Just hope if any kids watch they get it wasn't super fast or crazy. They were exceptional for their age, but still kids and these are highlights. Even then they'd make mistakes and miss shots. But then they'd keep working even harder and try to learn more about the game.
Tbh that’s like 11-12 years old, he looks small but normal at that age 😂 Most of the others in this video are a year or 2 older then him so it makes him look even younger
Monk and Zion were monster in 8th. Naz Reid looked like the world’s first 29 year old 8th grader
Wasnt Zion called the phenomenon? He's a crazy strong and athletic player. Looked so old already back then.
@ Haha!
malik monk was on steroids in middleschool
He was probably playing PF back then lol
Facts

He was a recluse’s I think he was supposed to be in 10th or 11th when he was in 8th
For real. Ain’t done that since
Omg the thumbnail Paulo was a cute little boy now he’s a 6’10 monster with mvp potential. Also banchero is such a cool name on a jersey

Chet Holmgren was born in 2002 so he was in middle school in 2014. Anthony Edwards born in 2001 so he was in middle school in 2013.
If you're dunking in middle school you've won in the gene pool
Malik Monk looking like he does now in 8th grade was wild, lol / Bam Adebayo looked like a adult playing with kids
W video.. but since when was ninth grade middle school?
some schools have 6th grade apart of elementary and 9th grade apart of middle school
6th 7,8, and 9th grade can all be middle school grades in some places
My junior high was 7th-9th. So yeah depending on where you are 9th is considered middle school

Just hope if any kids watch they get it wasn't super fast or crazy. They were exceptional for their age, but still kids and these are highlights. Even then they'd make mistakes and miss shots. But then they'd keep working even harder and try to learn more about the game.

Tyrese maxey is destined to be a sixer based on the jersey number he worn
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the jersey number
Emoni was cold
Melo looked like a young Beavis or Butthead 😂😂😂
Edwards is like lil Lebron in Middle School.
Cade Cunningham hasn't changed, that's for sure!
I used to Melo was going to be too short then he had a crazy growth spurt
Monk had to have reclassified at least twice 😮💨
Dude… I’m 5’11 in 8th grade and can barely dunk. How tf was Malik Monk throwing down tomahawks?? 😭

Malik monk had tattoos in middle school
