Why not just move on with your life instead of making a comment like this? If you wonder then just keep that question for yourself, nobody would answer your question because everyone is still questioning the same thing.
I mean he’s the perfect scapegoat on why fans are bellyaching and there’s no new phenom there to excite them again. And what I mean in terms of why, for one, how a basketball player on scholarship is in school like it has absolutely nothing to do with education. Isn’t that a good enough reason to have fans rolling their eyes? And Duke is becoming a joke as a reputable elite academic institution when they are basically wearing a sign that they don’t care about basketball recruits if when it comes to meeting their picky application acceptance standards. People will begin to lose faith in the prestige of how actually smart the rest of the student population is if they are taking in the sort that aren’t even on the level of a 4th grader. Ok, that’s not nice how it sounds, but it’s a swept under the rug oversight that people are just uncomfortable or not informed enough to be brave enough to talk about.
I saw bro play at a high school showcase his senior year. Hes actually good. The issue is his height, and the fact he never learned how to play with 4 other dudes on the court. Every time he got the ball he ducked his head and tried to play Hero ball. He cannot move without the ball. When his teammates had the ball he would spread out he’d follow them around so they’d have to pass it back to him. He just never learned how to play with fundamentals. But. He’s got serious skills.
Sounds like he doesn't though lmao like doing the same dribble move over and over and throws the ball with his whole body to as a shot form... he's dogshit
..So he's *not* actually good. You said yourself he never learned fundamentals. If someone doesn't even have **fundamentals** down, then by definition, they are not good. Basketball is a team sport; you being able to dribble really fast doesn't mean you play good with a team in an actual team game. His loss at IMG Academy was more than enough proof that he's actually terrible (look up the game on here). He needs to put the ball down & go do gymnastics or something.
But what is he actually good at? Dribbling 20 times in place as he struggles to get by his defender? I've yet to see him beat his man 1 on 1 against actually good defenders, usually just winds up chucking up an airball. Yes his height is a problem, but there are short players with 100x the skill level as him.
@@ibeethatoneguy7807he's not Muggsy lol. Muggsy was insanely strong and insanely athletic for his stature. Julian is neither. Muggsy was an excellent playmaker and had good fundamentals. Julian doesn't. Lastly Muggsy had natural talent-Julian didn't. He worked hard and was basically raised to play basketball from the moment he could walk. He didn't have the natural talent of an NBA player
Years ago, I used to run a sports store and one of my teenage employees told me that Julian Newman is going to be a superstar in the NBA. I walked him over to the whiteboard and I wrote down Julian Newman- NBA - never. I don’t work there anymore, but it’s still up there.
His height is not the issue. Aquille Carr is around his height and played college ball and overseas league. Julianne has great ball handling skills but doesn’t apply to create space and pass his defender. He relies too much on shooting 3’s which he is mediocre.
Aquile Carr is athletic and explosive as hell. puts Newman to shame. Even Crimestopper is having trouble with a roster spot. Newmans problem is his playstyle, his height, length, and athleticism.
@@BeyondtheBounceYThis father is an issue as well. He used his son’s early age fame to build a brand that did nothing but get in the way of both his children’s ability to play and continuously improve. Its horrible.
Aquille wasn't lying about being 5'6", Julian definitely is lol. But that's still not an excuse because there's a D1 guy out there who's actually shorter than Julian. Darnell Rodgers.
That's why when people football or baseball is harder I always get pissed Like even to get a chance of playing in a highschool league you have to be in the top 0.001% genetic wise in basketball And out of them only 0.0001% make it to the NBA
@@Dalauan_Sparrow it's harder because your opponents are all genetically gifted and among the greatest human in terms of height and athleticism Which makes it very hard to play
no he's the worst kind of ymca player that takes all the fun out of pick up games by doing crossovers at mid court and refusing to pass even if he had 5 defenders on him.
