When size meets elite skills, then meets athleticism, meets talent, meets hard work & attitude, this is the product!
Great comment, couldn’t have said it better!
@Playa Fly Fan I added that as well 💯
Athleticism? 24 inch standing vertical 😂
Just imagine once he gets older and gains more muscle and gets bouncier and just simply grow into his body and natural form. He’s gonna be a monster in the league, hope everything goes well for this kid Fr fr 🙏🏻
He gonna be just instoppable. Score or a foul
@@nassimmng5378 in today's nba. as you said. with a bit of growth. look out!!!!
I swear if his draft comparisons aren’t KD
This is crazy, this dude playing like KD with Westbrook attitude..
He said russ was his favorite players before too.
@@Syphaxx5 yeah yeah I can see that. He plays mean bro
3:03 damnnn. Misses the dunk but then picks up the rebound and pops a 3
them edits cold 🔥
Elite scorer! Watching him play live was well worth it! Sky is the limit for this young guy! #unicorn
Whoever edited this great job, straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 gone head nephew do it like you supposed too
Straight to the league you go‼
Finally, i been waiting on this video for a while
This is definitely baby Kd 😭😭
Yup. He reminds me of young KD that didn't go to College
More kd than lebron
Dude so skilled, look a lot different from other highschool player. Definitely gonna be something
That’ll be his nickname--Baby KD. I literally posted the same nickname before I even saw this post.
Flight in June
Not exactly
@@carl1498 I see a lot of similarity's both have long arms, both have long ass necks, both r a lot taller than the people they r playin against, both r skinny. I mean there basically the same player.
@@slimluka2947 be quiet 😂😂
E
No Flight in March 2021
3:50 Some KD type stuff 👀
So much talent he going be a great player in collage and nba he got the size great shot high flyer young penny hard away may god keep blessing him and his family
I love love love his game
That beat in the beginning tho 🔥
U just have to love this dude he hoops and hoops some more
This edit is fire 🔥🔥
AND a quick release 😳.............. you have my attention young man....
6’11 with guard skills.
Could be like Kevin Durant
Could be like Lamar Odom
Could be like Johnathan Bender
Nah Emoni only like 6’8 rn. He could definitely grow tho he’s still 16
Gabe Huang Hes listed at 6’9 and he’s been above 6’8 since middle school
I see t Mac too. Minus the injuries
Lol I have no clue who Johnathan Bender is but I guess that’s the point.
@@amitpalbains9361 johnathan was a problem in highschool lol. Look up his mcdonald's all american game. I remember having his cards
Waiting for OSN to react to this 🤣
That’s what I’m sayin jalen green too
@@jdpender4708 he already reacted to jalen green.
He reacted
Yessirrrr🔥🥶
Looking like a man amongst cubs lol. Hope you achieve everything you dream of young brother keep rising!!!!
And he’s coming to EL!!! 💚🤍 bouta bring us home that chip he a straight dawg
But we losing Cassius Winston unfortunately. It would be a dynasty if we were able to have both
Lol he’s not going to EL. With the new rule change, he’ll skip college and go to the NBA. Nike and adidas are probably already calling him with shoe deals. He ain’t gonna pass that up to play one year in college
Alex Cornwell look up the NBA rule change! It got delayed my man and the target year of 2022 isnt happening. They expect it to change around 2023-2024 cause they had some issues they have to resolve with it. Woj from espn did a little report on it. And plus his Dad just opened up him a prep school so he has the option to reclassify. Which he said he’s got interest in but isnt 100%. So theres a good chance he reclassifies to 2021. And his family is pretty well off with money so he said he’s not interested in the G league and would rather play college basketball for a year.
@@alexcornwell2375 NBA rule change isn’t happening until 2024-2025, he’ll play a year or two at Michigan State
that intro tough
He’s just toying with everyone he plays. He would start at Kansas or Duke right now!
Jacob Crow fact
He’d b the #1 draft pick rn
Daniel Sanchez Stop it .
James Epstein G League or overseas
James Epstein Fuck the NCAA. Spineless hypocrites
He is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH..BIG FAN OF THIS YOUNG MAN
Love his rythm and timing and his fakes !
SPARTANS 😎 Lets GOOOO!!
