- Fred VanVleet doesn’t take this life for granted. In this special extended episode, Open Gym relives the moments that have made VanVleet a favourite to Toronto Raptor fans everywhere, including fulfilling his dream to play in the NBA despite not getting drafted, becoming a G League champion, re-signing with the big club, becoming a father, and then finally, providing a pivotal role in the the team’s first NBA championship.
Fred’s career is sorta like his beard game....at first it was struggling tryna fit in, but now it’s flourishing and one of the best young talents in the league
Bro i grew my beard after seeing this man's beard lmao.
Amazing!
And the great thing about both is their far from over. Who knows how many championships and beard styles we'll have before the end?
watching young freddy talk about not getting drafted but knowing he a champ now feels good
hy
only took two years to go from g-leauge champ to NBA CHAMPION
My favourite player. There’s nobody with more heart than Fred
Started from the bottom, now he's here
I thought that in my head right when I seen the video
@@lilkrishbeats4526 its the same vid from before, just extended.
YESSIR
Knowing Fred personally, this story really shows what he went through and how he overcame the obstacles. He always put hi heart on the court watching him play basketball against my brother. I knew he was going to be great. #BOY
mannnn ,
Me and my family are from Venezuela-newcomers to Canadá . Last weekend we went to our first ever Toronto Raptors open practice game in London ON. My daughter and son were mesmerized . My almost two years old boy is obsessed with basketball and now obsessed with the Raptors. Hope whenever he reads this when he grows up. I believe he has a gift for basketball and music. We’re proud of him. Thanks for inspiring us
Welcome to the tribe brother! Raptors forever!
Freddy Gonna be a all star soon I guarntee
Next season him an siakam are gonna be a major problem. They gonna be Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in the east and Fred has better defense.
NBA_ _Legends your damn right Freddy is the most underrated player in the nba
@@myunclesfav7078 I like the profile pick btw😂🤣
Always Nate he almost was this March. I don’t remember who beat him with the votes but he was pretty close
He just needs to learn to score at the basket and he’ll be an all star easily. It’ll bring his efg above Lowry and Kemba and he shoots volume 3’s from deep at an elite rate, great defender in the system, makes clutch plays
Really hope Toronto locks him up for 4 years. We need him to take the reins from Kyle when he slows down.
Yeah, i agree
This aged well
That's why I love the fact that they've had this time together as it has only benefited Fred to be around a player who plays as hard as he does
@@cartersmith8253 very well
Here right after I saw he just landed a 4-year, $85million contract. Most for an undrafted player in the history of the NBA...Keep working...your spot is reserved..whatever it is you do....your time is coming!!
him getting his first all star selection made me watch this. that man works hard as fuck for everything and doesn’t take it for granted, such an inspiration
Will never get tired of watching Fred's story
815!!!! Rockford loves you Fred!
The career that Fred began with in the NBA has always been inspirational. The judgement by other people should not affect how your career will pan out. Of course, all players need that one opportunity to get start with. Glad that Toronto picked Fred up and believed in him and more importantly he believed in himself. With his grid-it-out demeanor and attitude, Fred will soon be a recognized All-Star over the top picks in his draft class.
HE STAYS
hope you come back to the raps!!
Fredricooooooo
Whoever makes these open gym videos needs a major raise
Y’all have a bunch of dogs on ur team, huge fan of pascal and steady freddy. You guys have arguably the best development team in the league.
Congrats to all of Freds family......you raised him well..a very special hello to Joe, Freds father keeping the piece in Rockford .....
From David the painter
FVV 3 three pointers in the fourth quarter of NBA Finals game 6, cementing the chip for the 6. Legend player and Toronto will love you for life.
I love the fact that Fred earned a pretty big contract.... and now his play has gone up another level. Such an engine on this guy and still hasn't reached his ceiling
Steady Freddy will always be a goat in my opinion
When I saw this I realized that I have a lot a common with Fred's mindset. Appreciate the process of getting better. Appreciate the adversity of the game of basketball. I love Fred's philosophy on life and basketball.
Can we have one for DeMar? That would be so cool if you guys could pull it off!!
Fizzy nah you gotta have a ring for one of these
Time to move on man... It’s a business
@@qp7888 oof that hurt lol
38mins of Steady Freddy from Open Gym?? I need this injected into my veins right now!!
15:22 The tiny burst of confetti for the D-league champions made me laugh way more than it should have.
🤣🤣🤣
Freddy’s basketball IQ off the charts! Winning DNA is his blood! Love his motto Bet on yourself! Lucky to have him as a member of the Toronto Raptors! Now go and get that 2nd chip (and dip!!!)
I love Open GYM......Fred V. keep shine my brother
Future PG of the Raps! He winnin at least 2 more here.
When Kyle gets old Fred’s gonna be starting in an instant
This production quality is INSANE.
freddy live in north york? looked like it, give this man canadian citizenship
No over dribbling, basic moves, all fundamentals, elite shooter, passes the ball, plays with hustle, and plays defense. Raptors should build the team around this guy...
Such a humble dude and so deserving of this opportunity!
