I'm 4'10 and I can dunk.
On a 6 foot rim.
Attitude Change = Success
Shut up his attitude is fine
+MrRedbull901 his attitude does need to change, he can't be part of a successful team with an attitude like this.
+MrRedbull901 His attitude is Fine? He threw the ball at the dude on the ground and was pushing defenders back with his off hand and just basically having all around BAD sportsmanship.
+Anthony ward falling out of bounds don't play basketball don't say anything
Dude he posted a picture of him fucking his girl, I mean really. This dude need a attitude change.
I would never want a person like him on my basketball teams to be honest
Tendia Nawo naww i got Google plus likes Im not alone and juss my opinion so get mad if u like I have better things to do, like hoop
amen
Hating
Uncle Drew my big brosaid DAT to u
+Be Cool Your boy? He doesn't even know you. You need to stop praising other people for their talent and make your own
😂 Everyone in the comments listing their height and telling people they can dunk. Lmao Wheres your mix tape at though?
Haha where dey at doe!
HANK BROWN What did you say?
Ppom
Bitch I'm one foot and I can dunk
I'm 5,8 and I can't dunk or even come close to the rim
1:06 How are you gonna make a highlight of a kid so arrogant that he throws the ball at another kids face. Even if it was a nice steal, if that's entertaining then we're not talking about basketball
Id make him ride the bench for that he try to act hard cause he small I went to all white high school on decent team and we went to camp and played a all black team from Charlotte and they acted like in warm ups they was gonna run all over us and we won 54-20
King Chris this is his highlight reel, he isn't a top player. He isn't anywhere near lebron or kd on highschool
I keep up with high school players and never heard of him have any of y'all heard of Dywane Bacon or Daniel Giddens
john doeaa dumbass what he did was a good basketball IQ play. He was clearly off balance and about to cross out of bounds so he threw the ball off him to gain posession.
I'm pretty sure he was going out of bounds
As I watch this kid it is hard to project him BEYOND the next level. I can DEFINITELY see him playing at a mid-major EASILY. Perhaps a high D1. Can he play at the NBA level, it is too early to tell. Positives: He is very physical for his age and size. I love that. He DOES have a quick first step, not the quickest, but quick enough nonetheless. HE has GREAT court awareness and good vision. Handle is strong, not just flashy, the ball gets away from him a little at times, but I will attribute that to the type/level of play, at the next level, he looks like he can easily keep it under the waist and inside 6 inches from his sides. Downside: You all keep discussing offensive limitations. My concerns are purely defensive. He is a little small to defend larger guards. At 6'0 to 6'4 he will provide little resistance on the ball. He also has to tuck the elbow on the Jumper and perhaps work on a higher release point to avoid shot blockers on the perimeter. A floater in the lane would help too as right now he actually finishes at the rim, that won't happen in College or professionally.
Finally someone who has an intelligent comment
agreed 100....well put.
Hooking. :/.
But who are you lmfao
Lisa Anderson sebestian telfair same type lil taller
#draft #model
Everyone calling him too arrogant, well, thats exactly the mental fire most of this generation LACKS.
I wouldn't want him on my team but i love how the look on his face says im going to embarrass you and the look doesn't say a thing about his next move, he just makes a move and its not even on instinct the move is just natural to him.
HE IS DOPE !! NOBODY CAN GUARD HIM !! WHEN THE BALL IS IN HIS HANDS HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANT !! UNSTOPPABLE BEST ON OFFENSE AND MONSTER IN THE FINISH !! ONLY BRIGHT FUTURE FOR THIS YOUNG TALENT - THERE ARE A LOT OF HUGE MOMENTS IN HIS BASKETBALL FUTURE TO COME AND HE WILL KILL IT !! ;)
Stop writing in caps lock on every video
27 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in his college debut against #11 Louisville.
All I will say is tune in to ESPNU on January 23 when he takes on fellow Milwaukie guard Darrell Riley for MVSU. I hope they put on a show
i was watching him 2 years ago and i was 5'3 im 5'10 now and dunking
this man kinda helped me think on my vert and moves to get around defenders with spins and fadeaways and such
@Daniil McDonald how old were you when you were 5'3?
