I just think for a man in his late fifties, Thon is still a great ballplayer
LMFAOOOOO
Lol
😂😂😂😂
LMFAO
😂😂😂
We ain't letting you hide from that MVP prediction a few years ago
😂
Haha 😂
Thon Maker is Kevin Durant with a 40 INCH VERTICAL?
Who he play for now
@@KrazieSevin waived from cavs
No way..... the future MVP that’s Steph curry with a 40 INCH VERTICAL
very original
Lol
Well he's got the drive now, he has a rival in the form of his brother.
😂ha
Bro give it a rest
Could you imagine being in high school, you and your boy are killing it on your way to state, many late night conversations about going pro when he comes to sleep over, then it comes out he’s a 30 year old Sudanese immigrant
lmao that's insane when you put it like that
Ok and
and so he's not going to be drafted so early. Then young prospect that you thought he was is false, so if Bucks knew that he's already 23, they can maker an informed decision not to select him so early. Compare with Jalen Duren who's really only 18 now, a raw prospect who because he is so young will be given time to grow into his niche.
You were right about him being an MVP. He’s the MVP of his family.
Bruh his cousin makur maker will be in the 2021 draft and will most likely be better
@@Applezz. MVP for finessing the system🤣 if I was 18 as an 8th grader, i would have been shitting on everyone too, and I'm only 6'1🤣🤣
@@bandupzay literally all of them
Now I hope all busts and journeymen from poor places can stay in the league* as much as possible just because of this perspective. Those guys are MVPs for their relatives, even a bad NBA contract is already enough to feed the family.
@@bandupzay Kris Kross were 14 when they did the totally crossed out album and those kids were way better than you.
It’s crazy Thon Maker served in Vietnam after playing with Bill Russell, and is still active in the NBA today.
Lmfao 🤣 bro 😎
I heard he was around when the queen was born, created fire, fought in world war 2, and is still a dominant NBA player
@@itsnotnate420
What makes this joke great is putting the queen's birth before the discovery of fire🤣🤣
Played ball with Jesus too
No, Mike.. YOU thought he was “the next coming of Kevin Durant.”

Yeah he said future mvp too.. Now defending himself.. Always exagerrate things. For clickbait
@@lukeshineman1768 No they didn’t

Hey its ggb!
I never heard it before
I see it pretty easy he's 4 years older w fake documents
Add someone like him in ur kodials series
Imagine being 17 or 18 and then going back to 8th grade

bro why you trying he obviously doesn’t mean it like that smh
So he played 11 years of middle school and high school basketball, I can’t get over that thought
😂😂😂😂

No I think he graduated high school in Perth in 2010, got recognized about a year later and brought over to play ball in Sydney, then brought over to the USA as a freshman in high school while faking his DOB on his passport. Which would make him around 28/29 years old today.
Thought this guy was gonna be MVP like 3 yrs ago
Prolly because his prime age was during his 12th grade year 😂
@@volumeinfinity3824 no he’s going into his prime rn
@@bandupzay sno
@@volumeinfinity3824 😂😂
@@volumeinfinity3824 😂😂😂
The dude was 7 feet tall in 8th grade. Of course he's gonna wreck shit.
of course he was stumbling over his words when the dude asked him about his age, how would you respond to somebody saying you’re 120 years old. there is no good response all you can really say is “i’m not”
Yeah....so say “I’m not”...not that mess of shit he actually did say. Lmao
@@BonyHawksToeSkater to be fair if i was getting accused of that and it wasn’t true i’d prolly feel like people would want a bit of explanation to my answer, it just seems like a really awkward situation
Thats what i said. He wasnt caught off guard, just embarrassed that ppl thought that. But again, the yearbook pics so idk🤣
"Stumbling over his words a little bit"
Yeah...he's a kid on national tv being interviewed at the nba draft.....probably a little nervous.
I’m from Australia and saw him play at my local courts when he was ‘15’ this was back in 2008, i graduated a year before him in 2009 and i’m now 28, i’m 100% sure he was AT LEAST 21 at the time he was drafted
😳
🧢 🧢 🧢
probably played up in age tbh if he is a good player usually happens
Sunny u full of cap
All you haters that think im lying i have nothing to gain by doing so, for reference he was from Sydney and i saw him play at Marrickville PCYC, he was with the coach that was prepping him going to the NBA, you don’t have to believe me
Thon Makers dark secret is that he is Steph Curry with a 0% Three Pointer
😂😂
He actually shoots 32%, about average for the NBA
😂😂😂😂😂
Always thought Greg Oden was in his 40’s when he was drafted
Lol he looked it
FACTS
Saw him play live in the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Two rounds. He looked even older in person. And more geriatric. At the time I figured the awkwardness was because of his height. After seeing him play two games in Rupp, I was convinced he was thirty something.
His body definitely broke down like he was.
Lmao. We went to high school with him at LN. Funny story- The locker situation: So our lockers were arranged in two rows. First row of lockers were about 5ft from the ground and up- the bottom row inches from the ground and up. One year, dude had the locker closest to the floor. As tall as he was, shit was tragic. Like who ever was assigning lockers that year, knew good goddamn well. 🤣
"I said Frank, between me and you how old is Thon Maker? You know what Frank Told me? Thon Makers 137 years old, 137 years old!"
Coming to America the barbershop scene🤣🤣🤣
I was bout to say da same trip 👍🏽
He goated for finessing the system 😂
Lmao
The most telling piece of evidence will be the age he retires at
he'll most likely be out of the nba before he's 30
He gonna retire at 25
@@RandomShowerThoughts he’s supposed to turn 29 this year lol
You never know, his body might hold up better than most people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think hes had a major injury as of yet.
@@TheBaconBasket1 yeah he’s Nilotic and they’re pretty agile. Look at the Kenyan runners. He might play for a long time
imagine he had any relationship in school 😳

