For me, this was Paul Pierce on the Nets. I had grown up in New Jersey and started casually following basketball around 2010 ish. Pierce was always my favorite player because I decided to be a LeBron hater early on and Pierce's Celtics always seemed to get the best of him at that time. Paul Pierce being traded to the Nets is what made me a hardcore Nets fan and I think fondly of that season despite it being looked at by most as a disappointment.
James Harden was my favorite player starting out since I hated the warriors and he was amazing for houston. Seeing him come to my nets was great. I imagine with how little success the big 3 had these are somewhat comparable experiences lol
Honestly respect for coming out and just saying "I decided to be a Lebron hater early on". Everyone can have their own biases but I hate it when people throw unreasonable shade on a player while saying "its just facts bro, I'm not hating", if you have a personal bias acknowledge it and own it instead of passing it off like its objective fact that everyone should agree on.
Tbh I feel like I needed to hear the "there's so much more to this game than winning championships" statement. I feel like nowadays as an adult, I spend more time arguing about the sport rather than enjoying the small moments that made me fall in love with it growing up and enjoying thr moments that will make beautiful memories.
dude this means a lot and it speaks to why a lot of people value your thoughts and feelings on stuff. most of my favourite basketball memories are of watching mid-tier teams that aren't going to win a championship that season, playing for cities i will never visit, but having a good time doing it. half of the games i've enjoyed watching the most happened before i was even born and i watched them in archives. too much of nba youtube is filled with people either crunching numbers to the point of losing the wider picture, or coming from an angle of raw over/unders and nothing else. mechanical-feeling content churned out by and for gambling mind palace statisticians sometimes feels like it's an overbearing weight of youtube content; you get barraged with more than enough of it just watching games on tv. coming to sport (or anything in life) from such a zero-sum angle feels like it sucks the joy and humanity out of the whole experience; reduces all the beauty and meaning of this sport to mere horseracing. your whole kind of attitude, having a sense of soul and actually feeling joy in a game - that's the reason i enjoy watching your stuff and seeing the angle you come to things from.
I’m a huge NYK fan and I’ll NEVER EVER forget Linsanity. Probably my fondest memory of being a Knicks fan since growing up in the 90s. I know it was just a flash-in-the-pan kinda deal but I can’t forget how damn cool it was to see people actually care about the Knicks for a bit, then the next year, Melo, JR and co tore the league up (kinda). Call it sour grapes, but they most definitely, undeniably got cheated out of the playoffs against Indy that year.
We all have fond memories of something. Different sport, but I’ll always remember the 2022 Mariners because they made the first playoff appearance since I was very little. And I’ll never forget the 2020-21 NBA season because I read a lot of NBA history out of curiosity, and watched a lot of videos (the video on whether Nash deserved his MVP’s is where I discovered you). And that made me appreciate just how unprecedented the postseason we saw in 2021 really was. One thing I’d have to disagree with you on though: I wouldn’t disown everything you made before 2020. While the editing may not have been the same pre-Rudy, I would argue that the Goatmentary was an excellent series, your video on Karl Malone’s personal life was well executed, and say what you want about Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade, but the video where you go after Pierce as an analyst was good in my opinion, and the one where you go after Bayless, Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright from 2018 or so is one of my favorites I’ve seen from your channel. I wouldn’t disown your older videos if I were you, but to each their own. Also, those videos introduced me to a lot of good Lakey Inspired tracks.
This was a W video, especially since a lot of NBA fan communities are super toxic nowadays. Better to enjoy things like this than just shit on everything all the time
15-16 was the first season I closely followed the NBA in a “more than a casual” sense and as a Bulls fan yeah, same thing - that’s Dwyane fucking Wade in a Bulls jersey, what’s not to love 😂 I miss the naivety of the younger me
As a heat fan I loved Shaq’s time in Miami. Obviously we did win but just beyond that he’s my favorite player of all time and seeing him in a heat jersey just brings me joy🔥
Probably my favourite Rusty video! Same thing with me as a raps fan, everyone hated the Jakob poeltl trade because it costed us a frp but I really enjoyed seeing Jak on the team. I love his old school game! We all just gotta enjoy the sport!
* Game winning steal and dunk vs the Pacers * Two game winning steals vs the Kings * The OKC game where both Jimmy and Wade went off (Jimmy had a triple double Wade had his 10th rebound stolen by Felicio) * IIRC the Bulls that season were undefeated in national televised games. * Wade getting a poster on Alex Len to seal the game against the Suns. * Wade faking out two Sixers defenders before hitting the midrange shot. * The first two games of the playoffs. There were plenty of enjoyable moments in that series.