The ego and overdribbling definitely didn’t help him, but his lack of athleticism and overall size are the biggest factors. You can overcome the first two with the latter two to an extent. You can’t coach size, and you can only increase athleticism so much.
It was not his height nor skills. His mindset was just not that trained properly. Newman is the example of why you should manage expectations and protect your kid from flattery.
I don't get it. When you are the father and you are nowhere in the basketball height yourself and you train your kid in basketball??? I know there are some short players in the NBA but if we are being realistic that odd is very low and almost impossible. Newman would done so well had he played another sport like soccer where skills are over physical size.
In 4th grade, my son began playing basketball. Despite being a terrible coach, one thing he said remains true today... Don’t worry about the kid beside you, just put in the effort and work hard. Regardless of the kid’s current skill level, things will change once everyone catches up. I share his perspective. When my son started playing high-level AAU, he showed promise and started occasionally. However, in high school, he excelled and became the top scorer for his school, a record that might still be unbroken today. They’ve been to district four times and come out on top twice. At State, they came in second. The harmful effects outweigh the benefits when kids are labeled as phenoms. Among all the kids he played with and against, three of them reached the NBA, although they were simply playing basketball. I wished LeBron took his own advise and let the kid just play.
Just seen him at the rec community center today in Las Vegas doing drills with his dad like he training for the league still lol . he wouldn’t run in a full court game with us though, had to push him off the court . No bs ..
@Cwavy_2 Being small wasn't the issue, it was his dad and his "celebrity" status that got to his head. He was doomed from the start with his dad using him for $ and notoriety 🤷♂️
He could of gone D2 somewhere if he would of played the correct way as a traditional point guard. He should of created more for his teammates, he definitely can hit the open shot. Definitely daddy’s fault. Parents should never be their kids high school coaches. Pewee league is ok but never their high school coaches.
Nba roster? He honestly would have trouble making a D3 roster. Anyone who has a slight understanding of basketball knows why he doesn’t make it. He’s to small and doesn’t have the athletic ability to make up for it. We don’t even need to talk about his defense. That’s all fine though, he can make a great living being a TH-cam baller. No shame in it, but he ain’t a college prospect let alone NBA.
If you ever watched the mighty ducks franchise in the 90’s, in the first two movies the ducks were never the most talented team, but they gained notoriety and succeed through gimmicks. However in the third movie where they became teenagers, the gimmicky play that they were known for was no longer effective and they had to learn how to play real hockey. Julian’s game never evolved past the gimmicky style of basketball ball that got him noticed when he was a kid and the nepotism created by his father made him uncoachable.

Blame your parents, he’s 5’7 and sister 5’0. And you wanna make them prodigy’s, understand genetics, and should married different woman if you wanna raise your kids this way. Kids were set up to fail.
I think his issue was that he never grew physically… and his game also never took that next step you know.. he never developed more and I think a big part of that was his dad.. i think he’d be better if he went into like basketball entertainment kind of like professor live type content.
Even if he was tall, he still wouldn’t make the nba most likely. He *might* make a good college team but that’s probably it. His selfishness is wild. One time he played lamelo on spire and when he was off the court, his team ended up actually playing better. He used to average more assists before but now his dad really influenced him into just chucking up shots. Also, his attitude would definitely push away coaches and scouts from choosing him.
He wasn’t “trash” and he’d beat 99% of his critics 1v1. He, alongside millions of teenage hopefuls, wasn’t pro or scholarship material. Happens. Thankfully, he was born in an era where guys who weren’t pro material can still make a living playing basketball with the money guys make on social media.
