The 500LB MONSTER NBA Players Fear.. 

Dude was an absolute legend they don’t tell you this but he was averaging a triple mcdouble his third year truly so inspiring.

He was basically Shaquille Iverson. RIP!

Broke my heart, this video had me smiling really enjoying Troy and his success story. I was not prepared to hear this man had passed away. Just watching him and hearing about the wonderful successes he'd accomplished was really a heartwarming story. I'm so sorry this man passed away. Kindest Regards to all...

Mann I would of loved to see Troy take his talents to the NBA, Especially with his body size being able to prove people wrong and inspire others. Rest easy Troy 😔🙏🏼

bruh stop roasting him every sentence u took shots at him 😂😭😭

Brah, that ball looks like an apple in his hand 😂😂😂

That Big Mac combo is number one on the list for a reason! Lots of love to Escalade, he was a great person and a very unique talent.

Man loved watching escalade and the professor, skip2my lou,bone collector ect.. im 38 and they were a big part of my .childhood... r.ip. troy

This man was a legend

Rest in Power “Lade”, if y’all don’t know about bro. Look him up ASAP, outside of every big man Lade was a absolute BEAST!!!!

Dude did what made him happy. It sucks he died early but at least he enjoyed his life.

Troy was a truly talented player who could have made it in the NBA but he just wanted to do what he enjoyed most playing street ball having fun and eating Big Macs. This was one of the best documentaries which was very interesting, heart-warming with a touching end. Kudos to the producer and narrator.

Imagine this guy running at u full speed 😳

You say this man earned a bachelor's degree like it ain't 💩. That's something to be proud of.

Man I wish this guy still compensated, he's way more chill and relaxing

rip legend. I grew up on and1 mixtapes, and I was always baffled how this man defied physics. him, hot sauce, the professor, and bones were my all time favorites.

Men imagine if he went fit and played in the league. A big man who dribbles.

6'10" 500 pounds with that power and energy. damn!

Wow!! R.I.P my brother. I've always been proud to see him play!! HE WAS GREAT!!!

RIP “Escalade” Big man.

Nfl players lucky he played basketball

In an alternative universe when biggie grew up with basketball

You really gotta wonder just how many big macs this man used to eat. Like, how can you play ball so well at such a high level everyday since being a kid and still get so big?? It just doesn't seem possible. He really was one of a kind.

This video made me cry about Troy’s story, he was good at what he does, despite his weight, he had very good skills and lovely character. Thus, this story says a lot, no matter how hard life gets enjoy your very peak moments because life is too short to suffer. If you are going to be the best entertainer and best eater for food, like this guy go ahead. But remember take precautions and always look after yourself well, including your health. Furthermore, people need to understand have empathy for peoples’ situation because you never what they are going through and you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Like in this video despite his weight being huge people were so surprised that he was still able to play well in basketball. You will surely be missed Troy RIP 🙏🏾. You’re career definitely inspired many.

Imagine this guy and the professor on an nba team together

R.I.P. Troy "Escalade" Jackson....🌺🌼🌻🥀✌🏽

My family loved Escalade. Gave my 6’9 nephew his shoes… Was such a humble heart. Always invited us on the tour bus, and talked positive words of wisdom with my sons. Chi town love…. RIP ESCALADE, FLASH, BLACK WIDOW!!!!

Damn how time has flown by. I almost forgot about him playing at Louisville. Even though his production wasn't major he was still well liked with fans. I definitely did not realize he had passed. What a shame. RIP.

I can still hear the announcer in my head when he would create a play. “Ohhh BABY!! ESCALAAAAAADE”. Rip Troy.

Troy had a way with people that was his biggest gift that's what got him so far

Zions on his way too 500 pounds

Damn man back in 2000's I remember being a teenager here in Brazil, watching AND1 mixtapes and tryna show sick moves to my friends down here. Good good memories!

“I don’t lose one on one!” Rest in peace Escalade!

Yo he was fast too! played like a 5'8 dudes! facts! Escalade used to rock the parks in nyc...a funny guy and a crowd favorite!! either west 4th street, ruckers and all over NYC with the other talents ..lot of dudes could've rock the nba..I enjoyed watching this brother do his thing! what a site! Rest in Peace brother..thanks for this memory~

It was pleasure to meet him Jackson family is as humble there is god rest his soul Escalate

I had so much fun watching And 1 tripping balls. You're a real one Big Fella!

In the NFL, Aaron Gibson was the heaviest defensive lineman at 410 lbs. He was 6'6". Escalade was 500 lbs and 6'10".... and playing basketball... I wonder if any NFL teams actually reached out to him, because you can see that Troy is very unusually very agile for his size, and was able to sprint down the court. He'd be good on either defense or offense.

In fairness his career lasted longer than most NBA player

I remember watching Escalade, The Professor & Hotsauce back in the day as a kid with the And1 street mixtapes. They were so clean with it & everytime I went to ball myself I'd try too replicate moves I seen them do.

Thank you for the memories big man. RIP Escalade...

“What kinda toilet seat does this man sit on.” Why you gotta do him like that man😭😂

ESCALADE a dam streetball prodigy in his own right.