My favorite Dwyane Wade play is the one where he blocked Amare Stoudemire and shot a full court shot before the buzzer sounds. That was in 2005 season... the very first season I started watching NBA. That was also a little bit of a bigger deal for me at that time, because that game was the battle of the no. 1 seeds from East and West. Yeah I can't forget that.
I remember going to the home opener that season against the Celtics. We won 101-95 if I remember correctly. Still the most fun bulls game I’ve personally been to (watched since I was old enough when rose was drafted but was able to go for the first time after he got hurt)
When you say you enjoyed seeing him in the Bulls jersey it really reminds me of the quote from Jerry Seinfeld, "You're rooting for clothes, when you get right down to it. We're screaming about laundry." But I can see why you would enjoy seeing such a iconic player of his generation in that jersey even if it didn't lead to great success. But at the same time we would all love to see any legendary or all star player in our teams laundry as the quote says, and in this case it came true for you so you enjoyed it. I can't say I personally ever look back fondly on times someone who was on the down swing of their career and were already probably a HOFer went to a team I liked and never had much of an impact. I am honestly more of a football fan and an example of this is Jerry Rice going to my team the Seahawks to end his career. Most people don't even remember he played for Seattle and they were a pretty good team then even, they made the playoffs and it was only a year before they got to their first Superbowl. And I surely don't look back on it fondly or that he in any way should be associated with Seattle when his legacy in San Francisco and Oakland is talked about. But somehow you have created fond memories out of a similar situation and if you want to remember it like that then that is cool for you. But I don't think anyone think of Wade and his legacy outside of anything that happened in a Heat jersey as all the rest was just the wind down to a career that was already a lock for the HOF. Maybe you could look at Wade's time in Chicago as a retirement tour in a way too coming home for one last chance at hometown glory before hanging them up. And also you should definitely not look at yourself so negatively! In the end its better to find the good or enjoyment in something that many people can't that isn't harming anyone and that is exactly what you did with this.
My NBA fandom started with single players and not teams, so I was a Rockets fan because of Hakeem, and I followed the Bulls because of Jordan. I supported and followed the Knicks because they're my home team, but I settled on the Nets in like 97-98 because they were also local, had a young team that had interesting players like Kerry Kittles, Marbury and KVH... so I;ve stuck with them the last 16 years. The closest I got to your Wade moment was getting Vince Carter.
The Three Alphas were low-key fun, got off to a good start too. Won the first three games, Wade, Rondo, and Butler were hitting their threes, the defense was great, even Michael Carter-Williams looked like a key rotation player. MCW went down in game 6, and the wheels came off for a while. Coincidence? Yeah, probably, especially since he couldn't do anything right once he came back. But they were fun in the weirdest way. Don't talk to me about the one mid-season, lose-lose trade they did though
I think this era would have gone over better with fans if GarPax didn't literally announce the team was going to get younger right before going out and signing Wade and Rondo.
D wade on the bulls was not the same for AI on the grizz as a grizzlies fan cuz a hometown hero playing for yo team is a great sight to see cuz it's so rare to see
As a Heat fan, it GUTTED me when the Chicago report came out… but that team was sneaky fun, and they were 100% beating the Celtics before Rondo went down. Just wish he didn’t waste his time in Cleveland. That shit was gross.
I am 1000000% with you. I REALLY think the Bulls could have upset Boston that year. Im shocked you don’t like Rondo, but he was damn near the best player on the court those first two games and I see no reason that wouldn’t have continued to he the case throughout that series. Plus that was the birth of the Jimmy/Wade relationship that led to him being in Miami now. I loved that team. Also, maybe I’m the only one, but I was HUGE Carlos Boozer fan in Chicago 😂😂
Rajon Rondo is not overrated by any means. He isn't even underrated. He's just forgotten lol. To be fair, we never really got a fair power level reading on him because really the Chicago playoff series vs the IT Celtics was supposed to be the chance for Rajon to make a case for being a top 10-top 5 pure PG at the time but he got injured. Its like he was either on teams where there were too many namebrand all stars or just not enough talent around him on the non-bull, non-celtic, non-lakers teams he was a part of
Like the Chicago power level with an old D Wade was probably the best balancing act and best chance for rondo to make the case bolstered by the fact that he would be trying for the 8th seed to the finals but again he got injured. Remember they were up against the IT celtics. 2-1. I would have loved to see it go to 7. It would have. Would IT have made it out the top without an injured rondo...perhaps but it would come down to pacing, coaching, and not terrible shot selection. IT was clutch. So I'm gonna give it to them. Plus, doc isn't coaching so it should be even lol...unless like IT aggravates his hip in game 7 colliding into someone which could very conceivably happen. Its game 7. Its high energy.
