My name is Markus Carr aka Swish and I am CEO of a media and event company called Cross Over Nation based in Austria (Europe). Originally from Los Angeles, CA. and played college basketball at Cal State Northridge University from 1998-2002 and winning the Big Sky Conference in 2001-02 season earning the Universities first ever invitation to the NCAA tournament. Afterwhich I would be fortunate to enjoy a 15+ career as a professional basketball player worldwide.

I'm born and raised in New York City almost 63 now. We grew up watching street ball, primarily the Rucker in Harlem. I saw Clyde, Nate Tiny Archibald, Charlie Scott, Pee Wee, Helicopter, Doctor Jay and My Favorite, Joe Hammond 'The Destroyer". He coukd do it all, and dud. Great shooter with a Banker, dope handle, get uonbut was mostlyba scorer. His battles with Doc were Legendary.
I'm sorry gentlemen if a woman walks up to you and asks you how big you are and then asks if she can feel it you should Definitely get away from that woman.Because she is for the streets and you don't want any of that
3 of the guards from Arkansas--Marvin Delph, Sidney Moncrief, and Ron Brewer. The group that played with Bill Cartwright at the University of San Francisco was great. I remember Chubby Cox had great handles. The Iowa guard--Roy Marble, the shooting guard who played at Pitt with Jerome Lane and Charles Smith--Demetrious Gore. Dwayne McClain and Gary McClain were pretty good when they helped to beat Patrick Ewing's Hoyas and Anderson Hunt off the Running Rebels team were pretty good.
Little guys who could ball--Mouse McFadden, Keith "Mister" Jennings, Jay Burson.--just some names who I thought of in the past. Oscar Schmidt was money. I remember Thunder Dan Majerle couldn't guard him and he was destroying the US as a one man show. He'd come down the court and launch it kind of like Caitlin Clark.
He shot better than 50% from 30ft before the 3 point shot was introduced to NBA, college and high school. Went to Virginia State in CIAA then transferred to Norfolk State and was blackballed for smoking weed in the dorms. Still humbled today but wasn't a drug addict.Please look him up. You can find history of him starting with Chesapeake Virginia and CIAA COLLEGE Virginia State. He makes Steph Currys shot looks easy., 6'4 225, long arms,handle like Pete Maravich and the peak of his jump shot was 10ft. Could shoot both left35%,and right handed 50% jump shots.I haven't seen anything close to his shot other than Steph. Again please research him basketball junkies.
It’s sad to see how many guys on this list drugs hindered their potential. There may be three guys in this list who didn’t lose their chance around drugs in someway. Sad bro, for real.
Jonathan hargett and taurean tHead moy need to be added to that list along with ed booger smith pewee Kirkland ed cota..Ronnie fields was a good one he out there looking lije vince carter when he was with the raptors or in high school with those dunks
What's crazy is the best player isn't even on here. Schea Cook is listed as #1 but he was the second best player in his class. Esteban Weaver was the #1 player and he was definitely better. I saw both of them play live and Weaver is still the greatest HS baller ever.
Great video! I'm proud of Keith for using his good and bad experiences to instill guidance and wisdom in the kids-about basketball and life. The youth needs to receive guidance early on like Keith is doing with that boy (Ethan)-1it really can propel them into a path where the probability of success and well-being is much greater than the youth that does not receive it.
Jerry West said that Raymond Lewis was the best player who never play in the NBA and Jerry Tarkanian said Raymond was the best basketball player he ever seen. There are two documentaries of Raymond.
Reggie Harding never played a college basketball game! Drafted by Detroit Pistons twice! He couldn’t make a college team because he reportedly couldn’t read!
Thanks for that fam! Its wild some of the information that comes out regarding many of these players. These days you never hear about a talented player who didn't make it because of grades - very rare. Big up for the comment and thanks for your support of the channel!
Lol @ Lenny Cooke. He was a few years older than LBJ and got outplayed by him at ABCD. He was also a year old for his grade. Ronnie Fields was a 6'3" off-guard who couldn't shoot, dribble, create his own shoot or pass. Schea Cotton was a year old for his grade and peaked as a sophomore in HS. When he finally got to college he underwhelmed. Pro sports are littered with felons, woman beaters, murderers, etc... if you can play, you've got a spot. These dude's just weren't good enough. There's no shame in that, 'cause most aren't, it just is what it is.
Well not exactly… there’s players here that played against and WON against NBA players and legends at Rucker Park in Uptown NYC. 1 was offered contracts and played for a minute then quit- he was making millions hustling vs. a few thousand dollars in the NBA…. Another has a full movie about him and Kareem Abdul Jabbar is in the movie….. ohhhh they were good enough, they just had other things in life that happened
