His father is Shawnta Rogers from Baltimore. Graduated from Southern High School in Baltimore in 1994 and starred at George Washington Univ. Same height. Stop judging someone based on size. The young guy can obviously hoop and earned a D-1 scholarship. A lot of hate on this thread....
@@Deac-wn8vn No problem my brother....lots of mad handles came out of East Bmore. Muggsy - Dunbar Kevin Norris - Lake Clifton Shawnta - Lake Clifton Mike Lloyd - Dunbar Aquille Carr - Patterson And I didn't even bring up true PG's... Pop Tubman - Calvert Hall Sam Cassell - Dunbar Pop and Sam were more true PG's and not so much handles,....
For those of you who say that he started lifting too early, height isn't necessarily in his genes. His dad, Shawnta Rogers, was like 5'4. Darnell was probably not going to be tall anyways, so why not get big and strong as hell?
Who fucking cares if he's short? He's a good baller. And most basketball players are only good cause they're fucking giants. He's better than most tall players. Yall need to stop hating.
If you lift heavy and workout seriously at a young age it can stunt your growth... It's not really great to lift while your muscles are forming and stretching... Believe it or not
He can shoot..pass and handle the Rock like a Wizard..he don't use his height as a excuse but as a advantage..He don't Back down from NOBODY he plays and he puts his heart into every game..i'm 5'9 and he inspires ME
hope he get big,im small and i love basketball but people say im too short so this boy right here is giving me inspiration,im in year 7 and 4'8 and one day i hope i get big.
Does anyone understand how hard it is mentally just to not give af what ppl say cuz ur height, nobody respects u or takes u serious. Kudos to this guy for not giving AF. Bros a savage
That why I love this sport ..anyone with the skill and work ethic no matter the size can ball out their mind ...hope he gets some love want to see this guy go at it with better come cause he seems to hold his own and then some and makes pgs taller then him look silly ...
Why do kids come on here and keep posting their height and ask if it's good? Or brag? It's seriously bizarre to me. It's the equivalent of me saying, "hey guys I'm 30 and balding is that good?"
If people make fun of you because you're short doesn't mean you don't follow your dreams don't listen to anyone if they call you short I believe in you still
One of my teammates is 5'6 and inguardable, came over from China and was one of the best in his School there, which is hard as there are so many pupils in each year!
You never know. Tyrone "Muggsy" Bouges was 5 foot 3 inches. He was the 12th. pick in the 1st. round of the 1987 draft. Washington Bullets picked him up. And they also had Manute Bol on the team too. He was 7 foot 7. So, They had the Tallest and Shortest players in the NBA.
@@user-zv3tb2he1z 😂 Dag, I feel dumb now. That was actually 4 years ago. I just notice it. This was just the first time I seen the video. "a few days ago" I seen a lot of new comments, but didn't even pay attention to how old the video was and the other comments too. My bad... The little dude is still pretty impressive !!!
Dude has some serious talent but at the same time you have to question some of the defence being played, often they don't even contest shots that they could probably block considering how low his release point on the lay up is. Good luck to him though.
Well hen he forces the contact on the defender like that he draws a foul. And if the defender tries to contest the shot even more it will also draw a foul. That’s why he forces the contact, so even if he gets blocked he gets to the line.
He looks 5'1 and it's very common for athletes to lie about height this one kid that goes to my school is like 5'4 and claims 5'8 and another kid is 5'2 and claims to be 5'5😭
This kid is something special and short guard is in his DNA check his whole family resume if he is given a true opportunity he can definitely play at a high level
Even if he doesn't make it to the NBA, that doesn't mean he can't have a successful bball career. The NBA isn't the only place to make money.. His dad had a very successful career overseas.
His I.Q. appears to be pretty good. He can pay D1 if a coach uses him right. The fact that people are comparing him to nba players says a lot. Mugsy Bogues.
I'm a basketball player who is actually 5'2 but I'm still in the 7th grade but no this is amazing for a player of his height but you can guard him in he paint unless he throws up a high floater it sucks seeing this guy not going to the NBA unless he grows a couple more inches possibly
He will make it on a D-1 team, but won't see much burn at all in four years. Offensively he may be able to compete, but defensively he will be too much of a liability. There is now way he can effectively switch onto a big in a a pick and roll. Also if you look at other shorter players D-1 and NBA, the only ones under 6 feet who make it are lightening quick, and I don't see that here. He looks quicker than he is because he is 5'2''.
The reason he is so good is because he may be 5'2 but in his head he is 7'2. He fears no one!
True
Fax
No he's more like 4'2
@Lee JP 87 people think your comment is either dumb or stupid.
Nah more like in his head he's 6'3. He plays a foot larger than he really is.

