4'11 Chase Adams has Better Handles Than You! Top Chicago 7th Grader Official Ballislife Mixtape.

- When asked about his size, Chase Adams said "the height stuff doesn't mean anything."
Chase Adams (12 years old in the video) had as big a 7th grade season at Chicago's Ariel Elementary Community Academy (Public school) as any player in the city.
As a 7th grader, Adams led Ariel's 8th grade team (not previously known for its basketball team) to a 56-3 record in Chicago's Public League alongside fellow star Marquise "Kezo" Brown. No stats were kept at Ariel, but Chase seemed close to a double double (points/assists) whenever we were watching. Now, as an 8th grader, Adams and Brown will be looking to win the City 8th grade Championship.
Currently 5 feet tall (at the start of 8th grade), weighing about 100 pounds, Adams is the quickest guard in Chicago and is widely considered one of the nation's top players in the Class of 2018. Some young players might be surprised to learn Chase's all-time favorite player is Bob Cousy (Boston Celtics 1950-63). Also, modeling his game after his favorite current point guards Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo, Adams is poised for success. Not only does Adams model his game after the NBA's top young PG's, he draws inspiration from the way they continue to prove their doubters wrong.
Here are some Chase Adams basketball highlights from Chicago public school Ariel Elementary Community Academy's 2012-2013 season as well as from the Mac Irvin Fire 13U AAU team. Thanks to the players and coaches at Ariel and with the Mac Irvin Fire!

Bruh this video just brought back middle school hoop days... how much i miss the hooping life.
Same
I am in middle school right now and it’s really that fun
@@AdAm-sp4ty enjoy it now your gonna miss it in a few years 😢…I’m a sophomore now

Man for real. I used to go and hoop every day from 10 up until about 19-20. Fall workouts at school, winter season, Spring Playoffs/start of AAU, then AAU all summer and back to Fall workouts. That was life for me from 4th grade up until my Junior year. Kinda fell outta love with the game my Senior year from burnout but I was back in it at 19. Then work and college fully took over. Every time the weather is good I go and pull my old rim out at my parents house and put up some shots like old times but I haven't ran 5s in forever. I need to get back to my roots for real.
I used to spend hours watching random Ballislife, Hoopmixtape mixes. Trying to add new moves to my bag and shit. .Good times.
Ballislife: 4'11 Chase Adams has Better Handles Than You!
Kyrie Irving: Hold my beer.

I remember watching this before games back in like 3rd grade 😭
You should see where you ended up
Bro same, the good days
BROOO SAME I miss 3rd grade

It's not just the handles. He's obiously got great vision and high basketball IQ. He knows when to pass, when to dribble and when to shoot. The future looks bright for this young man.
Well said
Blaugrana92 and how can you tell all that from a mixtape?
How2BeANoob Well, I am fortunate to own two of these fancy things called eyes. They come in real handy from time to time, as they enable me to observe and watch things.
LMFAO!! x5282920202
Ok, NBA scout
One of the best ballislife mixtape who agrees 👍
Man, these mixtapes were a great part of my childhood
I used to watch this everyday when I was in like 3rd grade
Same grade and all
Ballislife titles be like
3 foot 2 joe schmo has crazy handles!!! Best 5 year old in the nation!!!
Lol
እትዱፕይሙዝቃ
no the voy doesnt my 4 year old cousin does he banked a half
1'1" Burgah Mack best 200 year old IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!! Better 3 points than you!!
+Darrick King you dont know what you are talking about
I'm 1 year old and 1 feet tall.The doctor said that I will be 12feet tall when I am 12 year old.I can't wait to be 60year old doe.
Jeremy Lin #EnterTheSwarm That's not possible, your body can't support that weight. You'd literally just fall apart.
That's why.The doctor is persuading me to have a surgery to cut my legs off.I am gonna cut it off once I reach a height where without my legs I am 10feet.
ROFL
Lol how can u talk like this at 1 that's weird😐😐
R u a future baby???
What year r u in now???
Jeremy Lin lmao
This was the exact video that made me wanna sign up for basketball in the 3rd grade 😭made realize how fun the game was , it’s good to know these hoopmixtapes were in my childhood
I remember this vid like hell😭..... had to come back and watch it😪
To all the people who are saying "oh I'm better than him, oh I can block him, he really has no talent", just shut up! This kid has a gift, the vision, the quickness and the range he has is unbelievable! The way he can play like this when he 4 foot 11 is crazy, I would like to see you do that! I hope this kid can keep doing better and don't listen to all the haters that want to keep you down.
