I wish I was a little bit taller...
If you've ever belted out Skee-Lo, and really meant it, Julian Newman is here to show you that you can still be a baller.
Newman, an 11-year-old fifth grader from Orlando, Florida, stands at just 4'5" but is making a habit of embarassing players two feet taller and a several years older.
It would be impressive if he was playing varsity for his junior high, but Newman is playing for the high school varsity team at Downey Christian School. And he isn't just playing, he's dominating.
Here's the description on the YouTube video posted by "scoutsfocus" on December 19:
Julian Newman, a 4'5" 5th grade hoops phenom out of Downey Christian School in Orlando, Florida, has been tearing apart varsity opponents that are 6 and 7 years older than him. He leads the state of Florida in assists at 11.5 a game and is 19th in the nation in that category.
Last night, he scored 14 points, dished 8 assists and had 3 steals against Agape Christian which is one of the top private schools in the Orlando area. Two months ago, he scored 91 points in only 3 quarters of a middle school game which led to his move to varsity.

Southpaw, even you don't believe fully in what you said. You couldn't even commit in your lie.
Stereotypes are true because it's what we want to see. It doesn't matter if a certain group of people seem to do something similiar, it's called a trend, it's not an exact that follows that group forever. It doesn't define who they are. Things can easily buck the other way.
You need to stop watching reality tv. You're actually defining your beliefs based on the info they feed you. You do realize that reality tv isn't real, right? They look for actors or extreme cases, and then script things. It's like watching a movie based on a real event. You are going to get a ton of fluff...
By the way, if you are so insecure over someone so young, I feel bad for your children. You are going to be threatened by them and treat them as such their entire life. You should change your ways and believe what I say, because I'm right 84% of the time.— MFPhils- Love this kids skills. When is Philly.com going to get the comment board through facebook that stops these faceless trolls from hijacking every comment board. This is not free-speech. I wish Anonymous would hack this website and put all the racists and hate-mongers info out there for the public to view. Let us see what these ghouls say when we all have a chance to see the man behind the curtain.
