Faried + Nene was an offensive hell of a frontcourt, but they were always screwed on defense. Once they traded Nene for Tragic Bronson they immediately became playoff caliber
@@mikhailavanesov5912 are you insane? Shawn Marion is a borderline Hall of Famer. Averaged nearly 20 and 10 at small forward for most of his career. You saw him at the tail-end when he won that Championship with Dallas.
That 2021 postseason for Reggie was so crazy lol he was kind of a legitimate 2nd option to Paul George after kawhi went down. He bailed the clippers out so many times.
He was balling that series, sad to see his slump. Why isn't he getting any playoff minutes with the nuggets? I noticed they're playing like less than 10 guys this series
@@301Cardosi yeah i did some googling after that and said 8 or 9 is usually the number, which i was surprised to hear but i guess it's to do with flow and consistency.
Alex Caruso deserves his own video for his nicknames alone: The Bald Eagle The Scalp The Friar The Bald Mamba Hair Jordan The Accountant the list goes on
@@muhammadrizkisatria5059 I wasn't focused on the role player part, my favorite nickname is the torture chamber, role player or star, don't care, best nickname
As a Detroiter and massive Pistons fan, gotta shout out the one and only "The Microwave" Vinnie Johnson! Also my man "The Palace Prince" Tayshaun Prince. "Big Nasty" Corliss Williamson. And how could I forget "Junkyad Dog" Jerome Williams!
Austin Reaves had the nickname "Hillybilly Kobe" in college and even in the early days of his career for the Los Angeles Lakers. Once he hit a game-winner against the Dallas Mavericks in December 2021, though, people realized he wasn't just an undrafted rookie but a serious player who could hit shots in the clutch. Thus, Reaves has been known by the nickname "AR-15" after the famous rifle, or just "AR" for short, ever since. He could be the start of the next Andy Hoops video: "Players Who Reinvented Their Already Famous Nickname." 🏀🏆
Definitely my favorite nickname from this list were Big Shot Bob, Hillbilly Kobe, The Microwave, Skip to My Lou, Birdman, White Chocolate, AK-47 and Chocolate Thunder
I remember when Alston got on with Houston and felt like that gave and 1 players some credibility. I always hoped more of them would get into the league, but I never saw any others
One you missed out on was Doug McDermott and his plethora of nicknames. Dougy Buckets, Dougy McBuckets, and when he was on the thunder (my personal favorite).. Dougy McThunderBuckets
Tony Allen-The Grindfather Wally Szczerbiak-Wally World Kenneth Faried-Manimal Ricky Rubio-La Pistola Kyle Anderson-SlowMo Leandro Barbosa-Brazilian Blur Nick Young-Swaggy P
*Brian "THE CUSTODIAN" Cardinal* from the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks. Brian was truly a role player AND he played an important role that 2011 year. Enjoyed every second of this video.
I think Magic is the best nickname. The fact that it completely replaced his first name shows how good it is. Nobody even calls him by his first name. It's always been Magic.
I was living in Dallas when they brought in Ryan Broekhoff. He was tall but didn’t look like a basketball player, so whenever he’d have a highlight, they’d call him “Ryan from accounting”
definitely for sure my favorite NBA nicknames for sure The Microwave Vinnie Johnson White Chocolate Jason Williams Birdman Birdman Chris Andersen BIG SHOT BOB Robert Horry Jason Eugene Terry (the JET)
Jazz teammate: You chose the number 47? You really want to be named after Russias most famous export! AK: You mean pickles and vodka? JT: You can have one more guess Andy.
Stil waiting for videos about the pre-Cavs and the new CBA to be effective starting next season. Oh one more thing, can you also make a video about what's next for the teams that got eliminated in the first round? Especially the Bucks and the Grizzlies? Thanks.
I thought Reggie's would be Bobby Shmurda. 😂 My favorite nicknames are The Answer and Vinsanity though they aren't role players when they got their nicknames and one I found the most hilarious is The Kum Bucket. If it's for role players "The White Mamba" is the coldest of them all.
Andy, first and foremost, love the channel and content that you create. I’ve been a subscriber for sometime now and I have a video suggestion - players who deserve to get their number’s retired by a team but it hasn’t happened yet. It sparked my thought realizing that my Knicks allow Julius Randle to don #30 which was the great Bernard King’s number. Just a thought!
I'll add some from the most famous Spanish caster Andrés Montes (RIP): Ricky Rubio: Risky business Calderón: Mr Catering Pau Gasol: E.T Shaq: article 32 of the LA law (sth like that): I do whatever I want whenever I want however I want. Carmelo Anthony: Caramelo (means candy) Anthony
2:40 if this is today nba: “ref don’t call no travel no more in todays game. Back in my days everything was a travel, getting punch in the face wasn’t a foul, everyone taking a triple team contested jump shot, smh”