+MrCowboys1235 I can lol im not hating but when I was his height I could do most of the things he was doing
until i see a video of that, then come talk with me.
i dont need a video this video is proof enough anyone can do what he does pretty much
+MrCowboys1235 there is a video dumbass look up Jordan McCabe
+Laszlo Stewart plus the people he is playing against are jokes
4’11 kid: Eveyrone my handles are the best no one could ever beat me
Allen Iverson: Hold my headband
Wait is 5’3 good for 12 years old?
Toad with Lime dime shep yes it is its half a foot (6 inches) taller than average
UglyboiAndrew ok thank you for answering my question 👍🏼
Mr Rush thank you for the answer👍🏼
@@SuperRocket64 it’s not it’s like an inch above avg bc including a standard deviation 12 yr olds are between 4’10 and 5’2
I watched this video before but who else is watching this in 2019 in November
Me
Seen this many times now chase is cold.
A’Ron mmm,l
HjA
Lhgqz
Lol back in November 2019 y’all didn’t even know about the Coronavirus 😂😂 lol imagine
April 2020
This song is “iconic”ballislife needs more music like this.🙂🙂
Do you know what’s this beat is called
Yeah fr someone gotta tell me
Daily Grinds best times flawless tracks
Zullex best times flawless tracks
Eric Battle appreciate you brodie, I been watching this since I was a jit
Why is everyone hating its amaxing for a 12 yr to have his own balluslife compared to the other highschool talent out there you guys should really hope he fufills his dreams
I remember when these videos were so popular
you know only real players know how good a person plays. the people saying he sucks they're not real players they suck. this kid is better than me and I don't say he is trash
what up Stephen Curry
+DatSniperThief no its dumbfuck he obviously can't tell the difference by real and fake
yea facker
hi stephen curry u r so awesome.sorry if i am wierd
toi bon jouer
2:31 "aye, you tried to cross me but its not gonna work"
"bruh you can foul all u want, i'm gonna convert" is what i saw.
“Tried to block me”
Not if Kyree Irving is watching
jesse Ramirez I was thinking the.same shit
He would still be better because there is no Kyree Irving there is only the goat Kyrie Irving
“Kyrie Irving”nice spelling”
Nigga you spelled Kyrie wrong 👉
chechavez che kryie*
This kid is real special. His Ball IQ is incredible. He knows what to he's doing
id hate to be on his team getting unexpected passes haha
His teammates are probably constantly ready for an out of the ordinary pass XD
Jacob Tidwell
Hey talk about a little ball hog plus I play better
That's a good thing lol
XITheFallenSniperIX Well if your a 7th grader that plays more football than basketball (he pretty much just runs with the ball)
I'm sure that a pass that is regular is still a suprise
my dad used to make me watch this before every game when i was a kid i still do it now
I love black people.
Lol
Back in middle school when I was hooping I would watch this video so much 😭
And plus the music hard to me, that’s mainly why I kept watching it
I love that he's looking for somebody else before he decides whether or not to take the shot. His court vision is only gonna get better as he gets older.
Damn I use to watch this all the time in in middle school now I’m about to graduate from college time flies mann…
On god. Same story
Dude got skills, but 4"11 in the 7th grade. Its going to be a battle for him to go all the way. If he plans on taking it that far.
Not necessarily. It all really just depends on his father and his height.
True. Most people stop growing at about 19-21.
I was 4'11 in the 7th now im in the 8th and im 5'7
@@shilohdougie Go check out Chase Adams Fan Page on Instagram ➡️ @chaseadams_fans!
Hope he gets taller, because height does mean a lot. Not everyone is husky muscle like Nate or has the shooting ability like Barea and Thomas. Case in point BallisLife's last shorter superstar Aquille Carr who may have been top 10 in the country.
Heart Over Height, You put in the time and the effort and if u have the willpower to make it happen, It can be done. Even if u are at a height disadvantage.
***** tear drops...
Dude, his height dont mean nothing. Look at Mugsy Bouges, he was the shortest NBA player but could play one heck of a game. And he could shoot, so he can make a great point guard one day. He'll have a good future if he can keep this up.
DualGamers what about roy hibbert man that guy is 7'2 but he is slow
Kristian Moran Yeah sure Roy Hibbert is slow, I'll have to admit. But that is him, this kid is fast, and he's fast at a young age. He has to maintain his athleticism.
Just an update Chase adams is now going into his second year of college playing for the Portland Pilots which is division 1 and is averaging 7 points a game which is not bad for a 5’8 freshman
5’6 freshman** he’s listed at 5’7 and we all know everybody adds a inch to their height in college. So that’s even more the reason why that’s impressive.
