“I Never Played At The RUCKER” Rod Strickland Reveals Why He Didn’t Play StreetBall… 

Was a Knicks fan when they had Strickland/ They traded him.Ever since then son, I Hated them.- Nature

I love Rod telling his truth of how his career went. He told me once that his unprofessionalism cost him a lot of money . When he was a top five point guard in the league . I'm happy to see his growth as a coach and as a man .

Boo Harvey is another underrated NYC point guard who played with Rod and against Rod in highschool

I saw Rod when he played at DePaul vs St John's at the Mecca they won i think he had like 25 points the brother was nice.

THE LEGENDARY AND UNDERRATED ROD STRICKLAND!!!!!! Came to our basketball camp and was mad gracious in sharing his knowledge.

I can sit and listen to Rod Strickland talk the game of basketball for hours. The man's knowledge, respect and love for the game is amazing. Man a New York city legend sitting and discussing other NYC point guard legends- THANKS FELLAS !!!

Fellas..I appreciate yall having Rod on here man. I grew up a huge fan of his when he played for the Bullets/Wizards back in the day. I’m from DC so he was my favorite PG. Love the interview man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man this Rod interviews are lit asf i need more

"First round pick, why the Knicks trade Rod Strict...that man was nice!" Sadat X

Dwayne "Pearl" Washington... R.I.P. He was a good dude. He played college ball with my cousin Rafael at Syracuse and I also had my own personal vibe with him while competing against him in the California Summer Pro League at Loyola Maramount. We ( Pearl, David Wingate, Bobby Phills, Tony Smith, Elden Campbell, Reggie Cross, Robert Pack) and myself ate breakfast together a few times...

My favorite pg, He gave my man 63 Jersey shore summer league . I hope to meet him one day. I moved to Largo MD. Never had the chance to meet him.

I’m with Rod on the StreetBall ish. I never got into the idea of sitting there and letting some clown dance around in front of me with the ball.

I seen him on 55th with Skip one time!!

Ron Strickland was so nice Raekwon the Chef had a line for him on Wu Tang Forever in 97…

Much respect for this interview right here 💯💯💯💪

Great interview so far fellas!! Keep them coming 🔥🔥🔥

The GoD of New York in basketball...the great ROD STRICKLAND....peace

Don't forget Bernard King please

Bag fuel - is official!!! What’s understood Needs no explanation!!! The fact that Esso & Hy ( space ghost behind the camera) interview ppl outside of “ rap music “ is genius!! Beloved Brothers y’all got something speacial- keep nurturing the Brand!!

Rod wanted more playing time. Mark was the better point guard and leader. Rod played better defense and scored at the cup more. Mark Jackson ran the offense and abused smaller guards. Knew the game better and didn’t make turnovers. Mark Jackson shot an I’ll advised brick during the playoffs after coming back from off of a knee injury. Rick Pitino resigned. Stu Jackson took over and they had a descent season. John McCleod was hired as the coach and it was an awful season. Mark came into the third season out of shape. Mo Cheeks got the starting position. Interviewer asks Mark. “What do you think that you can learn by having Mo Cheeks on the team?” Mark responded “Mo Cheeks could learn from me.” John McCleod and Al Bianchi Got at Mark Jackson in practice , pointing fingers in his face and yelling at him. Mark yelled back and got dismissed from practice. They suspended him for slamming the door. After that it was a bad relationship until McCleod left and they brought in Pat Riley to help Mark Jackson get back right again. Then Mark got traded to LA Clippers. The Clippers were a “run and gun” team which was what Mark liked best. He flourished. So did Rod Strickland. The Knicks fell apart without Rick Pitino. Rick knew exactly what to do with Mark and Rod but once he was gone all hell broken loose.

dope interview

Guaranteed make him jump like Rod Strickland -WU-Tang

Great interview! PEACE 7

OG ❤ I love Rod Strickland

Good video guys..😮

ROD STICKLAND IS THE BEST PG FROM NY

First name that came to my mind was Pearl Washington. From the choker rope chains, fresh kicks, style and handle

I had to smile when Rod said I forgot about Kenny Anderson. Because the first person I was thinking about was Kenny Anderson.

Here in Chicago there's a lot of love for Rod, from when he went to DePaul he's an Icon here for real. But yeah Hynaken you're bugging they weren't beating MJ and the Bulls, once the Bulls dismantled the Pistons it was a wrap.

I love Rod he a real one im from DC and meet him one night when he played for wizards on the humble he gave me a autograph and brought me a drink 💯

What up STA! Mitchell projects. He is from the south Bronx

Jamal Tinsley was a MAJOR PROBLEM. Highly underrated.

Everyone was thinking Marbury

He played at a summer league in NYC 1996 he dropped 63 points in the second half didn’t play the first half

Rob was the best small finisher I ever seen in the NBA...

The NBA has never been ready for the likes of R. Strickland, J. Williams, A. Iverson & K. Irving. They are all humble yet their game is flashy as fuck, which makes it difficult to understand them as players in real time...

Real dude ,met him a few times back in the day when he was a knick man of the people !

