"I Don't Wanna Be Known As A High School Legend" What Happened To KYREE WALKER? Stunted Growth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- Today’s feature I can still remember having some of the craziest high school freshman mixtapes on UA-cam, and in of them you could tell he was much bigger, faster and more talented than his class. Without knowing his true age at the time, I thought, wow, this kid looks to be the next phenomenon in basketball or a least a prospect worth keeping an eye on. Fast forward from the day I first saw him play to now and things has gone totally opposite than as planned and you ask yourself why? How did this player much more advanced than the kids on the floor with him basically not take a step in the right direction since then. He was once quoted saying "I Don't Want To Be Known As a High School Legend" But in the end, that's exactly what he may be remembered as. Can Kyree Walker Make the NBA? What Happened To KYREE WALKER? Stunted Growth

Can Kyree Walker Still Make The League? Or Did He Miss His Window?
He still can....we need a wesley witherspoon stunted growth story 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
No especially now that players almost 5 years younger than him can be in the league next year
He missed his window.
This probably the fist video I seen on me in the last 2 years. It made me laugh honestly. I mean no disrespect to anyone but why everyone gotta say something about my career and what I did. I’m not perfect person. Things happen in my life I wish it never happened, but I live with my choices. I’m only 21 man. I got long career in front of me. When I make it to the league a lot of people can’t say shit. I’m just blessed man.
We need Wilt to stunted growth
I remember when I was a kid (37 now) you had to be REALLY good to get noticed. Played in the ABCD camp and got toasted by truly elite talent. Now UA-cam makes every kid a star by making highlight reels in lay up lines. it's too easy to be overrated
Facts!
I’m 45 and remember truly great high school talent would be recognized. Players like Jason Kidd, Chris Webber, Glen Robinson, Allan Henderson, Juwan Howard, etc we’re considered elite high school players.
Now days, everyone that can dunk are considered elite.
@@mightymacdiesal12 those guys are hof also
Exactly I’m 38 you really had to be great in the early 2000s
Facts
“Just be a high school legend”
I’d take it. HS legend gets you enough clout to go D1 and get drafted. ESPN gave him an 81 Grade and 14 offers. Sitting out a senior season, then choosing to just “train for the draft” was just the wrong route.
He goes to a D1 gets more exposure, coaching and structure even for a season, you can get drafted off that.
He let that lil fame get into his head especially thinking that his so good that he can retire & come back anytime lol.
Honestly I feel bad for this kid. Was super hyped up on social media playing lack luster competition was given terrible advice by someone loved and trusted now a new crop of players are here and hes more then likely done at 22. Damn
UA-cam was/is the best or worst thing that happened to a lot of these kids I would see video titles like the best 6th grader in the world, or the best this, most athletic this. They are all highlights, click bait sometimes you fall in love with the lights and don't do the work. Which leads to a lack of fundamentals, team play etc. If he was training for the league his conditioning looks terrible. Whoever was training him needed to address this.. I'm not sure, but if he was 19 turning 20, some states won't let you play HS/Prep ball.. appreciate this one
Facts if you watch Ball Is Life you be thinking these dudes are going to be no doubt future NBA All-Stars 🤦🏿♂️
Dead ass most of these overhyped high school youtube dudes are straight busts
@@GHOST91141 everyone one of them. Smh
Over a year ago, I said he took the wrong path to try to get to the league. People called me a hater. I was just being realistic. I wish him luck, but the NBA is not in his future
Dude I said 3 years ago and called a hater and coon ..dead serious
Facts I don't care who you are you can't just not play a whole year and still expect to get picked
Now he gotta get a job & live off memories
The greatest thing adults can bring to kids is perspective. A broader more nuanced way of looking at the world around him. This kid clearly had none of that because he couldn't see that the world keeps spinning while you're taking years off from hooping. The saddest part was he actually thought he was going to get drafted, when he wasn't on any board and hadn't been mentioned by anyone - but because he had no perspective all he saw was what he experienced. And now he's another year older and there's another crop of young talent sweeping past him and he never got the perspective to see it coming.