Jadenn.Walkerr na he looks taller than 5’6
ion even hoop nomo but I been watching this since 6th grade and it’s just like a time machine 😢 this video is legendary
lol, that trash talk at the end
Incredible work ethic for his age. This is what happens when gifts meets putting in the work! Talented young kid right here. Much respect.
W may need to make a video tutorial on him soon!!! ;) SALTY!
🤔🤮🤬🤢🤕🤒🤪🤮🤯🤮🤬🤫
Mr c what’s up
this is the first ballislife video i watched (years ago) before i started watching the main channel
4rr4 5w www w4 re w4 48 re
Despite being shorter he manages to have the best court vision on the floor. This kid is something special
I'm 10'2 and I'm in my mom's womb
shit everyone is talking about their height so I have to follow the trend
Andre Wu omg lol
Andre Wu im 11'9 and im not even born yet is that normal?
Annie Lu who?
Im 15'8 and and im still an egg
Andre Wu I'm 420'69 and I'm a sperm cell
The kid looks shorter than 4'11" and should be taller by now at age 12 but maybe he'll just get that growth spurt in the next few years.
Anthony Davis was 6'3 in the 11th grade...he was 6'9 when he graduated.
i didnt even no what basketball was in grade 7 i wish i did
Christien Anderson You didn't know what basketball was? Dude, I was into basketball when I was like 5 or 6. I remember watching NBA games in the early 90s at that age and became a full fan of the NBA at about age 8 and continued on for years after that until I lost interest in the league in the early 2000s.
do you not remember how middle school was? there were a few taller/older looking kids, and then there were kids that were tiny, and undersized for their age.. highschool is the same way.. its usually the smaller ones that sprout later in their highschool years
Na we will probably be 4'11 for the rest of his life .....................
Ball is life cant find players like these anymore.
love how he was taunting that kid after he got that contested layup!
I hate that part. Great skills and being humble are the best.
Shingosean Not much people appriciate humble people anymore..
Its because the eccentric and conceited ones get all the media attention.
Jordan Hyatte
Is that why people complain about the NBA being to soft?
This is always in my recommended 😂
Nostalgia hit different
Random nostalgic RUclips search in 2024 anyone else?
not only does he have better handles than me, he has better handles than a lot of players in the NBA
Nah, Spiderman still has the best handles. He's even here in youtube. Search it.
Ok lets cut the hyperbole. Sure the kid is pretty good in this compilation meant to show his skills. It doesn't show how many times i'm sure his shots get stuffed by those kids a foot taller. Better handles than the NBA? There wasn't much revolutionary here. He's young, he's small, that's what makes it seem like he's better than he actually is.
***** That's my point, spiderman is not even in the NBA and spiderman is better.
***** He is a street baller........
Paris Alston I know that. It's the professor, Grayson.
in the immortal words of chris smoove "is this a fake video!?"
This kid just keeps giving them (in Chris Smoove's words) the crossover, behind the back, between the legs cheese. LOL
LOL I remember Chris saying that
We gotta have hoop mixtapes like this again
1. John Wall Hoopmixtape (best player in the nation)
2. Chase adams hoopmixtape
3. seventh woods mixtape
4. john wall lockout mixtape
5. zion high school mixtape
its not just this kids pace and shooting ability but his passing vision is the most amazing thing he's got the pace of John Wall, pass/vision of Rajon Rondo, the shooting and layup ability of MJ and the dribbling ability of Allan Iverson
lmao, get him on an nba team!
This kids got the ankle breakers of kyrie....
Pace of John Wall and shooting ability of MJ?
Anyone can do that against these teams that don't play defense.
Insonarc what are you talking about? He plays in the Chicago public league which is one of the best, if not the best in the country!!! A lot of the kids he's playing against is top rank also... Smh
ChiTown63rd If these kids are top rank, wheres the defense?
"the height stuff doesnt mean anything." years later and onto college, chase adams remained at 4'11.
He ain't 4'11 anymore this was back in 2013 he obviously grew some more inches probably ended up at 5 foot 10 inches
Wait till this kid get in high school he gone be something else
*****
great talent he could a full team by himself
***** Micheal Jordon didn't make it on the high school basketball team until his junior or senior year i believe.
Will Clements he played jv his first two years
StreetyK 12 I think Tim Duncan started playing basketball in 9th grade.
StreetyK 12 All I know is he locked himself in his room and cried cus he didnt make it to the basketball team. well that's all i know so far
At that time, I really hoped that he'll make it to the league 🔥🙏🏾
Same. I just came here cause this mix is so clean.