Max mostly, undivided then slide in sickening Guaranteed made ’em jump like Rod Strickland

Rod is SOOOOOO NYC 😊✊🏾✌🏽

Steph was the only PG from NY who could shoot. Rod was the smoothest PG from NY. Kenny A was nice but he never put on weight and couldn’t shoot outside the paint

Rod would eat in this era

Bro was lethal on the Dreamcast. I forgot the game but my cousin used to yell “SCRICKLAND” 😂 shit had me heated. Like whotf is yo?😂

Pearl washington my cousin rip

ROD STRICKLAND IS A GEM. ROD STRICKLAND SHOULD OPEN UP A BASKETBALL ACADEMY BECAUSE 1. HIS SKILL 2 HIS PERSERVERANCE OF DEALING WITH THE POLTICS THAT TRIED TO DESTROY HIM IN NEW YORK WHICH REVOLVED AROUND PITINO AND STU JACKSON. ROD STRICKLAND PERSEVERED AND HE SPEAKS WITH A CLARITY NOT FOUND IN ENOUGH NBA PLAYERS WHOSE INTELLECT HAS NOT PARALLED THEIR BASKETBALL 🏀 SKILL😮

NYC 🏀

Pearl was the guy that made me pick up the rock. #31 🕊🕊

Mannn, he broke down that “Entertainers……”[‘55th] stuff like I would. It would be “HATE” from ME tho😉. Rod’s The ONE. Afta Tiny!

Carlton silk Owens from Coney Island and Rhode Island and ken mouse McFadden from lower east side Madison square rec and Cleveland state

Shamgod

I agree... I give propers to ppl who can do it in the natural flow of the game. ISo is a think but no one trying to do that all game. And there's a humiliation aspect to some of this stuff too, which is distasteful to me.

The first round pick why the Knicks trade Rod Strick that man is nice. Sadat X

Gteat interview a trew baskeball legend

Cmon I thought he would say MARK JACKSON

Rod never played In Nelson park either…

Jamaal tinsleyyyyy

Let's not forget boo harvey

Been a Rod fan since DePaul. I could tell he not a street ball type of guy. "Let's hoop"!!

Pee Wee Kirkland Kenny Anderson (Cheeba)

KHALID REEVES

IDK IF HE WAS FROM KINGSBRIDGE IN THE BRONX BUT I SAW HIM WHEN I WAS LITTLE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD HE SIGNED MY BASKETBALL 🏀 AND ALL MY FRIENDS BASKETBALLS I WAS PROBABLY 7 YEAR'S OLD Maybe 8 WE WALKED TWO BLOCKS UP GOT ROBBED BY SOME 16/17 YEAR OLDS MAYBE THEY WERE OLDER WHO KNOWS I JUST REMEMBERED THEY LOOKED LIKE GIANTS NEXT TO US 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 AND MY FRIEND HAD A DISPOSABLE CAMERA WE TOOK A FLICK WITH HIM AND THE ROBBERS TOOK THAT TOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MAN WHAT i would do to have that pic.

How bout 10 Kenny Patterson played at DePaul

Steph is the greatest NYC PG and he’s definitely a Hall of Famer!!

Dont Rod Strickland still live in Memphis? ....Ok hes the head coach at LIU now

Lloyd wasn't a PG though...

Played against Steph when I was 14 he was 12, we shouldn’t have been out there with him period!!

Rod giving me gille the kid vibes

stu jackson was a hater. He Felt he was the only Jackson that was gonna get publicity.. Stu tried to ruin mark' s career

Yes a walking bucket I was on the same wave rod I wanted to give you 30 was the way I showed you up a walking 30

Tiny Archibald

Just wasn’t his thing

Rod Strickland Dont Play Games !!!! That's Why He Didnt Play In The Rucker Bcz Rod Would Put Hands On You !!!

Ruckers over rated

I bet these little clips make y'all a couple dollars... BUT, I bet y'all would make a lot more bread & would get A LOT more views of you put the entire video out 1st & then hit the casual viewers with the clips after the full episode drops. It would be different from what everybody else is doing & I think it would work for y'all more than it would hurt. Vlad started that clip shit & I immediately saw the money grab in it. It's culture vulture'ish in my opinion. Keep working, fellas

Yo Rod, stop letting Paul Martin f!@k up ya legacy. - U scripting kid. It never works out. He's a legacy killer. U know wut I'm talking about?- Anytime baby, anywhere. - U not me. I fux wit cha but please God, stop it. This Mike Alike NYC- AKA- Never wore Jordan's in my life.

How you a ny baller and never played in rucker

NY hoppers are overrated

ROD STRICKLAND CANNOT SPEAK THE TRUTH. ROD AND MARK WERE TOO BLACK TOO STRONG FOR AL BAINCHI AND JOHN MCLEOD. AL BIANCHI DID NOT LIKE MARK .RICK PITINO AND STU JACKSON DID NOT LIKE ROD. NO PRO SPORTS WANTS TO DEAL WITH STRONF BLACK MEN PERIOD AND DEFINITELY NOT STRONG BLACK MEN FROM NEW YORK

Mitchell projects, 🫡 to bro rod