This aged well
Dad graduated from Lake Clifton...not Southern. But everything else is correct.
@@chriscoccagna5917 U definitely right. Respect....

Muggsy - Dunbar
Kevin Norris - Lake Clifton

Aquille Carr - Patterson
And I didn't even bring up true PG's...
Pop Tubman - Calvert Hall
Sam Cassell - Dunbar
Pop and Sam were more true PG's and not so much handles,....

Julian Newman should play like my guy
Also being 5’2 allows someone to pack muscle on easier than the average person, or at least it gives it the illusion
When Kevin hart has a wet dream.
lol
Shut your bitch ass nerd virgin life
+Mayor of Europe can you chill out
lol
When you're on EliteMixtape, butyou still sit at the kid's table for Thanksgiving.

That's true dude, he's a beast
Truee
He maybe better than some tall players, but he isn't going anywhere
Landon Gregg I'm sure they said the same about Muggsy
Nobody's hating. It's just obvious this kid ain't going anywhere. Not because he's short, because he simply isn't good enough.
I love how he jumps into to defenders. I guess at that height you have to learn to play that way to score.
comming from a 5'2 player myself, its so hard to score against taller. props to darnell!
@@alex-qj2xj how old are u?
Too bad he won't make it into the league if he doesn't grow. It's sad to see amazing talent at short height.
You never know, the shortest player in the nba was 5'3".
U can't say that because mugsy bogies was 5'2 and played in the NBA it's about the work you put in heart over height
Mugsy wasn't 5'2
Brian Jimenez Current NBA trend look for players that around 6'0 and up.
Nate robinson was 5'9 and he still play and the shortest is 5 foot 2 it doesn't matter about the height it is your talent that matters
looks like he started lifting weights waaaay to early
Are you serious China NIGGA? Weight lifting doesnt effect height at all unless it is done unsafely.
***** you know what's good brotha lol.
I know lol
If you lift heavy and workout seriously at a young age it can stunt your growth... It's not really great to lift while your muscles are forming and stretching... Believe it or not
Jamal Wallace lol there's no correlation
He can shoot..pass and handle the Rock like a Wizard..he don't use his height as a excuse but as a advantage..He don't Back down from NOBODY he plays and he puts his heart into every game..i'm 5'9 and he inspires ME
***** only 12? you have time to grow
***** keep eating and taking care of your body
Is he a short person or a tall midget?
My stomach hurts so much laughing dude haha
+Nick Wayne A midget isn't a person
his legs look like short people legs
+Zeegoner das offensive man
I’m a tall midget I think I’m around 5’2 at age 13 hope I grow taller
Why such hate at the end of the day he's going to college for free at a school of his choice and nobody can take that away from him
he looks shorter than 5'2
he does....but they're just big
i think cuz hes big like his arms and legs
He is bro he ain't no damn 5,2
He doesnt. Everyone else is just 6’2 or bigger

Jit lookin like a leprechaun out there. He stealing the ball and some Lucky Charms smh

That why I love this sport ..anyone with the skill and work ethic no matter the size can ball out their mind ...hope he gets some love want to see this guy go at it with better come cause he seems to hold his own and then some and makes pgs taller then him look silly ...
What? This is the last sport you want to be short in. He won't make it to the NBA simply based on height.
nick arndt no one said anything about nba dude. stop hatin so hard
I'm not hatin. Dudes a baller. But height will effect him just sayin. I actually wish he could make it. No hate. All respect for this guy.
Height is just a number
Nah height is how tall u are
Why do kids come on here and keep posting their height and ask if it's good? Or brag? It's seriously bizarre to me. It's the equivalent of me saying, "hey guys I'm 30 and balding is that good?"

he's 5'8 now for everyone saying he's to small search it up and got to max prep basketball stats
He 5'2
his form is so smooth
One of my teammates is 5'6 and inguardable, came over from China and was one of the best in his School there, which is hard as there are so many pupils in each year!
He's short but playing basketball really easily. I love it
If his defense is tight, he might have promise. Kid is legit.
with his hair he's 6'2
This shouldve got way more likes lmao
No hes 5'2 with hair and he's actually 4'5
Such an inspiration!
Damn... And I always complain how Im short...I need to step up my game
Great video bruh . wish y'all could have came to Lewisville this year
Little man, big game!
2:21 R.I.P
He will be on NBA probably at 5 years time.

