Still don't understand how the kid gets his shot off. He has to be in a terrible league to be able to blow past people like that.

it said thanks to christian league basketball.. so in reality he is playing in pick up games. he couldnt get on a court in varsity ball in ny state at that size, no way he could pass the test.

brings to mind former Pitt guard and current Arizona head coach Sean Miller, who was also a young bball prodigy

I bet Michael Jordan in his prime could have beaten him.

In 5 years time he can probably destroy teams the caliber of Binghamton, UConn, and Lemoyne

Found his teams site on maxpreps. Looks like they are killing everybody in their league and based on the video looks like the competition is really bad. Looks like there is an 8th grader playing varsity on his team as well. Sounds a little deceiving. I remember playing pickup at Archibald one saturday and some guy brought his little guy who was probably about the same age. Kid was quick and pretty good - but the competition wasn't all that great. I could easily see how perception could be flawed in that regard.