Hey mike can you do your nba predictions for the playoffs and awards
This a good vid idea mike
MVP: Thon Maker
MIP: Thon Maker
NBA Champion: Thon Maker
Yesssssss
This might be the most Odd Season in NBA History! I talk about it more in latest video. I just need some motivation so if you could check it out I would really appreciate it 🙏btw I also speak on the Raptors possible downfall
@@MicGoogle last year was easily the oddest NBA season.
i’m proud of u mike. i have been subscribed to u for 5 yrs now when u had like 200k subs keep going man
I ain’t forget you said he would be a MVP 🤨
Kg said it too
He actually never said that...
He never said that 😂
@@bandupzay All of them
@@bandupzay bruh lil mosey better than you
I'm from Perth Australia and legit just yesterday my co-worker was telling me her sister (now in her late 20's) graduated with this dude hahaha. Also in regards to Aussie passports, refugees come to Aus in most cases with almost no documentation, so when they're taken in they are pretty much taken at face value when issued their new Australian documentation. So if he came in and said "I'm this old", and they didn't have substantial proof to say he wasn't then guess what. "Jeez you blokes are bloody tall then ey, imagine that." and boom. The record now says he's that old.
I'm from canada. A small town in toronto to be exact. ( one of the best schools in the world for credit recorvery) so he could get his high school credits therefore get his scholarship, Actually he went to my highschool (orangeville district secondary school) as him and a bunch of other star players came to my highschool (jamal murray) included.
From 2009-2012 I went to school with him....
So why lie ?
@@OlivetheDoge nba teams don't want to draft players in their mid 20's
@@OlivetheDoge A 20 year old or under that's a bit raw is considered a prospect in the NBA, a talent to be worked on and developed even if their game is a bit raw. A talent in their late mid to late 20's that hasn't shown much growth since high school and who's game is still very raw is generally considered to have peaked and to not have much improvement to come. Which tbh is probably why Cleveland waived him shortly after this video came out. Cus now even his listed age is getting to mid 20's and he hasn't gotten much better than when he was "19" so now teams are starting to abandon him to work on new younger draft prospects to see if they have more upside.
Maybe he is a genius who graduated high school at 14. Ever thought of that? haha
This comment underrated
He’s Sudanese so probably not lmao
@@nos4me lmao what
@@nos4me strong racism?
@@nos4me actually south Sudanese are extremely smart
Also never underestimate the power of the internet. People jump on wagons all the time. A random girl made up a story about Kanye and Jeffree Starr and it made news for almost a month lol
several people posting evidence like the yearbook is quite believable. Especially since it showed classmates with their names so it was easy to check if the story holds up. you bet your ass NBA teams before the draft paid big money to have this researched by pro PIs and those apparently came back with the info that the story is true and he is in fact a lot older than his passport says.
Bruh mans was big capping for that nba pay out😂 this man is clearly 23-25 in his draft year, buddy really went back in time and got a bag this is crazy😂
There are a lot of Sudanese kids I even grew up with in Australia who just genuinely didn’t know their age.
There’s someone that I played soccer with when I was like 7 and he was always so good but literally everyone knew he was lying about his age. He’s been on so many professional academy teams lol. Right now he’s apparently 17 but everyone that knows him knows he’s at least 20
Remember when KG said Thon is would be a MVP, I remember how “great” he was in his high school days, so to me, I thought that Thon was gonna be a monster
Lmao there’s like 50 people that said “first” 😂

First
Thon was my favorite player for years. At 7' tall, it was inspiring to see him consistently be the first to hustle down the court. His defensive skills consisted of great footwork, patience, and ability to follow a player's eyes instead of the ball. Pretty reliable 3 point wing shooter, too. I also said he'd be an MVP someday but the age issue proved that true NBA development comes early on. I still think the Bucks gave up on him too early, especially when we needed him more in that Bucks/Toronto playoff series a few years back.
Congrats on the engagement Mike 🥳 🎉 👏 🍾 🎈
Like how Giannas said “he’s a lot than me at the same stage”. Not really, y’all are the same age this whole time.
Lmao
Thon is older 😂