@@WilliamTwinHyson however i will say this comment didnt age well
that moment when 5'2 kid can kick your ass on 1v1
He's not just short. He clearly has a mild form of dwarfism. Inredible!
Yeah. Has to be genetic dwarfism. He's great.
Nah he just buff and short bruh
Why would he have dwarfism?
It might be an arm thing
Man I'm 5'2" in 11th grade...
He now goes to HS in my 8A region in Ga. Its gonna be interesting when we play him lol. y'all better record us lmaoo
He felt good!..being able to look down on someone like that @0:34
He showed my school wassup
He looks like a good player tbh
Is that Kevin Hart?
Kobe-Wan Kenobi he s 1 inch taller
2 in taller actually
Imagine someone as tall as Kevin Hart and has a basketball dream. Respect.
COMEDY OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE
What was funny I missed it?
This guy is getting Jordan Calls.
Motivation as a 5ft2 guy my self.
How'd it work out?

not his problem that they aint trying
May not be as exciting or as good as Aquille Carr but I like his game overall. Smart ball player
He looks like he can handstand walk the whole floor and squat 500
He looks 5'1 and it's very common for athletes to lie about height this one kid that goes to my school is like 5'4 and claims 5'8 and another kid is 5'2 and claims to be 5'5😭
Little baller y'all
This kid is something special and short guard is in his DNA check his whole family resume if he is given a true opportunity he can definitely play at a high level
The GOAT lil uzi Rogers 🙏🙏🙏
now lets see his defense highlights
amazing
Even if he doesn't make it to the NBA, that doesn't mean he can't have a successful bball career. The NBA isn't the only place to make money.. His dad had a very successful career overseas.
Ahhh his three's doe gotteeemmm... Darrel Rodgers with the three chief Rodgers with the pot
Mad skills.
Walking highlight reel
Dat nigga fast af 😂😂😂
D1 yessir
🎒
Beast mode
He's 5'7" now. That's good.
Joe Klaw oh stfu no he’s not lmao
Idc what anyone says this kid is a beast
His hair makes him 6'3" lmao
Why is he getting smaller to me in the video? i might be 2 high.........He Can PLAY!!!!
I want to this guy to play in the league so fuckin bad
He a walking bucket 🏀
Too beast!
I was waiting to see if he was going to dunk
He cold
Seen this dude play at the local rec center. He is too nasty.
G.O.A.T
He plays D1 now
Am i the only one that thinks he looks cool ?
Darnell you great boy okay
i love him 💙😂
Nice beat
In half of these clips the defenders aren't doing anything. They could easily swatt down half of his layups. He'll get crushed in college.
Welcome to offensive-based basketball. Everybody's Kobe here.
I mean he'll probably just adapt. Hes too quick for anyone to guard honestly
Super chew more like stomped on
Yeah and look what happen when they did he went flying in the air and got the AND 1 lol
john livinglegendYOLO not against smart college players he won't get and ones
When he throws his body into the big guy is the smartest thing I seen anyone do 😂😂💯
i think i went to school with this dude when i was like in 2nd or 3rd grade
Donte Washington let me guess how tall was him 2'3 lol
When you thought you seen it all.....
5'2 that is small I am a 5'2 center for my 5th grade travel team wow.
Did he palm the ball @0:43 what kinda freakish athlete is this kid. 5’2 with big hands?
I don't care what nobody says. No 5'2 nigga should be scoring like that unless the competition is ass.
When you get a D1 scholarship but you can't dunk on a 7 foot rim.
Darnell 4 days
His I.Q. appears to be pretty good. He can pay D1 if a coach uses him right. The fact that people are comparing him to nba players says a lot. Mugsy Bogues.
I don't care how many times he scores if I'm 6'2+ I'm trying to throw every one of his shot attempts
Damn he good
