NBA Know It All he still ballin and now he might play for the Philippines as a naturalised player if he gets his visa in time in the Fiba Asia Champions Cup
this is proof that no matter what life throws at you, you can always achieve your goals, Isaiah Austin is now playing pro basketball in the Phillipines
I mean this is not really a valid metaphor. Sure he went through a lot of opposition. But even with his eyes injuries he is still 7ft tall and a natural athlete.
Can you do the story of Damon Stringer? Mr Basketball of Ohio in 1995 from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Freshman of the year in the Big Ten while attending Ohio state, a great sophomore year and then he was kicked out of Ohio State for kicking someone's windshield out. Next he attended Cleveland State with two of his high school teammates Jamal Harris and Theo Dixon and finished college as Cleveland States' leading scorer. Went overseas and played on a championship team with Yao Ming, came back to the states to try out for the Cleveland Cavaliers. While awaiting his tryout he was gambling with Jamal Harris and Cleveland Indian's former star pitcher Cici Sebathia. Cici sebathia won a large amount of money off of them. Jamal Harris and Damon Stringer then leave, grab their guns and go back to the hotel and rob cici sebathia. They were caught and sent to prison for 10 years. Once released Damon Stringer started a basketball camp and has a very successful AAU team.
That was extremely heart warming to hear, I was born with a disability called morning glory syndrome and I’m actually legally blind in my left eye, it sucks but it hasn’t ever stopped me I still play football I love weightlifting and I love basketball and it’s just remarkable to hear what all he has been through
ICE 1220 it's only a club team not national team. Champions cup is tournament for club teams who are champions of local leagues in their country. Those leagues should be recognized by fiba to be able to join the tournament. In case of Chooks-to-go, they were invited to compete because the japanese team decide to back-out.
against all odds, now thats passion, he's about to play for the philippine team and i know he's gonna fit right in because he's got a lot of heart and so much passion for the game, so inspiring, excited to watch him, great vid! sub!!!
Finally!!! Isaiah Austin is one of my favorite players and not a lot of people I talked to knew about him. It's actually cool to know that he was born in Fresno too. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves
Very uplifting and encouraging story! I remember this draft when that happened, I felt so bad for the guy! He has so much strength and endurance! He's an MVP in my book!
Isaiah is playing for Gilas Pilipinas (Philippines) now. It's good to see him still playing even after all that he's been through. keepy playing Isaiah!
Thanks for this story. Such a heart breaking stroy yet inspiring at the same time. This makes me look back at myself if i am trying hard enough for everthing i have.
Yeah very resilient young man. I want to see him make the nba. I remember watching the draft, and seeing him. I am glad he is doing his thing over seas
I have Marfans too man, it's no joke. Things in daily life take a big toll on what you do so you always have to be mindful of how hard you push yourself.
Update: He's playing for the national team of the Philippines as a naturalized player (my country loll) and he's doing pretty well (I saw in the news that he got injured earlier today, but I still believe he can still make an impact) The doctors said I have almost the same disorder with my eyes (if I ever get hit in either eye) that's why I switched to soccer, but seeing this inspires me to play and love basketball again....
i coached in college at the naia level and had a seven foot player who was very thin . he led the nation in blocked shots . he always had a hard time gaining weight . he was going overseas and got diagnosed with malfran !! sucks for him because he was a good kid !
That guy play for our country as a import in FIBA where he carry the team even they have not won the championship still proud of that guy that keep pursuing his dreams salute 👐
Damn i had no idea he only had one working eye, thats amazing. The fact he can play with a skewed depth perception and reduced field of vision is fking nothing short of amazing.
