How Good Was Monta Ellis Actually? 

Your video was horrible.. Monta Ellis was Elite.. just never had a chance to be surrounded by good pieces

17.8 ppg 3.5 rpg 4.5 apg career averages Dude was criminally underrated 🔥

Baron Davis Al harrington were not no names Baron was a top 3 draft selection and was a beast for years and stephen jackson was cold too and could score on anyone they were not energy guys 😂😂

I feel that monta was a pretty solid player and Honestly I feel that he still can compete with the best now

Monta Ellis and Louis Williams dominated High School basketball in Mississippi and Georgia respectively at around the same time. Both standouts packed their respective home and away gyms.

Monta Elllis had it all

Doesn’t get enough credit for his playmaking, almost 5 apg for his career... maybe should have played PG and dominated smaller guards like Steph does scoring wise.

the GOAT NBA 2K lay up package in the 360 era

Monta Ellis have it all. Except defense, passing, size, leadership and success.

You have to be out of your damn mind to think that Monte Ellis was not a great player. First, he was one of the fastest players in the league. Hence the nickname, "Mississippi Missle". Monte could shoot the paint off the ball and if he wasn't that good why in the would did GS give him a $66 Million dollar contract, over 6 years, to secure him. He also outshined some of the top players in the league head to head. Players like The black Mumba, Kobe "Bean" Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant to name a few. So stop hating on Monte. He had handles and could cross you up with the best of them. Why don't you just ask some of the players in the league and get their opinion on playing against him.

He’s someone who I think would be even better now. In today’s systems he’d either have the green light to flat out score or be an awesome 6 man

A Chris kaman video would be cool. Elite numbers.elton brand. Emeka okafor. Carlos boozer. Interesting ideas

Poor Monta, the league never gave him a chance I remember the We Believe Warriors, they were so fun to watch

In the end though it worked out, if he would’ve stayed with Golden State no telling how many championships could’ve been won.

At the last min he said fuck that🤣🤣

Monta was an absolute monster on the court 🔥

u tripping

love these vids bro, i remember when my sixers were selling off the whole team to begin "the process" there were rumblings about them signing Monta Ellis to sort of be a "tank commander" but Sam Hinkie wanted a legit G league team to ensure they had a top pick lol some requests? Tyreke Evans, Josh Smith, Carlos Boozer, Brandon Roy, Yi Jianlian....also might be cool to do a recap of the Lebron-Deshawn Stevenson drama where DS was calling Lebron "overrated". just some thoughts

With a lot of good NBA players being free agents in today's game, the Sixers should try to get a lot of players such as jr smith Carmelo, Isaiah Thomas and Monte and ochre for people that can still play and will benefit the team

Anthony morrow would be a good one to do

can you do a video on joe Johnson?

I remember when the mavs got him and I was so hype and then I watched how fun he was and loved him but slowly understood why the warriors let him go

So monta Ellis player on a terrible warriors team and was constantly hitting buckets ….was my favorite player and it sucks because that may have been the worse role players I’ve ever seen and they fought every night

I really wished him and Jennings did something with the bucks :(

Even though he is one of my favorite players all time, you might be right about him not being elite level. However we cant deny that he could kill anyone any day

Fire man

Who you guys think is winning it all this year?

Steph and Monta good friends actually.. and it was Monta chose to leave they actually chose Steph to trade but Monta said a rebuild with Steph was better than a rebuild him.. just a fact check..

I didnt want to be like kobe or mike ...i wanted to be like Monta he was quick handles smart and athletic he could finish and shot ...and defense wasnt elite but he held his own..best 2 way in the mid 2000s and early 2010s

He had a solid career. Hope he saved his money.

Wazzup! Awesome video, you explained it very well. The older I get, the more i see how a black hole this guy was, but man..when I watched him on those Warriors teams, the man was living highlight! Love him! But yea, you are right. He wasnt that good.

🔥🔥

6’3” shooting guards have NO chance in the nba. The list of failed 6’3” shooting guards is LONG

Come on guys bless who’s ever little (Heart) made this video I’m sure he meant well. Lol.

Damn good video bro

This is my argument for LeBron over Jordan. Many good players Ellis, Anthony, Howard have just been lost to the style of play in these last 3 quick eras of bball. LeBron has dominated in the ISO (Jordan era),The Beautiful Game (Spurs style) and 3&D Small Ball era (Warriors) with the ability to change his game. I don’t think MJ would shoot over 30% from three regardless. This would have taken MJ off the court today unless he pulled a Ron Harper and ran the point with 2 other snipers to feed. I question MJ defense would translate today because guys are just more skills, bigger and more athletic. While in the 90s he was more imposing, a Kawhi, KG,PG or Tatum would have no problem giving him buckets like Bird did.

Do amire stoudmire

Monta Ellis have it all 😂

Matt Barnes or delonte West please

monta ellis was better than curry...the warriors just never gave him the perfect system like they did for curry

how do you do the research and still come off as a casual lmfaoo

Disrespectful

Disagree

League is run by “ undersized “ players

He was a Russell Westbrook before Russell if he would have had a team built around him where the ball is in his hands from beginning to end he could have a triple-double as well or close to it average wise.

Really bad take. Good effort into the video, but just a terrible take. Monta was a good player, but could've been exceptional had he been in the right situation.

Warrior’s almost chose monta over curry for franchise player he was nice tho but not better then Steph

Selfish ball bigger with empty stats that didn't shake Steph Curry's hand.

Mississippi stand up Monta a legend down here

Monta was a net negative

Monte Ellis was elite you left out the part where he led the league in most points scored at the Rim and as you stated he is a under sized guard very under rated Player and clutch

Man I HATED playing against Monta Ellis in 2K back in the day. Dude was annoying af to guard lol.

Monta is underrated and should have made an all star squad one year

Dude was such a baller. He was awesome on the Mavs

If cam Thomas can drop 40's just imagine what Ellis would do and his game log is probably more impressive then just saying his season average

Monta was my DAWG!!! He was one of my fav underrated players

Monta was my favorite player. Relentless atacking the rim with a smooth jelly pack

100% agree with your takeaway. When I hear the name monte Ellis. I immediately think 2 things. 1: decent ball hog style player. 2: the mavs series

People think only A.I. and d. Rose were the only elite guards to be forced to compete with bums and journeymen Monta had to endure playing with bums, too.

Basketball is about getting the ball in the hoop and Monta Ellis did wat he was suppose to do on subpar teams

Monta was my last favorite player to watch...

How good was Michael redd actually plz
