- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- James Akinjo is from Oakland, CA. He's committed to play for Georgetown next season in the Big East. What's interesting about him is he lead the Oakland Soldiers to a Peach Jam championship last year & received MVP of the tourney as well but, he wasn't invited to McDonald's, Jordan Brand & even the Allen Iverson(Georgetown Alumni) All American events. He did however make the Ballislife All American game. Here are some highlights and an interview we has with him.

“Im tryna eat, and there aint enough plates for everybody so imma have to take it” Thats my new life motto
Love what this kid brings to the table...he’s going to be great - Devinthelab
IN THE LAB would you ever consider training him? making him better
Good stuff George. Hope he becomes next Lillard
he is shorter
Hesitatin no 6'0 mac is 6' 2
Ballislife he fouls so much
every pg who is underated compared to lillard and every sf compared with kawhi
his game is nothing like lillard. Next pat beverley
I like him. Confident but not cocky. Very true to his game.
James Akinjo & Jahvon Quinerly in the Big East next year...
IN THE LAB and Mac
IN THE LAB he fouls so much
Y’all don’t get it he playin like that to help mac!!!! Mac gonna play someone who gonna hack like “James does” so if James does that now and mac get use to playin that physical defense. He’ll know what to do in a real game. Not a 1v1 between two future teammates who tryin to make eachother better
what is the beat in the first part ive been looking for it for 2 hours
im from the future they are garbage
underrated and that was defense, he is aggressive. No soft shit.
Hella handchecking
OG AnunoTHREE facts
Hella bitching
ya the league(NBA) should bring back Hand Checking , otherwise its too fucking soft.
In today's league you actually have to be a good defender. I think that handchecking gives an advantage to the defender. But yes it is harder for the offensive player. So it's good and bad
Miholes Guin "handcheck gives advantage to defender" but "It makes it harder for the offensive player" ? I think you said the same thing ...so it's just bad
His handle is legit borderline lethal imagine having to guard him a whole game of 5 on 5 good luckkk
Aaron Luther imagine playing him 1 on 1 free dribble 🤦🏽♂️
5 on 5 easier son
After the whole BIL all American event he’s become one of my favorite players to watch
Ref thick as hell 😭😭😭 8:40
brr brr i thought i was the only one that noticed
ON THE SET SHE THICK!! LMAOOOO
Thought I was the only one 😂💀
And she fine at 9:18
Hmmm I wonder of that's Zipphora Chase. Either way all y'all need Jesus
“I don’t have nothing else going for myself or my family, this all I got” damn that’s real, rooting for this man super hard the struggle is real out here
I Want Winners Produxtions frr
That's how it is for most. It doesn't make him fucking special or more driven than most. You're corny
What about a free education at a prestigious university such as Georgetown?
No props for that 1v1 vs Mclung. He was hacking like crazy
That’s not defense when he was playing with Mac man, might as well give the dude a hug
Taja King hella hand checking
Hesitatin ain’t nun bout being soft, if someone is basically pushing your away from the basket with their hand is no defense. Might as well be on the defensive line blocking for the quarterback
Hesitatin naw I’m used to it, it just gets me when I use my off hand to block the person after I get by them, I always get called for holding
Hesitatin exactly
Taja King You can hug me all day and I'll still score, but I'm not a weak ass cry baby.
Him and Mac in the same backcourt for Georgetown is gonna be lethal
its really not lol
@Tommy Oliver survey says jiggly was right 😂
@Tommy Oliver lol they did extremely well?? You need to educate yourself on the definition of extremely. They lasted a season and a half before both of them transferred out. Georgetown went 15-17 this year and was on a 7 game losing streak before play stopped... That's extremely well to you?? They lasted one season where they went 19-13... Good but not great and didn't even make the NCAA tournament and got bounced in the first round of the NIT... That's extremely well to you? They didn't fit well together obviously... Get your facts straight before you start talking
@Tommy Oliver nobody said anything about winning it all. I mentioned that they didn't even make the NCAA tournament with the talent that they did have. I addressed your statement of " extremely well"... Maybe if you understood how the English language worked you would know what EXTREMELY well means. You sound dumb defending a failing season as if a sub .500 season is EXTREMELY good. Individually they're both amazing but together nah it wasn't gonna work with them both needing the ball. Go find a dictionary before you speak
TUFF
After JQ's tape had to watch this one. Once again much respect brought. ||Made in the Lab||
He hand checks the mess outta dudes
They all hand checking & holding how I know bc I was there so makes his hand checks different from ur fav player besides the fact he clamped ur fav player get over it & reconize the fact he has real game & is going to the next level & those hand checks can & will be corrected in collage u guys are horrible!! It’s sad I see this kid from Gym to Gym working the hell out of ur fav player & all u can point out is his hand checks 😂😂😂😂 u guys are clowns 😂😂 I would love to see ur game!!