He's the real deal amongst the elite in his class wat yall sayin ....when they grown up he will bully them his mentality won't let him lose he's a born warrior regardless
the ultimate little man syndrome
the fact that he could dunk is what makes him outstanding, but if you mix only the good parts, everyone is good.
Guys or should I call you haters. This is a kid - growing up. He is just feeling himself and his talents. It's called confidence. He threw the ball at the defender - as he was going to be out of bounds - so he was trying to get the ball to bounce off of the defender and land out of bounds. Many great players talk smack - no problem - including a lot of NBA players. The kid will mature as he is coached at a higher level. To Uncle Drew - no he would not be on your team - he would be on the other team whipping your arse. Most comments like this come from people that have never been at an elite level with their basketball skills. You don't want the best player - you want some head down, don't say anything, poor skilled player. Let kids grow up and keep your mouth closed.
Man I'm 5ft 7 and he looks short but he got some gifts like that dunking he got. I don't think attitude is bad and I don't understand why people hate that it is exciting he just has to control it. He looks pretty talented, Can shoot, drive, pass, has an all around game maybe like a Westbrook type of player. IDK what his status is right now in the HS rankings but if he is doing that on better competition he might be a solid player.
Bro was really cold frl fry STAMPED!
He reminds me of Patrick Beverly From the Houston Rockets, they are both Aggressive and good players.
Trae is a beast ! I'm looking forward for him in the NBA.
If this kid ever gets over himself he'll be sooo good, super smart player.
I hate it when people say u cant guard me but thus kids amazing
He's at Texas Southern University (D1 HBCU) and coached by Mike Davis (yeah THAT Mike Davis from Indiana). He's not getting much burn this year yet but I trust Coach Davis will put him in the best position to be the best player he can be.
On another note, fellow 5'7 dynamo Darrell Riley is at MVSU and getting plenty of burn off the bench after redshirting last year.
This dude here, wow I went to PV, but I will check him out at TSU once he gets cleared to play in Dec. Love the small ballers like my son
A lot of yall commenting about him being arrogant or having a bad attitude sound like some straight lames... this is basketball not the chess club... or golf... hes usually the smallest player on the floor and he goes to the hole with authority.... sports require people to have an edge... a toughness... mental toughness.. confidence... and a little big of arrogance... hes 5'7 a lot of people are going to doubt him.. im glad he believe in himself hes gonna need it
He's nasty. Straight like that. But because I cannot project him and his skill set in the NBA then its really no point. I'm sure his top main goal isn't to be the best HS player in the country. An NBA scout will look at him and his game and probably say, 'After college he won't be able to make those moves against the CP3s or even the Mo Williams of the world. And he damn sure can't guard them."
The kid is good. He can hoop, but this is a sport where size matters. And of course there have been exceptions to the rule, but very few. I could probably could name half off the top. But it doesn't happen often.
your gonna sound stupid if he hits a growth spurt, and who says nba is the only career for basketball players? this dude could go overseas if he gets stronger and stays under control
Eshwar Tangirala a growth spurt? at 18? you either get two or 3 small ones or one big spurt. Rarely this late pass puberty.
And don't give me some Anthony Davis bs either.
lante07 so youre saying his career is over after collge? please he could go to the d league or play overseas if aquille carr did
Eshwar Tangirala I agree with that. But don't act like the NBA isn't the dream job here. And I'm talking NBA, so yes, he will not have an NBA career.
lante07 that does happen scottie pipped grew 8 inches In college
at the end of the day he get buckets and gets the ball to his team mates and he is a smaller quard who is fearless and let you know he is not scared whats the problem ever player isnt the same thats his game let him play
🏀 basketball is basketball Lil dude have skills though... Can go far... This is a man game and a thinking game and hustle...alot of talent out here
1:05 thats pretty messed up.
He dove at him and trae made him fall. It was just a happy reaction by him.
This shit's hot, respect the handle, great facilitator, blinding speed, great strength and fakes. I see him like a Steve Francis, Nate Robinson combo.
Its not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.
Nothing wrong with a little finesse! He has swag man.
this is the best thing I ever seen
player is as dope as the beat. great mix
He's great. Honestly who cares what his attitude is like because there is a lot of people who can be like that.