His cousin plays in the AFL (Australian football league)
most relevant comment here
Who is his cousin ??
Allir allir
He also somehow hasn’t changed how he looked from 8th grade so that doesent add up has he grown either ???
i hit 6 feet at the end of 8th grade and i’ve only grown an inch and a half since then. it’s plausible that he could’ve been roughly the same size as in 8th grade, especially since he’s sudanese.
@@RwandaBob yeah but he didn’t get bigger, like he didn’t add much mass
@@RwandaBob only ?
@@zkkauffm9140 he’s probably older, I know people who are 6’0 in it’s grade and we’re still 6’0 in college
Another great vid mike good job
Korzemba back with the CONSPIRACIES!! Just feels right
I taught Maker's cousin, Makur Maker. Good kid. He was a giant even at 12 years old.
The conspiracy might be forgotten, but your video about him being the next NBA MVP will never be.
Great video bro. Upload more of these conspiracy videos
Yessir conspiracy’s are back🔥🔥
I’m not first, I’m not last, but most importantly I didn’t ask
@D0ller 1 you sure he aint talking about the 50 people saying they were first
I was so shocked when i heard this story the first time
Yo bro might go missing with these conspiracy tings haha love your content g

I’ll just say he’s like 2-3 years older then what he was listed.

Good vid 💯
I remember being excited as a Piston fan when they acquired him through the trade with Milwaukee. After watching him play a few games, it became obvious that the guy hadn't had a clue how to play basketball (at the NBA level). He was completely lost out there on the court.
Imagine if thon did live up to the hype, omg how great he could’ve been
Fr 😳😳😳
A day after this video was uploaded Cavs waived Thon...
Nice Video Mike 😁
been waiting for an update on Thon. Thanks, Mike!
Was hoping he'd be the second coming of KG for Detroit, but the Pistons aren't meant for that kind of success.
Bro that picture @ 4:15 of the 30yr old playing high school ball got me dead over here.
Dude looks @ least 40 😅😅😵😅
Right
Stg lol
I recomend you guys to follow the Obama's brothers case in Atlético de Madrid (Spain) and then you tell me if those guys were the age they were supposed to. Great video! ✌
This story is wild as shit. I knew Thon in ninth grade, he was in my home room and English class at Carlisle, I had no idea man was like 20 at that time lmao
Mike is that one youtuber who can entertain you and educate you at the same time
flight is lol don't forget his educational videos lol
Never forgotten by me. Its one of the weirdest stories. Crazy that a 45 year old man got drafted so high
Don’t forget when Mike made a video saying this dude was a future MVP😂😂
Ahhh.. Cavalier extraordinar! Thank you for this video
Nice work 🎇🌪🌠

The Game of Zones episode about this is hilarious
Plot twist: Thon was probably just really smart and he was moved up to the higher grades because of that.
Facts
Thank you! Someone with some actual sense. It's like "um, people, there are some really fricken simple explanations here."
So he was able to skip 6 years worth of classes because he was "smart"?
Idc how good or bad he is, i love watching his highlights and i hope he lands somewhere so i can watch more highlights. More than all that though i hope he's happy.
Conspiracy Korzemba is back!!!
I love mike
He's still a world class talent. What does it matter if he made it easier for himself to be spotted by playing against younger kids? He still made it to the top! Fair play to him and the shady Sudanese agent 👏👏🏿
Exactly. If it results in making millions its not a scam its a great idea!
🤣🤣🤣 goofy as hell
That’s like saying MJ being 16 playing with kids that’s was in the 8th grade 🤦🏾♂️
He looks like an overgrown Jamal Crawford lol
😂😂😂😂
man made like 12 million in the NBA in 5 years... with an average of 14 mins played and 5 points. Props
MIKE THE LEGEND SINCE DAY 1
Before U watch this, just realize this is called thon makers dark secret
Can you start to do what if videos again. And if you do thank you.
Mike🐐
Thon played for a prep school in my hometown Carlisle Academy watched him and his brother practice at the YMCA on a daily base
I mean one of my great grandfathers didn’t know his own birthday
If your 7ft in 8th grade you aren’t going to be growing much physically when you are 20
FACTS
Mike love the videos. @2:30 ish(idk how to time stamp) you said something about how “he’s stumbling over his words... and knowing that in mind” You happened to fail in saying he was just drafted moments ago. That has to be pretty nerve racking, where you’d stumble your words. Knowing that you didn’t say that you could lead the conspiracy which ever way you please. Sorry for nit picking but just thought I’d feed the algorithm
Remember when Thon Maker was a hyped NBA prospect? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