“He’d beat 99% of his critics 1v1” 🙄 1. Basketball is a TEAM sport and this kid not only was terrible @ fundamental team ball, but was not good enough to dominate in a league with gifted athletes/teams that rank. 2. Dude would not beat any actual ballers in (pick a hood), USA. He’s average at best when matched against the urban rank & file.
i’ve been playing basketball for 4 years im 5’6” and 16 and even i can touch rim like you’ve been training for that long yet you getting beat in athleticism by a rando
When it comes to basketball, “Height” really doesn’t have that much to do with how you play the game. Take Muggsy Bogues for instance. Well, Muggsy Bogues stood 5”3, and he played in the NBA for 14 seasons when the league was extremely physical. And the reason why Muggsy was able to play that long in a physical era against some of the greatest basketball athletes in the world at that time is because he was a TRUE POINT GUARD! Muggsy had speed, quickness, ball handling, court vision, top level conditioning, a great passer, a floor general, leadership skills, a good teammate, high level basketball IQ, was an excellent defensive player, could start the break, finish and knew how to get his teammates involved to make shots… Julian Newman is the complete opposite of that! Julian’s mindset is on “SCORING” and being a showman more then becoming a true point guard, and that’s what holds him back. If he had basic point guard fundamentals, and develop his basketball IQ into being a real point guard, then we would probably see him playing Pro. And yes, maybe the streetball route or sports entertainment like the Harlem Globetrotters may be a good option for him.
There is too much unnecessary attention paid to this kid. The simple fact of the matter is this, when everybody was young and equally small, training and hard work would take over. Years later, everyone else grew up, but he stayed in middle school both skill wise as well as his small physical statue.
JJ Barea is 5 ft 8 and had amazing NBA career. He also have the same stutter dribble and shots. This just shows you the willpower, training and discipline to get to the NBA.
His dad failed him when he made him focus on basketball knowing he wouldn’t be tall. He’d be better off playing running back or playing baseball. He could’ve atleast gotten farther just off his work ethic
Yeah. Say what you want about Lavar Ball, but he never made his kids look bad, only himself. While Jamie Newman made both himself and his son look bad.
He was great at his size and stature. That's it. The thing was he stopped growing when others were experiencing growth spurts. Hence, his speed and physicality were capped out as other defenders are simply longer striders and longer defenders which is harder to be out-dribbled by Newman. Needless to say, pro-level players would outperform him at a better efficiency. As for his deficiencies, they were not developed due to the fact that he played varsity at too young of an age. By constantly playing against older and bigger guys, he was not afforded the opportunity to learn how to play effective defense as he would always be out-muscled. Passing development would also be hindered as his defenders often towered above him, blocking his vision adding on the woes that Newman was not physically stronger and would have difficulty making long and strong passes. Finishing at the rim is also not feasible for the same reasons, hence not developing it too much. As such, he can only work on the only skillset that would keep him on the varsity court, which is speed and long range shooting.
You nailed it… Players can get by in spite of their deficiencies, at least in high school/Jr. college (especially when your dad is your coach lol), but the game is drastically different in D1 and even more so in the NBA. Upper echelon programs are, down to the last, team centric and highly structured, two things ol’ Julie has displayed a strong aversion towards. If that isn’t enough, he’s ridiculously undersized (even for his mid-market high school team), his basketball IQ begins with a zero and a decimal point, he is woefully lacking in maturity and unable to realistically evaluate his ability/potential. It’s extremely difficult to get a player to improve on their weaknesses when they refuse to acknowledge that they have any… I am not trying to bash the kid or be an asshole, I am just sharing my opinion like I would if I were asked for an abbreviated scouting report on Julie.
Dyckman basketball game is a good example. Few years ago, a group of Chinese street baller played formal game there. One of the player who scored a lot enter the CBA but he is still struggling now. Therefore, no need to expect too much about Newman as he is not even as good as other Chinese street ballers. Also, I agree one of the points in the video:dribble. He really dribbles for dribble. He dribbles with no purpose. You can see CP3, Curry, Irving or any guard, they play for fake, pass, crossover within the plan. But Newman really played for nothing.