My left eye is completely blind only i can see is light. Im only 14 years and im still praying to god to protect me from being a blind person. I got blind in my left eye because when i was 11 years old i was inbounding the ball and was looking in the back when my friend pass me the ball and then i turn boom my eye got hit so hard. I diagnosed a cataract and retinal detachment when i was that young. And then when i was 12 it turn out so bad. The doctor said that my left eye will be permanent blind i was crying with my mother. But life still goes on Im 15 now and doctor said that my right eye is good so i have no problems with it. I wear glasses like Isaiah Austin did. And I always trust god for his kindness to guide me everyday. My future is to be an Architect. I study hard for my dream with my family support and friends. I play basketball until now. I still fighting in this condition. sorry for my bad english 1like 1fight for who has same situation like me.!
@Handles UP - Please for the love of all of humanity what is the name of the song in the background of this video??? My Shazam won't find it and this song is powerful AF
Isaiah is now in our National team, we welcome him with open arms. whether he can help us get to where we wanted to be , it doesn't matter ,we still put all our trust on him...
Like For Isaiah Austin Being A Legend And working For everything After getting Marfans Syndrome
NBA Know It All he still ballin and now he might play for the Philippines as a naturalised player if he gets his visa in time in the Fiba Asia Champions Cup
This is fucked up man...seriously...glad he got 2 play over seas...damn.
NBA Know It All What About Austin Carr?
it really is this must suck for him
NBA Know It All yeah I have Marfans 2. I still play ball though. His story is very inspirational 💯
I remember him, he was one of my favorite college players, I was excited to use him in 2k because of his story, but he wasn't able to go to the NBA
Mr Coconut 1324 you could've got him on my team like I did in 2k15
He was in 2k15 as a free agent
this is proof that no matter what life throws at you, you can always achieve your goals, Isaiah Austin is now playing pro basketball in the Phillipines
not pro but he will play for our national team to compete in fiba asia
I mean this is not really a valid metaphor. Sure he went through a lot of opposition. But even with his eyes injuries he is still 7ft tall and a natural athlete.
JBG2k 😂😂😂😂
But isn't he gonna die? There is a reason why he can't play anymore, it damages his body and makes his chance of dying like 99% higher.
Pinuyyyyyyyyy
Isaiah would have still had his eye if they didn't put him with older kids and if that dude didn't throw it to him
That goes to show how your life could change in a matter of seconds!
But he still wouldve had the enlarged arteries....
Fuck those people and pitcher..
tiismuna it’s how you play baseball? grow up isaiah probably doesn’t blame him for shit
Lens Gaming Butterfly effect
Im blind in my left eye and play basketball
Fr?
r u right handed?
Legally or completely?
Ya but do you play at the nba level 😂
Jake Jones Exactly

Boom Time you just told the whole story
Boom Time This is a great suggestion
I make NBA content if anyone is interested.
Boom Time he doesn't have to cover it you jus did
Thanks for explaining the video he couldve done
The NBA has cleared him just no team wants to risk signing him
Reuven Medalie and zaza pachulia is a starting center in the NBA smh
Imagine him going to the Warriors.
Reuven Medalie like bosh
I legit am cirying! My dad lost his right eye from cancer. Thank you lord for being people like Austin to inspire people
I heard bout him n I'm glad ur going to talk about to him🙏🏽 thanks
That was extremely heart warming to hear, I was born with a disability called morning glory syndrome and I’m actually legally blind in my left eye, it sucks but it hasn’t ever stopped me I still play football I love weightlifting and I love basketball and it’s just remarkable to hear what all he has been through
ISHIAH IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLAYER 2 NEVER PLAY IN THE NBA
TD SAVAGE ikr fuck lavar
TD SAVAGE mine too
TD SAVAGE who was the old one?
What bout len bias
TD SAVAGE lavar is my fav player who didn't play in the NBA, oh wait he did i just can't remember.
I work at the LAX Airport, and met this guy. He’s such a humble guy with a good heart. Loved watching him hoop in Baylor
Isaiah Austin is about to play for Gilas/Chooks To Go (Philippines National Basketball Team) this FIBA Asia Champions Cup. PUSO is with you Isaiah!

Sean Sloan want a cookie?
