Stanley Johnson "Work" | An Inspiring Journey of Hard Work & Dedication
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Stanley Johnson is a 4 time California State Champion making him the only player in the state's history to accomplish such a feat at the highest level. We've known Stanley since his freshman year at Mater Dei when he wasn't even a starter on the team. We've seen Stanley transform for a role player to arguably the most NBA ready product in the nation today coming out of high school. You've seen the mixtapes and the improvement in his game from year to year but what you don't see is the hard work and dedication Stanley has put into his craft. Stanley's journey to his 4th state championship and becoming the player he is today is not only impressive but it should also serve as inspiration to all up and coming ball players. Stanley has a poster hanging in his room given to him by his mother and the poster reads "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." There is no secret to becoming great at your craft, it just comes down to how hard you're willing to work.

RIP to his mom who just passed away before she could see her son play in a NBA game...
P
She lived long enough to see her and her son’s dream come true. She was always a woman of faith. She’s in a better place.
RIP to To his mom I can't even imagine how it feels to lose your mother. 😪Stay up Big Bro. She's in a better place.👼🏿🙏🏾
+Jaden House She's in a better place. People still believe this?
+slater1ist thats not even the point, oh my fucking god
+slater1ist L
@Tre Israel jesus never existed
I just got crazy motivated.
Lmao me too
RIP to his mom it is sad that she wouldn't be able to live to see her son play his first game in the nba 😢
Love these documentaries you've been doing
This just motivates me to go to the court/gym and give it my all
excellent mother. this is how you do it
Mr. J1S p

RIP Stanley's Mom, may you rest in paradise, good luck big bro, keep on doing what your doing man, God loves it. God Bless!!
+Elvis Amin yeah Paradise. Jesus said be with me in Paradise. I believe that.
That's good man, have a good day my man, stay blessed!
R.I.P stanley johnson mom
watched this so many times as a kid. dude really inspired me
Stanley Johnson is something special, he will be great mark my words
Hopefully he'll continue his greatness and get drafted to the Lakers ; Lakeshow need a guy like this focused on da game like Kobe
Yes sir
If the Lakers manage to hold onto their Top 5 pick (goes to the Suns if they don't tank hard enough this season) and Karl Towns (my target pick) is off the boards or decides to stay on for another year at UK, then Johnson's the one they should NOT hesitate to grab. Team as it is now will need a proven leader after Kobe steps down, hopefully after this season. Stanley's got that covered and is a very good two-way player on top of that. We shall see how it all goes down soon enough...
They have Julius randle 😭😭
Stanley's Mom is GOLD. Rest in paradise.
R.I.P to his Mom
RIP Karen Taylor (Stanley's Mom)
This guy has been my motivation and my ball role model for months now. Great to see the truth coming out, Playing this game is WORK and if you put it in and take it on as a lifestyle you will progress. 'Hard Work beats talent when talent does not work hard'.
One thing with your quote : this guy works hard but he's also gifted with amazing ability. So your quote should be hard work beats talent if talent does work hard but if talent works hard than it'll be hard work
Jeremiah Gray beat*
I wish my mom/dad raised me like this. But there's still hope, im 5'9 and only 13 and I practice everyday :)
***** its funny because I'm 5'9 and I'm 13 and my old man played in the NFL and they trained me every since I was young for football
I'm 5'9 and 12, I love basketball but I'm Asian so my parents want me to be like something else. And my game is flawed offensively but I can shut people down defensively
Shit you're tall for a 13 year old. I'm 5'10 and I'm 16.
