Julian Newman starts brawl after IMG Academy smacks Prodigy Prep by 60

[HabitualChiller]

No, he’s a legit senior. He’s been playing high school ball since 5th grade.


I wonder what he’s gonna do next year, I don’t think he got any college offers. He put in all that work and has nothing to show for it.

nikka must be 100% FDA certified Booty-Ral to have been on the HS team since the 5th grade and still have zero offers. I remember seeing this 5'9 nikka pull out a windmill in a game against my high school, and he was committed to Oklahoma State.

This kid came to Dyckman and got heckled played real bad and put up some edited highlights after and got flamed again.

His pops made people hate him and inflated his ego. It’s gonna get to the point that this kid is probably going to start hating the game and face depression.

He’s a frail 5’6 scoring PG he has no chance at the league. He has one D1 offer to the University of Texas-San Antonio. He needs to take that do his 4 years get himself a degree enjoy the college experience because basketball ain’t gonna pay his bills. Maybe he can finesse an overseas pro career he’s still somewhat of a sports celeb.

I watched the Ball Is Life highlights and it was pure fukkery. His team has a couple of hoopers but the ball CANNOT be in his hands at all. All of these ballers are getting older and stronger and this dude is just frozen in time and his anger is starting to show.

Clearly he isn’t thinking logically if he thinks he can start a brawl on an away court, throw a chair and not think the kids from that school won’t throw hands simply because they outnumber his squad.

If you watched the video, number 3 on his team actually got d1 offers and he gets no shine on the overtime videos they get made, I actually think the cat can make it to the NBA, the way he can handle and shoot is super smooth

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I used to think he was a clown, just as a fan of sports, but on some real shyt, as a father myself, watching his dad basically turn this dude into a walking laughingstock is pretty fukked up. Yeah Lil dude cocky and not a quarter as good as his ego would lead you to believe, but clearly this started way back, with his father nurturing that attitude. Now he on the summerjam screen on a regular basis getting destroyed by much better talent and getting clowned by hundreds of thousands in the process. shyt can't be good for his emotional development. I hope that bag is big enough to pay the cost for potentially sacrificing your kids psyche

And that’s why you can’t take people seriously when they wanna shyt on Lavar. At least his kids have a realistic shot at doing something in basketball as a result of the work he put into them instead of it being 98% hype/YouTube vids and 2% hooping.

Millions of kids playing high school b-ball and what are the chances that kids from the same family are all great at the same time. It just ain’t happening.

Meanwhile, Juilian’s dad is doing the Dollar Tree version of whatever Lavar did and his son is looked at as a joke. This kid should be playing soccer or another sport where his size isn’t emphasized that much. Yet this little motherfukka is having dribbling contests with himself and bigger/stronger players are manhandling him like a rag doll.

shyt sucks but hopefully he can go to college, get his degree and find a career in sports but behind the scenes.

He's a frail short chucker, dude should've put on weight

 

[FabTrey]

this kid gotta be shorter than mugsy

 

[Hammer]

dude been in hs for 8 years smh

5'7"

Better switch to football before its too late

No idea who he is, so I'm going off general consensus and this video. He's 5'6 at best. I would say he needs to be watching more Earl Boykins, Spud Webb, and Mugsy highlights as opposed to Trae Young and Iverson, but he's nowhere near athletic or quick as Earl, Spud, or Mugsy were. If you're that much smaller, you either

A.) have to be incredibly athletic, or

B.) Incredibly savvy, crafty, and smart with the rock at the PG position.

Often times, both. You have to make up for being a huge defensive liability and excel at something. I dont see that with him.


His IQ is terrible and he can't outsmart his opponent.
He has a pedestrian first step.
He's easily rattled.
He can't "out athlete" his opponent and has no explosion.


I havent seen his jumper but if you're unable to create space at 5'6 at the high school level, good luck at doing so at the D1/Pro/Semi-pro level where the defenders get bigger, more disciplined, quicker, and taller. Seems like he has an attitude issue to boot. You can be a small guy and a great player, but he clearly wasn't steered in the right direction during his development. If what you all are saying is true, his dad was definitely living vicariously through him and set him up to fail as a consequence. Too focused on what they wanted him to be as opposed to what he should have been.


His best bet is to take that D1 offer like @ISO mentioned, make peace with the idea of likley being the back up PGs backup, live it up in undergrad as a D1 athlete surrounded by beautiful women, get a degree + some solid connects, and count his blessings. All things comsidered, he's in a privileged situation because he's blessed to have that offer if this video footage is any indication of his actual talent level.

This dudes story is actually sad.

Nikka literally playing and chucking for a school/team his pops created.

Pops created all this hype ( starting his Son on VARSITY in 5th grade) only for the nikka to end up being 5’7.

I’m all for fathers supporting their kids but dam man let them Develop at their own pace. Nikka made a circus clown out of his son.

I think the biggest ether is that dude made basically the team for his son and now some of the other dudes getting scholarships, that must feel so uncomfortable

Considering his father and his wife are short as well, I don't understand what he thought was going to happen... Did he think his son would catch some height outta nowhere? At least Lavar and his wife are both 6 foot plus with athletic backgrounds.
