In Rod we trust.
Hot Rod Strickland had the sickest handles. DePaul University legend, when it was a quality basketball program. He’s one of the NYC point guards in the NYC point guard documentary.
Mark Jackson and Rod Strickland on the same Knicks team at the same time was incredibly entertaining.
this is impossible, how could a borderline allstar from the 90s be skilled?? Have I been lied to?
It’s such a weird meme at this point
Because the 90s point guards definitely had skills. Insane handles. Great vision.
And shooting…well…they had other skills
There were still plenty of elite shooters though? stockton and mark price and terry porter and abdul-rauf, plenty more lesser guys too.
i’m mostly just poking fun at this idea that people didn’t know how to shoot a basketball (and had no skills) 30 years ago
I know
I just meant that back then the guys with the top top tier handles couldn’t shoot, and there were a lot of them
Did he and MJ play together for the Wizards?
No
Great great handles. One of those guys that does not get mentioned enough but when he does people gush.
Guaranteed to make 'em jump like Rod Strickland
I have always loved this player.
One of those dudes that largely gets forgotten today but if you saw him you know how sick he was.
Kyrie gawfather
mid 90s wizards/bullets had a starting lineup that could match the '23-'24 spurs in size:
6’3" strickland
6’7" calbert cheaney
6’9" juwan howard
6’10" c-webb,
7’7" georghe muresan0 spacing though, common in 90s teams
We need Bol Bol, Jonathan Issac, Ben Simmons, Lauri markkananan
Up there with Mike Bibby as one of the best players to have never been an All-Star.
I’m still baffled how he could possibly get snubbed so hard in 97/98 when he was All-NBA second team on 18/5/10.5 and still couldn’t make All-Star
You can see alot of Rod’s game in his godson Kyrie.
Rod Strickland is your favorite point guard’s favorite point guard’s favorite point guard.
I loved that Strickland/Howard/Webber Bullets squad.
Kyrie Irving’s god father