Im partially aware of him, im a casual basketball fan. I dislike seeing folk not achieving their potentials, but the way i watch him play, it seems he never wanted to go to the next level, like he was just a talented person that has potential cruising through basketball because...who knows
his father is the key reason for his rise and fall, did him a collossal disservice by programming him to think he was something he wasnt, he doesnt even come close to being as good as Spud Webb
this and the fact that he is definitely not a good coach...other than developing his kid's basic skills, he should've let him go a long time ago to train with a real coach for more advanced skills
Lack of height also leads to lack of reach. For example, I’m 6’1. They say your wingspan is supposed to be your height. My wingspan is 6’4…..that’s the case for many nba guards, their wingspan is even bigger than their height, he ain’t getting a shot up, especially shooting from his chest like that
When you have talent but you’re short, have a terrible attitude, live like you’re entitled, and don’t improve your skills, you rarely, if ever, make it to the NBA.
Well being honest he can shoot, but if your dad is the coach, gives you a continual green light, plays at a low level of competition, scoring over 30 a game isn't really too unexpected. Especially with the 3 point shot. Bottom line is, he can really play some hoops, but he never grew, and he isn't an elite athlete. Super small guys who have made it like Bugsy and Spud are off the charts elite athletes. This guy is not.
A juggler can handle balls really well, but it doesn't translate to baseball. The kid was hyped up by people who had no clue about the game of basketball. His father for 1, but Ellen, Steve Harvey, GMA, and the average TH-cam viewer were his promoters. Normies know two things about bball. If you're tall or you can bounce the ball a few times while running, you are the next MJ. I feel sorry for the kid. He and I both wish he had a good dad who didn't see him as a meal ticket.
his father uses his kids as a walking brand for his company, being his coach basically all his basketball career only allowed him to play more meaning more exposure. not to mention the daughter also had a basketball career because of this, but after the whole Newman family thing faded out, she started doing more explicit things that I won't get into. But give her a year and she will have a link in her bio.
basket-bieber, he a lil goofball, way too much ego far too overblown for his minimal level of talent! I agree he could be the kind of showman who could play with the globetrotters if he worked on it 🤭
He was never a genius. He's the product of a father who doesn't understand how basketball is played and trained his son in some broken form of basketball. All he know how to do is do dribble drills, which I'm sure his father thinks is the height of playmaking. His shot never changed even though its aparent the release is too low and too slow for someone of his size. Basically, Julian was gassed up and let down by his father. If we all trained the way his father made him train, yeah we would all be high-school "prodigies".
Trash might be too harsh. Dude can ball. Im pretty sure you cant guard this dude on a 1v1. He is just too small and anyone small wouldn’t really thrive in the modern NBA.
I used to really think this kid was the best but I now realize that all he doing is ballhawking , shooting highly contested 3 pointers , and doing dribble moves that create no separation at all so he tries to run around his opponents making it seem like he has so much speed but he so small he doesn’t go anywhere
It’s unfortunate his father went all in on basketball. If he committed all that time and dedication into a sport where size doesn’t matter he could have been a GOAT
Just keep in mind, people still talk about Julian, while they have forgotten about O.J. Mayo.... His father syphoned every ounce of clout out of his Julian's potential... If nothing else, gotta respect the hustle lol.
I mean playing against competition like that at 9, 10,11 even if I am put off by his shenanigans, that’s indisputable acclaim of his abilities already. What has me scratching my head is how guarding him was not a daunting task when he was an upperclassman. He only had that crossover to go to and the rest of his came from circumstance of the conditions. Then we saw how with what film we see him rather failing at bada$$ery like if he had hit a baseball home Run and just looked at what he just did as though he’s thinking “Yeah, goddam right I’m good”. But yeah it’s one thing to wish that but another to celebrate that way over some in game stat that was rather not impressive but still counted.

Bro is not 5’7 lol I heard he like 5’4
5’2 at best 😂
I say 5’3 i met him im 5’7 i stand over him lol 😂
He’s a solid player tho. If he would have just been a pure point guard and not try to be a SG he won’t have went overseas.