All these origin stories.. Fred.. Skills.. TD... I've watched them on repeat so many times I'm going to be a Raps trivia god
He’s getting signed
This man is the definition of heart and hustle! I'm going to cry myself a river if we ever trade him!
This dude is genuine af...Love him!
It's been amazing to see his journey. I can still remeber when he took my old high school down state with a team that had no one over 6'0 . His journey is only starting
Steady Freddy! Steadying the team with his calm demeanor since Day 1
Absolutely love these open gyms and the insight y'all provide.
Freddy's probably my second favorite player behind Pascal. Guys got a killer 3 ball, great agility and ball handling skills. He's just a really good PG. Likeable guy too.
Four years later, an NBA Championship and highest paid undrafted player in NBA history - Congrats! 😀
Fred VanVleet. NBA Champion. Future floor general for the Raptors, as they establish their dynasty.
Love from rockford! Such an inspiration
He's called steady freddy
This ones about to blow up
My spirit animal 🔥
Bless open gym for covering this team
Pay the man whatever he wants. Gotta keep him hard to find starting PGs in the NBA that can shoot and play d
when masai and bobby deciding whether or not we pay him they just need to watch this vid
I’m sure they’ll pay him but it’ll be tough to match when a team like the bulls offers him a max contract. We need cap space to potentially sign Giannis and I hope Fred would take a pay cut so we can make a big splash in free agency. Knowing Fred tho, he might go chase that bag.
thegagz hes an unrestricted free agent. He’ll definitely get his big bag offer elsewhere so Raps cant low ball him.
29:07 fred's daughter trying to grab the mic like she did that time during his postgame interview haha
all the other teams in the draft should be embarrassed for not wanting fred. especially the ones that actually needed a point guard. just shows the rest of the league values potential, talent and athleticism too damn much. if you followed fred's college career and didnt think he was an nba player you were flat out wrong. he was one of, if not the best leader in the draft. He was a winner, great at running a team, did whatever it took to win, and none of his skills were broken. easy to believe in to get better
class individual. great father! great guy. love ya freddy!
Its actually good that he didnt get drafted, otherwise he wouldnt be with our Raptors and be a champ in 3 years. Way to go Fred. We always like you as a great player thats why I have all your bobbleheads. Stay humble and dont forget our great home city of Toronto. We love you FVV!
will need 5 more of these before he is done playing !!!!!!!!!!!
u know hes a raptor when he calls the city torunno
36:46 iconic
Rocking his Jersey while watching this 💪
So underrated..... Killing it
9:51 The reason why Masai will pay FVV max money.
Freddie!!!! Love this man! ❤️
Our future GOAT PG 🐐
If you are prepared and willing to put in hard work whatever you want is attainable. I would love for him to be on the NY Knicks
Naw
9:50 FREDERICOOO!!!
His a nice guy and a great player! Silent but dangerous inside the court! Idol☝️🏀 Vergel Abelong from Philippines Shout out... God bless
I’m weak how everyone spraying champagne + yelling and he holding the bottle from the neck just sippin it
Thank you Fred big fan without you we wouldn't have one the championship
9:50 Steady Freddy has swag. Lol
Mr. Fred Champion 54 Van Vleet Sr!!
We gotta vote him in for All star next season!!!
Freddy's story is so inspirational man #Underdog 🎲
Fred it was cool meeting you at the boxing gym in Rockford .
Proof that you should never give up. We can all learn from Steady Freddie.
Me too. He's my fav player. But this video can't stop making me wonder if he's going to somewhere soon.
It’s story time 👏🏽✊💯 what’s up open gym!
Big Raptor fan and Fred is my favorite player. He's not afraid of shit, can always trust him to take a big shot.
Seen him at Wichita State. Tried to recruit him to Emporia State a D2 school. So glad he made the right decision especially after I seen how he played at WSU. Let alone after that I thought he would be something
Undrafted to key role player thanks to a new coach to NBA champion, can’t get better than that! 👌🏻
a lot of players on toronto seem to have had a much deeper road to success in my eyes,
look at freddy man, so inspirational
🐐
Fred Van 3t!!
give this man the extension ASAP
FREDDY ALL STAR
Fred is an example of a rose the grew from concrete.
Give me a player like FVV anyday the man got heart and ain’t scared of anybody
Fred was born to be a raptor
Just love this guy!
such a quality human being... please extend his contract
🔥
We could definitely run it back next year 😤
Who’s here after Freddy dropped 54 points 🔥🔥
🙋♂️🙌
Hard to not to cheer for Steady Freddy! I hope he stays with the Raptors.
WHOS HERE AFTER FRED MADE THE ALL STAR GAME ⭐️🎲
14:18 HOL UP Bruno draining 3s from 6ft outside
These are so cool
When I moved from Chicago to Rockford in 2009. I was a sophomore at aurburn high school we had African American history together.
I can't believe this happened down the street from me lol.
Freddy probably counting down the days to reunite with his barber.
Sad thing about Rockford is that not a lot of ppl take pride in the community...
815 lets go
