuckey to play at his weakness instead of running the floor to let the kid actually play his game
I may be wrong,but when are we gonna see the streetball legend Rafer "Skip 2 my lou" on here? Dude put streetball on a different level to where it was more important to be a streetball player rather than an nba player
People really need to stop comparing guys to Wade man…NOBODY turns the corners and splits the defense like him or has the same prolific shot-blocking ability, to the point it’s disrespectful who I see compared to him. Donovan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards for example…great players but NOT Wade! Especially not Rodney Stuckey. All not in the slightest💯
3:32 Bruhhh his name is pronounced “I-YO,” not “AYO.” I understand it’s spelled like that but that you pronounced his name wrong. Think of Ayo Dosunmu from the Chicago Bulls. I know this because that’s also my name first name. It’s a Nigerian/Yoruba name. I’m half Nigerian. 👌🏾👍🏾
I think Stuckey was more so them trying to force him to be a point, when he would've been a more successful two guard. Similar to the Kings making Tyreke a two guard, when he was clearly a better PG.
Only seeing him in the league I never understood the hype. He seemed to have average handle and no jumper. Dumars was AWFUL at drafting and signing free agents after that '04 season.
Will the legend Chauncey Billups ever make the HOF?
No
Yes
T Mac Grant Hill Tim Hardaway and Yao is in!!!
Absolutely he deserve it
For sure
Dude, you gotta do one on Rodney Hood. 6'9 played the 2,3,4, and never lived up to potential pre injury but had the size and athleticism.
Not the 4
He did. Go look it up on basketball reference . He played a full season and split time at the 3/4 on others.
I remember him for teaching the chick from Paramore how to crip walk.
Finally we get a video about 50 Cent.
Got to see Stuckey play in person with Detroit. Always a solid player. Just didn't have a true position to be more than a role player.
He is a tweener but nevertheless a talented player.
What do you mean by that
Garbage
@@shandoncooper27 He needed to be a better ball handler to be a great point guard and a better shooter to be a 2

I don't think Joe thought that Billups was done, but moreso the roster had maxed out and they had to do something different.

@@mxhughes True. Signing Ben Gordon while keeping Rip made ni sense at all.
I never thought I'd see someone i actually have met on here. Used to see him all the time working out at the L.A. Fitness in Covington.
Did he hoop when he was there?
Me too
He saw my HS t shirt & recognized it, he graduated from the same high school Kentwood . This was during 2012 NBA lockdown season cool guy 🙏
He was one of my favorites growing up. Dude put in work for Kentwood
He was a MONSTER at East Washington!!!! He definitely put up numbers
He was definitely a real one. Cold as hell even he played in Kent too

Salute to Rodney Stuckey he had some solid years in the league but never gave me superstar pg Vibes and lacked a deep shot and play making skills but he could score attacking the rim
I tell any young hooper who is a slasher.
Become a midrange monster
Become a tenacious defender
Play off ball
Hustle and grab rebounds and loose balls
Basically tell them all to watch Dwyane Wade🔥
@@bobbysmoove4796 bingo 💎💎💎💎
Your next Vid should Be Monte Ellis it was rumored he had attitude problems but I always wondered about him.
I got buckets with Stuckey on 2k. No cap now that I’m thinking about he might be in my top 15. Them pistons teams was insane
While watching this episode I saw someone u could do, Charlie Villanueva. What happened 2 that guy?
Chauncey Billups was super under appreciated. A lot like Jason Kidd, just a great all around super smart pg that knew how to win with whatever was around him.
That clip of coach holding Rodney I slightly remember Rodney suffering from a seizure that game. He was a big threat to me against the Celtics in 08.
Oh ok, that's what it was. I couldn't quite remember.
I remember Rodney Stuckey, he was a monster on the court
😂😂😂
Tyler Hansbrough was the best freshman in college in 2005, but Stuckey was the most explosive
his basketball career didnt pan out as planned but at least his rap career as 50 cent was ok
Lol
Can you find any info on Small Forward Mickael Pietrus
Only played his rookie year, but Chris Porter had some crazy setbacks…
Wait a minute, is it too soon for Kevin Porter Jr?
He actually did one for KPJ a couple years back but another one definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea now…
Could u do a video on Stromile Swift? Dude was the 2nd pick in the draft after being the Co-SEC Player of the Year, had huge potential, but I swear only thing he did was throw down crazy dunks.
I thought I remember seeing an SG video for him.
Not sure if you did these but if not could you do Calbert Chaney and Eric Bledsoe? :)
"All in all in hindsight, Stuckey was going to be an AVERAGE NBA player"
Average;
A simple but yet profound word...
Damn.
How about doing Charlie Villanueva next or Xavier Henry. Thank you Sir
That trade for Allen Iverson really ended up being a disaster. Too many guys fighting to be the #1 option.
Tremendous Shoe History...Stuckey R🌹SE...
There was this article that came out that Stuckey was a guy that the Lakers might be interested in before the draft and I think they had the pick right after Detroit.
A beast. With a jumper and crazy handle. The crossover on kobe was nasty!
Do Andre McGee and the Louisville scandal
This one was 100% accurate! Great job! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
it would be nice to hear story of Lonnie Harrell...Went to Georgetown and played with and 1
prime objective
Rudy Gay, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Gerald Green, and my guy Rod Stuckey. I used to tear 2K up with them guys.
I like the concept of this series
Do one on Lee Mayberry
I rock with this channel but Stuckey was a very solid player and had a very respectable career.
Should’ve been better that’s the point
I was thinking the same like he was pretty good
I can’t believe this is the nigga I saw Iverson’s career hit a downwards spiral for smfh
Don't forget Will Bynum too. Ivo was DoneZees. Even Bynum ballin harder than Motor City Ivo
@@Ohh_Really u want me to believe Ivo was done after comin off a season where he averaged 27 n 8 while playing along side a ball dominant Melo??

