Kyrie always talks out of both sides of his mouth.

Professor speaking logical Facts, I caught this video ASAP before it goes viral.

Street ball is the essence. Referees, coaches and drunk fans only slow the game down. No hack a shack on the black top. Truly only playing for the love. The game at its purest. Think back to those games you played as a kid, building lifelong friendships and staying out till dark not caring you gon' be in trouble with moms. The world only thinks they know the greatest rapper of all time, the fastest running back ever, the best dunker who ever lived... For every kid who defys poverty to make it in the professional world, there's a hundred you never heard of. A thousand you'll never read about. Just ask the players themselves. Every one got a story about the kid from their neighborhood who was 10 times better than they were but never made it. That's why the inspiration was coming from and1. That's were the freedom and the creativity was. And the joy and the love. Just look what it did to that scrawny kid from outside of Portland. Turned him into the Professor

Most of these ballers competed in pro leagues before or after their And1 tenure. Like The Professor said, they were talented players, but something was holding them back (work ethics, passion, injuries, etc.) Lonnie Harrell played three solid years in the G-League (12.3 PPG), Aaron Owens (11.6 PPG), Rafer Alston hang with the men in the show... They could play. But, to put things in perspective, Darius Johnson-Odom averaged 22.1 PPG in the G-League! The Professor played in the CBA (4.5 PPG), Philip "Hot Sauce" Champion competed three years in the ABA. They could play!

Great video and debate. Good to see some of the original And1 players. More of this please.

Professor, I think you said it well... you guys proved that you could play against NBA players by actually doing so. I believe that Half Man's challenge wasn't responded to by NBA players because they were perhaps afraid... nothing to gain and everything to lose in regards to reputation. And Half Man also had a good point regarding IS, BD, and their injuries... awesome video.

It is just so much a part of my young years, I feel like you guys are super heros

Yo!!! You gotta do an hour long podcast with each one of these cats! Thanks for bringing on some of the guys I tried so hard to emulate!

Just looking at these great And1 ballers in one video made my day and reminded me of the days where the only thing that I could think of was going out to play basketball. I am from Mexico City and back in the day I really struggled to get some of their Mix tapes, but once I had them I broke a lot of things in my house while trying to mimic their moves. For me they are at the same level as NBA players, because at the end of the day we are talking about putting on a show and And1 Mixtapes where more entertainig

Great video. And shout out to the Legend Escalade, RIP.

Impressive game cabinet collection professor!

Watching And 1 back in the day was like a drug that just made life better. The positive impact to young kids was immeasurable.

Right on.

The NBA had its own analysis of the competition. They didn't like seeing the soon-to-be loss of fans going to see A1. They knew the level of talent coming from A1 was too good they didn't want to lose props. They hired a few guys from A1 to play in the NBA. They saw the future close up by doing this so they devised a plan to break up A1.

Nice video keep them coming

Need more interview kind of videos from you Gray! Loved this! Good to see the guys too! Tough debate. Ultimately I agree the public opinion is too wide. Great take! All love my guy!

I was little when and 1 was out had all the games never missed a episode this would’ve been epic to see I’m 29 now time flies yall put on and rip to Escalade and flash and whoever ealse passed from that squad I would’ve loved to see y’all go up against my fav player lebron to and rip kobe

one of the most fun things to do if you've watched the professor for a long time is to try to recreate him in 2k and emulate the handles (obviously some of those streetball moves aren't possible) you get some of the cleanest gameplay and highlights without needing to create a "BROKEN!!!1!!!1" MyPlayer

Professor, I would love to see you interview the guys from And1, where are they now and reminisce about And1 & dissect old video. Would get millions of views.

😂 "Some players actually got served" Professor serving D. Armstrong 😂😂😂😂

Thanks for this episode. Inspiring content. A good comparison of the two styles of basketball. In my humble opinion, you would do well in nba .

I would love to hear Skip to my Lou’s opinion about it

“i had 40 at halftime “ lol

The best players on AND1 all played college ball and none of them were good college players. The NBA will take anyone that is good enough. Thats why Skip made the NBA and the rest of AND1 did not

would've been interesting to see the same type of interview you did with the AND1 guys but with a selection of NBA guys instead. Better for direct comparison as well.

Legends!

I would have enjoyed seeing the And 1 players vs NBA players. That would be have been a gas.

The people that say And1 players don't match NBA players are either bad at the game or have never played the game officially. And1 players had insane ball handling, good positioning and in general were amazing play makers.

They don't match NBA players. ALL OF THEM tried making it pro first before going the streetball rout as a back up. You do know most played pro or semi pro ball at some point right? Professor was the worst player on his community college team and the worst player o his CBA team. You act like they only ever played streetball. They are great players, but the NBA is a whole different level. If Professor could hardly hang on his division 3 basketabll team or his CBA team, what makes you think he could hang in the NBA? Have you not seen season 2 or AND1 when Skip came back and played against AND1 and completely wrecked the whole team?