He wasn’t “trash” and he’d beat 99% of his critics 1v1. He, alongside millions of teenage hopefuls, wasn’t pro or scholarship material. Happens. Thankfully, he was born in an era where guys who weren’t pro material can still make a living playing basketball with the money guys make on social media.
“He’d beat 99% of his critics 1v1” 🙄
1. Basketball is a TEAM sport and this kid not only was terrible @ fundamental team ball, but was not good enough to dominate in a league with gifted athletes/teams that rank.
2. Dude would not beat any actual ballers in (pick a hood), USA. He’s average at best when matched against the urban rank & file.
6:25 Julian loves to dribble the air out of the ball. This way the best way to defend him is to stand in front of him.
The fact that you’re still making a vid in 2024 about Julian Newman is crazy
People still wonder about him
tbh, even if he's tall enough to play in the NBA. no team will draft him
i’ve been playing basketball for 4 years im 5’6” and 16 and even i can touch rim like you’ve been training for that long yet you getting beat in athleticism by a rando
Hope you enjoyed the video, working on a video on why Jason Kidd should get fired at the moment.
When it comes to basketball, “Height” really doesn’t have that much to do with how you play the game.
Take Muggsy Bogues for instance. Well, Muggsy Bogues stood 5”3, and he played in the NBA for 14 seasons when the league was extremely physical. And the reason why Muggsy was able to play that long in a physical era against some of the greatest basketball athletes in the world at that time is because he was a TRUE POINT GUARD! Muggsy had speed, quickness, ball handling, court vision, top level conditioning, a great passer, a floor general, leadership skills, a good teammate, high level basketball IQ, was an excellent defensive player, could start the break, finish and knew how to get his teammates involved to make shots… Julian Newman is the complete opposite of that!
Julian’s mindset is on “SCORING” and being a showman more then becoming a true point guard, and that’s what holds him back. If he had basic point guard fundamentals, and develop his basketball IQ into being a real point guard, then we would probably see him playing Pro.
And yes, maybe the streetball route or sports entertainment like the Harlem Globetrotters may be a good option for him.
There is too much unnecessary attention paid to this kid. The simple fact of the matter is this, when everybody was young and equally small, training and hard work would take over. Years later, everyone else grew up, but he stayed in middle school both skill wise as well as his small physical statue.
JJ Barea is 5 ft 8 and had amazing NBA career.
He also have the same stutter dribble and shots.
This just shows you the willpower, training and discipline to get to the NBA.
Literally copied the thumbnail and title exactly from Hoop Nation’s video 3 months ago
His dad failed him when he made him focus on basketball knowing he wouldn’t be tall. He’d be better off playing running back or playing baseball. He could’ve atleast gotten farther just off his work ethic
nah, dad got him $$$. Grifters gonna grift
His dad was a coach, then made his teammates as intruments, they're in a wack league so he can have high stats, but still, was not enough
Julian Newman, 170CM. If he were a hobbit, he would have played as a big man in the Hobbit Basketball League. Unfortunately, he is human.
All His Eggs In One Basket SYNDROME
You have one kid's dad trying to exploit him (Newman) and another kid's dad actually wanting them to succeed (Ball brothers)
Yeah. Say what you want about Lavar Ball, but he never made his kids look bad, only himself. While Jamie Newman made both himself and his son look bad.
pops knew his kids weren’t going far; it was/is all about the grift
Idk why it's 2024 and people are still talking about this guy's a grown adult now trying to relive his glory days
Lol 😂 love your narrating, keep it up bro
It’s crazy he peaked at around 12 years old😂😂😂😂
i see him in person he’s 5’5 at the most
5:39 calling him unathletic is a bit harsh. He was definitely athletic just not a freak of nature.
People forget hes actually graduated, class of 2020
He was great at his size and stature. That's it. The thing was he stopped growing when others were experiencing growth spurts. Hence, his speed and physicality were capped out as other defenders are simply longer striders and longer defenders which is harder to be out-dribbled by Newman. Needless to say, pro-level players would outperform him at a better efficiency.