Good one. Rodney was definitely a talent
Yeah he had crazy game
I definitely remember he was a quality baller. The bench incident when he wasn't feeling his best is what he seems more known for these days.
What happened to the Michael Redd video I don’t see it anymore
He came form eastern Washington. Back when a mid major was as good as a D3… that’s a growth spurt gang I ain’t gone lie to you. If the NBA truly thought he was generational they would have taken him early like Curry 🤷🏾♂️
As a pistons fan, never was sold on stuckey at all..
Can we do a stunted growth on Kevin Porter Jr?
He was more Dion Waiters than D. Wade imo. He also seemed like he’d be a better 2 than 1, if developed correctly.
Tell me what's easier passing or shooting? What's easier to learn passing or shooting Passing bruh Stuckey was a big point guard that didn't have a teacher to show him the game correctly plus everyone act like Detroit was running and gunning they was playing half court basketball forcing Stuckey to play at his weakness instead of running the floor to let the kid actually play his game
can We get a derrick coleman video and a drazen petrovic video
Was that AI getting dropped in the at 0:10
I just remember Stuckey trying to drive in and losing the ball constantly
STUNTED GROWTH ON ALBERT WHITE (95’ 1st Team Parade All-American) from Inkster(near Detroit)
Wow. That's a name I have heard since...1995 probably.
I may be wrong,but when are we gonna see the streetball legend Rafer "Skip 2 my lou" on here? Dude put streetball on a different level to where it was more important to be a streetball player rather than an nba player
You should do Arlendo Tucker
DEFINITELY
Alando Tucker btw
Shit it’s been a while I heard that name.
I didn’t know he was 6’5 I thought he was 6’2
Yeah he was a big point guard
Bro wth I was just thinking of Rodney Stuckey the other day randomly he was like Bledsoe before Bledsoe
Derrick Favors or Donnell Harvey if you havent alreay
Rodney suckey is a real blast from the past for me
Pretty sure AI was the replacement for Billups. And the league changed and the Pistons got old. RS is a EWU legend
Nah, it was this guy
AI was a stop gap to help this guy out
Mannnnnnn where is the Reece Gaines story tho?👀 lol
Who is that
@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 Research brotha
ORL legend
Do one on John Wallace from Syracuse.
LOVE RODNEY STUCKEY!!
This was my guy man
Do one on Etan Thomas
Eddie Robinson
Stucky . Solid as they come
Hes a awesome guy off the court my brother coached him at Eastern Washington Go Eagles
He was a huge guard back when most PGs were 5’10-6-2. It’s sad those Detroit teams were kinda mid
i had a lot of hope for
him.. i rly thought he was d wade esque 😂😂😂😂😂
Stuckey was really good attacking the basket if he had developed a jump shot he could have been a poor mans d wade
YESSSIIIRRR
Should do Will Bynum
They ain’t let him grow before putting expectations on him

It’s a Nigerian/Yoruba name. I’m half Nigerian. 👌🏾👍🏾
He got that pension. Yay😊😊😊
Still waiting for that Sheryl Miller video 🎉
You might as well add Alvin Williams
Yall better respect my city basketball lineage,Seattle stand up...
Video on Josh Childress?
206 Seattle 👍🏽

Seems like he’s been in the league forever.
@@lukesmith9692 He was top pick that was supposed to be a star in the league.

Tru dat!
Duke legend Sheldan Williams
AI trade destroyed the Pistons. Iverson cared less to here and it killed the whole team. I went to several games that season and witnessed the change

He was solid, I think this was a stretch
Eastern Washington!

Damn I didn't know 50 Cent could hoop....
Hey jc it was like replacing coke with club soda.
