Everyone has doubts about Mikey which is very understandable.However in my opinion he has always been talented. There comes a time when the spot light is on you and you may make mistakes. He proves that theory. Kid making multi millions with chattering going around he may make it to the NBA that’s enough to make a kid go crazy. Even an adult!

The justice system is a complete joke. I get 7 months in jail and 4.5 years probation for trying to spend a fake $20 bill, this guy gets community service for shooting at/trying to kill people. In the courtroom, it shouldn't matter if someone plays basketball or is rich/famous, but apparently it's all that matters.
"this guy gets community service for shooting at/trying to kill people" That's a lie - he was firing at trespassers who threatened him and refused to leave his property.
@@Chad-xs2de Bro be real lol he fired at them multiple times WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING AWAY, hitting their car multiple times.

This dude is insane and lacks self control.
At some point people have to understand that most of these “prodigies” are just kids who peaked earlier than their colleagues. Once their peers catch up, or they advance to the next level, their perceived dominance disappears. Combine this with the inflated ego, and now endorsements and NIL deals, these kids get caught up in the celebrity way too soon and fail to fully develop their talent.
I was gonna say something like this. It need to get studied man, call it the Newman syndrome. There have been so many young stars getting boosted from a young age like these guys, and when they get to a certain age it all gets to their head and the career is over. We ruined their career by gassing them up from way too young, they didn’t get to enjoy their youth and it shows
@RobertDGordon Honestly, even though I think Mikey was still good enough to make it (my opinion), you’re most likely right. It was definitely the case for Julian Newman. It could’ve easily been the case for Mikey. However, if he was good enough, what a waste of talent. 🤦🏽♂️
after his junior year you can clearly see where he started to slack. he made a big impact as a freshman and then came back showing clearly he wasn’t the same. That’s why people say he is clouted
Theres a super weird culture nowadays of trying to be "gang" or whatever it is.. Mikey,Ja.. even Melo Ball.. Like youre from a stable, middle class family, youre not from the hood mate lol
Some people can’t handle fame too early it shows how mature Lebron & Kobe etc… were as they were very focused on the major purpose getting to the league.
In Grade 7, I was seeing clips of Mikey’s highlights all over IG. Bro was just too much of a Youngboy fan and didn’t realize how privileged he is to have the chance to become a future NBA player, it’s wild that he got arrested for all that because the guy was literally the top 5 prospect 🤦🏻♂️

Doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player bro. He just made dumbass decisions like lots of people do, even though he’s like 2 years older than me and kind of fumbled his career in the dumbest ways possible 😭💀
bro got used to the lifestyle before even making it gaining millions on social media parents letting him do whatever like full sleeve tattoos which was sad because his freshmen year he said he was so focused on making it to the league he wasn’t going to prom
It's the Social Media Curse. Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, have got to keep these kids grounded and humble when they are gifted. When we don't this is what we get and worse.
The issue on the baskeball court is that he benefited from having early development on his body that put hiim above majority of other kids, then the years went by and he stayed the same height weight and ability, and when it was time for him to played better competition he got exposed cuz hes a undersize guard with no shooting ability no playmaking, then he just stayed playing lesser competition that he can exploit to make himself look better.
you aint seen ausar thompson, scottie barnes, kawhi, etc. i hate when people say this typa stuff when these dudes going crazy on defense despite all the defensive rule changes that literally make it easier for offense to score.
This is another incident where hoopers shouldn't be hyped up by their "potential" rather what they bring to the table. Back in the day, you get a minimum and the more you prove yourself, that's where you reach your max offers. Prove your worth, money, fame comes after.. This is what social media does to you, vultures preying down on you.
Covid cancelling the California season and him transferring out of state to play was the start of his playing career going backwards. He got opportunity at UCF now to prove he’s got the game to go with the hype. Hope he takes full advantage of his second chance. I’ll be rooting for him.
Imani is light up G league. I don’t think he’ll be a bust when he gets a shot. Mickey is a complete and total bust. No love for the game. Maxed out in middle school
Tbh Mikey was good, people just got growth spurts and gotten better. It’s pretty simple, like literally he was 6’2 freshman athletic and then people in his class started having growth spurts 6’7-6’10. Mikey got talent he just don’t want it fr
I think social media is ruining a lot of potential pro athletes…kids are becoming famous and somewhat rich before they’ve proven anything at the pro level, so they get arrogant, spoiled and complacent….i really miss the days before smartphones, humans were a lot more humble
he's a great athlete, but his issue to me is he plays like a guy who is bigger/longer than he actually is; what he doing against h/s athletes will not be consistently replicable versus college level guys...he aint getting to the rim consistenly or eating off that pull up game like that imo but he is a scorer high end athlete who can handle..but his creation defense and shooting is iffy
I bet he didn’t even have a book bag in highschool 😂😂 i went to school with an NBA player and he didn’t have to take test or quizzes. He use to just sit there on his phone
UCF recently just produced a lottery pick in the draft not long ago and are in power 5 conference They’re not there but eventually they will be, but saying they never produced any NBA talent is cap when they just did lol

