This Video of 4-Foot-5 Fifth Grader Dominating High Schoolers on the Basketball Court Will Blow Your Mind
The players that surround him on the court may have a few feet — and years — on him, but don’t let that fool you. Fifth-grader Julian Newman has got game.
Standing just 4-feet, 5-inches tall, he managed to score 91 points in three quarters of a middle school game, and now he’s the starting point guard for Downey Christian High School in Florida because he’s just that good.
As Business Insider points out, Julian’s father is the head coach of the boys high school team. But after watching the videos below, you will see that the pint-sized baller could’ve made the team without the parental advantage.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 9:59amI think this is faked and I’ll tell you why. This guy has NO corn rows which means he’s a corn ball white and if we believe this, we’re being cornholed!

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 12:24pmSoft how long have you been a Democrat racist? Only a true racist would say such things and we all know that type of talk only come from the Democrats side. You can blame Republicans all you want, but people are learning the real history of Democrats.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 8:38amSorry, the kid’s good, but I just don’t buy it. Those guys were barely covering him and should have been yelling “Ole!” when they let him run by him. There’s something else going on here that is not part of the article.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 3:52pmHe did score 91 points in three quarters. I couldn’t score 91 points shooting free throws. The ball is too big.

Posted on December 23, 2012 at 2:56amNobody was even trying to cover the kid, and the guy the kid was ‘defending’ was ridiculously inept. Sorry, but he wasn’t dominating anything or anybody. But he can dribble. Perhaps he could win a dribbling participation trophy?

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 8:30amYes in 2 years, unfortunately he has a career ending injury and still cant read or do math. The kids real good ( 91 pts–haters ) but there’s no substituting a good education.

They guy he’s “guarding” completely mails it in. Ridiculous shots, poor shot selection, etc.

Posted on December 23, 2012 at 2:59amClearly the video clip is, quite literally, a joke. They’re making fun of video clips of supposed ‘phenom’ kids playing sports. If it’s actually meant to be serious, and the headline wasn’t meant tongue in cheek, we’re dealing with people who have never played basketball before, or who have never watched anybody who was seriously playing the game. Either this was a joke, or the older guys are letting him have his way with them for the sake of the camera they must know is rolling.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 4:15am“Dominating” ?
if I want ramped up bogus headlines I would go to the huffington post, yeah he is a good dribbler but he didn’t dominate what so ever. Maybe in a few years
Against other 5th graders, yeah he probably dominates.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 7:33amWas thinking the same thing. He is only a good ball handler at this point. The kids good but the headline was sensationalized. He did not dominate anything. Way too many cuts in the film. Each cut was a wild shot basket not made or a good block right back into the kids face.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 3:50amHe Has way too much talent for a fifth grader, others in his class might feel upset. That talent needs to be tax, and when we spread the talent around everyone will be happy.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 4:27amHi what will blow your mind is a comprehensive understanding of what is being done to our beloved America if you don’t know.
The cadre of intellectuals that have trained Gramsci shock troops of teachers and media hacks to take this which was a Judeo/Chrsitan culture down from within…and the beauty of it is the victims of it will be fighting for it:
The breakdown of society in general is by design to take down a Judeo/Christian country from within to make the country so corrupt it stinks and drive us in a direction designed to destroy us. There is a deep cancer rotting us and there is no area this has not touched thanks to Fabians, Frankfurt School, Antonio Gramsci, Mattechine Society and Committee’s of Correspondence, Alinkski and his ilk – all the way to Obama.
If you don’t know who all these people are and how they fit the Agenda to take America down
This is the most comprehensive, best movie I have seen pulling all this together. Watch it. Share it.
It is free on line for the moment

Thank you for posting the trailer. We have watched the video and made it available for many over the past year. It is a work of truth that could have turned AMERICA around, if the ignorant masses could have heard, seen and understood. Thank GOD for Curtis Bowers!

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 1:56amHe’s close to the ground, while most players are very tall. When he grows to normal height, he will be the one at a disadvantage.

Posted on December 21, 2012 at 9:34amI would like to know his grades. It’s possible that he has been trained to be a sports entertainer. That’s the only way to get ahead in the ghetto. If his grades are high, his life will be like West or Cain. A life of constant attacks from your own people must be horrible. Best wishes to him. Maybe he will manage to undo the damage Sharpton and Jackson have done.
