Duke University freshman Jabari Parker is a Chicago native with humble roots and an impressive track record. 4-time state champ. National Freshman of the Year. But he's not done yet.
I am in tears. I love this kid. He is an amazing basketball player and an amazing young man. Please stay at least 1 more year Jabari, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! #goduke
As much as I want to agree, you can't ignore the defensive side of the game. He'll be rookie of the year but Wiggins/Embiid have more two way potential. I also think Parker is an underrated defender.
Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I can look up to this guy so much, because I can relate to him more than some people, and not just in that way. I'll always be a UNC fan (and a BYU fan) but Jabari is still one of my favorite players of all time. I don't care who you are, or where you came from, you just gotta respect the kind of person and player this guy is. Good luck Jabari. I'm very excited to see where you're career will take you.
I'm hoping to see Jabari play here in Milwaukee...talented young man. What a great draft he should be a part of. Oh, and great music on the video as well. Right when I heard the Underachievers drop I knew I'd like this.
Jabari if you see this im 13 and you are my favorite player since scheyer on Duke and I live in durham but please stay please Your an amazing person please stay
If he doesn't go on an LDS mission, I'm hoping he'll stay at Duke till he finish his degree! NBA millions will still be there! He needs to stay and work towards hanging at least one more banner for that great university and the people who've shown him so much love! And I'm a Mormon who hoped he'd go to BYU. Go Jabari!!!
I second everything people have said about Jabari...unbelievable person-not just athlete....but kudos to his brother too!! How many people can say their siblings are THAT excited and involved in their success? Too often in our day, this kind of hype for your sibling would cause jealousy. Great video Duke! Thanks for sharing. It's good to see a role model coming up that young kids can look to as a great example on and off the court
Truly Amazing! I am really liking how positive these comments are. It would be great to see him another year at Duke and break the mold of the one and done. I wish him the best! GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Jabari, I´m from Brazil, I´m LDS like you and I´m your biggest fan! I imagine you in NBA being compared to LeBron and Durant, taking your team to the playoffs, being Olimpic Champion with the USA in the 2016 olimpics here in Brazil! You will be one of the greatests!!!
I'm going to miss Parker and wish him luck in the NBA. Can't wait for next year when we have the best prospect center in years. Another skilled Chicago kid in Jahlil Okafor is gonna be amazing to watch. Lets goo Duke
Please please please stay one more year. it is sad to see such great talent leave after just one year. I know that is selfish of me, but would love to see Duke put together a truly dominant team.
This video reminds of this passage: Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
I've loved watching this young man give leave his heart on the floor every game for my alma mater. Although unlikely, I would love to see him at Duke for another year to finally be able to play in his natural position (SF). He has played great this year as a PF, but I think that if he were able to play on a team where he can play the slasher/wing role as a SF, this young man would be unstoppable.I could only imagine the potential that next year's team would have with him on it, Tyus, Sheed, Jabari, Amile, and Jahlil as the likely starting 5. GO DUKE!
even though the lost in the first round like in 2012.... this team was different...they wanted each other to succeed as well as themselves.... i hope he stays at duke because he is my favorite player of all time and when he makes his announcement i will be in tears no matter what decision he makes
This video proves to me that Jabari will stay at Duke for the next 3 years. Its not about the money its about the Duke family and how he leaves it...with a legacy.
Its time he adds National Champion to that list. Dont be 1 and done jabari. 2 or 3 years at duke will put you even further ahead of your competitors at the next level
Remarkable, inspiring video of a great player from a great family. The film very skillfully brings out Jabari's qualities as a person so much that they overshadow his basketball talent and in the end that is what matters most. While the basketball program at duke is obviously as good as it gets excellent, Coach Krzyzewski's qualities are such that any parent would trust their child's future to him knowing he would put the player's welfare above all else.
Always felt like Sixers needed Jabari not only for his skills but for his marketability. Mid level market, needs a guaranteed star and scorer like Jabari.
But seriously for jabari not only do I love to watch you at Duke and all the crazies love u but It would be a great opportunity to get a seriously exclusive education and to build as a player, and maybe even play for a national title with jahlil okafor. You just can't leave college after losing in the Rd of 64. DON'T LEAVE US JABARI WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Stay another year man. I mean obviously the decision is yours in the end, but it would benefit you, and it would mean nothing more to the fans to have you stay another year to play with Quinn his senior year and Jahlil. Next year's also gonna be Sheed's breakout year, and if you were there for that it would really be something special
Prediction: Jabari Parker is staying at Duke for another year. He's got unfinished business. That lost to Mercer is not how he wanted to go out. Him and Okafor will be something special at Duke in 2014-15.
he's so committed to duke he's gonna return to duke to try to get a acc ship or a national n my sixers will have to go with Dante exum cuz the bucks are gonna take Wiggins they don't need embiid they have Sanders so Dante and tj Warren two guys I like
If I wrote you a love song and Sang it to you every day would it ever be enough to make you want to come back to DUKE and stay! Would it make you..make you wanna stay!?

