      Contest update: Please read!
      Thank you for over 1350 total entries. My goal was 1000 & tbh I’m really surprised we surpassed that. We cut the contest at 900 subscribers, 400 IG followers, and 150 TikTok followers. It was a cool launch experience for myself and everyone who supports the new show.
      The winner of the PS5 is TikTok user: Marion (@ marionmueller 1997). Might try to have the winner chat on socials or something fun this summer.
      Moving forward: It was a little too challenging to keep track of multiple social platform entries so the next giveaway will be strictly UA-cam only. & I’d like to do another contest in the near future (September-ish) so I'm asking you for contest suggestions.
      Here's our shortlist for potential prizes, let me know your vote & stay tuned for announcement.
      1 - iPad Air
      2 - AirPods Max
      3 - Oculus Quest
      4 - Suggest below
      Thanks again, this was fun & I’ll try my best to do these quarterly to thank y’all for supporting the show.

    We had a kid who used to show up once in a while to school during lunch and embarass our basketball team. We asked him to play but he just didn't care. Sometimes too much talent can ruin motivation as well.

    In 2001 he should of already graduated he was born in April 1982 which would make him 3 years older than Lebron. Why don’t nobody mention that.

    Lenny was also 19 that summer Lebron was 16. That was a crazy summer but in all fairness Lebron was a USA Today All American 1st team. It was Crazy at that time. The Car Accident is Sad.

      but LBJ started playing at 8/9.. Lenny started at 14.. so if you go on time which is one of the factors considering development.. it’s not that crazy.. also Lenny seem to have learning difficulties which manifested in his grades and attitude

    None of the Lenny Cooke videos ever bring up that he had a car accident, maybe without that he could have eventually got a shot. Seems like the system for undrafted players wasn't as good back then as it is now though

    It was a dude from out of Rochester. New York was the best basketball player who ever played the game. When he was a kid he train in Walt Frazier basketball camp. They called him LUCKY. Hit me back if you know his name. We was in the USMC, but he should had played in the NBA, because it wasn’t a player in the NBA as good as Lucky, yeah Lucky would win the game, also if you wanted to fight he enjoyed that more than basketball . It wasn’t a heavy weight pro fighter at the time that could have beat Lucky.

    I pray🙏 for Lenny Cooke that God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ will allow your true story to come out and expose the other people that did you wrong and Justice will be served on your behalf and other children that loves to play basketball will be warned about people that will take advantage of them. Amen. Pray u will have a movie out about ur life as well . thanks for sharing n helping the youth out. In my eyes ur richer and stronger than Mr James. 😁

      There's a reason for him not getting drafted.
