The Nets had a young up and coming team with DC, Kenny, and Petro. As a Knick fan, I honestly thought they were the future team of NY/NJ area. Then few years later, they were all gone, with Coach Daley retiring, Petro killed in a car accident, and both DC and Kenny being traded. I always wondered about what could have been with this team had they all stayed together. One of the greatest what if's of the 90s.

Thank you for a very insightful and respectful piece on King Kenny. Growing up in his era, there was no internet, you tube videos and other social media hype machines that make a player that can dunk the second coming of Jordan. Back then, you had to be nice. Word of mouth was everything, and the whole world knew of Kenny Anderson. When me and my middle school friends get together and play domino’s and talk talk everything sports, his name as a bust and clown always comes up. Very few know of the inner demons he fought daily and continues to do so. We’d all love to relive our youth, knowing what we know today. But you live the life you’re given. Kenny has a good heart, always has. My salute to the real King of New York.

Actually, Kenny wanted to attend Georgetown since his Sophomore year. Kenny used to wear a Gtown cap at school. However, Coach Thompson would send an assistant to see him instead of going in person which Kenny was turned off!! Kenny even said, if Thompson came to see him, he would have easily committed there. Kenny, Mourning and Mutombo would have won a Championship together.

I appreciate this joint JC, My dad told me he used to bet on the street games back in the day Kenny Anderson was the guy back then. He gave me the whole rundown of his story, it really stuck with me on his childhood and shows me how delicate youth can be. He gave Bobby Hurley and Duke dat WORK. And with a bit more patience would be and ATG. I’m proud of how far he’s come from what he faced. Salute to Kenny

He was a great player and I followed him his entire career!!!

I went from collecting NY Post clippings of Kenny to playing against him once at Molley. He was by far the best player I’d ever played against. Fast forward several years and he was at a club I was working security for with about 20 people. You’re right about him taking care of his people which can suck you dry real quick. I was so surprised though that he didn’t light up the league because he had so much promise. But overall, he’s a really good dude. I hope he pulls through also. Great piece!

Stunted you a bad man for this one. I'm only in my early 30s but I remember the Kenny and big Derrick nets from elementary school. He was cold. And a lefty. My coach used to say being a lefty makes your game so much more versatile.

Kenny is doing very well in life. He has a great relationship with most of his children, especially his youngest Kenny Jr, and his step daughter whom he and his long time Natasha raised. He owns houses in Doral Fl and Nashville Tennessee where he has been the head men's basketball coach at Fisk University the last 4 years. He had a stroke about 3 years ago and has made an excellent recovery. Kenny is living his best life as a family man and coach. My guy KA aka Chibbs is doing just fine. He's overcome many obstacles is life and continues his personal and professional growth. The story is still being written.

Other than Isiah Thomas, no other PG has ever been as naturally gifted. But he didn't appear to work on his game much, if at all, and it began to show in the pros. Inimitable as a player (often goes against his body's natural inertia on drives and forays to the hoop), he also wasn't physically suited to be a top guard without putting in the time to train and get stronger. Amazing he finishes as one of THE Greatest HS players in any sport, and one of THE BEST college players ever, based mainly off his natural gifts and seasoned aptitude for the game. SALUTE!

One of my favorite PGs, thanks for this one Bro! I was at the Capital Classic McDonald's All American game when he went up against a DMV legend that gave him buckets that night! Curt Smith! Look at his story as well my Brother! Let's get it!

so well done...perfect music, narrated well....great content...much respect

Watching that broke my heart. I loved Kenny's game back in the day. Much love my brother!

Another masterpiece. Him and his teammate in Jersey Derrick Coleman could have become a modern version of Stockton and Malone if they had the work ethic and maturity and minus the things that Kenny went through growing up.

You a real one bro, you don’t tear down your Israelite brothas you just report what happened. You drop life gems too, nuff respect ✊🏾

Kenny Anderson aka Chibbs ( nick name) I think he lived up to his expectations he made it too the league and balled on a elite level in college and in the league. I think coach not having coach Chuck Daly in NJ any longer was the first step towards his stunted growth. Fun fact when Michael Jordan retired the first time the following season Kenny made the all star team and got the most all star votes that year..I agree he loved his hood and friends and off the court distractions played a large part in his career turning out how it did. The playing for alot of teams if the talent was not there they would not have traded for him and some of those situstions you have to look at who the coach was and who he had to play with. if you playing with teammates that feel they are the main man or should be the main man that hinders you, if your play style is one way but the coach has a style he wants played but its not to your strength that can hinder you as a player also. then add the off the court things he was into... I have always been a fan of kenny Anderson those handles and passing skills along with the nack to get to the basket was nice. if he played in the modern era he would be one of the best no doubt.. salute to Mr Chibbs hopefully his journey in life continues to go upward

This was Very Informative, I Didn't know he had issues with abuse before the NBA. R.i.p. his mother.

You’re right tho, when you get traded so many times, you lose some of what’s special about you and gain that journeyman title