I am 6ft and 13
I was 5ft 9 last summer and I was 12
Rip to his mom stay strong big bro she will watch you shine in the nba
Rip to his mom 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😔
This man is an animal. Better yet known as Stanley "Stanimal" Johnson. His future is definitely bright. Definitely my favorite player coming in to this next college season. Keep grinding Stanley. Respect
Its crazy seeing a teammate go this far. Out of all of us in ryb I knew somebody was going to go far. I played with and against stanley when I was around 10 years old. Me nd him both played for ryb. His mom was hilarious! Hes worked hard his whole life committed to basketball only. Thats tough
So blessed to have a mom who supports him in basketball as she does. I'm crazy motivated
Ill watch this again when hes a first round nba draft pick
Top 5 pick easily
#Jeremy medina u just od neckin him
Jyjhkum
Freed Im back
Man, our team played him in the long beach tourney last year and after you play him you just know he's just destined for greatness
Been in some deep shit lately and took my foot off the gas i never consider my self good enough to join my schools basketballs team,but after watching this and how he got inspired touched me and now starting to this day i will never give up until i reach my goals like he did. This is a great inspiration video and i honestly thank ball is life community to uploading this. This might change my life even, i wont stop nor quit until i prove the people who has doubted me in the past.
Shit mayne I love his mother! The passion and love he has for her child is great :)
Frfr if only. ..
Wish my parents had that kind of commitment to me and my brothers:::-sigh:::It's no wonder Stanley turned out to be the player/person he is now. He'll be a guaranteed Top 5 NBA draft pick for sure next year. Can't underestimate the drive to overcome and succeed against all doubters.
King Kelvin shes watchin him no dout 💯 💯
Stanley is an example of life, not only of basketball
R.I.P Mama Taylor 👏👼🏾
His simplicity and consistency is what I strived to replicate in high school, just studying and mimicking his game did wonders for me, Stanley will always be one of my favorite players
Watching this after seeing him with the lakers. Never lose faith brothers
Congrats to Stanley Johnson; look forward to seeing him in the NBA.
Stanley Johnson is my idol now Ima be a great as I can and I have no idea why this video gets 900 likes when people who play games get 10 times more that's RIDICULOUS! And now Stanley Johnson has motivated me too practice everyday and he's my idol
Had the amazing opportunity to play on that so cal tigers team with stanley. His mom aint lying when she said she used to push him at practice. I remember the team practicing while she made him do laps around the gym for missing a layup or something XD much love to coach kay and good to see big stanley rewarded for all the hard work
RIP Stanley's mom such sad news
Props to his moms . Being a parent myself. Thats takes lots of hard work and dedication and time . Great vid
stanley is going to become one of the greatest sg's ever! idgaf wht anybody thinks, his work ethic is insane at such a young age!
RIP to Stanley's mom! :(
wow, his mom is a GREAT mother and woman
Welcome to Toronto Stanley.
R.I.P Stanley's mom
Nothing like having your family there, especially when they have the fundamentals and experience to help you succeed in what you have a gift in.
RIP KAREN! His mother sadly passed yesterday
It's good that she got to see her son achieve his dream before it happened . R.I.P . How'd she die?
+Swaggy Jee Yes man its so sad this dude is so genuine and he has so much heart for the game its sad how even in your greatest moments things still can happen to try and take you out of it. RIP
+Swaggy Jee Cancer
+mrbballking232 how did she die?
+slater1ist cancer
Greatest basketball video in a while. God bless you stanley!!
Best starting 5 team in the nation with this guy as a starter #BEARDOWNUOFA
I have mad respect for him
i respect stanley and his mother he worked very hard to get to where he is now and this just inspired me to love the game and play it and train more harder.
He will be the best to ever play the game!!!
Respect stanley!!
Opportunities like this don't come very often Stanley you sir are the man congrats and see you in the NBA
I know there is obviously more to it but seeing his heart and work ethic makes me believe he deserved to be #1 ranked after that season. Great player super excited to watch him for years to come.
He is thriving in Detroit. Bright future, dont get hurt, he will be great
Welcome to Pistons Stanley. #DetroitvsEverybody
Rip Stanley moms 🙏🏾
ayyee. what a motivational video. Sadly that his mom's long dream of seeing his son play in the NBA never happened. But at least, her hard work for her son payed off
Awesome figure, his mother
R.I.P Stanley's mom🙏🙏🙏
Man the way this kid is so sportsman even after the win he is consoling to the losing PG.