@@HoopDungeonDude clearly sounds like a hater with his biased commentary. Regardless, UCF is a power 5 conference school and they play good schools. If Mikey can show up and do numbers, he’ll be drafted.
He plays in an area where there is no talent to be fair. I love that he plays for SouthBay but the competition level is not steep out here. I've always been curious how far he is going to go in the pros.
as much as people say the gun charges killed his career, he didnt have much basketball to go with anyway. Guys like Emoni, Seventh Woods, Jaylen Hands all were great HS ballers. Regardless of the charges, if he grows up this year, shows dominant basketball, I dont think the league will care. They'll draft him
@@Chad-xs2de Ranked 49th in the 2023 class with many holes in his game and unproven against top talent. He'll most likely go undrafted and will have to show effort and willingness to work in his game. Talent is now overflowing even in the G-league. He aint better than those guys. Not yet at least
You can't enable youth with talent, it will create issues as the grow older. He has the wrong team around him. If he truly is a generational talent, someone should have built a team that has his best interest. Build his character, discipline, hard work and let the basketball and fame handle itself.

ANYBODY that wasn’t a teenager and could really hoop… KNEW Mikey was never like that!!! Terrible shot selection, zero defense, spotty shooter but a great athlete, doesn’t get others involved enough to play pg but too small to play the 2 AND can’t shoot well enough!!! I wish him the best tho, good thing is he is going to play for a pg coach in Penny so he can learn the game… Edit: up smfh never mind
@@ajatathemuthat doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. He’s still a fucking idiot for shooting at a car full of kids while it was driving away. Don’t give me he’s young excuse either, I don’t know anyone personally stupid enough to pull some shit like that.
@@matthewgabbana5021 what I mean is that he doesn't flop with the publicity all over him like it did with Newman. Not saying they play similar, just similar fates. If anything, Mikey could end up like Emoni; good but not good enough to make an NBA roster.
These highlight kids have no game. They are not team players. And they never play against defenses or play defense at all. No wonder European players will start dominating the world of basketball.
He was very athletic and gifted as a 14 yr old. The level of competition is suspect. Put him in an inner-city school and we would never know who he is. He would have been just another player. You take a kid with his skills and put him in the suburbs against that type of competition and he will look like a GOD.
honestly it got to his head i feel... there are many other reasons as well but i feel one of the biggest is that everything was getting to his head as in just feeling like he that guy and forgetting that just cause he at the top doesn't mean he can easily be overlooked in the future... and we clearly see that now... one of the biggest i have seen nba player mention is just working hard and stay focus and the person i feel pushed that ethics the most is kobe and i aint saying mike aint work hard he def did but he would let his self get sidetracked and involved in some situations that he shouldn't be involved in.
Fame isn’t natural. Also by his looks he probably had a lot of adult women throwing themselves at him. It was going to take a village to wrap his arms around him to protect him. Also question why do we think LeBron didn’t take him in. It’s not uncommon for that to happen
@@jasiribandele5601 i wish i could say that bout mikey but from the start it was clear his heart wasn’t in the game. he only bought into the hype and his offensive play (which was fantastic, dude could score from anywhere). but he was always a huge liability on defense and only cared about himself looking good. it hurts to say that because i genuinely liked mikey as a player, but it’s true.
@@enigmaticglo its not true you dont know him at all lol all his trainers and coaches says all he does is train and workout that doesn't sound like a person whos heart is not in the game stop acting like you know these people you only know what they let you know you havent even seen him play college ball yet goofy
The title is dumb. He still finished his hs career as a top 100 player. He simply missed his freshman season through off court stuff. Posting a video with that title is just hate
@mattgruber7556 The title is definetly hate. Throughout his entire hs career he was ranked in the top 50 and we haven't seen him in college yet. The off court stuff is unrelated to how good he is as a player meaning so far nothing has happened that would warrant calling him a bad player
Mike is a great player. Man just couldn’t keep his name clean. And although he still has responsibility in what happened it wasn’t completely his fault. Thoses dudes pulled up to his house. I don’t know about you but I would feel threatened if people I didn’t know came to my house to bother me to based on my internet fame. Actually put yourself in his position. You don’t know what those people can or will do. I dont think what he did was terrible.
Whole youtube channel is HOW BAD series says a lot, check his stats his senior season. Just not a good look saying all this shenanigans to try n put a bad spotlight to a kid who is back on track. Just wild at the view YOU have on him, but hey the doubters will be shocked. BTW he was such a dominant passer his senior season so I don't get why that was thrown in there lol covered him his entire senior season and he did a lot to help his teammates. But you had to be there to watch him.
Send him to play in the EBC Rucker in Harlem for a summer. If he can average a double-double then he's ready to prove himself in college and maybe get drafted.
Lil Mike is my nephew, he’s a good kid and I pray he turns it around, he got hooked on lean in high school and that’s what slowed him down and being around the wrong people. He’s an outstanding kid though
Said a few years ago he wasn't a better player than Bronny James and time has shown that to be true. He's a ball dominant scorer who can't play off ball, not a great defender, terrible passer, low team basketball iQ. A lot of these kids can't play basketball and it shows in the long run.
He reminds me of a guy that played at my college he comes for the work the background is them get down playgrounds there’s some over seas looks g league with him he can’t that incident get to him he just gotta stay focused
I can see Mikey following Emoni Bates' path - barely getting drafted, lighting up the G League, and then earning a role in the NBA. Here's Emoni in the G League: ruclips.net/video/hBKG_mEuOwY/видео.html

