I still remember the game his streak ended. Fact is, once he went to Boston everyone forgot him. Breaks out in Philly, then hometown Boston signs him to a big deal....and never run plays for him. Gotta get Dino Radja his touches, yo! Goddamn ML Carr era, the moron who offered the Bulls two 1st round picks to talk to baseball Jordan. Thankfully they laughed at him.
Because they were using him as a BJ Armstrong spot up marksman shooter the bulk of his career in limited minutes but he had to shoot a consistent higher arc on his shot because all those shooting guards and big pgs had him by 3 to 5 inches. He was going against 6 '4" to 6'7 wings closing out on him that's why he had to host of long threes with his wiry lil frame back in a brutally more physical era.lol
@@carlwallace1129 that's true, he was definitely not a traditional penetrate and pass PG. Then again, Sherman Douglas WAS, but somehow forgot about the passing part (even though he was a wretched FT shooter)
My dad took me to see Dana Barros play at Xaverian high school in Massachusetts when Barros was a senior. If I remember correctly he was averaging something over 30 ppg and the other team triple teamed him and he still went for a cool 36. It was the first time I'd seen someone that good in person, a great memory of a Mass legend!
Dana Barros along with Stackhouse was the few bright lights that kept my heart with the Sixers after the Barkley trade until AI got drafted. Him, Mark Price and Muhammad Abdul Rauf would've been cooking in today's league along with Drazin petrovic (RIP).
Glen Rice Mitch Richmond Dan Majerle Chuck Person Dale Ellis Dennis Scott .. i could keep going .. they would cook even more with all of the space players hv today ..
All jokes aside I grew up in Boston during the 90s and I was a ball player myself. Dana Barros was a great person who used to take kids out to eat and give them pointers in shooting drills. I'll also always remember him for loving his mother so much he drove around in a yellow jeep with Momma in huge letters across his windshield.. I have so much respect for that man..
Dana Barros was like a Eddie House upgrade mixed with Pooh Richardson. once Dana was unleashed he displayed a nice bounce to his uptempo stop n pop pull up game from mid to long range beyond 3pt range.
SALUTE to Dana Baros He had a burner for a jump shot. He gave Kenny Smith a 50 pieace and he hit 9.straight 3s in the 92 playoffs He would eat well in this modern NBA forsure
Thank you so much for doing Dana Barros video, I’ve begged all my favorite NBA content creators to touch on him, and you finally did it. This man is overlooked by the new generation because he’s not on 2k. He’s not on any all time teams or classic teams you can play as. This guy was waaaaay before his time, the very definition of it.
Met Dana at a Celtics youth camp. One of the most down to earth people and one of the most intelligent players I’ve met. He also helped me fix my jumper.
@@powerbadpowerbad Correct. Dana was a Chris Jackson type minus the athleticism. AI could kill you inside and out, especially if he got that pull up mid range going.💯💯
This was great. I remember Dana and met him as a kid. Man I forgot about him. This actually made me realize and remember how good he was. Sad how the NBA misused him. Classy guy!
Man, I loved watching him play back in the day; his alley oop game winning 3 (off one foot!) is still bananas to see today. Def ahead of his time given how shooting the 3 is now the weapon of choice in the league. I thought we may see something of a Barros 3.0 with Carson Edwards but so far that hasn't been the case.
No. Dana was a beast!!!! He is who Trae Young is today. He wasn’t Iverson. If you watch Trae Young, then that’s who Dana was. He couldn’t pass better than Young but he would pull up and get to the lane easily line Barros. I grew up watching him and all the others
Loved Dana since he came in the league, one of my favorite to use in Bulle v Blazers. Then a breakout season with a bad Philly team, hometown Cs sign him to a big deal....then never run the offense through him. Brilliant ML Carr era 🤡🤡🤡
Have you covered all the early 90s draft busts like JR Reid and Rumeal Robinson? Even the talented guys in those drafts were crippled by playing with low energy like Derrick Coleman and Pervis Ellison. Also do Benoit Benjamin. That dude couldn't have cared less despite being gifted.
The other 3D, was definitely nice. Like you mentioned JC.. just came to the league a little bit too prematurely, before the revolution of the combo guard era.
I'm.from Hampton roads VA, like Iverson,proud of his excellent achievement as a NBA player ,but the notion of there will never be another is false ,he's had players who have literally perfected copying his game like Kobe did Jordan in the league ever since his retirement . Wilt had Shaq , Oscar had Magic ,it's standard tradition ,the impressionable youth bring synchronized into emulating players they percieve as great , especially if they possess the physical dimension of those celebrated players . Iverson has seen his game transcended with generation of shorter smaller in stature ballers for eons ,John Morant ,Russell Westbrook,etc .