💯
He more of UA-cam star than a high school star to me. He should have created a UA-cam channel when he had the clout same with Julian Newman.
Lmao 😂
Only Newman and his dad thought he had a chance ;dude would literally go play 15 year old kids and brag and say he had 40 points 17 assist etc ;after jacking up 30 shots in one half same and 1 mixtape move and jack a three while dribbling 15 mph.😂😂😂😂
But technically Julian is a pro, he gets paid to play basketball.
Doesn't matter how horrible he plays
He gets paid to do it..
Mikey Williams, is worth Millions off of Social Media alone.
And with NIL in effect it's only gonna get worse.
Facts, but he still could/should. Imagine G-League vlogs documenting the struggles of pursuing an NBA opportunity, especially in the era of two-ways deals & so many high schoolers (& even foreigners) making a jump to the G-League. As much opportunity as it presents to young players, it make it that much more difficult to stick in the league. The NBA moves at light speed. It’s insane.
He said he got the body of a grizzled vet 😂😂😂
There should have been a disclaimer on all Kyree's videos back in the day like 'DISCLAIMER: this kid is 2 years older than everyone else on the court'
A 3 star sitting out a season lol smh egos crazy
he was a 5 star before sittin out my guy. Top 5 actually
He was way too cocky and he looked outta shape.. Slightly overweight short arms.. I remember on Gils show and buddy was brushing Gil off n talking like he was the pro and knew all the moves to make .. I knew that wasn't gonna work out for him
shabaz mohammed 2.0
👀
Been watching your old videos waiting for another. This one was needed 🙏🏾
People said for years he was older. But he was suppose to be a college freshman halfway through his sophomore year of high-school. He still should've been playing against worthy competition somewhere. At least playing a year or 2 across seas should've been mentioned to him.
Not playing your senior year is really a horrible decision. I wonder who advised him to sit out.
He technically had 2 senior years
He definitely should’ve went to college if that was the plan all along.
Should've of went overseas & got a bag at least. Like how to gonna work on ur game without competition.
@@Dakidpepe he could’ve did a year or two overseas
You should do a series on top mixtape hoopers who didn’t make it.
Facts
He pulled a Lenny Cooke
😂😂😂😂
Called it as soon as i saw his talk with Gilbert. He was delusional. Shame.
Yea that made no sense, and Gil was right there backing it.
@@stuntedgrowth Gilbert's commentary is so maddening because at times it's very insightful and innovative.. and at other times it's completely backwards lol
@@lefty206 I think Gil just really liked that guy and believed everything he says. But he knows. He's gotta know that was a terrible move.
@@stuntedgrowth agree
If you going to do this Guy you should've done Jeremy Tyler first. He Left after Junior Year of High school. Decommited from Louisville, Went to play ball in Japan and season got canceled by a earthquake. struggled to stay in the NBA and played overseas ever sense.
There were two walkers in that class, one in the east, the other in the west. I bet on the east Walker, Lonnie, to make it to the league. He did.
G League Ignite is the new stunted growth. Michael Foster & Jaden Hardy would have been top 10 picks if they went to college. Peyton Watson snuck in, Shaedon Sharp DIDN'T PLAY! The difference between 10-20 million over the next 4 years...
They might've got expose in college
Can't be stunted growth before we've seen them in the next 3 years. Sure, if they're out of the league within the next 5 years you can say that, but they are more prepared for the NBA at this point and hardy could mess around and be the missing piece for the mavs
@𝕴𝖈𝖍𝖎 𝖋𝖆𝖙𝖊 it's definitely a growth stunt for Foster, undrafted, fighting for a spot in summer league to start over...in the G-League, this time without the cover of Ignite. Same for Hardy if he only gets a 2 way. Foster was comprobale to Duren, and Hardy to Sharpe, we'll see how it plays out...
