    Is it me or did it seem like no one really tried to block his shot.

    Hate to be the guy guarding him. Don't want to look like I got schooled by 11 yr old, but also don't want to look like I'm taking advantage of his height and block every shot.

    You are not a prodigy unless you are like Rubio and Lebron who were playing against pro players since they were 15 years old.

    I bet you no one is going to hear of this kid in 10 years. None of these prodigies you ever hear about being in the NBA, apart from the taller ones like LeBron.

    My grandma would look like a prodigy if those same guys played defense on her.

    ON the video, at about 1:13, he carries and palms the ball, like most "stars" do nowadays and no one calls it. :eek:

    I only watched first two minutes. Did not see him play any defense, I wonder how many points he gives up in a game. ;)