As for his deficiencies, they were not developed due to the fact that he played varsity at too young of an age. By constantly playing against older and bigger guys, he was not afforded the opportunity to learn how to play effective defense as he would always be out-muscled. Passing development would also be hindered as his defenders often towered above him, blocking his vision adding on the woes that Newman was not physically stronger and would have difficulty making long and strong passes. Finishing at the rim is also not feasible for the same reasons, hence not developing it too much. As such, he can only work on the only skillset that would keep him on the varsity court, which is speed and long range shooting.
You nailed it… Players can get by in spite of their deficiencies, at least in high school/Jr. college (especially when your dad is your coach lol), but the game is drastically different in D1 and even more so in the NBA. Upper echelon programs are, down to the last, team centric and highly structured, two things ol’ Julie has displayed a strong aversion towards. If that isn’t enough, he’s ridiculously undersized (even for his mid-market high school team), his basketball IQ begins with a zero and a decimal point, he is woefully lacking in maturity and unable to realistically evaluate his ability/potential. It’s extremely difficult to get a player to improve on their weaknesses when they refuse to acknowledge that they have any… I am not trying to bash the kid or be an asshole, I am just sharing my opinion like I would if I were asked for an abbreviated scouting report on Julie.
Dyckman basketball game is a good example. Few years ago, a group of Chinese street baller played formal game there. One of the player who scored a lot enter the CBA but he is still struggling now. Therefore, no need to expect too much about Newman as he is not even as good as other Chinese street ballers.
Also, I agree one of the points in the video:dribble. He really dribbles for dribble. He dribbles with no purpose. You can see CP3, Curry, Irving or any guard, they play for fake, pass, crossover within the plan. But Newman really played for nothing.
Im partially aware of him, im a casual basketball fan.
I dislike seeing folk not achieving their potentials, but the way i watch him play, it seems he never wanted to go to the next level, like he was just a talented person that has potential cruising through basketball because...who knows
I hate to tell you he’s not pro cuz he’s so short the dude was insanely talented just didn’t grow if you think he’s so bad tho you should 1v1 him 😂
his father is the key reason for his rise and fall, did him a collossal disservice by programming him to think he was something he wasnt, he doesnt even come close to being as good as Spud Webb
The only ones he has to blame are his dad, his attitude, and most importantly, his height
this and the fact that he is definitely not a good coach...other than developing his kid's basic skills, he should've let him go a long time ago to train with a real coach for more advanced skills
The word "Big",and Julian Newman should Never,EVER be used in the same sentence.
Weird to make this video 4 years after he’s fizzled out. Let the kid live.
Lack of height also leads to lack of reach. For example, I’m 6’1. They say your wingspan is supposed to be your height. My wingspan is 6’4…..that’s the case for many nba guards, their wingspan is even bigger than their height, he ain’t getting a shot up, especially shooting from his chest like that
The problem he is shooting from his chest. 😂 Look at how Michael jordan or Kobe Bryant released ball.
When you have talent but you’re short, have a terrible attitude, live like you’re entitled, and don’t improve your skills, you rarely, if ever, make it to the NBA.
Well being honest he can shoot, but if your dad is the coach, gives you a continual green light, plays at a low level of competition, scoring over 30 a game isn't really too unexpected. Especially with the 3 point shot. Bottom line is, he can really play some hoops, but he never grew, and he isn't an elite athlete. Super small guys who have made it like Bugsy and Spud are off the charts elite athletes. This guy is not.
"You can't have that kind of tunnel vision when you're small enough to fit through the tunnel itself" BROOOOOOO 😂😂😂
A juggler can handle balls really well, but it doesn't translate to baseball. The kid was hyped up by people who had no clue about the game of basketball. His father for 1, but Ellen, Steve Harvey, GMA, and the average TH-cam viewer were his promoters. Normies know two things about bball. If you're tall or you can bounce the ball a few times while running, you are the next MJ. I feel sorry for the kid. He and I both wish he had a good dad who didn't see him as a meal ticket.