Glad u gave melo his props, also rusty i get that u often employ depreciating humour, but please don't. Words have weight and you are no failure, you seem to have a great relationship with your dad, a passion for basketball that you're able to make decent money off of by talking about your fave sport. Appreciate the little things bro, much love❤🤞🏽
Rusty I've watched you since 2019. You're no loser bro. Your content is great, and your political views are spot on. You're a good dude man and you've got hundreds of thousands of followers. Nobody who has your level of following and good morals can be a loser
I feel most Bulls fans are overly cynical because of the 90's Bulls and the expectations that squad put on this franchise. If any Bulls fans are reading this its ok to appreciate a squad without trying to compare it to the god squads of the 90's.
When a franchise has a dynasty team in any sport, fans of that team inevitably compare everything to that team, and oftentimes, things can get overlooked.
I'm one of those Bulls fans that was not very fond of D-wade on the bulls in 2017. IMO, the time for him to come here was the 2010 offseason, but we all know what happened instead...
I was also a loser in high school and adult life. lol Not really. But seriously, for me, I enjoyed seeing Steve Nash in a Lakers jersey, playing with Kobe. Unfortunately that combo didn't result in anything. Nash hurt his back or something.
It’s even worse when they’ll say like good video keep it up. Like bro you didn’t even watch the whole video. They are even more sad than the first comments lol
It’s because when you click on the video that early the other comments don’t pop up right away so to them they are first because the comment section is employ on their screen. That being said tho it’s cringy asf and I just think it’s weird to do it but I guess it helps rusty in the algorithm so more power to em Lmao
Wade was not coming to Chicago in 2010 . Pat Riely made him and Bosch goto meetings all over the east to get contenders with cap space to try and offer huge contracts to possible supporting cast players as incentive to join a team. It's how the Knicks ended up with Stoudemire the hawks ended up with joe Johnson and the bulls traded kirk Heinrich and signed carlos boozer to a massive payday and immediately regretted it. LeBron Bosch and Wade knew they would play together long before the decision. Riely had the idea to try and screw the competition.
Taking about fun vs winning. Tracy McGrady is my favorite player and he didn’t win anything. But man watching in during when he was healthy was something else.
Why should we forget dwyane wades bulls season, im sure hell always remember playing for his hometown team and they had a really good season Popular on unpopular take jimmy was amzing, wade had great moments but rondo was the ultimate weapon for that team, im saying of he didnt tear his acl or mcl whatever it was they would have knocked off the celtics that 1st round It might not have seemed so serious to casual fans, but that was the season IT3 finished 3rd or 4th in mvp voting boston was the 1st or 2nd seed and IT3 sister passed away the day game 1 started i think
Grizzlies picking Mike Conley over Allen Iverson is still the craziest thing that never gets talked about. Conley went on to make 2 all stars over the course of like 15 years.. I'm still taking A.I. over him in 95% of situations.
If you think Rondo is overrated you must also think Butler is overrated. They are both guys who coast during the regular season and pick it up in the playoffs.
Team A Pg. Steph curry Sg. Michael Jordan Sf. LeBron James Pf. Tim Duncan C. Shaquille O’Neal Team B Pg. Damian Lillard Sg. Kobe Bryant Sf. Scottie Pippen Pf. Kevin Garnett C. David Robertson Team c Pg. Magic Johnson Sg. Tracy McGrady Sf. Dominique Wilkins Pf. Charles Barkley C. Will chamberlain Team D Pg. Steve Nash Sg . Reggie Miller Sf. Larry Bird Pf. Dirk Nowitzki C. Hakeem Olajuwon Team E Pg. Isaiah Thomas Sg. Dwyane Wade Sf. Kevin Durant Pf. Dennis Rodman C. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
i mean who knows what woulda happened if rondo doesn’t get injured🤷🏽♂️up 2-0 going back to chicago. they also had a chance to get revenge on the cavs for that BS game 5 win when david blatt shoulda got a tech. (shoutout to bron hitting the corner three tho)
bit ironic you went on about how bulls fan were over d wade so quickly and then you go on to admit if you were more mature you’d be the same way… bulls fans aren’t mature is the thing lol. they had no reason to have any neg feeling of d wade.
