Considering his his uh height and age how impressive is wm’s bag to you it’s crazy it’s crazy for him to come in the league even just be that skilled but then also like he like nutmeg somebody right like game or something like that oh nutmeg yeah nutmeg guys I
Mean like you said he on that was HOV lane or whatever but yeah who knows I mean maybe he’s the next goat I feel like look it was like Jordan and the next year was Braun right or Kobe overlapped him then Braun came maybe it’s I don’t know he looks incredible
Yeah if he can stay healthy right that’s all you know I guess when when you’re talking about like greats it’s it’s it’s Health you know that’s the biggest and with him you got to think his parents you know that they taught him stretching at an early age right this is important so
You can see he’s very flexible for you know for being so tall so he you know but even with ball handling you talk about imagination you got to have [ __ ] imagination and the freedom to [ __ ] pursue that [ __ ] right so for him to go out there and hit a [ __ ] with
The Sham God like it’s fake as a Hooper like you not thinking about I’m about to hit him with the shammy until it the opportunity come you like oh sh oh no I am I am coming down do you have you have it scripted out like I’m I’m I am coming
Down why he was turning that [ __ ] over I was over 5050 I never turned I never turned the ball over doing the Sham got never but did you notice the Tennesse the defender like oh I can hit I can was turning that [ __ ] over I can h with
This with that and they won’t be have nothing for it yeah you can always tell like even AI before he did his cross he might do a baby one it you can feel out the defender and see how they are or on a different possession you can see how
He’s standing or how he reacts and he’ be like oh he’s going to go for this one next time down so I think I’m like I’m like you I’m like sometimes I think of what to do in my head and then other times let see certain bigs if you come
Off a pick and roll you know he got feet it’s like come on like like you know which ones to pick on and and like what’s funny is people don’t understand that when you’re when you’re a master at something right you’ve already dedicated yourself to how people feet move so even
Though you’re dribbling once a once someone’s feet turn a certain way you already know what move to do and I don’t think people really understand when you’re talking about the details right I can throw I can throw your a ball right now boom and then grab you’re going to
Instantly know okay he shifted this way his body this way I know where to go right so when I’m sitting here doing the move like you can see Kyrie he’s sitting there boom boom boom and all he’s doing is just waiting for one shift one mistake one mistake so he can boom oh
Got you and people don’t understand that like that’s the detail when you’re get into certain levels this is how this person gets from here so when we say yeah he’s good but he’s not he doesn’t have an IQ right and that’s where the IQ comes from when you start detailing yep someone’s footwork
On how to get past them shot shot release and that’s when you get to expert mode in real timeo in real not just sitting there I’m dissecting the game from the film but it’s like in real time can you convert that [ __ ] see the mistake and be like oh [ __ ] okay next
Time down I’m about to we got that wimy nutmeg just for uh for reference purposes and because we enjoy watching basketball highlights thr up wh watch this dud come on man that’s different this dude is wild H so talk about obviously Street boss it’s a different culture different game
But what current NBA player do you feel like would make the best street baller current NBA player best street baller let’s see like like kill it and entertain is that what you’re saying Kyrie right Kyrie or would Jamal Crawford retire so yeah we can go we can go former players
Yeah so Kyrie Kyrie cuz it was a different game too you know like in A1 some NBA players are play list and don’t do good cuz it was about isos and looking for the lob and then like back in that time a three was like like be
Silent like it was actually lame so I remember cuz I came in more Hooper first you know what I mean and I would I would play like some regular ball and sometimes I hit that three and then like just be crickets in the gym you feel like you did something wrong like we
Ain’t come to see that yeah yeah so so yeah who would turn it out the most yeah probably like probably Kyrie for sure what about like J lamelo other guys oh dang you know these younger cats that’s right johnar J for sure for sure for sure but but also
I would say though the reason it was harder too is cuz like every time down was expected to be so so it’s not it’s a little bit different it’s not the flow of the game cuz like ja can Elevate but you’re not going to do that every time
Down so it almost be like how how are you on the iso over and over and over you got you had to learn over there like y don’t have Bob like one I think he does but like if you were going to try to like like really entertain the crowd and kill
