clocking in at an hour, I can only guess this was created by Troy himself. this is great for some of us around here who weren't old enough to have the pleasure of watching him play. thanks for the post.
I like BC basketball.

I noticed these a couple months ago as well and my first thought was also that this was done either by Troy or a member of his family. There's other (shorter) ones by the same youtube uploader, including a Ryan Sidney one.

Sometimes you forget how good Bell was. I like the older school uniforms in the first few clips of the St. John's game too.

it's too bad he couldn't catch on to a journeyman career like eisley did. i feel bell was MUCh better than howard but eisley cobbled together a 12ish year career

This... TBell's knees failed him and he had to resort to boxing and R&B singing. Again... those Skinner teams were awesome.

This is what got me. Years on i remember mostly the shooting, but he could do everything.

I'm not sure what position Bell could have played in the NBA. Guy was more of a scorer than a pure shooter (like Barros) and I am not sure he had the PG skills. Then again, I wasn't certain Reggie would make it (although he is bigger, more athletic and the game is different).

Watching the tape, his game looked a lot like what Steph Curry was doing at Davidson though Troy was 3 inches shorter

Exactly. Game has changed a bit too.

I think the proper response is that TBell was an excellent basketball player who didn't succeed at the next level because the NBA doesn't play basketball.

coupled with knees. it's really a shame things didn't work out as planned for him, especially given how great of a kid he was.

This. Although, his game would have translated to the NBA anyway if he had been taller.
