What Happened to the High-Scoring Houston Rockets Lefty BEFORE James Harden? | FPP
Cuttino Mobley was one half of an exciting Houston Rockets backcourt in the early 2000s, alongside Steve Francis. A late bloomer at Rhode Island, Mobley led the Rams to their first Elite 8 in program history before being taken in the 2nd round by the Rockets. Initially playing alongside Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and Scottie Pippen, before transitioning into a focal point of their game plan alongside Francis and Yao Ming. But then he was included in the Tracy McGrady trade, and eventually found himself with the LA Clippers alongside Elton Brand and Sam Cassell, helping lead the team to their first playoff series victory in 30 years. But shortly afterwards, a trade to New York would lead to the discovery of a heart condition which forced his retirement. Yet in later years, Mobley would receive a second opinion saying he did not have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and his retirement was forced for salary cap reasons. Yet ven though he never returned to the NBA, he carved out a great second career in Ice Cube’s BIG3 League.

Imma tell my kids this was James Harden 🗣️🔥
Every episode always great content and a mini history lesson
Cuttino my boyyyy 🐱🔥
He looks about 80 now
Low-key I was waiting for this one so will Steve Francis get one then
That’s my guy! Smooth off and on the court. He was doing the tunnel walk fits long before it became the normal. 21.7 ppg in 01-02.
Cuttino Mobley was smooth and got buckets with ease very underrated cool guy in real life met him at a mall in Houston years ago friendly to everybody
Cat Mobley kinda got overlooked by all the great shooting guards in that era. We need a Rudy Gay vid too
Cuttino was fun to watch.

Cat was always fun to watch. I also would love to see a Rudy Gay video. Thanks for all the great videos. 👍 ✌️
Cat was that Guy frfr… A player you can Trust with a Sweet Lefty Trigger Stroke!!!…💯
Although Cuttino Mobley had a very good productive career in playing well in the NBA, according to the title theme of this forgotten video, how was Mobley Misdiagnosed? Did he have a diagnosis?
Channel is pure GOLD. Detailed and informative like a NBA 80's, 90's and 00's tutorial
can we ever get a vid on kelly tripuka?, or did u make one?
Those Rhode Island teams were fun to watch back in the day.
Also, loved Kenny Thomas in college. Haven't heard that name in forever
come on, Bob Lanier deserves a video more than Cuttino Mobley.
the only thing memorable about him is he has the same walk as Steve Francis
I watched nba like a hawk from 1996-2017. Last 8-9 years nba has changed, and Mobley was great always used to use him in basketball games as a youngster
Him & Tyson Wheeler were a great backcourt duo at Rhode Island
Can you do a video on LaMarcus Aldridge soon?
If Mobley was 6'8" he would be an all-time great
Cuttino can still ball today!
If he played in modern times he’d be at least a top 5 SG only behind SGA, Edwards