Kobe would’ve praised all of them not act like he’s better than everyone else

AO! I wonder where he was for the Netflix doc? It's good to see him

There was one player that was a street baller and a NBA player and that was Skip 2 My Lou. Alimoe could have possibly played in the NBA. He wasn’t in the right mindset as he was offered a scholarship by coach Tark but he cashed the plane ticket in for money. May he rest in peace.

i think that the and1 players have a very high level of skillz for sure, even if some of their moves are not "legal", what they are able to do on a basketball court is just insane !!! Saying that they have no chance against NBA player is a non sense to me, maybe they don't have the same kind of training on a physical standpoint, but i am sure that they could handle it. In the end, both of thoses players gave us a lot of good moments and it's still fun to watch them play, so let's share some love about the art of Basketball, no matter if it's streetball or "official" basketball game, let's enjoy the game and have some fun 🤗 One Love ❤

Great vid! I liked hearing you talk🏀 My opinion (and you said it in a older vid) - many of the street ballers are super talented, but bent the rules for entertainment.

Bruh, I played at my gym a few weeks ago and I had a random dude on my team about the professors height drain about 30 three points shots missing maybe one. I watch the best shooter I’ve ever witnessed and played on his team. Needless to say I watched the best 3 point shooter I’ve ever witnessed on or off tv and he’ll never get a shot bc he’s not nba material. He looked like a short white middle aged dad.

I think it just depends on the player Also every player has talents on what they are good at yk. I also feel like NBA players and street ballers should respect each other's game yk. Like ya'll both play the sport and if a NBA player loses or a street baller loses it is like okay respect for the other player for winning, Yk what I saying. I truly believe the NBA should give street ballers a chance not only to get into the NBA but, to prove themselves. That is my opinion . ... U the man Professor live 🤘🏼🔥. Shout-out to NBA players and street ballers yall do u .

Most of the And1 players were at high level performance!! They could keep up with the NBA players, definitely the G league

Nostalgic

RIP "Escalade" We'll miss him

Street ball Legends make the world fall in love with basketball 🏀🏀🏀🏀❤❤❤

My 2 takeaways. NBA players were afraid of the blacktop because of getting shirtted. Don’t leave before a hurricane hits or you could miss your one chance to have a scout watch you catch a dunk lob. Some of these AND1 ballers are delusional. I enjoyed the mixtape days for what it was. We all know why these guys had no chance. I mean even I had to realize that my pumps weren’t gonna get me scholarship.

The truth, the NBA League Suits(Commission Board) was very afraid of that challenge. And1 was a fast paced, rising competitive brand against their BBall monopoly, and they probably wanted them to disappear. To agree to a challenge, would put the whole NBA as a brand at high risk, not just if their team lost, but the fact that they’d consider And1 as a brand, their equal. Damn right, their NBA “paid to play,” athletes didn’t want to acknowledge these low budget, “free ballers” the time of day & their commission and board of team owners surely didn’t want the “uncivilized” street way of BBall tainting their supposed “White Collar,” image.

This is a tough conversation and things that it mainly depends on is the officiating and the rules which because the problem is Streetball has some illegal moves and some that are technicals and then we have the issue of flopping. If we put Streetballers against the entire NBA, all eras of it mixed together, NBA claps for sure, they teach Bill Russell modern defence. Oh lord, that’s going to hella hard to get pass. James Harden with his flopping. Steph with his shooting. Jokic, Jimmy Butler, Kobe, MJ, Larry, etc. And keep in mind, the refs are going to call in favour of the stars most of the time, which is going to make it extremely hard for Streetballers to win. However, if we split the NBA up, decades by decades, then Streetballers win, assuming we have a ref that isn’t biased to the stars during the game. Another thing you have to consider is that NBA players have Olympic level experience, which is going to be hard for Streetballers to get passed. A thing I see people mentioning is that the NBA started with Streetball, completely irrelevant. We’re talking in a terms of a basketball match, not in terms of who’s the most iconic or who’s the favourite. It depends on a lot of factors and there’s isn’t any true winner of this without those conditions and factors of a perfect ref, all of the guys having good days, none of them sick or dead or tired, all of them at their absolute best in their prime, their coaches being at their best. Both organizations and everyone at their best, this, that, etc.

Get hot sauce on here bro please!

Hot sauce had the craziest moment i forget who told the story but dude dropped some nba player on a whim saying "U play defense as pro, but i do this as a hobby"

when are you coming to denver to give a basketball game?

Esto deberia suceder en honor al JUEGO no por ver quien es mejor !

I do not know basketball at all. However I played triple A ball as a catcher. Ended my career by getting my knee folded back and hip dislocated. Two years removed from that I was playing adult league baseball. There was a guy who never made it to college let alone the minors playing on a team against us. He knew I was a former minor leaguer and talked made trash about testing my arm. Now my knee and hip was never the same but my arm was still elite. I could still get a 1.81 throw down post injury so I wasn’t scared of all dude trying to steal on me. Well long story short he got walked and de la Cruz’d his ass all the way home stealing every bag along the way. Best damn athlete I ever played against and he never played one day of ball in college or the minors. So I say all that to say these guys probably had the talent to play in the NBA at one time. They probably lacked the drive/work ethic more than the talent. So I’ve always thought the And 1 guys could hold a candle to the league guys but again not my sport I don’t know.

The truth is you got to be a street baller in order to be a NBA PLAYER. For NBA players to downplay STREET BALLERS, is pure IGNORANCE. Its most like a GOVERNMENT CONTRACT THING.

I believe given the vastly different skill sets and unconventional basketball style that and one would've held their own.

I've never even heard of that player named, "Iman". I've heard of almost all the And1 guys. Professor played G league himself if I'm not mistaken and lit it up.