@@andrebryant5081 If they get exposed then the point is to work on your game and come back that factor is anymore of a problem in this new culture then it is anything everyone capitalizes on moments kids reclassify, take HS as a joke spend 5 months on a college team then are tossed into a grown man league at 17,18...The idea of staying in school and developing is almost laughed at now and viewed as a slight when if you look at recent drafts...its the 2 year college players that are now producing at a high level...If you have the one and done talent fine but not everyone does and everyone wants to take the one and done route i wish we could uplift the Overtime League and the G League without it negatively effecting kids going to college when they should i understand chasing a bag but theres a difference between being dumb and chasing a bag in Europe because you chose to come when you werent ready and being smart waiting until your ready to contribute then chasing a bag in the NBA
@@BostonBori92 At a certain level you can't just work on your game. Most guys aren't view as talented once they are 20 or 21 and aren't the very best or come from winning environment
I mean, he's in the g league, he has a chance. I wouldn't count him out right now but for a guy who was 16 playing 8th graders, he had a lot of opportunities.
@Erno Banks No disrespect to Kyree, but I’m glad that route to the league is being destroyed.
Gp2 didn't find a NBA home until the Warriors so he still got time if he really wants it
GP2 went to college
I was definitely rooting for this kid for more reasons than one. These social media highlight tapes send these kids through the roof and make them think they are better than what they are. These HS rankings is a popularity show and so is loading up these AAU teams. Having the wrong people in your corner can really hurt more than everything else. Looks like he was taught to get buckets and do nothing more. Don't rebound definitely don't defend and forget FT shooting just get buckets. Don't even look like his advisors put him in the weight room definitely put him at the dinner table tho.
As soon as you mentioned he‘s 2 years older than his peers I knew he was screwed
It’s crazy how many athletes choose to intentionally repeat a grade for athletic advantage, he should have been in the 2018 or 2019 class, I’m from his 2020 class and was born in 2002. I just don’t think it’s worth intentionally holding back just for a bigger advantage.
@@mariofan2867 thank you!
Daniel Ewing - duke , Anthony Randolph lsu , jareal McNeil - Marquette, taquan dean Louisville , Sean foster Vanderbilt
Stop rushing to the league. Every year there’s a crop of hot prospect that are deemed next up. Don’t get lost in the mix rushing to the league if you plan on getting there, and STAYING long term.
Dude should have just reclassified and went to college
That would mean you would need to graduate early...
This reminds me of the same situation that happened to Lenny Cooke
When people said he was older back in the day, I thought they were joking just because he was bigger than everyone else! Man was actually a whole 2 years older than everyone WTF
Amazing content 🔥
Dam I forgot about dude and that wasn’t even that long ago
Lol it wasn't that long ago he was hopping against Zion in college
@@andrebryant5081 this dude never went to college.....what the fuck are you talking about?
@@andrebryant5081 he didn't go to college😐
💯💯
Can you see if you could do a video on Jared Jeffries or andris biendrins
Boy was always buns to me he played like a big 30 yr old tht used to be nice 😂😂😂
Yea he was atleast 3 years older than the kids he played in highschool
Yup
Facts, always looked like the uncle on the court sloppy as hell.
@@fivestarzboss4261 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🫢🫢🫢 uncle Frank tht was all American in 88 but couldn’t leave the streets alone
Can you do one on Jalen Leque?
Yeah what happened to him
please do Dennis Smith Jr
He did one for him already.
Unfortunately ever since his freshman year I always felt his career would pan out like this. Now knowing his age gap it makes sense. Wish him the best tho
Can you do a video on Vernon Carey Jr. or Nico Mannion?
Nico Manion Just got offered big bank in Italy and a way bigger roll and plus he’s From Italian decent I believe he be back in the league
In my state u graduate hs usually as an 18 year old. I graduated hs in 2018 as an 18 year old kyree was still playing hs ball 2 years later and he was only born 6 months later than me
*Well, he is known as a high school legend.*
Sounds like Gilbert gave him the bad advice. He skipped hs/college to workout with Gil’s personal trainer. But I suspect he was already dealing with eligibility issues.
