Glen Rice began with an incredible college basketball career at the University of Michigan leading the team to the first and only NCAA Championship in program history. After this, he would be drafted 4th overall, by the Miami Heat in their second year of existence where he would be the first star in team history leading them to their first playoff appearances and winning season alongside guys like Rony Seikaly and Steve Smith. After the 1995 season, Pat Riley took over in Miami and his first move was a blockbuster trade that sent Rice to the Charlotte Hornets for Alonzo Mourning.
In Charlotte, Rice would have the best years of his career alongside guys like Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason and Vlade Divac, where in his three years, he would get 3 consecutive all star selections, and NBA all star game MVP, and two playoff appearances, while finishing 3rd in the league in scoring in 1997. During the lockour season in 1999, Rice would be involved in another blockbuster trade, when he was shipped to the powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers for Eddie Jones, where he would be paired with Shaquille O’neal and Kobe Bryant. And it would work as he helped bring a championship to the Lakers in 2000. The rest of Rice’s career saw him bounce around from the Knicks, to the Rockets, to the Clippers before calling it quits in 2004.
Rice would retire from the league as a top 5 3 point shooter of all time and finish his career with the 8th most points scored in the 90s, his game was ahead of his time and with some of the players getting inducted to the hall of fame, Glen Rice is someone who seems like they have the resume for such an honour, but only time will tell for G-Money, Glen Rice.

G-Money is an all time underrated player.
Favorite player all time
He should defintely be in HOF 💯💯
He's not a hall of famer…
they just letting anybody in the hof now so fuck it let glen in too
I feel like if he play at today’s game. He would be a similar player to James harden.
That UM team pic with the blue and maze dunks 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don’t forget Loy Vaught.!!
Should be in the hall of fame!
I’ve been a fan since you started the channel good work and rice had a pretty jumpshot I remember him being on the cover of in the zone 98. I would love to see a video on my favorite player growing up Mr H20 Allen Houston he was one of the most underrated players ever
I loved the way he was shooting the ball , not flat , the ball went hight and fallout ,nothing but net.
Great video keep it up and do one one Steve Francis
Steve Smith
Kevin Johnson
He would thrive in today's game with his three point shooting ability and would easily average 25 plus a game.
Yess, he was fun to watch
Rice should be in the hall.
If Mitch Richmond is in the HOF, then Glen Rice should be in the HOF!
He should be considered for the hall. After you look at the numbers
Sam Cassell
If Mitch Richmond who played 14 seasons in the NBA and missed the playoffs 10x then I think Glen deserves to be in the hof
Can you do peja stojakovic
Can you do Jason Richardson? He was my favorite non star player growing up.
No
Oh yes indeed. Rice was so good. And, he could transcend eras. He's the prototype wing for today's game. %100.
Yeah
Yeah he definitely deserves to be in the Hall. He was one of my favorite players growing up.
Elite defender is a term overused for certain eras. Game rules allowed for more physical play. You could literally hit and grab a guy attempting to score and nothing would be called. Your most athletic players would score all of the points. Games with 70,80,90 points weren't due to defenses, the physicality, the play in the post and the pace dragged play down. As soon as defensive 3 second rule was altered, the 5 second was enforced, hand checks eliminated and fouls were called, scoring shot up. Rice wasn't a bad defender, he just didn't goon people and got labeled that way.
Glen Rice belonged in the Hall of Fame after we found out he got head from Sarah Palin
If he had a better handle… He would of been unstoppable.
Jackson didn’t play Rice in that 4th quarter because it would have damaged Kobe’s confidence if they had won without him. Love was the present and future Phil wasn’t stupid.
Remember he was the main piece the heat sent to Charlotte for mourning
Joe Johnson and Shane Battie please
If you combine his college and NBA career, then yes, but barely.
And if so, then Antawn Jamison deserves to be in the Hall of Fame too.
Rice was nice. Both with the 🔥 and Hornets
Yes he used to destroy Scotty

Rice was a bucket back in the day.. lasers.
He is a HOFer, for sure!