I want to see how he handles adversity and how committed he will be to developing his body. But I hope he thrives. Him vs. Ja vs. Zion for a decade will be fun.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks like he got some fire
Bro this my real blood family cuzzo that played in Lincoln a year ago had no idea smh 🤦🏽♂️ go head emoni❤️💪🏾🔥
That beat in the beginning goes hard asf
2 other Michigan players he reminds me of are Magic and the Ice Man. He got some of Magic handles and the smooth shooting touch of Gervin.
Holy shit
Destined For The League 😤
Editing 🥶
The definition of a Demi God gonna be scoring 25+ easily best pure scorer since KD I knew he was special when I was watching him go off in elite camps in middle school
A fucking Demi God lmaooooo
This guy gonna be a hall of famer
He was born the same year the piston won they Championship in 04 this young man is destined for greatness
Emoni get yo money!!
Emoni Has Kevin Durant's Skill Set As Well As Body Type. He Will Be Another "Offensive Nightmare".
He doesn't have KD's length.
Quincy he can still grow
We lit in the city of Memphis right now 🔥🔥🔥
1:52 one of the nastiest moves I’ve ever seen
Idk about the comparisons but he’s definitely ready for the next level
Look at the handles
Know one thing that's bates jersey gonna be tough
Reminds me young KD but with a little bit more sauce 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
This is probably the only highschool Hooper that wear his shorts low 😂
GlizzyisFaded it’s cause short shorts only look good with ppl with bigger legs
Jalen green
Bruh dude got sick handles to be 6’11
What the fuck, i thought Mikey was inhumane but this guy has hall of fame shooting, playmaking, finishing and defense 🙏🏾 wow
its very hard for him to become a bust because he relies purely on skill like this kid is for real the next generational superstar the nba should be scared
why should the NBA be scared😂😂
@@azzizzsallahh Well players more so the NBA is happy
It’s easy for him to become a bust you don’t think everyone in the NBA looked somewhat this good even as a sophomore 😂
Anthony Robinson I hope ur kidding. No one has ever won the national player of the year as a sophomore. So no, no one was ever this good
PlayerMix I said “somewhat” look next time before you just write your comment please 😂
Welcome to Spartan Nation!!
Lol not any more,
Lol not anymore
No sir
Need OSN to react to this.
Dude a killer compare to these guys. If he can do the same in college he will run the league
Real ones know the original had dnd by polo g in the beginning
10th grade!!!!!!!!🤯 All he gotta do is work on that mid- range jumper that’s gonna be his NBA bread & butter!!!!!!!
He better workout cause it won’t be that easy in college or the nba
dude that is KD. he even has that little wrong-side hitch coming up with the ball on his jump shot. insane
Roll the shorts up bro
And he has committed to Michigan State! Let’s Go!
He could get buckets in the nba right now
GO GREEN 😤
Go white!
Bro bout to be back to this level but in the NBA go Cavs!!!
This dude plays exactly like KD
This is what I mean when you can be 6'9 and play just like a small foward or guard Emoni is different
Kevin Durant has a long lost son. Holy cow this kid is a can’t miss prospect
I’ve seen this kid play in person, I’ve got family that goes to Lincoln from the Ypsi area and he is the real deal 100% dudes gonna be a generational talent
It is crazy to think this dude is in high school
3:08 His mistake actually led to one more point
😂🤣
Maybe he missed it on purpose? at the time of the jump He thought that a 3 point was better
Hof Self-Bail out
Man this kid should be in the nba right now
Slow down kiddie he will be fasho one day but not right now hes too skinny
David Johnson people say he would’ve been the #1 pick if he went this year kiddie
Trent Sutherland anthony bennett went number 1... you cant predict the future and neither can the rest of yall who say this blasphemy
Esco Ayala there hasn’t been a recruit this good since lebron... potential is way higher on him considering he’s 16 he’s basically a 6’9” pg who pulls from everywhere great vision without a doubt better then Anthony Bennett coming out of college
@@trentsutherland8231 Yes he is way better that others his age. The skill is obviously there. But you think he can do this stuffs against nba players bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic than him? Can he still pull up in the face and have court vision against those nba guys? 😂 Give him time to grow, develop, his body to bulk more. His time in the NBA will come. Relax kiddie.
Bro Emoni Bates is HIM!!
Honestly its hard to judge him. He is taller and slightly athletic. He doesnt quite yet possess the jump out the gym athleticism nor strength. However for a 16year old... his ceiling is through the roof. He stays focused he is going to potentially be like mr. Milwaukee Bucks 34!!🤝🏾🔥🤯.
