D. Miles and QRich were the shit back in my highschool days. Always hit the double tap every bucket. Those guys and Allen Iverson were so cool. They added to the culture. Thank you both. *Double tap salute*
@@markhouston2255 Not Maggete he actually had the desire and hunger. His problem was he just wasn't that talented compared to the other Wings at that time. Kobe T-Mac Vince Paul Pierce
Good to see some NBA players that are happy,not really bitter about life!!! God gave us an opportunity of a lifetime,we were millionaire's!!! Really inspirational story!!!
Q Richardson, D Miles, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, and Lamar Odom were like the Clippers version of the Fab 5. If only Dooling and Olowokandi lived up to being high draft picks.
@@flaming3652 naw, I remember him. But he wasn't exactly a high expectation player coming out of Mizzou. And that 2000 draft was terrible anyways. Now Kandi-man was DEFINITELY a swing and a miss. That 98 draft was loaded and they reached on a 23 yr old with no interest in basketball.
This was my favorite NBA team in the early 2000's... I honestly wished they stayed together for a period of time. They had the pieces to make a run in the playoffs. But all these guys were young and high profiled guys... But D.Miles and Q. Rich always had the fly Jordan's on.... FACTS!!!
Wow ! Time flies. I remember watching these dudes and their energetic style of play, back in the early 2000's. They were slightly older than me cause I was a junior in HS at the time. I really thought D-Miles was gonna be the next KG. He used to run like a gazelle and block shots and took defense seriously. Maggette looked like a football player on the court but wasn't really a fan of his. Q-Rich could get hot with them trey balls and light you up. They also has Keyon Dooling, Elton Brand, Keith Closs long-afro-head-ass at 7'3", Mike Olowokandi (super bust), Lamar Odom with the crazy handles for a 6'10" guy, and Jeff Mcginnis. I used to like using this team as a sleeper when busting ass on 2k for Dreamcast. Even though they didn't win a lot of games in real life, their youth and athleticism was easy to play with on the video game. Wished they could've kept this team together a little longer.
These dudes had heat on their feet when playing. Q rich and d miles always had Js months before release had me watching TV as a teen “yo you see the grey 11s on his feet!!” Lamar Odom and D Miles Nike dribbling commercial🔥
Glory Years....This statement is only felt by people who value a certain perspective. If you don't get it, then it is not for you. As soon as I read the title, I already knew what they meant. Salute to those brothers #Glory Days!
Hell yeah! Especially him doing it all by himself up in Vancouver. Big Country would show up every so often, Bibby was still emerging, Dickerson was decent, and the only vet they had at that time was Blue Edwards
Maggette was one of the best 6th man in college history. He played on one of the best Duke teams ever. Instant offense if he played 12 minutes he'd probably give you 12 points
and he was a freshman....I remember a lot of people thought he might of been the number 1 pick that year...….I think they played Arizona in the finals that year right and Arizonas starting 5 all went pro.....those teams were stacked!!!
All 3 three reppin the Ill State, I remember when Q and Corey (Chi City) where lil young bucks in there day right before D Wade by like 2 yrs. Them Clip yrs were exciting but very young but nice to watch, Shout out to D Miles, young OG'S now, damn I feel old...
This Has done my heart so much joy this is the reason i became a clippers fan these 3 plus odom. I am overjoyed just watching this, Lob City before it was a thing!!!!
man 2000 was the shit lol they did it for the culture and i remember highschool I was a huge d miles, q rich and Maggette fan u can tell they truly were brothas man that was real NBA
Dynasty??? Wtf are talking about ? They had talent but never lived up to it. Richardson and Maggette were scored who could score on a bad team . That's about it.Why anyone would anyone say they were gonna be anything special . They were exactly what you saw. Talanted athlete's who could of been great if they worked on their craft. M.Jordan is right these young players come in rich and it runs them. They get the $ based on potential.They dont have to work for it ! Especially Darius Miles holy shit what a waste of talent.He could of been at the least the best defender in the league . I bigger Stacey Augman and more versatile because of his size. Instead he was a borderline bust !!
+Josh Millarich LMAO calm down, keyword "POTENTIAL" my brother! Offense & Defense could've develop over the years and maybe by their mid to late 20s they could've been playoff contenders and probably made some finals appearances but like I mentioned before it all starts with management of the franchise and definitely coaching.
My guys. After every highschool and college bucket I got I did the head double tap 💯 facts... God bless these brothers. Love to see them still building and ok in life. 👊👊
I swear this show better than all the smoke... These dudes be having me rollin!! I love all the stories man... its like you really getting the "Inside Stuff " if you know what I mean.
Man these are them SLAM mag boys. Clippers were dirty back then. I like the stories. Good stuff. Give me a Big Dog, Ray34, and Sam Cassell 3 person interview about that nice Bucks team (maybe Tim Thomas too) that was 1 game away from.the NBA finals. Shoulda coulda woulda....
@@croc313 Bruh, Livingston got hurt so bad, it's amazing that he was able to come back to the league and ball the way he did for Golden State. He was LITERALLY a slightly lesser version of Derrick Rose
Hands down one of my favorite all-time teams to watch while I was growing up back in those days. It's like they said, that Clippers squad just made basketball fun, and were just relatable to how a lot of us were coming up playing the game at that time. I used to mimic that headband double tap when I played with my people back in those early 2000's; headband included, LOL! I hated seeing those guys depart in the way they did, though. They had every ounce of potential and chemistry to become truly great together. The Clippers organization should've held on a bit longer to all of that young talent. Respect, though. Those Clippers of Maggette, Q-Rich, D-Miles, L-Odom, and Brand were my dudes.
Darius Miles use to be my favorite player. I remember playing with him as NBA Live. That Clippers team was so great wish they would of live up to their potential. When D-Miles got trade to Cleveland I would play as the Cavs.
Watched Maggette in Duke and became an instant fan..When he got drafted to Orlando (my fav team at the time) i went nuts...followed him to the Clippers and the Clippers have been my #1 team since. I'll never forget the early 2k teams.. they were a blast to watch win or lose. Wish they would bring back the mid 90's Jerseys though.
Glory days of Illinois High School 🏀....all 3 of these dudes were part of the best era in my state's history Peoria Manual, Garnett, Fields, Joey Range, Lee Lampley
Them cool greys CHANGED THE GAME!!! I remember seeing that SLAM cover KICKS edition. I missed out on the 11s but i copped them 9s. I was in the 10th grade. I still have them til this day
The reason I fell in love with the Clippers cuz of these guys back in 2000 and ever since then I've been a clipper all day baby let's go miles Cory Richardson thank you for the good times 👍😎
DMiles pulled through the city in the black 64, CADILLAC ON GOLD DAYTON'S,HE KILLED EM WIT BLACK ROLLS ROYCE ON 26'S IT SET UP LIKE A TRUCK THX INSPIRATION 💯
Maaaan.. These were the days, I used to love watchin them play.. I remember watching the " The Association: La Clippers" on NBATV.. That squad was so young & talented!
that was one of the best exciting team in the NBA L odom ,D miles ,Q Richardson and Corey specially when they played the lakers it was like watching a finals every time. the best clippers team
Met DM at the mall in Fairview Heights, IL when I was in 8th grade (his rookie year). He was my #2 favorite player behind Garnett. The energy that Clippers team had was so much fun. Even though it was a short time, it was a dream come true when he joined the Celtics along with Garnett. Glad to see he's on the mend and working things out.
