Been paying child support for 12 years.
Anyway, on a more appreciative note, if he really is 12 with that fluidity, just imagine what his footwork will look like 10 years from now.

Even a 2 footed free throw line dunk might be possible. I saw Kilganon attempt it.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Come on bro. Kids who grew up in the 50's and 60's had to do drills for incoming nukes and kids in the 70's/80's(like me) had movies like the Day After and all the other stuff like Mad max about post ww3 dystopias. The news today isn't any worse imo. It's just the media always wanting to have your complete attention. People can come here to get away from all that crap without having people guilt trip about them for daring to talk about how good someone might be at bb in 10 years.

I have heard about WW3 going to happen since I can remember and over the age of 40 now.

Respectfully, you really gotta log off the internet for a bit if you are catastrophizing this much. :lol:

It's amazing what children can accomplish when you force them to dedicate their lives to a single pursuit at an incredibly young age.
Sad, for sure, but also amazing.

Whether he's 12 or 18, the athleticism is impressive.

He moves very well at 6'9". Certainly a future NBA prospect for scouts to keep a close eye on