Can you do Eddie House?
Europe. China or Australia. Wish they measured when wingspan. Would like to know where his fits with similar sized pros.
You should make a video about trae jefferson
Yo said he looks like a veteran 😂😂😂
Can you please do video on why top 20 ncaa ppg scorers go undrafted?
Do Kai Sotto,I think it'll be a great story.
He wasn’t doing any conditioning it looks like
The NBA is different These dudes look like Gods on UA-cam.
I remember hearing him on Gilbert’s podcast and him saying he’d sit out his Senior year of high school and that made NO sense to me. Lol
Ouch... what a terrible decision. I realize that 99.9% chance that the person giving him advice in his life in regards to basketball is almost certainly a family member or close friend. Everyone please take note. Just because someone is older than you & loves you doesn't mean they know what is best for you & you should do. Never just take what one person wants you to do & do it without question. Hell list your options, take advice from loved ones but then also other trusted individuals take on it. Your coach, a youth leader in your community. He'll a former player who looked to have it all but then featured on stunted growth & see where it went wrong for him.
Hopefully this kid has at least learned not to just follow what this one person tells him to do without at least getting other perspectives on the situation.
Same with Patrick McCaw
Brah I knew when I was watching his videos a few years ago this kid was much older than his comp. He got his name at a camp against 8th graders when he was 15 going on 16 lol
Do a Malik Newmann
Do Eddy Curry next
Pro game moves so fast 💨 that by the time you blink your moment over and your easily forget with all the new talents.
He definitely looks to heavy for his position, work ethic is 🔑!
But dude had his time to shine plenty of exposure 🤷🏾♂️
Do one on Liangelo Ball and Jonathan Hargett I think that’s how you spell his last name
Do Korleone Young
He has...
Do one for Patrick McCaw starting with MIAing his way out of Golden State to now in the G league in a matter of less than 3 years.
That’s unfair. The serious back/neck injury was his downfall. He couldn’t help that.
@@FLValentino No, he was welcomed back to GS the next season, but he didn’t want to prove himself by beating out Nick Young, decided to disappear until the team released him, Cavs (crappy team) got rid of him after one week, played even less with TOR during their championship run, got a better opportunity via Covid season and yet they got rid of him and now is in the G league. Many people thought he was a steal in the draft.
@@DMalltheway Damn that’s unfortunate. I always thought it was just the injuries. Well at least he can say he won three rings his first three years lol.
@@FLValentino Yeah well he was sick of that, he wanted to play more, but he just wasn’t as good he thought. He should’ve signed the GS contract and worked his way up into a rotational player.
Someone who is not as good as he thinks he is. Another highschool jock who learned nothing and had no clue or work ethic. Great job JC.
Yup, there may have been academic issues with his eligibility
A Fannie pack tho lol , I didn't see that lol
This kyrie walker reminds me of a Andre Blanche from his highlights...how about Vernon Maxwell MADMAX or JOHN STARKS stunted growth they both somewhat mirrored each other inspite of starks having them NBA jam hops .
Thought u would at least have mentioned goimg to college for a year or two.
Have we seen one on Evan Turner yet. What ever happened to him🤔
Hes done Evan Turner. I watched that vid...
You should do one for David Logan. An absolute bucket during his days in Indianapolis.
He looks like Hit Boy
This is the classic big fish ,lil pond scenario. It has derailed so many promiscing athletes by enticing them with lies there whole life only to figure out when u get to the next level you may never have been that guy
Khyree Burnett going to be the next Superstar 2038 🏀
Jamel 530 Thomas do that story
He said that he doesn't have the right size meaning his body but look at mugsey bouges🤔
Mugsey played PG and benefit alot being Drose and Westbrook level of athleticism at PG wasn't normal.
