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
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...
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.
+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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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

@Tre Israel jesus never existed
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 😢
I just got crazy motivated.
Lmao me too
RIP Karen Taylor (Stanley's Mom)
R.I.P stanley johnson mom
Rip to his mom 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😔
R.I.P to his Mom
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
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 😭😭
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.

He is thriving in Detroit. Bright future, dont get hurt, he will be great
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!
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.
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
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
Props to his moms . Being a parent myself. Thats takes lots of hard work and dedication and time . Great vid
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.

Sucks it never panned out for him in the league, when I was a teenager I loved this video.
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.

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!
Arizona bound.
Come to LA. This is my pick and anyone who passes on him will regret it.
This is a good video to watch it changes your whole perspective about you willing to work harder.
Hard works makes perfect
what an amazing mother
Lots of motivation now I need to work even harder please do more
#1 player in the nation to me.
Hard work still comes before success in a dictionary, it's success before work
My boy Stanley Johnson
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
Much Respect To Stan 👌👏
Best player in 2014 Hands Down! #BucketTeam
Amazing piece. All the best SJ
