The father clearly had dreams of being A NBA player but CLEARLY didn’t have the size or skill so he tried to live that life through his kids. Prime example of talentless parents screwing up their children’s futures
I’ve been scouting for college and NBA since 1978 at no point did I see an an elite guard for the big stage, his size and attitude, Coach at ECU told me he was a hot dog with the works but dog can’t fit the roll.
Tbh i domt know why he didnt work om shooting 2 and 3s instead of tryna go for lay ups he is just to small but he coulda used the quickness to get a good position an shoot but i legit seen a game whwre i freaking had 3 straight shots and missed freaking trash
America needs to calm down with these "prodigy" players. Just about every year there's one kid in High School or College that is "the next big thing". If it's not basketball, it's NFL it's baseball. But these kids rarely translate a dominant High School career into a dominant NBA career. Zion Williamson is the latest example.
@@johnathanlittle1376 Yes the Zion that got the biggest sponsorship in history out of College and 5 years later is an above average player in the NBA that has struggled with injuries his short career and will never live up to the hype.
Hating? Telling the truth is not “Hating“. Gilbert was absolutely right when he said that Julian Newman had no real competition, even at 11 years old. We all know Julian’s his father coached all the teams at his schools, and allowed him to take all of those unnecessary BAD shots just to get stats! And when Julian played real TOP LEVEL competition against highly high school recruited players, he would get DEMOLISHED! And Gilbert Arenas was right again! Julian Newman didn’t grow and he literally was straining his body trying to do things on a basketball court that his height wouldn’t allow him to do successfully because he is more of a “Internet Showman” who was never taught real Point Guard IQ properly to get him recruited by a D1 university. How is that “Hating”? It’s just hard truth. But, l do hope that Julian will separate from his father respectfully one day and discover his own route and purpose to create his own success.
A little self awareness would have done them well. You can’t play at the next level but you have a huge following. Stay in the UA-cam streets and make millions
This is an unfair comparison. People try to compare him and assist to the NBA players. They were great basketball players they were not professional level so comparing them against professionals are calling them failed professionals because of what people expected to them at 10 years old is absolutely ridiculous as a bunch of kids in high school and they don’t make the pros and you don’t call them washed up failed professional basketball players
While parents love to nurture and maximize their own kids talents.. never forget their mental and emotional development as well. Success is needs balance
If we’re being honest, he never really had a shot at the NBA proper. Maybe D-league, maybe. He’s undersized, has average basketball IQ and is lacking in the most important quality: the personality/temperament of a team player. Understanding your role and executing it to the absolute peak of your ability is the hallmark of a pro player with longevity. Julian just doesn’t have that, he has to be “the star” at all times, he has never been content playing a supporting role and with his skill set, he couldn’t even carry the moniker of “star” against solid high school ballers. I’m not trying to be an asshole, I just believe that knowing your limitations is a crucial part of development.
One of the main issues of Julian Newman is not his height or his father… It was basically that he never learned how to be a true point guard. Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues was shorter than Julian Newman by standing 5’3, and he played 14 years in the NBA against some of the greatest basketball athletes of that time(The Jordan era) when the league was way more physical than it is now. Besides having good ball-handling skills, Muggsy had quickness, strength, speed, good court vision, defense, a good playmaker & scorer when needed, a high level of basketball IQ, a great passer, could run an offense, could start the break within seconds, got his players involved to score, a great teammate, leadership skills and most importantly, Point Guard IQ… Julian Newman has none of this. Julian's father just worked him out, took him through drills, and exercise routines… but never taught him or had the knowledge of how to train Julian be a real Point Guard. Julian Newmen is more of a “Showman”, then an actual professional basketball Point Guard. He’s more so focused on scoring and putting on a show then actually applying the skills & IQ in order to be a true point guard. I honestly feel that streetball leagues or Sports entertainment like the “Harlem Globetrotters“ will be more of a nitch for him rather than playing professional basketball.
@ Exactly. It’s like he always tried to force himself to do things on the court that his height & physical stature wouldn’t allow him to successfully accomplish. If he learned basic Point Guard IQ instead of his father giving him free rein to do whatever he wanted, he would’ve been a much better basketball player, and could be more utilized for a team.
If you look at the underside guards that have made it, they are elite athletes at their size. You need to be in the .0000001% genetic lottery if you are that short. You always need more than just working hard. The players that can’t crack the NBA are still exceptional too.
This guy is a great example of what happens when parents try to live through their kids. His dad set him up to fail by telling him he was the greatest when he wasn't even someone you see in the D league
His skill was never an issue.. his size was a major factor.. but the real reason he had no chance.. his personality.. that kid with a little money and fame was on Kanye time and had no self control over his emotions.. 90% mental 10% physical
BAHAHA...... I love how that greedy oldman thought the kid was his meal ticket but got NUFFINS afterwards. 'Prodigy'..... .what a joke. I guess a few cocky dribbles mean you're a superstar now.
His dad did horrible raising him, he was concentrating on getting that money going to the NBA, did not prepare for failure on top of this did not teach him how to be humble and work on his temper.If he would have played where I come from in Jersey his ass would have been busted for running his mouth.
He couldn't do anything in high school because of his height, he's to small for a game that is play between gigiants and for him a gigiant is problby a dude that is 6'1" or 6'2 ", i think you have to be realistic in what sport can you make it to the big leagues or be a pro and definitely basketball is not for him maybe in another sport like soccer or boxing putting the same effort he could do better but its to late now , he's to old to learn and be good in another sport, i blame his dad for giving him false hopes to be a professional basketball player ,so unrealistic ,what a waste of time and effort.

It doesn't matter how hard he worked necessarily he physically didn't have the mechanics to be in the league
He wasn’t ever going to be anything hate to say it. He is way way too short and he isn’t no Nate Robertson

Yup spot on. I was thinking the same thing. He was pretty much a shooting guard. Like way worse version of Allen iverson

It’s not the same thing being a show off, and being a good player. He might’ve been a good show off player, but that doesn’t cut it in the NBA.

Wearing a shirt with “prodigy” might as well say “ I need to be humbled”.
When he's ready he'll get his shot. Playing in the NBA is a great opportunity, but not the only opportunity.
He should of went juco in Florida to get to d1
He’s playing at LA FITNESS lol was trash
Butler and Lin were athletic....BIG difference
It’s a bad system. He is definitely better than a lot of d1 players I would cook regularly.
He didn’t throw the chair that was a lie
He was supposed to go play for better schools with better competition when he actually became a freshman
BAHAHA...... I love how that greedy oldman thought the kid was his meal ticket but got NUFFINS afterwards. 'Prodigy'..... .what a joke. I guess a few cocky dribbles mean you're a superstar now.
he could play overseas, philippines would welcome him, he could be the best player there considering the competition
I don’t get why they call him basketballs next big thing or an nba prodigy or destined for greatness, like, what?
Dudes in college now Playing for the basketballl team
It's just ironic that these so-called wonder kids in basketball do not attain the necessary height to play in the big leagues.
His pops just saw dollar signs
Full of himseld goes down
that guy isnt homeless , the thumbnail is deceptive
His sheer arrogance was the main reason for his downfall
