Untold Story: How A Rudy Gay DNP Started A New Era For The Memphis Grizzlies 

When I was a kid I told everyone who would listen that KD and Rudy would both run the league and win a MVP 😂😂 almost happened

Facts makes sense

Makes TOOOOOOOO much sense. But it happens alot. Some people just don't know what they have.

Well you we’re half right

I agree this does make sense because i too when i was a kd thought rudy was gonna be one of the top players in the league too. He had the superstar talent. Great size, athleticism, skill, he had everything. I was so excited when my raptors traded for him he seemed to be the superstar we needed. Ironically trading him lead to forming our championship core that went on to compete in playoffs for years on end. The issue with rudy is exactly this, he was a selfish player. He got tunnel vision when he played for us. I remember one play where there was fast break with him and demar running up the court. Demar was open up the court but rather then rudy passing the ball he took a shot that missed n could see demar visibly upset. He also had a game where he took 37 shots think scored like 14 dnt remember the exact details then he banned everyone from looking at the stats in the locker room after game. Rudy had the talent just wasn’t a playmaker and chased stats over playing winning basketball

What an insult to Tracy McGrady.

​@@sugu8403 6'9, super athletic , fluid, agile, could shoot from anywhere and get red hot at anytime (TMac was a much better passer IMO) but that comparison actually isn't too far off.

@@lefty206 Shoot from anywhere is a bit of a stretch.. he was building houses when we had him in Toronto, he also like you pointed out didn’t have the court vision McGrady had, he wasn’t as good defensively, and was a whole tier below McGrady as a scorer.

Joe Johnson was tuff too

@@sugu8403idk about a whole tier because mcgrady was pretty inefficient himself but he was better than gay

Contract 💸

​@@murdaaaa3243😂😂😂 aka the bag

I was cracking up 😂😂😂

I heard a player say his eye sight was bad for a lot of years and he refused to get eye surgery , once he did he became more efficient but that was in his king days , he flashed Some moments of what he was capable of

​@@g4lsupreme542wow that's interesting 🤔 never knew that ...must explain his historically poor passing ability

​@@g4lsupreme542 yea I heard a similar thing about his sight being bad

@@mxhughes I think it was a video on RU-vid. And he could’ve got it corrected in his Toronto days . I made a mistake and said kings .

Eh not everyone can be the top top top ever. Only 4000-5000 ppl in the history of this earth have played in the NBA and only about 10 percent va say they had better skills than Rudy. That’s an accomplishment in itself man fuck it .

Them dudes that can shoot 3s and have crazy athletic stats are cheat codes... JR Smith, Gerald Green

Man Rudy is a 2k goat…i used to beat dudes with literally only him scoring…360 dunks and everything

I always played with Memphis on 2k12 and never lost

🐐🐐🐐🐐

2k13 he was different. Multiple 60 point games

B Roy too

Brandon Roy was phenomenal to bad he got hurt.

​@@kevinsabharwal1822 B- Roy was cold.

He sounds like Perk to me. 😂😂😂😂

That's all I hear ​@@nate8604

Lmaooo the way you worded sounds wild but yeah he actually was. Look at his highlights you see bron in so many

@@theapeofwallstreet7613 he actually was what?

Word!! Thank you for watching

Toronto only was nice bc Kawhi. The teams b4 no took serious. VC era was taken serious tho

Rudy was one of the most physically talented athletes I'd ever seen. Yet something was definitely missing.

You should do a little more research… i have a hard time believing Rudy gay makes any team worse. You’re talkin like he doesn’t play D or is a volume shooter.

@@ENDLESS_ICE No I literally mean when he leaves the team the team elevates and goes on a playoff run.

@@ENDLESS_ICEyou just described Rudy Gay

@@aariesharris7894 You don’t watch basketball.

Seems like Rudy had an easily defeated personality. He had like PG/Tatum talent

I remember that too. It’s weird how things worked out.

@@Tony-fq5bn you ain’t Lying. Rudy had it all but didn’t have IT if that makes sense

Relax with the Bandwagon hate for no reason

@@wesleymills560 I’ve said this about Rudy before podcasts were even a thing

2k11

Great comparison I was trying to think of who it reminded me of

I think that's the thing LeBron says about guys that are in the league that can't play

@@KobaniacMinded Rudy could always play he just didn’t live the game. Had no heart.

@@1kingzeusvery true. Rudy gay was PG before PG . Got superstar status while in Toronto . Even played pretty well . But Rudy is more of a closer player. You don’t need him to be on it the whole game. You just need him to finish it. Sometimes coaching plays a factor. Memphis was no nonsense so they got him up outta there since there was no need to replace him. Toronto got him outta there because he was injury prone and a liability on defence. However , so was the entire raptors squad besides Kyle Lowry . He would have fit well elsewhere

⁠@@1kingzeus😂 had no heart? You’re a joke. He doesn’t have the success he had without having heart. You just expect him to live and breathe basketball. Dude did some nasty shii to some of the meanest dudes. It takes heart to do that. Joke.

I used em adamantly lol 😅

One of the best jump shots ever

He be on Paul and kg show

Did not play

Yea man it makes sense