Yea he doin good, he in college right now starting as a freshman I hope he make it💪🏾
It sucks but people just got better and he couldn’t keep up. He just failed I don’t think he’s making it to the league
@@lividman2372 he ain’t done yet wym he failed
@@serchizzle5728 where he at now?
Anyone else watch this and think, Why do I watch this all the time
He could play for the Knicks right now! Sad but true.
You are exaggerating with that comment, he is way to small and weak.
lol, yeah but he's in better condition than Felton, and not facing jail time either ... lol.
LolKittenzXD Just my way of saying the Knicks suck.
A another guy who melo can pass to
Now, you know Melo don't pass my brotha!!!!
I would NOT make this kid lift weights. At this point in his development push-ups and squats and calf raises (weightless) are more than enough at this point. Don't want to stunt his growth his skill level is incredible once he fills out physically who knows how great he could be.
What about bicep curls? That doesn't stunt growth at all.
Asap Terio bicep curls, most useless shit ever when it comes to athletic performance, pull ups, climbing rope etc. are much more beneficial for u WHILE getting some meat on ur biceps.
Advegsu Ikr. Bicep curls do nothing except make you look better aesthetically but at his age it wouldn't do much. And why does everyone think weights stunt growth? They increase explosiveness, reduce injury, and make you so much stronger.
Daniel Zimmerman Yeah, I mean sure if he goes balls out bodybuilder mode mostly doing isolation exercises and going for the same sets & reps etc. I'm not a doctor but I would guess it could affect possibly on his growth, but if he would train like an athlete from the get-go I dont think he would have any issues.
Squatting with heavy weights reduces growth and makes you shorter
I Remember Watching This All Time 😭.
Why everybody hating he good bruh
wys
+xia xu lol well he is good but it said he has better handles than me but im got way better
+Sindro LP dont underestimate him
ikr
Android gamer
well maybe he was just joking with these dudes then im sorry for saying anything
He is going to be that 5 foot tall Michael Jordan haha
I just hope can read as good as he plays. amazing talent...
Watching this in 2023 knowing Chase Adams grew only to 5'8 and didn't make it to the NBA just makes me appreciate Allen Iverson even more
None of yall play ball obviously cuz you all looked over this kids basketball IQ, Vision and ability to make shots amongst bigger guys and shoot long range jumpers. For a 12 year that is an extremely advanced skill set most players who are good at this age are big and athletic but dont have close to this much savy to their game thats the true thing that should be seen here
the memories...
who is still watching this in 2019!
I used to watch this vid before every game in middle school 😂😂
becomes a lawyer.
this kid is awesome
When your on your 4th foul 1:01
Lmao, haha i was thinking the same thing
You get fouled out when you have 6 fouls
You foul out when you have 5 in youth.
LMAO IM HELLA DONE AHAH
(late asf)
😂😂😂😂
Memory unlocked from childhood
Ur an OG if u remember watching this
if he get some height he can be the next cp3
Rondo
True & other point guards like umm... Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker and other I don't remember at this moment.
Ty Aj Right. He's probably the next Muggsy, because he's real short
This is sad to watch I didn't know kids ankles were suppose to do that😢🏀
XD

Lmbo
Haha 🤣
I remember in third grade him looking much older to me…looking at it now,man he was little.But was a killer never the less.
This kid is nice, I remember seeing him at Phenom camp. Another underrated prospect I saw there was Mark Shehady from Western PA. Check out his IA elites mix tape and scouts focus highlights. If colleges need someone that can shoot and handle the ball this is your guy. Also look for PAelitemixtapes starting mix tapes of some of the top talent in PA including Gibbs Kanyongo (2018), Alex Nichols (2017), A.J. (2018), and many more.
People that say that say he is trash, he is better than you and could be incredible if he was blessed with height
+Sr. Gamer personally i feel like his smaller size makes him faster and thats his advantage imo i think height really doesnt matter as long as ur at least 5'9
I'm 14'11 and I was born yesterday. The struggle is real for my mom
CG 7 , no way
How can you spell then
Panda Person it's a joke chill
This mix was my whole childhood
not impressed, can't even dunk.
tfhgw921 that made no sense
***** I can dunk and Im 4 feet
***** dude that's easy, I'm 9 feet and i can touch rim.
I'm 4'9" in my shoes and i can dunk off an ally
MartinKoTMoH THE HELL YOU CAN
Damn why is he so short for a 7th grader. He looks like a 3rd grader. I was 5'7 at least at 7th grade and I'm considered short.
