He could probably play in the Euro league and make a good living and see the world. That’s still high level pro ball. I know it’s not the NBA but anybody who truly loves hoop would do it in a heartbeat.
seeing him back on the talk show damn near made me emotional. If you are a parent reading it; early specialization isn't worth as much as you think.

wake up at 4am as a kid, it's a no no, need more sleep to grow taller. I do believe there were too much training, muscles need to be relaxed and not be stressed.
The fact that he dedicate his life to basketball…all the training; reaching Div 1 level; and still dedicated to improving today…and passing on his skills, is true success in my eyes
I remember being in the 7th grade in 2009 and i was so envious of this guy and yet still admired him . He motivated me to step my game up and eventually I became an ALL-STATE Basketball player and went on to D1 Juco. Bruh gave me a spark way back when .
You cannot graduate from a juco 😭 I have my masters in cyber security security+ and Network+ certification so you flexing on the wrong person, juco is for local kids who couldn’t get into anywhere else. Humble yourself talking bout “D1” boy you’re hilarious who brags about a certification? I studied for both mine 1 month each n passed go back to CompTIA n do something actually impressive then come back child.
He was very successful it appears....no shame in what he accomplished. its VERY hard to make it to the NBA, especially if under 6'4. Dude looked like he could hoop and was not a bust.
I'm glad the man didn't let it phase him, but this is a classic case of what I tell parents all the time. You don't want your kid peaking/hyped while still a PreTeen. A lot of the talented kids during those years, don't even excel in High School and when the playing field is even physically (every kid gets their growth spurt), its literally an entirely new ballgame.
Stories like this seem common. Julian Newman was another "next great" and he didn't even play college ball. I would oversimplify it to size for Julian Newman too.
To be admired. Everyone has a path. Lots of people he would have never influenced in the NBA have been given alot by interacting with this young man. That is a winner in my book. Make a wonderful dream come true in the journey you are given.

Same thing happened to me. There’s nothing you can do when the NBA has a stat sheet on physicality along with a color barrier as well. No one expects a Mexican to ball like Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant put together. Even though I balled with the likes of the Butler family in Wisconsin, and James Harden back home in Phoenix/Scottsdale. ASU couldn’t pick me up because I never graduated or got myself a GED. I chose a different path. And yeah I didn’t believe I was good enough even when I had the opportunity to play internationally. But hey, looking back? I’m okay where I’m at. Now I make 2.1 M a year as a HS dropout. And I’m working on other streams of revenue. The NBA no longer is what made me love the game so much so I guess God knows what he’s doing. It’s all alright. I’ll still ball out when I feel like it. Even at 29 haha Anthony Edward’s is the reason I like watching the NBA again. Because I stopped after Kobe died. It just all seemed, fake at that point. Orchestrated. Especially with Lebron coming out of a heavily Masonic state which is Ohio, with his Templar Gryffindor tattoo on his chest. Some things just make sense to me. You know? But I’m happy this kid is doing good and still dribbles the ball… I don’t think there’s much to say about internal success, it’s your own happiness. ❤
im not joking. jashaun was my coach in 5th and 6th grade. im in 8th grade now. he's really amazing, and he was the best coach ever. i improved so much, and it was amazing to know that he's basically an nba player. i got on my schools basketball team, and i'll def continue to practice hard because of him. (please like so this gets to the top of the comments 🔥🔥)
I hope his mental is okay. He most likely grew up thinking he would 100% be an NBA player due to the hard work he put in. If he was taller he would of prob got drafted, but being smaller you have to put up way more stats to even be considered worth the risk. He for sure looks good enough to go pro overseas tho or a skills development job in the NBA
So in conclusion, being tall is the most important aspect of an athlete for the NBA. I am not saying it's everything but pretty sure 50% of the probability to get to the NBA is simply: Hope you have good growth genes.
I was hoping everything turned out for him, and very glad to hear. Dude got a college degree while playing the sport he loves - Success, done! Not to mention the countless friends along the way. All that training will benefit his health, fitness, and mentality throughout his entire life. He's strong and absolutely shredded at close to 30 yrs old. Is probably a great coach, any kid would be lucky to play for. Seems like his Pops did it the right way, out of love and great devotion. Some kids, like him thrive in this type of training, especially when it's with their father, or other relative. Very inspiring story! We may see him coaching high level some day, if that's the path he chooses.