Plays a pf game but has no wing skills at wing size
@@lordoffaiyum9727 Yep and only few guys Charles Barkley and Draymond Green ever last long in the NBA small at PF position
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kimba Irving up next
These kids nowadays get to do anything they won't(keep switching schools, making they own leagues, now getting paid) it's ruining sports
He's just a worse Shabazz Muhammad, nothing to see here!
Facts Shabazz was able to trick the Timberwolves to draft him first round
That's a name I haven't heard in awhile
antonio mcdyess!
JC, Walt "Wizard" Williams should be the next Stunted Growth subject.
Why? He had a great career
@@lefty206 Walt "The Wizard" Williams was supposed to be the next Magic Johnson. He was on 6 different teams in an 11 season career not lasting any more than 3 seasons with any one team. He was a strong 3pt shooter but that's it.
@@buzzerbeater3350 Wasnt he on those shitty Kings teams in the 90s?
He still young bruh lol give em some time
Who idea was it to let him play with kids younger? Hurt his development
Neva believed in him at all ppl like him spend too much time on live talkin trash or playing street ball against trash competition instead of wrking on his craft
8:27 I'm sorry, it's pretty obvious that he was close to being a grown man playing against middle school lookin kids in that clip. It's not a good look.
Why he thought not going to college was a good idea i dont know
Reached full physical maturity as a frosh & was above his peers. Never got better. Work ethic? Didn’t have the right ppl on corner? Hmm.. I saw this coming w this guy. He seemed comfy just going off his given talent. Didn’t see him getting much better from frosh year in hs. Anything but humble. Could have been like jalen brown also from the atl as he kinna had a similar attacking the basket game, but for all those reasons stunted. Dude was also grossly overrated/hyped by those dunk vids imo. He was a dunker, but lacked a great all around game. Took plays off. Could have slimmed down. Only so much you can use your body when peers catch up physical wise & you don’t improve.
Great hs talent & ots just that. Don’t think dude even ever played college ball at all did he?
Do you think things would've went differently for him if he played OverSeas?
i wanna see alonzo mourning next.
You are crazy! Alonzo Mourning had a great career
should have stayed in high school and played his senior year. And after went to college or G League.
I think he was 2 years older than his class..
He was too old but he should have went to college ball out at smaller D1 and go late first early second round
I might be wrong for saying this, but he reminds me of James Harden a more athletic version.
Dude got waived by G League squad last week and isn't on any G roster. That cannot be good.
I thought he was gonna be the man
DO KAHLIL WHITNEY
Do Greg Oestertag who played for the Jazz in the 90's and Jameer Nelson and Rafer Alston
Rafer Alston exceeded exception and Jameer Nelson was a All Star and starter Greg Oestertag was expected to be anything but a big 7 footer
As memory serves Jameer wasn’t hyped. He was a four year player who stacked up awards pre big 1 and done era. He was also undersized. His biggest selling point was you’re getting a guy who can run an offense and who had a good game, not a superstar.
Goes out of the lottery, almost gets a ring, goes to an all-star game, and sticks around for nearly 15 season and is now an exec.
If anything he’s a guy who didn’t have a stunt but outplayed his potential.
I don't think anyone look at you like a high school legend. I mean you played bully boy as a youth on the AAU circuit. But what did you accomplish at the high school level. You needed to go to a regular high school and play D1 BASKETBALL.
He just got release from the g league smh hope he make it
Immediately thought of Donovan Mitchell seeing this dude
BOL BOL, what is going on with him!?
Kyree really wasn't a high school legend - he was more of a middle school AAU legend because he was playing against kids half his size in many cases. He only had one really good year of high school ball when he was a freshman at Moreau Catholic in Hayward leading them to the state finals. It was kind of down hill from there when he went the prep school route but not sure it would have turned out differently if he would have stayed at Moreau Catholic but I guess we'll never know.
Sad part is skipping your senior yr killed him
I’m just glad he survived that trainer that ruined Gilbert Arenas and Blake griffins knees.
He's the 2k20s version of Schea Cotton
He should have reclassified and went to college early, instead of not playing senior year.
