Guy has a great handle Very similar style of play to how Jason Williams did. He has a bunch of pretty entertaining videos on YouTube. Here’s one but y’all can search out the rest

I enjoy watching him make fools of a lot of trash talkers. He is amazingly skilled.

Grayson Boucher was super-fun to watch, and he was the token on the modern-day Harlem Globetrotters equivalent. Definitely a sideshow... but his handle was so superlative that it makes you wonder. Rafer Alston is the only control variable I can think of - he went from playground to running an NBA offense. But Grayson didn't even get through college... not sure why. I've seen recent videos - he has a mild instagram following or whatever i guess... but he's still super-quick and lean. I guess no invites from Ice Cube's all-black "3-on-3" pickup league, lolol.

I always liked watching him as well. He has an amazing ability to finish drives to the hoop over tall players with a side type of hookshot that he releases at about his chest.

I’d say he has more than a mild following as he has nearly 6 million subscribers on YouTube with good engagement. He puts out videos of himself embarrassing people in pickup games consistently. He’s pushing 40 I think but he’s still really good.

He’s talked about why he never tried to make it in the NBA. He said he chose to go the professional street ball route instead of kicking around the fringes of a roster or the developmental league. Can’t say he made the wrong decision. He’s made millions and is more famous than he would have been getting jerked around in the NBA. Any court he shows up, everyone knows and loves him. That’s worth something….

Yeah I've always loved watching him put on a dribbling clinic. He is a magician with the basketball.

not surprisingly, “the Professor” was a better run-jump athlete than he was given credit for, as well as being a flashy street baller. there are videos of him dunking the ball when he was younger and before he blew his knee, which is pretty impressive for a guy of his stature.

Did not know that was his scope... can be very good money these days. With the new NIL money these college kids are reporting, I'm sure he can pull a steady, modest income flow rather than trying to cash in and burn out. I do like those recent clips I've seen of him wrecking the occasional black kid who tries to play him in Timberland boots. Almost seems like a hoax, but what media producer in history has ever hoaxed a white guy schooling black guys at their game?

I think the reason he never chose to go the NBA route was because he was only like 5'10 or something like that. He found a niche for himself with the whole streetball thing and made a ton of money. I like seeing guys ending up with great careers which niche oriented type stuff.

here’s a terrific video from a few months ago that highlights not only the Professor’s skills but also the extreme conceit of your average negro ...

I could watch these clips all day long. The only problem is if the cameras weren't there we know it would be a fight. How dare beat a brother at what they consider
to be their game. Whites invented basketball but they still think they own the game and no white boy can ever compete!