Class act amazing athlete should be number 1 in top 100 without a doubt THANK you Stanley for making the right choice Arizona!! welcome
Stanley always remember this
"You are here to Serve not to be Serve!!!!!!"
This made me change my whole workout schedule. This was great! Very motivating for young players that are trying to get were Stanley is.
Stan the man
My dad introduced me to basketball when I was little and I did not like it. I went and did karate, now I am 14 and started playing in the 8 grade and this just motivates me to work even harder because later on when I am famous you will all hear my story and what I had to get through to be the best.
Exact same thing for me man. I hope I'll see you in the all American
Me too good luck in your training
It's all a dream ... Only 1 out of a billion can't be the best and to make to all American .... Ehh just study
I am going to make it to the WNBA
How are you doing today?
This is the 10th time I've watched this this kid inspires me
Damn i used to go to school with him and we all knew he could be great when we would play on the school courts with him. But to see the strides he has made and how great he has become is amazing
A cali legend and still in highschool. Wow.
Rest in Peace to his mother 🙏🏿
I been saying Stanley Johnson is the best p layer in his class.. watch when he pro how he separate himself from everybody he is the future in my opinion
Can't wait to see him in the headlines of the Daily paper
He's going to be great
Going to be? I think he already is!
#1 player in the nation to me.
So humble and hungry.
+Aaron David fuck is u saying son
3:04 amstadextriously LMAO
I rewound that like 5 times to make sure she was serious.
We or go back from igf
I think she meant to say ambidextrously. It means that you are able to use both your left and right hand equally. I think she mispronounced it, adding an "s".
Zenxoc Jenovah we all know what she was trying to say but she clearly didn't.. and it wasn't just an 's' she added lol
hahahaha
So motivated and inspired. Basketball is Definately something I have always done and been determined to do. And this just inspired me and just motivated me to do my best.
this video gave me a whole new respect to this dude.. great video
That begin is what I try and live by
what an amazing mother
My boy Stanley Johnson
Stanley should be ranked at least #2 in the nation, possibly even #1. He's a straight BALLER
Hard works makes perfect
Hard work still comes before success in a dictionary, it's success before work
I dislike how kids come & comment im 6 ft & 13 & all that other nonsense, Genetically you're a giant, but in reality you need to be taking advantage of that & getting buckets!
Proud to have you playing for Detroit!!! #DETROITVSEVERYBODY
This is a good video to watch it changes your whole perspective about you willing to work harder.
cant wait to see this dude at arizona! def my favorite player in 2014 class.
Great Documentary.
motivation right here!love this!he can be the top pick next year he's that good and puts in the work!
he will be all star
Sucks it never panned out for him in the league, when I was a teenager I loved this video.
I hope to work has hard as him one day and be as good god luck Stanley!!!!!!!
unforgivable things for the lakers to get this guy plz basketball gods PLZ !!!!
Come to LA. This is my pick and anyone who passes on him will regret it.
Try and make more videos like this is by far my favorite video on RUclips right now I've watched like 8 times now
Best player in 2014 Hands Down! #BucketTeam
Hoping he's around at #8 when the Pistons draft. He will be a game changer!
Y'all should do one on Tyler Ulis being an under 6 foot player racked top 25 in the nation because it's so hard to be so highly ranked with that lack of size
R.I.P To Stanley's Mother 🙏🙏🙏
"i would put a blindfold on him so he could dribble the ball without hands" oh my
Amazing piece. All the best SJ
#goat
You can't be serious if you think I'm talking in terms of mj and bill Russell im talking about the high school level in California he is the best ever 4 rings can't beat that
20 years from now when he probably retired from Nba.. he will be considered the GOAT... just watch
Bryson LXIX you're a fucking idiot
Jeremy Medina you are a idiot walk around looking like 😲
Bball power foward ACA Who the fuck are you nigga u soft
This documentary is fire !
Much Respect To Stan 👌👏
Lots of motivation now I need to work even harder please do more