Because he hasn't had a growth spurt yet. I just went to my first high school reunion, and this one kid that was a couple grades below me was about this height in 9th grade, and now he's like, 6'1. He grew a solid foot or more in two years.
I was 5'9 in 6th grade, now I am 6'6 and 22 turning 23 in two weeks
MrAFLMaster Yeah, I'm almost 22 and still growing somehow. Never did have a growth spurt though.
I'm in 7th grade and I'm 5'10. (My uncle is 6'11)
Im 5 feet and on the middle school basketball team
He's the Allen Iverson of the gradeschoolers lol
I really don't think it will matter how tall he grows... that almost crosses the border of mystical. 1:59 wooo...
BRO I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST WITNESSED THE HANDLE, COURT VISION, ABILITY TO FINISH WITH EITHER HAND ETC 🤦♂️💯UNREAL
he doesn't have crazy handles he's just tiny
GW yeah
I can't believe so many hating ass comments, yes bitch ,he does have crazy handles and his court vision is extremely high. Oh yeah he still young as hell. Hating ass bitches
Chill kid and height does matter i have a friend that is higher than us like 15-20 cm and we can't even reach him and we can't stop him so stfu u little bich
The Rope yyou don't need height just ask Nate Robinson
The Rope go have a 1v1 with cp3, get your ass whooped by him, then tell me that height matters okay? :)
i am dunk and i can 4'11
DerpHappy damn son , where did u find these skills
idk how i do it man
a gift from God
+MARLO WEAKS he meant to say, I am 4"11 and i can dunk.
+DerpHappy Troll much?
I guess the young dude is gonna join the Chicago Bulls when he grows up,hmm!🏀🏀😏
victor JJ narcos do you see when this was uploaded lmao?
He’s like 20 or older already or he’s a rookie nobody ever notices in the nba 😂
this vid brings back so many memories
in high school his shot will get blocked literally every time
I play varsity and jv and im in middle school and im confused because im still not ranked
he hasn't even went through puberty yet. let him get bigger and stronger and i believe he will learn to adjust his shot.
when your 4'11 in 7th grade you won't grow too much more maybe he will be 5'3
Ok that may be true but he will get stronger. Personally I was 5'6 in the eighth grade. By the end of my tenth I was 6'2. Haven't grown since but still....
Not true. I was 4'11 in 7th grade and now I'm 5'6 in Senior year. And plus, I know a lot of people who were 4'11 in middle school and are now giants or 5'7/5'8. Just late growth spirts
Chicago has the best ballers!
Its gotta be his shoes...
Lol..... Is that a movie reference?
It's a reference to "like mike"
no like mike anymore.. its called like james
Chase Adams = Like Mike 3
the shoes huh?! Naaa! I'll believe that when llamas drive cars and LeBron is just another guy in the world on his couch!
I respect mans even nine years after bro is 4 11 and is cooking
I would feel bad guarding him. Lol
This kids gifted 😫
Lil homie explosive asf 🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
This right here brings back MEMORIES....
Basically every comment:
LOLZ CAN U VS ME CUZ I GT BTTR HNDLES THEN U AND IM IN FIFFTH GRAYDE
That pretty much sums it up.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure he has better spelling than you! BURN
Andrew Fontillas thats the joke...
Andrew Fontillas did u forget to read the top part
Andrew that wasn't a burn you dumb fuck
Probably but I bet he doesn't have a post game that can match mine :)
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAA
4'11" 7th grader? I'm 5'7 and I'm in 7th haha, but he's still really good haha
One of the best ballislife mixtapes they put out
It's not fair though, this kid is sooo small! His center of gravity is lower than everybody else's which means his dribble comes back to him quicker! Why do you think Center and PFs aren't crossing people up!? However, I would dominate this kid. He's just too small to match up with me lol
So you're cool right? Because you can "dominate" a 13 year old?
badass alert over here
*whoop. Get yourself a dictionary you stupid ass bitch.
Derek Andrew do you honestly not know the word whip? get off the internet. You're disgracing humanity
Derek Andrew you cannot correct slang and hope to sound credible in anyway. How does it feel failing at insulting?
someone hired these other basketball players not to block this child.
Exactly what I was thinking. Either that or they're complete trash.
Stephen curry watches this
Stephen curry: am I a joke to you?
Im 11 and 5 ft
i’m 5 and 6’28
I'm 4'11 too!When my friend Shaun and I were playing basketball 1v1 I broke his ankles.He is 5'7 and then I did a half court to finish the game. i won and Shaun is one of the best players!