I don’t think it was solely his size I think he was inconsistent in making field goals. He had games where he’d get one bucket every 3-4 attempts. If you are a 6 foot guard you need to be a high volume scorer or playmaker and he was neither. I think what really hurt him was he didn’t play well enough in high school, where undersized guards need to be scorers and playmakers. He didn’t do anything special enough at the collegiate level to make an impact either. But he still made D1 unlike Julian Newman.
He still put in work and has a successful college career, has good skills, is a coach and has strong work ethic. Life is good can go wherever he wants with his skills. He's a Living Success
A blind man can’t direct traffic. All those ball handling skills don’t give you the ability to see through the GIANTS in the NBA. He simply didn’t grow to the height necessary to be able to play with the very best.
this should be a lesson to us all…quit worrying about the hype you don’t see in your own life….the ending outcome about your life is just time and place, someone may have the spotlight on them but the only reason they do is because the spotlight has to shine, it’s really of no consequence whose under it
To anyone pushing their kids in sports like this, it can be a good thing, just make sure you push that work ethic in all facets of their life. The vast vast majority dont go pro, so give them the tools they are going to need to be successful in life and not just in sports. It appears these parents did just that. Good on em. Ok, off my soapbox.
5 11 is not that short. There are enough great players around that height or shorter , Chris Paul, Allan Iverson, Isaiah Thomas, Mugsy, Nate Robinson, etc.
I live in Seattle and was involved in youth hoops wish He was coming up. He was a great kid and decent high school player, at Garfield.

People grow, reach their peak, and age at different rates. So just because you're exceptional at something at a young age, it does not mean that you will continue to be exceptional in it as an adult. The reverse is also true, just because you're not good at something at a young age, it does not mean that you cannot learn and get better at it as you get older. If you have two people in their 20's. Person A is a world-class marathoner who's fastest marathon is 2-hr 10 min. Person B is an average person who's best marathon is 3-hr 15 min. In 50 years, when they're both in their 70's, it's very possible that Person B may be able to beat Person A in the marathon if Person A does not age well (deteriorates quickly); does not keep up with his training; gets injured; does not take care of his overall health, etc..
Great story, making it to the NBA is almost impossible. In hindsight, I think he needed to work more on his shooting. When I watch the college highlights, I keep seeing him land unevenly after shooting. If you are a kid - concentrate on your shot! Payton Pritchard does the same dribbling drills, but he has elite shooting, so he is in the NBA.
I mentioned prodigy kids in a comment yesterday with this kid in mind the algorithm mentions this today. AI is wicked smart. If you train like a showman, you become a showman. And to be honest I watch a lot more of that than professional sports.
Bro it's basketball, height is always going to be an important factor. A short dude is always going to be a great defensive liability, tf you gon do when ever guards like Curry and Kyrie tower you and can kill you in the post?😂
If he scored much more (20pts or more), then he would have been picked even if he was not tall enough. He just wasn't talented enough for them to forgo the height deficit.
He could obviously play he just wasn’t an Allen Iverson caliber small guy. Peaked in first or second year of college and his stats showed it. That’s still impressive that his stats actually improved from high school.
Drills alone won’t get you there must play against high level competition daily and have distinct ability or skill that truly separates you from the rest especially being under 6 ft Not to mention being extremely competitive Having a desire to win
@BballManiac ah, i see well thats completly acceptable then! Most people who use ai voiceovers are just lazy, but you have a real reason. i won't disrepect that!
His mistake was his confidence. Should have kept his name in the nba draft list after his rookie year. Aint no way an nba team would gamble on him after completing college with no improvement.
I’m sure he had confidence his numbers will improve and maybe hoping for a late growth spurt? Because once he went undrafted, he won’t be able to return to college ball.
Mugsy was an outlier. Like if you drop 100,000 eggs from a 50 story building, one of them may not crack. The rest will. The one that did not crack is Mugsy.

Drills alone won’t get you there must play against high level competition daily and have distinct ability or skill that truly separates you from the rest especially being under 6 ft
Not to mention being extremely competitive
Having a desire to win
The growth spurt never came
His dad didn’t look that tall. Odds were against him. Bronny being 6’2 while his dad is 6’9 tells you a lot.
