I love watching/listening to these types of features with young athletes. You can tell he's really just a kid still, the amount of confidence he expresses in other stuff besides basketball is preposterously high. Especially since they're hobbies he just picked up and he hasn't measured himself against pros.

@@loikcharles607 well, you're interpretation skills are lacking. Nobody is saying he can't have confidence in himself, but declaring yourself among the best at something when you haven't measured yourself against proven people is beyond ridiculous. Even Michael Jordan who's widely recognized as the most competitive athlete ever always said he loved the competition as a measuring stick. He wasn't parading around claiming to be at the level of MLB pros when he was actually still playing A ball.
