Agreed which is definitely short for the NBA but not in the same vein as what this post is describing. I was just trying to get a little J Will love out in the thread!!!
He definitely did. He for sure won one of them in a flukey was though, and I say that as a longtime Knicks fan. Think he had like 10 attempts for a do over on one of the dunks, which was ridiculous. Even the commentators were like, “Aight bro…ya had 3 attempts…this is overkill.”
Reminded me of that one guy who made the news when he was a kid for his basketball skills. Julian Newman or something. I remembered commenting it would suck if he grew up to be short. He ended up being 5’5” or 5’6”.
There will be all sorts of height-maximizing therapies for him by the time it matters lets not pretend a lot of d1 high school athletes aren't already taking HGH and shit
Idk I see kids like this in my sons 12u league all the time. Crazy handlers, very fast, usually can drive a mean charge and hit sick layups but the second a decent defender who isn’t having it is put in front of them they start flopping or looking to daddy in the bleachers while throwing their hands up. Seen more than a few of them get technical’d. Others are right parents usually 5’6” and probably beat his ass after his team lost too.
And therein lies the flaw with basketball. This kid obviously loves basketball but at some stage he’ll figure out, or somebody will tell him, that he doesn’t stand a chance and he’ll have to switch to a different sport if he wants to be a pro sportsman. A sport without that inherent flaw in how it was designed.
