The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad’s recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it’s rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

  1. Dude shot 35% from the field…. He wasn't on ish 😂 I can give you linsanity too lol dominance 😂😂 he was getting boards because he was missing 65% of his shots 😂

  2. As a brother with brain damage I must say this was lovely to watch
    The world would be a better place if everyone had a Mr. Twyman in their corner

  3. They would love for us to think all wh*te people are the same but it is not true at all. Don't listen to people make your own judgment 😍 I love this story.

  4. Started as a Cosgrove vid, so I had a little bad feeling of this at the beginning. But what a nice and heartwarming video! Nice job Jonny!

  5. Thank you for telling this story which I am sure many of us have not heard about before. The music was also chosen very well :).

  6. Now that's a movie… something that highlights the beautiful friendships that happen, that don't get talked about because it connects us instead of dividing us. Beautifully touching & inspiring story of treating others how you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes. ❤❤❤

  7. You should make a video on Luke Witte and the brawl between OSU and Minnesota that ruined his NBA career. I haven’t seen anyone cover this online even though it was a fascinating story.

  8. This story reminds me a lot of Joachim Deckarm, the german handball player who similarly fell on his head in 1979 and spend the next nearly 4 months in a coma and remained heavily physically handicapped. I assume the courts in the US were similarly made out of concrete with just a thin PVC layer on top?

  9. Jeeeez man I’m full on weeping. What a beautiful story. Thank you Jonny and the game of basketball for always surprising me.

  10. Great video as always. I remember reading about this story when I was in elementary school which is how I knew about it. There is also the Twyman/Stokes Award going to the best teammate in the league. There is also a great movie about this Stokes and Twyman friendship called Maurie starring the late great Bernie Casey and Bo Svenson.