ANYBODY that wasn’t a teenager and could really hoop… KNEW Mikey was never like that!!! Terrible shot selection, zero defense, spotty shooter but a great athlete, doesn’t get others involved enough to play pg but too small to play the 2 AND can’t shoot well enough!!! I wish him the best tho, good thing is he is going to play for a pg coach in Penny so he can learn the game…
Edit: up smfh never mind
Lamelo got California state point record at 92
Mikey broke the California CIF San Diego Section and state freshman scoring record. We should have specified this
dude you gotta do something about this elf garden music.
Too much fake image..tattoos and clothes.When that whistle blow none of that matters.
Make a video about JJ Taylor
Actually good video
Consider every reason why he should be behind bars and he’ll STILL make it to the nba… crazy
This comes off as a little haterish. Not guilty and Memphis was penalized. He's made mistakes but this ain't it.
Wasn’t guilty? I thought he took a plea deal
@@young__blacksmith took the plea on the one felony which makes him not guilty of the 7 other.
@@ajatathemuthat doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. He’s still a fucking idiot for shooting at a car full of kids while it was driving away. Don’t give me he’s young excuse either, I don’t know anyone personally stupid enough to pull some shit like that.
@@ajatathemu g I think you need some better education
@@tysonwelter8803 I am not serious About the 1/8. I was misinformed.
Tbh I didn’t think he was that good back then. He was just hyped up bc he was a YOUNG dunker
Just hope he doesn't become a more athletic Julian Newman…
They don’t even play alike
@@matthewgabbana5021 he clearly wasn’t talking about playing style, damn yall young mfs are actually dumb
@@matthewgabbana5021 what I mean is that he doesn't flop with the publicity all over him like it did with Newman. Not saying they play similar, just similar fates. If anything, Mikey could end up like Emoni; good but not good enough to make an NBA roster.
If you haves eyes Newman never stood a chance at even going d1
I legit never heard about this dude until this video for years
These highlight kids have no game. They are not team players. And they never play against defenses or play defense at all. No wonder European players will start dominating the world of basketball.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard
??? Clearly haven’t touched a fucking basketball in your fucking life highlight kids??? What is you talking about go to an actual game
@@aidencarter687 nope it’s true. Yall Americans are lazy and entitled. That’s also why Team America lost in the finals buddy.
Being a “team player” and a good defensive player is obviously important, but doesn’t mean Mikey isn’t a good player.
He was very athletic and gifted as a 14 yr old. The level of competition is suspect. Put him in an inner-city school and we would never know who he is. He would have been just another player. You take a kid with his skills and put him in the suburbs against that type of competition and he will look like a GOD.
He’s still a great player and he’s going to the nba in 2025
😂😂😂😂😂
i seen mikey williams at my gym the other day i stg and it caught me by surprise cause i forgot he transferred to ucf and i live by ucf lol
Dood went Ja Wick lol 😂😂😂
honestly it got to his head i feel... there are many other reasons as well but i feel one of the biggest is that everything was getting to his head as in just feeling like he that guy and forgetting that just cause he at the top doesn't mean he can easily be overlooked in the future... and we clearly see that now... one of the biggest i have seen nba player mention is just working hard and stay focus and the person i feel pushed that ethics the most is kobe and i aint saying mike aint work hard he def did but he would let his self get sidetracked and involved in some situations that he shouldn't be involved in.
Fame isn’t natural. Also by his looks he probably had a lot of adult women throwing themselves at him. It was going to take a village to wrap his arms around him to protect him. Also question why do we think LeBron didn’t take him in. It’s not uncommon for that to happen
He was going bust anyway lol. These new kids all hype lol
Then what was it called back then?
Nothing in his game says he will be a bust you jus a hater😂😂😂
@@jasiribandele5601 i wish i could say that bout mikey but from the start it was clear his heart wasn’t in the game. he only bought into the hype and his offensive play (which was fantastic, dude could score from anywhere). but he was always a huge liability on defense and only cared about himself looking good. it hurts to say that because i genuinely liked mikey as a player, but it’s true.
