Cool kid.

Posted by: Speedy at January 8, 2011 11:12 AMYes, but how does that help the needs of humanity? SleepsOnGrates will surely explain that such individual achievement demeans the experience of those less fortunate basketball players.

Posted by: the rat at January 8, 2011 11:45 AMThe kid's a real wizard with the ball, hope he grows up to be well over six feet!
As "speedy" says, the Globetrotters might be interested in this kid.
Posted by: dmorris at January 8, 2011 12:10 PMThank-you for the video Kate. That young man is talented!! The look of pride on his Dad's face warms my heart.

come on, i can't be the only one who laughed!! lol
Posted by: steve at January 8, 2011 12:30 PMInspiring video. Beyond the skills, the lad appears to have the strength of character to bring it altogether. As did Jema 54, I observed the father as well and I felt his pride as I know the feeling myself.

Posted by: Robert W. (Vancouver) at January 8, 2011 12:45 PMWith a dad like that, the young man will be able to accomplish more than many of the fatherless players now in the NBA who are tribal-tatted, narcissistic gang-bangers, setting the bar for the youngsters.
As long as he can keep his head on his shoulders and not be consumed by the crab-bucket education system, that is!
Posted by: glacierman at January 8, 2011 12:52 PMThis kid has purpose and should go far.
Posted by: Ken (Kulak) at January 8, 2011 1:05 PMWOW!
Are some of those moves legal -- I mean, on the basketball court?
Posted by: batb at January 8, 2011 1:12 PMWow the kid has talent and drive. I sure hope he ends up with height as well. It's a tall man's game.

JMD: "It's a tall man's game."
Well, not necessarily, if you can shoot and dribble like this kid!

Sorry. It's just that those detached balls got me thinking...