I am in tears. I love this kid. He is an amazing basketball player and an amazing young man. Please stay at least 1 more year Jabari, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! #goduke
I don't care what anybody says. He's the best player in NCAA. Should be the first pick.
in 2015.
As much as I want to agree, you can't ignore the defensive side of the game. He'll be rookie of the year but Wiggins/Embiid have more two way potential. I also think Parker is an underrated defender.
Jabari Parker next melo Andrew. wiggins next derozan
Chris Tudor I agree with this. Jabari is smarter than Melo, too.
yep
I am a big Jabari Parker fan. He's a real stand up kid.
Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I can look up to this guy so much, because I can relate to him more than some people, and not just in that way. I'll always be a UNC fan (and a BYU fan) but Jabari is still one of my favorite players of all time. I don't care who you are, or where you came from, you just gotta respect the kind of person and player this guy is. Good luck Jabari. I'm very excited to see where you're career will take you.
Lovely. Elder Christian Parker baptized me into the church while on his mission 6 years ago. They're a great family.
Do what's best for you Jabari! You're the ultimate representative for Duke basketball! Stay for yourself and your betterment. Not for us.
I'm a hardcore BYU fan and a Mormon. If Jabari were my son, I would be proud of his decision to play for Duke.
Great video! Big things in this young man's future...glad he chose to go to #DUKE!
Great, quality guy. Hope he comes back and represents Duke again next year.
This is awesome! Jabari is definitely going to be big in the NBA
I'm hoping to see Jabari play here in Milwaukee...talented young man. What a great draft he should be a part of. Oh, and great music on the video as well. Right when I heard the Underachievers drop I knew I'd like this.
You predicted it!
Jabari if you see this im 13 and you are my favorite player since scheyer on Duke and I live in durham but please stay please Your an amazing person please stay
I I hope you know that he won't even see your comment
Its dukes official yt channel and the players upload here theres a good chance he will
If he doesn't go on an LDS mission, I'm hoping he'll stay at Duke till he finish his degree! NBA millions will still be there! He needs to stay and work towards hanging at least one more banner for that great university and the people who've shown him so much love! And I'm a Mormon who hoped he'd go to BYU. Go Jabari!!!
Great video about a great athlete and very humble young man!
I second everything people have said about Jabari...unbelievable person-not just athlete....but kudos to his brother too!!

Thanks for sharing. It's good to see a role model coming up that young kids can look to as a great example on and off the court
This video made me respect him even more than I already did, definitely my favorite college player, I cant wait to see how his game unfolds in the NBA
Truly Amazing! I am really liking how positive these comments are. It would be great to see him another year at Duke and break the mold of the one and done. I wish him the best! GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jabari will go down with the greats. I'm telling you.
Great Jabari, I´m from Brazil, I´m LDS like you and I´m your biggest fan! I imagine you in NBA being compared to LeBron and Durant, taking your team to the playoffs, being Olimpic Champion with the USA in the 2016 olimpics here in Brazil! You will be one of the greatests!!!
Awesome video. Great subject, great footage, great production quality, excellent tuneage.
I'm going to miss Parker and wish him luck in the NBA. Can't wait for next year when we have the best prospect center in years. Another skilled Chicago kid in Jahlil Okafor is gonna be amazing to watch. Lets goo Duke
And dont forget about Tyus Jones
Please please please stay one more year. it is sad to see such great talent leave after just one year. I know that is selfish of me, but would love to see Duke put together a truly dominant team.
This video reminds of this passage: Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
Seems to be an even better person than a basketball player. Love seeing that. Go Jabari, Go Duke!
I've loved watching this young man give leave his heart on the floor every game for my alma mater.

GO DUKE!
One of the best UA-cam videos I've ever seen
Jabari's just a fantastic person. What a great guy! Go DUKE!!!
Great video!!! Good luck to Duke from Spain, I hope he'll stay another year
even though the lost in the first round like in 2012.... this team was different...they wanted each other to succeed as well as themselves.... i hope he stays at duke because he is my favorite player of all time and when he makes his announcement i will be in tears no matter what decision he makes
Go Jabari! Hope you make noise in the NBA! But one more year at Duke will benefit you more in the future.
who watching this in 2020
What an incredible class act.
Please stay Jabari! I want to see you, okafor, and Jones on the same team winning a championship!
I hate Duke, but I love Jabari Parker. Duke is slowly growing on me with the quality guys they seem to bring in
I like to see the Church building upon and accessible to the youth.
This video proves to me that Jabari will stay at Duke for the next 3 years. Its not about the money its about the Duke family and how he leaves it...with a legacy.
The songs in the background though..The Underachievers and Schoolboy Q? niceeeee
seriously love this kid. what an awesome family too. no wonder.
Great guy on and off the court,should be a star in the NBA.
anyone else hear the underachievers instrumental?
Go get it Jabari, go get it, you're the man! LET'S GO DUKE!
Really good story!
great video. 2014 NCAA CHAMPS!!
Well you guys knocked that one out of the park
Its time he adds National Champion to that list. Dont be 1 and done jabari. 2 or 3 years at duke will put you even further ahead of your competitors at the next level
Great video Jabari is truly a legend!! But can anyone tell me the first instrumental?
Remarkable, inspiring video of a great player from a great family.

Great Vid! Stay 1 more year JP!
Always felt like Sixers needed Jabari not only for his skills but for his marketability. Mid level market, needs a guaranteed star and scorer like Jabari.
His bro is great with interviews actually.
But seriously for jabari not only do I love to watch you at Duke and all the crazies love u but It would be a great opportunity to get a seriously exclusive education and to build as a player, and maybe even play for a national title with jahlil okafor. You just can't leave college after losing in the Rd of 64. DON'T LEAVE US JABARI WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Stay another year man. I mean obviously the decision is yours in the end, but it would benefit you, and it would mean nothing more to the fans to have you stay another year to play with Quinn his senior year and Jahlil. Next year's also gonna be Sheed's breakout year, and if you were there for that it would really be something special

Prediction: Jabari Parker is staying at Duke for another year. He's got unfinished business. That lost to Mercer is not how he wanted to go out. Him and Okafor will be something special at Duke in 2014-15.