Feel bad for the guy, his father wasted all his athletic skills on a sport he was never gonna go pro at because of his height.
I don’t know much abt basketball, but 8 seasons, 201 var games, and 5200 career points? That’s till smth special
boy's 4'5". we still need to wait till he grow up.
He fell a little bit short... of what his dad wanted... but that runs in the family.
Gonnd enough to help pull some crowd to your channel, man.
Proof: As we speak, this is the most watched video in his channel.
Height problem. Thats it. No need to watch an 8 minute video
his father uses his kids as a walking brand for his company, being his coach basically all his basketball career only allowed him to play more meaning more exposure. not to mention the daughter also had a basketball career because of this, but after the whole Newman family thing faded out, she started doing more explicit things that I won't get into. But give her a year and she will have a link in her bio.
She did only fans
basket-bieber, he a lil goofball, way too much ego far too overblown for his minimal level of talent! I agree he could be the kind of showman who could play with the globetrotters if he worked on it 🤭
Gio Wise vs Newman would be legendary
TH-cam still milking this man
How sad
*_"complex dribble that doesn't make space"_* sums up everything
He signed for the Puerto Rico National Superior Basketball league (BSN) this year draft no one choose him.
Seven years of Varsity WFT?
Waiting for his sister to make a OF’s
How long have you been waiting?
Wtfffff 😂😂😂😂😂😂
for his height he was damn good but 5'5" ain't getting you anywhere close to D1 court let alone the NBA
He's a 5ft 7 player with a shoot first mentality. Who loses to TH-camrs.
5'4
He was never a genius. He's the product of a father who doesn't understand how basketball is played and trained his son in some broken form of basketball. All he know how to do is do dribble drills, which I'm sure his father thinks is the height of playmaking. His shot never changed even though its aparent the release is too low and too slow for someone of his size.
Basically, Julian was gassed up and let down by his father. If we all trained the way his father made him train, yeah we would all be high-school "prodigies".
Trash might be too harsh. Dude can ball. Im pretty sure you cant guard this dude on a 1v1. He is just too small and anyone small wouldn’t really thrive in the modern NBA.
Man that IMG game was embarrassing
He’s not bad he’s just short. Basketball players nowadays can do whatever he does but a foot taller.
3:45 I love how you give us the 3K points but was was his shooting avg
I used to really think this kid was the best but I now realize that all he doing is ballhawking , shooting highly contested 3 pointers , and doing dribble moves that create no separation at all so he tries to run around his opponents making it seem like he has so much speed but he so small he doesn’t go anywhere
glad u finally woke up
6:48 bruhhh 💀
I was more a fan of Jayshaun Agosto who at least ended up a legit D1 Point Guard that started all 4 years
It’s unfortunate his father went all in on basketball. If he committed all that time and dedication into a sport where size doesn’t matter he could have been a GOAT
Real hoopers know… Newman will get cooked 😂
Just keep in mind, people still talk about Julian, while they have forgotten about O.J. Mayo.... His father syphoned every ounce of clout out of his Julian's potential... If nothing else, gotta respect the hustle lol.
grifters gonna grift
He only acted out cuz there was too much pressure on him to begin with. He was crowned as an NBA Prospect when it was just never meant to be
I mean playing against competition like that at 9, 10,11 even if I am put off by his shenanigans, that’s indisputable acclaim of his abilities already. What has me scratching my head is how guarding him was not a daunting task when he was an upperclassman. He only had that crossover to go to and the rest of his came from circumstance of the conditions. Then we saw how with what film we see him rather failing at bada$$ery like if he had hit a baseball home Run and just looked at what he just did as though he’s thinking “Yeah, goddam right I’m good”. But yeah it’s one thing to wish that but another to celebrate that way over some in game stat that was rather not impressive but still counted.
best example of peaked in High School