D1 Nice lol
D1 Nice You must be the Soldiers Director
No I actually have no ties to none of it I watch a lot of ball & played a lot even collage I just don’t like how everyone on here bashing this kid for doing just about every high player is doing in a street ball type of setting this event wasn’t made to be a real game but bc he got the best of a few good players all of a sudden he hand check to much or he failing I seen stuff the video didn’t show & even in the video they all failed but I guess it makes him the bad guy bc the video about him
*fauled*
He hand he’s hands on MAC the whole time and refs gonna call that every time. He’s good tho
D1hooper Mike Mac is overrated
mac basically a football player playing pickup basketball
DatStepBack but MAC was also doing it too
News flash theyre not in a game.. Also good players/teams/organizations play like this in practice so they can learn to play through it in a real game.. Since obviously you don't know that much.. Your welcome son
D1hooper Mike james alot.of foul there
That spin is crazyyy!!❕❕
Hand checkkkkk
Love the dog in him! Will follow at Georgetown for sure
Saw this guy from professor video dude has a nice handle and can score
you can feel his energy
Love that hustle this kid came out to EAT
Nice defence by both players.
Hard to score when your Mac, when you have someone constantly handchecking you. But overall he is solid
He’s going to have foul trouble early. That’s a bad habit to build
JGoat3 it's physical 90's nba defense I love it.
Good stuff man keep working the Big East waiting on u
Love his story and what he trying to do with his life. Saw a video of him talking about how Richmond and North Oakland enabled him to want more for himself. Rooting for him. I hope he gets to run point and Mac runs the shooting guard position.
This dude has a great influence and impact on me.
This boy is too fucking cold.
It’s called old school hard nosed defense but I know they call it fouls nowadays. These new young guards don’t know what to do if someone bodying you up cause they don’t do that any more. I respect the kid cause he is hungry. And he does not back down from no one because they got mix tapes everyone can get got in basketball even the best. Much respect to him and Oakland.
Manny Handball Channel "old school hard nosed defense", he's handchecking son, last time I checked wasn't mj the one who basically implemented that rule? Lmaooo
the orbit I agree with you but that was because Jordan had to face triple teams all day and people trying to kill him when he went to the hole so don’t give me that s**t. These guys nowadays are shooting 30 foot 3s but can’t take a little bit of hand checking in a competitive game that’s made to make a player work to score. Come on bro be real with yourself these kids nowadays are not built for that type of D. I am not hating just stating facts. None of the players were bitchin about fouls cause it’s a drill your supposed to get physical and competitive. Anyway just my two sense for what that’s worth.
Manny Handball Channel true
It takes no skill to push someone back because they are about to pass you
Daeyon James Not about skill it’s about competitiveness ask any real baller if they wouldn’t do anything to win especially with no refs involved. He’s not being dirty he’s just playing hard nosed defense if he’s fouling the other players aren’t saying anything. The beauty of this drill is that u can do the same back point blank. It’s not a skill based drill it’s a will based drill.
Mac was walking to Montgomery lol
Facts like everyone saying that's sub par defense at best. As a 6'1 bball player defense comes primarily from the legs. Being in the right positions and cutting or closing in on your opponents driving lanes is the right defense. & being able to keep your hands up at the right times. Also great sometimes to stretch you arms out horizontally, esp if you have long arms. But always be quick on your feet.
Emrvld tbh good D means footwork (legs) regardless of height, and you're right ab hands up or out at the right time..
This kid has quick feet and quick hands, needs work on timing
Gonna be great🔥
Not gonna lie the only time he actually plays good defense is when he hand checks, relies too much playing defense with his hands, offensively he’s definitely D1
Hq Feng the reason for that is because he’s so small. He’s bout 6-0 160lbs
Lil Knot also a reason why he won’t be able to play much if he continues to hand check and pick up quick fouls in college
I am going to keep it 1000 percent.... I'm sure that he meant to say "Anybody" and not "Nobody"
Dude fouled out before he even scored. That's not defense. If everyone played defense like he did and just hold them and hug them and push. He'd definitely never score.
David Elsea they didn’t foul out in this game
David Elsea i agree to some extent. But i dont think youre used to that type of defense.
David Elsea most of those really weren't even fouls Mac just not use to people playing tight D on him with body/contact cuz u can't do that in those soft highschool games so he got use to people giving him space... Both did good tho nonetheless
thats 1990s defense.
That's how defense used to be played. You dudes are soft now
His spin move is killin
He’s not lying, he’s definitely better than almost everyone in his class tbh
LordAnmus No he's not lmao
Yea except Nas, KP, Jordan, RJ, Zion, Moses all better
and waaay more hes ranked like number 97
and rankings dont reallyy mean much but just looking at the other guards the top guards hes not better than them
Zadistics - except? Thats all you could name? And you put moses on there? Are you smoking
I BEEN TRYNA TELL YALL ABOUT THIS MAN DUDE !!!
This kid is the future his heart is crazy 💯
The best on-ball defender in the country/ bar none!!!
He put mac on clamps
HE is best Pointguard in California👌
Yea I watched him at gtown before he got suspended he has serious game
He didn't get suspended, he just left
CLAMPS, He playin defense. I like it
Keep doing u keep up with the handles
Can we get more James Akinjo footage please.