Damn man RIP Escalade 🙏🏾💯 i Remember playing and1 on the ps2 going ham

And1 is huge part of my child hood. Escalade is an absolute legend for game of basketball. Rip

He’s so big that he makes the basketball look like a mini nerf ball lmao rip my guy

Hefty Lefty and Escalade both died in their 30s Take care of your bodies people

Those were great times. I loved watching them play❤R.I.P. ESCALADE

Amazing story!!!! I've never heard of this fine young man. Thank you for this original content. Subscribing now, can't wait for more from this jem of a channel 🥇

Imagine this guy accidentally falling on u while Ur playin defence

1:23 the OGs know that that was Badlands Chugs doing the Big Smoke order

"Troy's complete disregard for the multiple defenders..." LOL

I remember watching escalade and the professor on ESPN and being amazed how such big dude and little dude were so good....RIP big troy

this guy is the biggie of basketball damn i still cant believe it has been 9 years already. r.i.p

'The only thing he earned was a Bachelor's Degree'. That way of thinking accurately sums up lots of problems.

Had no idea he’s related to Mr. Hand Down Man Down.. makes this document that much better 🙏🏽💪🏽

I saw him live will never forget. He did not play much as I think he was starting to get sick, but was very nice. 1:23

If he could’ve just lost some weigh like at least to 410 he would still be with us. We miss you Escalade😔💔❤️

RIP Escalade ...... talented amazing freak of nature .

One of the greatest. Excellent video 🙏🏼

RIP Escalade, I remember having no interest in Basketball, but found an interest in watching street ball. It was so entertaining to see the personalities battle it out on the court. Way better than the cry baby NBA....

Man Escalade was one of the highlights of the And1 mixtapes. Definitely made my childhood a great one. RIP homie

Rip Escalade

oh my god. i did not know he had passed away until now. i remember watching him play in a charity game at the madison square garden and meeting him after the game. he was such a nice guy. I took a picture with him and still have it. RIP, Escalade.

Troy did it his way ! Troy lived more in his 38 years than most would if they lived 3 lifetimes! RIP Big Man ! Gone but never forgotten!

Rip Escalade B-ball legend

The heart just isn't designed to run a monster like that for longer than 38-40 years. I'm thankful he left a mark on the basketball world, but I'm sad he's gone. You have to love that magical AND1 era when it was all happening (the first time with The Professor and the gang "Hot Sauce"). Good times... I'm thankful I grew up when I did.

I grew up with the great David Guzman from San Bernardino CA. This Boy in middle school weight 350 lbs 6'1 ran the 100 meter dash in 11 seconds flat and it took nearly the entire defense to stop him and Had moves! When we got to the Red zone, Coach would bring in the human bowling ball David Guzman full back, incredible Big Man.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Man, I remember watchin AND1 and seein Lade run around

Mark Jackson's brother, Escalade! and he got a soft touch on the pass. RIP Icon

This video did make me smile...im sad that he dies but im even happier that we got to witness this truly remarkable man...people who defy odds like him come around once in a millinium

Laughed too hard at this guys video, absolutely love the Wit this guy has.

I took a picture with him way back in the day at an AND1 event! 🏀

Damn, I never knew Escalade was Marc Jackson’s brother.

Excellent tribute. Thankyou.

How is this guy not dominating social media.

I surprisingly didn’t know about him till this video, but i’m glad I found out about him. rip legend🙏🏻

Escalade was a powerhouse! He definitely helped the AndOne brand. RIP brother 🙏🏽😔❤️

"Approximately 1000 Big Macs later..." had me dying.

Sad . I remember him when he was a kid since I live across the street from where his family lived in Saint Albans Queens. This was just during the time when his brother Mark was early in his career at St, Johns University. I saw some of Troy's personality even back then

RIP Escalade. You will be missed. And1 fam word up.

Rest in peace brotha escalade. My late condolences to all of his relatives and in-laws. A guardian angel he has became for all who loved him. He was a gentle giant that ran the and1 court. Big up love and respect always

yo I know this won't be read but keep dropping vids like these about street and small time legends, and maybe even a few underrated stars and underdogs in the league. love this content, keep at it.

I don’t even like basketball like that but this video was so well made. Kudos to you bro

Him doin it like that even at that weight is inspirational

I didn’t know him since now but man he’s already a legend in my eyes Rest In Peace man🙏🏽

The not-so-subtle shots at his weight were uncalled for, Rebound.

He was an Escalade with an LS engine, a true legend in and outside of basketball.

Rest In Peace to you big dogg. You won't be forgotten

When he played here at Louisville, the crowd would go crazy to see him at the check-in table. One time, he stole the ball and went the distance of the court for 2-points. Freedom Hall erupted! The guy was definitely a crowd favorite. R.I.P. bro'. 🙏

The editing on this video is exceptional

For a man-mountain he sure is agile 🏀the greats are always taken too early R.I.P Troy and Condolences to his family.

R.I.P Troy Escalade Jackson 1973-2011 🙏🙏 By the way he is not 500 pounds he is 375 pounds!

Rip Escalade May he Rest In Peace, power, paradise, and May he be remembered we miss u legend ❤️🙏🏻😭🕊

Bro getting every single chance he can get to diss this man

Escalade.... AND1 Legend

not the longest run in life, but nothing short of miraculous.

“What else could he do beside make it to the nba” you lowkey trashed this dude the whole video

omg i forgot about escalade! this guy was a freak of nature, you will never find a guy his size with that much athletic ability.

My man flamed him so many times in this video lol