The real Calvin Cambridge.
If only his name was Bronny. He would he a lottery pick.
Bronny was 55th pick. Bronny is more athletic and plays better defense tho.
I hate ai voice overs but the info is nice it just feels so fake.
dude, since my English is not enough for this, this is the most I can do right now, thank you for your comment :)
@BballManiac ah, i see well thats completly acceptable then! Most people who use ai voiceovers are just lazy, but you have a real reason. i won't disrepect that!
His mistake was his confidence. Should have kept his name in the nba draft list after his rookie year. Aint no way an nba team would gamble on him after completing college with no improvement.
I’m sure he had confidence his numbers will improve and maybe hoping for a late growth spurt? Because once he went undrafted, he won’t be able to return to college ball.
Well that sucks I was 5"8 and grew to be 5"11 myself glad to know that's still to damn short these days
5’11 is above average height. I hope you aren’t comparing yourself to NBA players height.
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 no im not most women say 5"11 is short
@@TKIG1 Well, average male height in the USA is 5’9.
This story breaks my heart. But at the same time, it just makes me appreciate, respect, and admire Allen Iverson even more.
I agree with you
Allen Iverson was super athletic, lol.
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 But this kid was no slouch, either. Seemed pretty athletic to me.
Wow it was really his height🤦🏿 if he was like 6’4 he might have had a chance to go 2nd round wow 🫡 God Bless✝️
@@YoriS.A.M.10 Of course it was his height because he didn’t really excel in any field of basketball… common sense bro.
They really put a lot of pressure on him to succeed.
If he was that height with that talent at 5 or 6 years old, I'd be impressed
Iverson was also short for NBA... but.... At the end he succeded as a star
Its not about the results its about the journey
What about Muggy Bouges? He is 5’3”.
Mugsey was the exception, you will never see that he happen again.
Mugsy was an outlier. Like if you drop 100,000 eggs from a 50 story building, one of them may not crack. The rest will. The one that did not crack is Mugsy.
He was successful in his own right. He was just short to make it in the NBA.
Muggsy Bogues was in the NBA for years at 5'3" tall.
Reminds me of Riley Freeman 😂
I’d like to see him play in the Big 3
He could have played overseas and made millions... basketball is global
I remember young Isaiah Thomas and Jamal Crawford working with him
I feel like this guy just strung us along to a nothing burger video lol.
😅😅
Hit his peak to early never grew
You ain’t fooling me, that’s Kawhi 😂
I remember this video of Agusto
You have to be gifted and talented to go to the NBA. Have to be extremely good with at least 2 skills. Everybody cant go baby
If I fail at something I just move the goalpost and call it a success
He could’ve made the league he had pretty good athletic ability
They literally had a 5’3 player in the nba 😂😂
Nah … probably overseas
@@lightskinplay7529a very athletic and very skilled 5 ft 3 player. He wasn’t just some random dude that was that short. Mugsy could really hoop.
@@williehodges4859 No way in hell this kid was more athletic than spud Webb, Nate Robinson, Allen Iverson. Those guys won slam dunk contests. AI got 4 scoring titles in the NBA. No comparison.
If he only had more assists
in the college years he would definitely be drafted.
TBH, he wasn’t athletic enough to make up for height…
Theoat impressive thing about this kid qas that at 11 he could run the mile in under 5 minutes he was running like a 4.50 or something which is craaazzzzyyy for a fifth grader.
my boy riley freeman
flame burnt too quick
he probably shouldnt havee done those 200+ reeps workouts as a kid
Stfu bro u not an athlete those are perfect
Doing bodyweight workouts does not affect your growth if you aren't destined to grow taller you won't it's life
@@kareemdia1935 Genetics play a big role.
I'm surprised he didn't just transition overseas ball he could of deff played over there
I understand being sad if you missed 3 shots in a row at the middle- high school level. But at 11 dayum
damn i remember seeing this dude before.
he could play in the nba, should’ve never withdrew his name
They probably drop him after summer league…
Could’ve went to Europe and played for sure
His height....thats all it comes down too....
A.I was the same height! He’s height isn’t the reason he didn’t make the league.
You seriously underestimate AI athleticism. Did you even listen to the video? If you ain’t at least 6’6, you better excel in some categories. This kid didn’t do anything exceptional on the court.