I like dwayne wade as a player but I lost respect for him as a person when he refers to lebron as his brother after he left him out to dry when lebron left the heat
Dude you aren't a loser, have watched your videos for many years thanks for the consistent content 👍
U are not a loser , u are a great human being that delivery us great contents and entertainments

As Heat fan we missed the playoffs so of course I'm gonna root for the Bulls. The Rondo injury killed you guys.
I’m a huge NYK fan and I’ll NEVER EVER forget Linsanity. Probably my fondest memory of being a Knicks fan since growing up in the 90s.

Okay you've convinced me... I'm gonna watch every damn video pre 2020 😂😂 love your content man
Loved that team and think you have been doing a great job with these videos. Made me reminisce a lot.
We all have fond memories of something.
Different sport, but I’ll always remember the 2022 Mariners because they made the first playoff appearance since I was very little.

The one about Jason Whitlock was funny too
@@KoolerThanKenThat one’s pretty good too. Didn’t mention that one because I thought he’d hired Rudy by then

All jokes aside though you and Alex are the only basketball TH-camrs that have been able to hold my attention for longer than ten minutes
Rusty you all the NBA content I got rn😅💯

Don’t call yourself a loser Rusty, even if you’re joking. You deliver great basketball commentary that brings people joy, that’s not a what a loser is
Bro we gotta talk about that Rondo comment, 2nd most overrated player of all time is very insane
True , crazy take 🥴
The Three Alphas were low-key fun, got off to a good start too. Won the first three games, Wade, Rondo, and Butler were hitting their threes, the defense was great, even Michael Carter-Williams looked like a key rotation player.

Love these new thumbnails 🔥🔥🔥
I actually enjoyed that year but can we talk about when pau was there like we almost made it in the finals in 2015
I think this era would have gone over better with fans if GarPax didn't literally announce the team was going to get younger right before going out and signing Wade and Rondo.
Not a Chicago fan but everyone can relate to the feeling. great video.
D wade on the bulls was not the same for AI on the grizz as a grizzlies fan cuz a hometown hero playing for yo team is a great sight to see cuz it's so rare to see
As a Heat fan, it GUTTED me when the Chicago report came out… but that team was sneaky fun, and they were 100% beating the Celtics before Rondo went down.
Just wish he didn’t waste his time in Cleveland. That shit was gross.
My first year as a bulls fan, fun ass underdog team
D-wade in a bulls jersey seems like a fever dream but that’s just the heat fan in me talking
I am 1000000% with you. I REALLY think the Bulls could have upset Boston that year. Im shocked you don’t like Rondo, but he was damn near the best player on the court those first two games and I see no reason that wouldn’t have continued to he the case throughout that series.
Plus that was the birth of the Jimmy/Wade relationship that led to him being in Miami now. I loved that team.
Also, maybe I’m the only one, but I was HUGE Carlos Boozer fan in Chicago 😂😂
I really liked that Bulls team, they were bouta upset the Celtics in round 1 but Rondo got hurt

“There is no war is Ba Sing Se”. Wade was a one team guy. He only ever played for the Heat lol.
I was almost 40 when this happened and I liked this too.
I was also a loser in high school and adult life. lol Not really. But seriously, for me, I enjoyed seeing Steve Nash in a Lakers jersey, playing with Kobe. Unfortunately that combo didn't result in anything. Nash hurt his back or something.
Wade only came to Chicago because Miami didn't give him that loyalty contract; could've had that 'Played for 1 Team' on his resume.
That thumbnail is nasty work 😭 kill that photo with 🔥
Bro the whole thing with people typing first is so dumb lol like not all of y’all are first
It’s even worse when they’ll say like good video keep it up. Like bro you didn’t even watch the whole video. They are even more sad than the first comments lol
First
It's kind of crazy that people STILL do that in 2023. That's literally been around since TH-cam's inception
First
It’s because when you click on the video that early the other comments don’t pop up right away so to them they are first because the comment section is employ on their screen. That being said tho it’s cringy asf and I just think it’s weird to do it but I guess it helps rusty in the algorithm so more power to em Lmao
ur not a loser your a legend don't get it twisted ;)
Wade was not coming to Chicago in 2010 . Pat Riely made him and Bosch goto meetings all over the east to get contenders with cap space to try and offer huge contracts to possible supporting cast players as incentive to join a team. It's how the Knicks ended up with Stoudemire the hawks ended up with joe Johnson and the bulls traded kirk Heinrich and signed carlos boozer to a massive payday and immediately regretted it. LeBron Bosch and Wade knew they would play together long before the decision. Riely had the idea to try and screw the competition.
