Jahzare Jackson: The next SHAQ?

[RoyceDa59]

Can he even touch rim?

[cupcakesnake]

saw this next SHAQ subject line and was waiting for a video of this 8th grader throwing down dunks and beating everyone down the floor.

This kid looks like a hundred other giants who dont have the mobility or explosiveness to play NBA basketball. You clearly have zero idea what made Shaquille O'Neal unique.

make a thread in a few years if this kid has a physical transformation and can run and cut. right now he isn't worth a thread.

Rich man's Samardo Samuels

OP obviously never saw Shaq play. He was a 7-foot ballerina, footwork so smooth and fast, with explosiveness and stamina. Maybe this kid could sit behind a desk and analyse a game like Shaq, but no way he ever plays like him being that slow, it takes more than being tall and obese to make it in the league.

Also - if he is 7 foot, every other 14-year-old on the court must be 6'4, which seems unlikely. He looks like a slow overweight 6'6 14 year old. I hope he has someone that can get him healthy before it's too late.

Oh, I have no idea what Shaq was all about do I?

Hum...is this a serious thread?
Can't even see the kid getting into the NBA, what the hell is this....

There'll never be another Shaq in this new era

And does any of that look remotely like what this slow, overweight, early developing giant looks like?

Shaq had fast twitch muscle with great footwork, this kid is a plodder.

[anatomicbomb]

if that pic with Zion isn't a weird angle he looks 6-8

Probably an old pic, he was measured 7 foot recently.

Keep in mind though Zion himself looks close to 6-8 now.

Maybe shoes vs no-shoes in the locker room, too

[Karate Diop]

Kids these days must only know Shaq from his time in the studio... Otherwise they'd never make a comparison as insulting as this.