No one saying that. ( tall, good handle on ball, fearless, can drive with ease. )
Anybody know the exact beat from 0:00 - 2:14? Would really Preciate it
Saw his AAU squad get blown out 3 times this past weekend. How good is he really?
He's only a sophomore, in his Senior year, hes gonna do what Jalen Green is doing and go straight to the G-League...This young man is a once in generation athlete
Straight to the nba by the times he eligible you will be able to go straight from high school to the nba
The fucking truth!!!!!
Jordan : Sophomore lebron Can play in the League
Emoni : are you sure about that
I’m not saying he’ll be as successful or is as good right now. But his game definitely reminds me of Kevin Durant. Same Arsenal, same shot selection, handles the ball the same way, has the same type of athleticism, heck even his jumpshot looks the same the way he brings it across his body
This kid turned 16 in January..... 💰💰
Now he is an Michigan State commit! Hopefully he the potential one-and-done rule change doesn't make him want to go pro right out of high school instead.
He went to my school Lincoln on top
The Future..... True definition of Mamba Mentality.... Keep Grinding young man....💪
Supa Rio85 that’s big facts. Dude is a young killa
When he get a left hand he might be the most elite high school player ever lol
Lebron hands down
Jay Kon naw I played against Greg oden in AAU..... don’t judge him by how his nba career went .... he woulda been a hall of gamer easy if he stayed healthy
Intro dababy x stunna type beat “dum dum”
All he needs is 1 yr of a high profile college competition OR 1 yr of G- league, and the G-league will provide him with over 500,000.00 dollars in salary, that is a MAJOR consideration to weigh, He has a significant insurance policy in case of injury so that isn't an issue either, if he goes to College, A deal overseas is also an option and will be PAID over there, but not very likely he will go that route, Either way I'll support him and root for his success,
So many people already calling him KD 2.0 wtf guys KD's one of the best scorers EVER, bandwagonner or not put some respect on his name, this kid here is only a sophomore with nice looking potential
He looks like a one man Harlem globetrotter team playing against the Washington Generals.
Is he really this good, or just bigger then everybody else at the moment🤨, I hope he makes it and becomes a star in the league I like his attitude on the court 💪🏾
I thought the same about Zions competition in high school but look how that turned out haha
Jetmir Lekiqi time will tell, but I hope he makes it I like watching him play
1.8 assists?! He must've had the ultimate green light.
MellyMac obviously he is the best prospect since Lebron
@@xadrian-.-blessindopefeind3169 Let's not put that type of pressure on him. We've seen Zion, Ben Simmons, KD,.... They were all ultra special in HS and became what we thought they were. Emoni could be the next KD, or MPJ.
MellyMac I’m comparing him to Lebron as a prospect not Lebron as a finished project in the nba
@@xadrian-.-blessindopefeind3169 How are they comparable? Lebron has elite point guard skills while this kid looks more like a offensive scorer
most underrated high school player don’t @ me
He’s number one ranked in his class. But nice try 😂😂
@mon key
Pistons need you my boy
when the skele gets out of the spawner
Ik ppl say he kd but his game reminds me of Giannis NGL bro watch out and be careful he keep developing his game and put on muscle its over the best high school player imo rn
I know a major college recruiter who said this kids the best he's ever seen at his age.... & He's seen LeBron, Kobe, & KD play in HS too....
he’s the only high school player i’ve ever seen and have zero doubt that he’ll be a superstar in the nba.
I need to see Chet vs emoni now
People saying he plays like KD I say he plays more like Michael porter jr . If you look at his college and HS games they have similar playstyle
ZiggyZig the thing is that the stature and frame are totally diffrent which correlates with the play style
What about Paul George?
ZiggyZig michael porter junior had more post game than emoni
He will average 10- 13 points today in the league...do ya'll understand what we're looking at...he is 16...I'm saying it now no major injuries top 10 ever...
Ronald Mason idk about top ten ever... just have to watch and see ig
wheeeewwww
KD with KG mentality
Ive never seen a tougher kid in my life
Just because you were a pussy as a kid doesnt mean other kids are
He should be able to go to draft. If he is drafted he sits and continues to train under nba guidance. nba pays him to train and maintain grades going forward. payouts should be given when he reaches contract milestones. The boi is League Ready
he wont play a game until 18 years old. He still has to develop a frame needs more muscle