Why the pessimistic attitude???
You are not a loser, you have a lot of people who appreciate your channels and opinions.
Greetings from Greece!
I also really enjoyed James Harden and Westbrook on the rockets
Make a video on your film/video game channel pls I love those videos
I did not forget the *TNT* Bulls that year; The Celts were getting cooked and would _likely_ not withstand the Bulls had injuries _not_ occurred.
I very much agree that it’s whack by how ppl deny people joy of a moment just bc the outcome may have been an L
Taking about fun vs winning. Tracy McGrady is my favorite player and he didn’t win anything. But man watching in during when he was healthy was something else.
lol, the ending was _"we dont say goodbye, we say see you on the next video"_ - Rudy
Why should we forget dwyane wades bulls season, im sure hell always remember playing for his hometown team and they had a really good season
Popular on unpopular take jimmy was amzing, wade had great moments but rondo was the ultimate weapon for that team, im saying of he didnt tear his acl or mcl whatever it was they would have knocked off the celtics that 1st round
It might not have seemed so serious to casual fans, but that was the season IT3 finished 3rd or 4th in mvp voting boston was the 1st or 2nd seed and IT3 sister passed away the day game 1 started i think
Now that I think about it D wade signing with the Bulls might’ve actually played a part in him recruiting Jimmy Butler to play for the Heat
not might’ve, it factually did
Grizzlies picking Mike Conley over Allen Iverson is still the craziest thing that never gets talked about. Conley went on to make 2 all stars over the course of like 15 years.. I'm still taking A.I. over him in 95% of situations.
But do u put Stockton over rondo is the question
The three alphas.
Dwade, who was injured, had to come back in the regular season just to help the bulls reach the playoffs 😂
My question is how the heck in rondo at two lmao
People shit on Wade but he played good in Chicago 19 a game 🤷🏿♂️
As a heat fan I’ve got mixed feelings Wade should’ve been a heat lifer… but recruiting jimmy was massive
If you think Rondo is overrated you must also think Butler is overrated. They are both guys who coast during the regular season and pick it up in the playoffs.

Whoever made the description to this video is blasphemous. 😂😂😂
I didn’t even catch that til just now 😂😂😂
This is how I feel about Westbrook on the Lakers
I know why malone’s face is covered, but why stockton’s?
Rusty we are not losers… we are niche losers
i mean who knows what woulda happened if rondo doesn’t get injured🤷🏽♂️up 2-0 going back to chicago. they also had a chance to get revenge on the cavs for that BS game 5 win when david blatt shoulda got a tech. (shoutout to bron hitting the corner three tho)
Well my favorite player is Russell Westbrook and my team is the Lakers, but it was not a good time seeing him in my team's jersey.
You may be an awkward weirdo in adult life Jacob.... but you have your own house💯💯💯😀
I’d prefer D wade to stay in MIA his whole career of course but if he were to go anywhere going home woulda been and was the most justifiable imo
my god those heat jerseys at 8:19 are disgusting
YOU ARE NOT A LOSER RUSTY BUCKETS
if rondo is 2nd, who's the most overrated player of all time in your opinion?
Judging by his face on the thumbnail, it seems like not even Dwyane Wade didn’t even like this.
Btw new thumbnail style loading…
We need a rusty buckets most overrated players of all time list
bit ironic you went on about how bulls fan were over d wade so quickly and then you go on to admit if you were more mature you’d be the same way… bulls fans aren’t mature is the thing lol. they had no reason to have any neg feeling of d wade.
You ain't a f***ing loser dude.
Nah I loved it
I refreshed my yt and this was posted 47 seconds ago so I think I’m the first view
u not a loser
D Wade was good on the bulls but forgettable at time
use me as a rusty is NOT a loser button!!!!
Wade in anything but Heat just felt wrong. I’m not saying you’re wrong but… you’re wrong.
Who do u have number one most overrated player ever ?
Probably KD
I like dwayne wade as a player but I lost respect for him as a person when he refers to lebron as his brother after he left him out to dry when lebron left the heat
You’re not a loser stop it!!!