Seen this man doing 1v1s he different the way he play shows the mentally he has of the rip
To the guys calling "handchecks", man that is THE defense. young fellas know no shit about how the defense was back then
It's a foul now though, period
Keep your head up
He's really good. But his defense is gonna have to change up a bit. Cause he's guarding like you would on a street court. "Professional" leagues, that'll be fouled up every time or every other time. He can still be a beast on both ends, but that one thing will hinder him.
He's handchecking the hell out of him. That won't fly in a game.
He has great potential but in this video I see that his weakness is he plays "angrily". A good basketball player knows that the first battle on the court isnt with his opponent, its his Mindset. The first step to a successful game is to always get yourself into the zone/mindset before starting to try making shots.
Bay in the building
Oakland stand up🤟🏾
His offense is 👍.
Defense is more like trying to make the other player travel, carry.
I seen the comments saying it’s soft🤔. When in fact when you have to grab a player because you’re afraid they will cross you is what would appear to be more soft actually.
His defense is made for football, his offense is made for basketball.
St8 our the rich💪🏾🤝
he's good ode but ya also got to admit he fouls odeee and hand check a lot too
dude can play .. locking down mac like its cake
I saw him play at my high school against jalen green. He’s actually a bucket
What’s that first song at the beginning?
He just straight up locked up #1 PG in cali. That was a straight set up lmfao get his hopes up then lock him up atta boi💯
Someone has to inform Mac to make his left foot his triple threat pivot foot. You can try to tell me it doesnt matter but the dude traveled at around 1:36 because he switched to the natural left pivot to explode into his move.
That Nigerian Blood!!! Destined to be great
David Okutinyang yup half yoruba to be exact
Clearly a master of the English language. They have been here for 400 years and still struggle with English, hilarious.
That quote in the Thumbnail makes no sense...lmao
Nice video my dude
Mac was on skates the whole time....
He and Mac are gonna be the college Backcourt of D.C hoops.. if they can bring that Wall/Beal type hype and just cook. All business, just cook guys.. like the Dame and CJ, Brad and John, groups of the world do.. they should be fine.
"You're not one of those guys"... they cut the video off literally right before they scrolled to his name lol he's the 25th PG in the nation
You realize his quote in the thumbnail is a double negative, meaning he doesn’t feel as though he’s the best in the gym. He said it, not me
He was serving up McClung
What are those shoes mac has on in the 1 on 1
He fouls too much on defense it's really blatant doesn't he notice it ? smh
Roberto Ruiz there's a big difference between hand checking and straight up shoving and grabbing
Because he’s ignorant and prideful.
Game speed no ref is catching that may e only in the NBA
💯✊🏾
Going to Arizona.
He is decent pretty small and you know how they do the small ones he has good defense tho
Richmond California stand up
Grammar is hard.
Love his drive and his heart but he plays defense with his hands lol, not sure why they dont call so many obvious hand checks. That being said he has good hands too. Not a consistent shooter nor is he a consistent finisher at the rim. Lotta heart but a lot of work to do to reach his goal.
most accurate analysis
because you cant call everything and refs dont if they see you playing a certain way
I knew I wasn’t the only one who FW this guy game I love players that lock up and play defense same dog that Collin sexton had on Jaylan hands in the bilaag
Lol he fouled for half of this vid
“I don’t feel like nobody better than me” ..... so you do feel like someone is better than you
Blk Palms you’re misquoting
As much as I want him to succeed the hype is behind mac being that they’re attending the same school. Do you think he will start over mac?
TheShoeSupremist he might he’s more skilled Mac has more athleticism though
nope
Jay Fresco no he is not more skilled, Mac has a better all around game than him
He’s more skilled than Mac.. and plus he has that aggressive dog mentally so I think he’ll work harder than Mac too.
They could play 1 and 2. Combo guards
Dude fouls way to much can’t play defense like that in college
I feel like mr jelly JQ will give him buckets
That's exactly how you suppose to feel young bull ! NO PRISONERS 🚫
What shoes does mac have on
JQ all day 💯🍇
I'm glad Im not the only 1 that thought he was hackin Mac life away.
Bay point guards never get the respect they deserve out of high school
Don’t get it twisted some real boys be coming out of the Bay Area especially oakland even tho Salesian is in Richmond. Salesian and O’Dowd always bringing out talent
i for one love it, and as a gtown fanatic can't wait for this backcourt to link up. Heart, grit, determination and stubbornness from both of them. Now to all the lollipops moaning bout "hand checking". Pppfffttt as if the kid doesn't have lateral foot speed anyway. Only an all finesse hs player would bitch about this. This is the fuckin BIG EAST!!! No lollipops allowed. He's got the same heart/ grit as Jonathon Wallace, more talent tho.
Definitely a dame lillard type
obviously never heard of Mac n Mccabe
James "Lil Brook" Akinjo
Mac traveling all over the place lol
This the guy that be hand checking like crazy and don’t talk about this 1 on 1 cus he did the same in the all American game
The foul guy HAHAHA