To everybody complaining about this dude talking trash and being arrogant you people probably like Larry Bird, MJ, Kobe, and cats like Reggie Miller. Guess what many NBA players including Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson said that Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, and Larry Bird talked the most trash on the court in NBA history. Gary Payton was another big time trash talker. It's apart of the game, but everybody is looking past that because this dude is from the hood and those guys are quote on quote clean cut.
agreed
it's annoying when people say that. they not robots & its ok to fill in the narrative of the game as long as u not be disrespectful. basketball is a show prove game. if he's sayin come hold me(guard me) an they can't then it's not trash talk then. it's fact
+D Tucker Sr Agreed
Little bro loves the game and that's all I seen while he played
With his attitude he not going pro he got enough techs in this video for the entire league
Everybody raging at him for his actions and pointing out 1:06. If you are all so dumb to go criticize without knowing what happened, you should keep your opinions to yourself. At that point, all he did was try to save the ball form going out of bounds from his touch, so he threw the ball at the opponent, incidentally throwing it at the other person's face (could've been intentional but if you are at a situation like that, you aim at the opponents feet to prevent him from catching the ball with his hands but there happened to be a face this time). He is really good at basketball and with all the hard work he has done to achieve those handles and skills, he has a right to look down on others, ironically when they are taller than him even! If his attitude of a "king" helps him move forward then by all means, but it is true that coaches search for members with also good sportsmanship.
+Joakim Kaseva I correct myself, you throw the ball at the opponents feet also if you are about to make an illegal move by accident, for instance traveling. I can't say which reason he had, traveling or out of bounds.
Man this kid is fun. Could be the next AI. Guess we'll have to wait to see if he gets in the league. But before that, I want to see him play against Corey Sanders. Now that would be a show.
Nah his first step is nowhere near AI's first step. That's disrespectful to AI.
True, right now. He could get better in the future though.
Roshan Thomas Your skills get better but that first step is something you have or you don't.
It's one thing to see a mixtape and judge but I've actually played against this kid. I'm also from Milwaukee he is by far one of the best guards I've seen he's very shifty and crafty against players of all sizes. If he get the right coaching at a good school he has the potential to be a good long term player
Unselfish, confident, something alot of our youth lacks, what yall are lucky is that he's not 6ft or taller, he's already a problem. But we know the league is weak and acts like small kids can't get buckets or are mismatch problems so they rather draft taller weaker guards who still couldn't check their own shadows. Thank God for euro league
Omg that kid has hands like wow he is the best he can make to NBA if he stay on point bjt not going to far but he has hands and he good so get up the good job n say on top!!!!
He can dunk man and he's 5,7?? wtf he's a beast
1:05 did he just smash the ball on the opponent
He's really wild
Yo he’s a beast he’s great
😈
yeah he is very skilled can dunk at 5'7 I mean I can barely dunk at 5'11 plus those moves he has are also sick.
This kid kinda scares me..So much talent.
Plays like Eric Bledsoe
David Makaveli
my 1st thought after intro. damn Eric has a son he don't know about!
trae is the truth...
Talks ALOT. And backs his shit up
The best HS player right now to me is Marcus Lovett Jr. He is a team player, that can shoot, the rock.
Agreed he is a beast mini Kyrie
ITZ PROVACATIVE IT GETS THE PEOPLE GOING!!!!!!
1:05 well that was nice
Cold af 🔥👌🏾
there was a guy in my team like this with this kinda attitude, he was gonna get MVP but Assholes attitude got in the way of the MVP!!!!!!!
Why do people constantly shame someone for being proud and competitive
I went to college at one of the schools he is playing at. Spartanburg Methodist
so entertaining this vid got 1 million views
This kid is the definition of Napoleon Complex.
Great dunker! That reminds me to watch some spud Webb clips
He's a great high school player! He maybe able to play D1 but I think it would be real hard for him to get to the NBA because of his size! In the NBA everybody can jump! Everybody is fast, and everybody is 6'3 or taller with long arms!
There are alot of 511-6ft guards its just that they are more polished and have a higher skill set iq and overall game than him,h i not fit for the nba but there are alot of 6ft and alittel under guards in the nba chris paul,isaih thomas,eric bledsoe, the list goes on and on
I think he's good at ball but I felt very bad for that kid at 1:06 and I think they should have called foul for that. I don't care how good he is. People will like him even more for not being so cocky. Knowing how to be humble after success proves your worth.
