Coach should mess with him one time and start a game with the shortest kid on the team in his spot.

Nice 2 inch vert

This is about as fair and competitive as the trans swimmer.

His dad needs to tell him to drop his nuts and power that bitch to the rim like an animal.

No more layups. Good grief.

g650Tide•27 months

wow, he can block shots, kind of dunk, AND rebound with no one 12" around his height?!. Holy shite, this dude is a monster. Did you see that one free-throw he made? Nothing but almost net!

Yea sure, but he probably won’t grow much more.

That kid has probably destroyed all chances of several girls ever having kids

He is surprisingly a lot more coordinated than I anticipated before I clicked the video. He is very slow and not very skilled but the guy is only 14-15 years old. With some hard work and skill development he's an NBA lock.

I was about to write the same, he looks like a solid athlete actually.

I’d get a linebacker from the football team and tell him that if that guy’s feet leave the floor under the basket, he comes down on his head.

all of that was dunking and blocking shots -- which comes with the height. At the end, at least we saw his FT shooting, and he has a good stroke, but I wonder if that was edited to show the one FT he made.

One block is a highlight?

BowlJackson•27 months

He's so low effort. Even if he magically stops growing, he'll never develop the skills necessary to make the NBA just lollygagging around like that. He doesn't even look like he wants to be there

It’s probably better for someone that size @ his age to not overdue it in games that early in a potential career. If he focuses more on developing strength, ball skills, and learning the technical aspects of playing the game down low from his height, he has a shot. Kid is destined for some awful ailments later on in life though.

Freak!

Poor kid. Dude is going to be moving like a 60 year old at 19.

Looks like a tall, unathletic homeschool kid playing basketball.