@@enigmaticglo its not true you dont know him at all lol all his trainers and coaches says all he does is train and workout that doesn't sound like a person whos heart is not in the game stop acting like you know these people you only know what they let you know you havent even seen him play college ball yet goofy
They giving these kids too much attention and money. They loosing them selfes.
The title is dumb. He still finished his hs career as a top 100 player. He simply missed his freshman season through off court stuff. Posting a video with that title is just hate
He’s simply isn’t that good
@Monaco253 Dunno if he's nba good but what I know is that he's definitely not bad.
It’s not hating to point out that he regressed while playing in High School and his off the court decision making is concerning to put it mildly
@mattgruber7556 The title is definetly hate. Throughout his entire hs career he was ranked in the top 50 and we haven't seen him in college yet. The off court stuff is unrelated to how good he is as a player meaning so far nothing has happened that would warrant calling him a bad player
True, but he did kind of fuck up his career from those charges though. But he could bounce back from it idk 😂🤷🏻♂️
Bro let the hype get to his head
Bro just wants to mew
He turned cocky and pretencious thanks to social media.
Yea the Mikey hype was crazyyy, to much pressure on a teenager
It’s America that’s normal there 😑
all went wrong when he chose the number 1
What a sad outcome but tbh he was playing with small schools no competition and I’m not hating I’m being realistic
This is just proof why lamelo ball was so special. Everyone thought thought he wasn’t gonna make it to the NBA
Mikey walked so Ja could run (in terms of going from hype to hood)
He’s reminds me of jace Carson from swagger
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard
The fact that y’all choose to slander a young black man over a mistake y’all don’t know what that young man go through behind closed doors doors
He was seveth woods. Had his man body at 14.
he looked like he cared more about looking gangster than actaully being a team player. There's no way he's the next derrick rose.
When talent fails to work hard
Mike is a great player. Man just couldn’t keep his name clean. And although he still has responsibility in what happened it wasn’t completely his fault. Thoses dudes pulled up to his house. I don’t know about you but I would feel threatened if people I didn’t know came to my house to bother me to based on my internet fame. Actually put yourself in his position. You don’t know what those people can or will do. I dont think what he did was terrible.
Whole youtube channel is HOW BAD series says a lot, check his stats his senior season. Just not a good look saying all this shenanigans to try n put a bad spotlight to a kid who is back on track. Just wild at the view YOU have on him, but hey the doubters will be shocked. BTW he was such a dominant passer his senior season so I don't get why that was thrown in there lol covered him his entire senior season and he did a lot to help his teammates. But you had to be there to watch him.
Who is that in the beginning who says mikey is his dog. I remember him from before and I want to see where he at nowadays.
Kyree Walker
Send him to play in the EBC Rucker in Harlem for a summer. If he can average a double-double then he's ready to prove himself in college and maybe get drafted.
Lil Mike is my nephew, he’s a good kid and I pray he turns it around, he got hooked on lean in high school and that’s what slowed him down and being around the wrong people. He’s an outstanding kid though
😂😂
Clear the Cheeto dust from your fingers rn
@@ImOccasionallyFunny huh?
hope he gonna be in nba
Facts too much hate
He been had money through deals so he felt like he already made it and that made him lost his drive.
no cap i thought his shirt said " casey anthony" like on some savage shit lmao
Said a few years ago he wasn't a better player than Bronny James and time has shown that to be true. He's a ball dominant scorer who can't play off ball, not a great defender, terrible passer, low team basketball iQ.
A lot of these kids can't play basketball and it shows in the long run.
Imagine the only type of talk your school gets is talking shit about a player 😂 Who even is “Carlsbad” hs. They sound mad asl
He reminds me of a guy that played at my college he comes for the work the background is them get down playgrounds there’s some over seas looks g league with him he can’t that incident get to him he just gotta stay focused
Having seen this kid play in person. He was lazy on the defensive side and just looked for highlights for IG
so pretty much basketball in the social media era
I can see Mikey following Emoni Bates' path - barely getting drafted, lighting up the G League, and then earning a role in the NBA.
Here's Emoni in the G League:

Imagine trying to make your hoop dreams come true, and you gotta play with a cat like this. 😂. You ain't getting no highlights lol