These rock
by his demeanors I can see a kid whose love for the game does not come close to his desire to crush his enemies and make them feel degraded
I'll say what we are all thinking. He is VERY good, looks to have a good future in front of him, but that cockyness will catch up with him.
Video was a nice resemblance of how the biggest and deadliest sin of all, pride, could shut down an entire person's opportunity to get big.
What I'm saying is, at 1:05, if you watch closely, he slams the ball unnecessarily at a fallen boy's head with great force. Was this required, did this have any effect on the rest of the match other than people thinking he's arrogant and brutal?
Personality still beats talent and/or skill.
Kids, don't be arrogant and unnecessary like him.. No matter how good you THINK you are, there are players better than you.
+Yuan Yu didnt even hit his face.....he was about to travel so he bounced the ball of his opponent so he could get it back
+Paradox Player/Editor Or he was out of bounds and did so it is out on the other team
Striktno i explicitno
Daam! I love his game
Aquille Carr now only plays on Nbl
Aquille Carr, Most Exiting Player
Demontrae Jefferson, Most Entertaining Player
All you guys do is hate give credit where its do. How many of you guys in the comment section have mixtapes? At least he is doing something but yall here watching his videos so he mustve impressed you
Reminds me of a young nate robinson
Aquille Carr as well.
Oh yea him too
That arm extension is an offensive unless they playing a pickup
THAT'S A baddddd BOY !!!
So many travels
Was he bouncing the ball off that guy on the floor's head?
Dope Renaissance yeah right in the stomach must’ve hurt 😂😭
1:03 has me rollin lmao
He seems like the type of player that wants to prove something instead of the team winning. Like if you agree
i want to see him one on one with kyrie
for all y'all saying he is arrogant, don't forget about Reggie Miller, Allen Iverson, and Of course MJ they all talked shit and they all backed it up. Dude is 5'7 and balling get off the hate and respect his game.
love to have him on my team
He lives in the same neighborhood in Norman
1:04 i don't understand that moment, im sorry but i don't fuckning understand that moment
im sayin hes good and all but if he would of threw that damn ball off of me while I was on the ground we would of been fightin!
are you the man who's stayed in ground?
He was going out of bounds so he threw the ball at him to save it
very nasty man
Still, he was on the ground after just breaking him. That should at least be a tech
I'm a decent ball player and was wondering how can I get a better chance to have my own mixtape
I don't get why elite mixtapes would portray this kid like this, now everyone in the comments get to have a preformed bias on who he is without knowing him at all
He's like lance Stephenson because he has an attitude
he's gonna have to be one hell of a passer. His scoring ability is too challenged at this level to translate at the next level
1:06 Dang dat hit tho
Like a boss
"POP...hold it down"
You gotta give him his due and proper, he was dunking.
He looks like he is related to the woman from the "P.O.P Hold it down" vines
Nice handle, have fun being a streetball we your entire life
hes good
Did he just throw the ball to the guys head when he broke his ankles? damn
clearly you guys never played basketball he threw the ball at the kid so it would go out on him because he was about to travel. he is arrogant but that right there was easy to detect
Did anyone else notice basically all his high lights are of him going in with his dominant hand? I'm not going to watch the video again to prove myself right but even decent players do work with their off hand. Of course he could probably kill me in a 1 vs 1.
Short people are like that they play like they have something to prove, staring at others and challenging others.
It is to make up for their deficiency in height
He's seems fast cuz he's the smallest guy on the court. But, he doesn't have an explosive first step. If you're 5'7 and expect to play at the next level and the level after (NBA), then you're going to have to be something special. Even with all that fancy dribbling, he couldn't get around guys his height and relied on his little fadeaway jumper.
Tell that to Nate Robinson
Nate Robinson WAS fast and quick. He was able to get by NBA point guards with ease which is why he's been in the league as long as he did. This guy is no Nate Robinson.
Isaac Davis
That's the point idiot. Nate Robinson, Isaiah Thomas, and all of the other small guys in the NBA have that quick first step, while Trae Jefferson doesn't.
i dont see see your hoop mixtapes so quit hating and plus rajon rondo has a worse temper then Trae Jefferson
Isaac Davis And where is your hoop mixtape that validates your basketball expertise?
O yeaa Trae
Yo he sooooooo nice!!! 👌👌👏👏