PrecisionWalks thanks!!! Chocolate chip please
Sean Sloan mhm
this is click bait though, nba didn't take anything
Will Taufahema Well, not purposely but his passion took his opportunity from him. The NBA didn't do anything but his goal for going into the NBA did.
His book is amazing
LeBron James I finished reading it this week ironicly
Ikr
LeBron James thats not even the real james
LeBron James please reply to me pls i beg you
Kobe N please reply to me pls i beg you
Finally!!! Isaiah Austin is one of my favorite players and not a lot of people I talked to knew about him. It's actually cool to know that he was born in Fresno too. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves
He was my favorite player in college
Very uplifting and encouraging story! I remember this draft when that happened, I felt so bad for the guy! He has so much strength and endurance! He's an MVP in my book!
Damn I hope he gets better
Great job
Dude went through war, he never let anything stop him. can’t imagine what kind of pain he went through. god bless the young blood.
Nice editing and great quality vids bro
Joaquin A honestly
I feel so bad for him and what he has gone through #Never Give Up what you love doing And what Isaiah is doing he never gave up! He is A Legend!
He's now going to play for a team in the Philippines! So glad we have you mr. Austin
Isaiah is playing for Gilas Pilipinas (Philippines) now. It's good to see him still playing even after all that he's been through. keepy playing Isaiah!
Thanks for this story. Such a heart breaking stroy yet inspiring at the same time. This makes me look back at myself if i am trying hard enough for everthing i have.
I love your video's thanks for making them and please make more and keep grinding
Yeah very resilient young man. I want to see him make the nba. I remember watching the draft, and seeing him. I am glad he is doing his thing over seas
Guys:!THE EYE DID NOT CAUSE HIS CONDITION IT WAS A GENETIC THING!!!
david long It was actually Marfan syndrome that really was to blame for his eye in the first place.
OMG REALLY, EVERYONE TYPE EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS AND SPAM EXCLAMATION POINTS
Great Video Handles. I never heard Isaiah story before. God bless that kid, I hope the best for him.
God bless you lil brother!!! Continue to get better and stronger...
He played for Gilas Philippines and showed how great of a basketball player he is. Tnx for the video.
He's actually playing in the upcoming fiba asia champions cup for the phillipines if he get's his visa in time
As a naturalised player
He's an import, not a naturalized player. Blatche is still the naturalized player of Gilas.
It’s crazy ... If he was one inch to the left he could of been the top center ... crazy how Where u are and when effects everything
FeministJoke nope it was genetic
FeministJoke 🙁
david long wat
WLT 30 it was in his genes, not because of the baseball
david long he’s not talking about the disease. He was talking about his eye dude
Ive seen him play when he was at Baylor. He was a good kid and could ball. Sad for him. But he is still doing his thing. Gotta respect that hard work.
I have Marfans too man, it's no joke. Things in daily life take a big toll on what you do so you always have to be mindful of how hard you push yourself.
Go and check out the Isaiah Austin foundation please it means a lot.
@@CPI99 i will i been wondering what happened to him after draft bog ups to him he's still able to follow his dream elsewhere

Update: He's playing for the national team of the Philippines as a naturalized player (my country loll) and he's doing pretty well (I saw in the news that he got injured earlier today, but I still believe he can still make an impact)
The doctors said I have almost the same disorder with my eyes (if I ever get hit in either eye) that's why I switched to soccer, but seeing this inspires me to play and love basketball again....

Great video! Very well written. Thanks for the info.
Can you do a story on Tyler hansbrough and how his career went down
Best basketball story I’ve ever seen
A girl in my grade is his cousin. Back in 6th grade he came into our class and I got a hat signed. He’s a super dope guy.
Your a good narrator. Welcome to the Philippines all the way sir.
I love this man, I watched the draft live and was lowkey upset about it. Hes my favorite player to never play in the NBA.
Still a remarkable guy hats off to him.
I been watching him for the longest I wish he had made
Big salute to this man
He played in Philippines now, and it was really great player..
When i saw on draft i wasn't happy and teared up a bit he will make it to the nba
