Cedric Ceballos: The NBA All Star who didn't start in high school | Forgotten Player Profiles
Спорт
Cedric Ceballos played 11 years in the NBA which were unfortunately marred by injuries, he played on some great teams including a team that made it to the NBA Finals. However, his path to the NBA was not an easy one and there were probably times where he didn't think he'd even make it. But he had a unique skillset that allowed him to fill it up on offense with his skill and athleticism, but also be someone that every team has a spot for with his incredible hustle. He made a questionable decision in the prime of his career that could be looked at as something that changed the trajectory of his career, but altogether he averaged 20 points multiple times in his career and can call himself an NBA all star, which not many else can. So, today we're going to talk about the one they called the Garbage Man, Cedric Ceballos.

Redd reminds me of another forgotten Milwaukee gem Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson
Watching CC, Eddie Jones, Van Exel and others play their guts out at The Forum was some of the best times of my young life. Thanks for the vid!!!

Cedric Ceballos was one of my favorite players to watch. I remember seeing the game in which he scored 50 for the Lakers.
Please Do a profile on Larry Grandmama Johnson, going from a superstar and all star in Charlotte to a vital role player in New York the way he adapted his game after losing his athleticism needs to be studied!!!

He's like the opposite of forgotten though. It'd be like doing a video on Derrick Coleman
One of the best offensive rebounders ever! Flow on!
Btw if you can find the time to create a vid profile on Van Exel and Eddie Jones, I’ll definitely watch and like! This is a really cool channel!!!
I was playing against some 6'6" overweight black dude at LA fitness one time. I was giving him buckets and talking mad shit. Turns out, it was an old Cedric Ceballos 😂 and his knees we're just done from all those years of PROFESSIONAL basketball lol
This dude was my favorite player growing up
Ceballos one of my favorite players with the lakers
This is a really great channel! You have excellent knowledge, while showing love and respect for the history and players and coaches. Excellent research too.

I could do Norm Nixon. From Pittsburgh. Stayed home and played for Duquesne. Drafted by the Lakers. An excellent player. He was in the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh starring Dr J. Met Debbie Allen on the set of that movie in 1978. They got married a few years later when Fame the tv series was on. They're still married today. Nixon got in a dispute with Pat Riley so Riley wanted him to play in the summer league. Norm Nixon refused so he was traded to the San Diego Clippers for Byron Scott. The End
Great vid. When going to Long Beach St., I always wished we had Ceballos. When watching Horton Tucker (when he was on the Lakers) and his moves around the basket and using the glass, he reminded me of Ceballos. I'm surprised he never averaged in double figure rebounds because in some games it seemed like he was getting that just in offensive boards.

Nice videos! Please feature Jim Jackson and Harold Miner. Thanks! Good job!
Cedric was very good player and has an all around game and always a threat against opposing team. Hope he's doing well today.
No i dont forget ceballos...i saw him playing with the suns (my favourite suns team all-time) and with the lakers (not the best lakers team but fun to watch)...nooo we dont forget your spectacular way to play basketball 🤙
Cedric Cellabos was nice. Too bad injuries ruined his career.
huge suns fan esp in the barkely years.. but even before chuck, CC came to hustle every night! he's the true epitome of hustle! we would've beaten the bulls in 93 had he been healthy to shut down MJ... he was a great defender.... much love ICE!!!!
Good vid, do one on Mookie Blaylock..
didnt need plays run for him to get his......very valuable skill
Thanks a lot, man! What about a Video about Eddie "The Eagle" Jones. EJ6 is the only player I have above Ice. Good old times!

Ceballos got hurt in game 6 of the conference finals in Seattle. A stress fracture. That's why Richard THE DOPE FIEND Dumas got all that playing time. Kevin Johnson was injured also. If Phoenix was healthy they would've beat Chicago

jason terry and kyrie irving have had average careers and didn't equal cedric ceballos
you missed all kinds of facts. Maybe tou shouldn't do this if you're only giving half truths. I was at magics first home game when he threw his fit and went to Havasu. EOD we got Horry & 3 rings. Thanks Ced. And you missed fact they were second #8 to knock out a #1

A video that nobody has even thought about doing is a what if. For instance what if the bulls replaced Jordan with a jim jasckson, Richmond or Cedric. Honesty I don't think the bulls would've suffered and would've continued to win titles