Somebody on the iso might be different right we and back then the the bar was raised to where it’s like one move wasn’t you got one move wasn’t good enough unless you going dunk on lot I remember sometimes yeah I even went like I crossed somebody or went
Between legs just one time to the buck and it it didn’t get a crazy reaction right but that’s why people want to talk about hot sauce and the illegal plays what but dude was talented like like he hit you with like a four piece or five
Piece and they’ be losing it was when they were waiting for it you know what I’m saying when they were expecting it and everybody fouling Street we could like foul I don’t know why but it always was we could foul it’s crazy Street [ __ ] foul [ __ ] all up street life is foul Jordan
P yeah I mean he did that move up he did that yeah he had doing hun moves saw that that that uh crazy actually popularized I didn’t make up that move I popularize that turn turn the back to turn boom and go back Baseline back know
He did in the game yeah the left side left side stop timley hell yeah I just saw his highlight I just saw I just retweeted his highlights other day on Twitter I never seen those highlights though Jamal timley well D I knew I knew dude was
Nice to play street ball like to get off I knew he was nice I didn’t know his highlights was come off the pick and roll and go between the legs of the the whenever I talked about him I said I said back okay back in the day when we
Played there was um we had they had full court pressing right full court pressing was a thing in the NBA like they thought they were college teams right yeah right so me my advantage was I’m just fashing everybody so your little 221 press right Jamal we’re pressing slow Bop between the legs boom
Spin move between the legs boom and we sitting there like slow he didn’t he ain’t speeding up for nothing he’s just nutmegging the whole team and it’s to the point like yo like he’s embarrassing the [ __ ] out of us over here bro like ice him ice him right
Going down and he’s just sitting there sitting there sitting there get close to the big and the big step up through between the legs lay up like you like yo why is in the NBA doing this was he was with Indiana he was the first point
Guard I seen come off a pick and roll look off the corner freeze the corner guy turn around freeze the big that’s rolling these [ __ ] froze he literally walked to the cup and laid that [ __ ] up like in slow [ __ ] motion but I remember him in Iowa state with Marcus
Fizer it was Marcus fiser and [ __ ] Jamal Tinley killing he like yo who is where where is these two [ __ ] going time timey was great that’s a lot too patience patience forward timing man confidence too like you got to understand that like with him it was
Like he was so he was so confident with the ball that he didn’t get he didn’t he didn’t think he was you know stealing it from him and he didn’t turn it over never he never turned the [ __ ] ball over Baron Davis was nice too with that bar
Davis come down every street ball [ __ ] me I played the I played at the Rucker [ __ ] you know I gave [ __ ] that’s I went overseas with them with um what was that ball tmac yeah tmac it was team T-Mac te but we were the we were the

Yo I’m glad someone gave my boy Jamal some props one of the players I use to study
Kyrie would be an amazing AND1 planer. Overpowered AF, but the handles and the aesthetics of his game are made for streetball
The professor is a street legend! dope ass dude too!!
B look high as a mf 😂

Flexibility won't help longevity and prevent injury unless he has strength throughout his full available range. If he doesn't, his flexibility will actually cause him to more likely become injured.
We talkin rn Luka would lowkey go crazy with it in street ball
Lamar Odom
So you guys had the professor on and didn't run 1's?
Kobe Bryant
Vince Carter is the best street baller I’ve seen. Love it when the NBA guys go hard in the street circuits. Vince took it personal at Rucker.
Blake griffin
B Jennings has the Jeff Teague vibe😂
Kobe
Jordan Poole on a good night
Kyrie is the love child of AND1 and Rutgers Park
White chocolate
Ignoring the obvious choices, Payton Pritchard out in Boston is what the Professor dreams he is. Not a diss, more a compliment to how great a ballhandler Prtich is that he's breaking NBA ankles instead of JuCo-dropout ankles. I feel like he'd kill in streetball,
I love how other guests from outside the nba sort of stand out but professor fits in perfectly. He's a baller and they all know it. Respect it. Totally belongs.
Professor is a clown. He's on YouTube crossing over tourists at Venice and Laguna Beach. He's a costume away from cross dressing and breaking ankles in West Hollywood. He stole all of Hot Sauce's moves, which Gen Z, who adores him, has no idea of. Give me Skip, Hot Sauce and AO over this nerd any day 🏀
Pistol Pete would have destroyed
Nate robinson in streey hoops would have been fire. That dude was pure entertainment. The dunks the blocks the hustle the dribbles
It's two names we all forget who has them moves and handles that would clearly be then guys also that's lance Stevenson and tyreke Evens
cant believe people really out here almost forgetting kobe.. 🤦🏾♂️
I SAID NO LIGHTS!😂😂
Baron Davis
Rod Strickland
