Aquille Carr: Size Doesn't Matter

At 5'6 140lbs, Aquille Carr always finds himself looking up at other players on the court. Those same players always find themselves shocked at the athleticism and talent Carr brings to the hardwood. Carr is an electrifying scorer and made a name for himself nationally at the 2010 Nike EYBL Session #1.

My lil cuz on top of his game, congrats lil cuz keep shining on them haters......

[@davidhall4401]

Thank you for lettin these clowns know that they don't understand basketball this dude is by far the most talented small man i have ever seen and this video was uploaded when my man was only a freshman and he took the $750k to play overseas.

[@jerzkeem]

I wish this kid well. I like this kid :D!

[@treway50]

u already . kobe's on fire

[@16Wagger]

the 8 people that disliked this must have gotten done up by him.

[@Funpants94]

size doesn't matter....athleticism does....

[@cornfednebraskaneer]

I know he was gone get his, they ain't know I's gone get mines like det.

[@SuperCoontown]

@SuperCollin321 funnier thing is he has already been held back and there is serious talk about him failing junior year

[@whiteflash1323]

@Curtis321ful : Is he really 17 in the 9th grade? That means he's been held back at least twice and will be ineligible for his senior and maybe even junior year. It happened to Lenny Cooke.

[@carolinabred25]

Whoever read this make sure aquille reads it he needs to develop a left hand i have only watched a couple videos so far but i have noticed that everytime he drive he uses his right hand even if he is on the left side of the basket and everytime he drives his left hand is jus a transition hand he never starts his drive with the left or finish with the left in my opinion he is talented but if he played against a higher level they are jus going to make him go left because he can't use that hand

[@Ril014]

size doesnt matter in the sense u can still dominate if ur little not in the sense how u ge scouted

[@tyrone2015]

aahhhh mi niqqa playin wit b eliteee

[@mattcottom50]

i want to know what song that is, cuz i could use this for my mix-tape.

[@DaBeSToFIRaWnESS]

@thyre12 They don't really rank freshman on rivals. And this kid is actually pretty sick he dropped 39 on Josh Selby, one of the best players in class of 2010. Stop hating.

[@kflash154]

i bet hes gotten homecoming king twice already lol

[@robijamessnoop]

name of the song please

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

@clevelandcavs58 his center of gravity would be different, he wouldn't be half as quick, and he'd be a completely different player...

[@Mrcinaable]

@averydagirl Well he is 5'6 and 17,he might grow another inch or 2 till he is 19.But I doubt because u stop growing when you reach 18. :)

[@GeneralJWS]

what song is this?

[@Benlakieman5]

size DOES matter he'll NEVER make it in the nba solely because of his size and i dont think he's any spud webb

[@sunnydreux]

@breezy646 You do realise 16&17 is the average age of a Junior in HS

[@iceill3425]

@JHop873 NO HE WASNT GOOD... HE RARELY GOT IN. HE JUST WAS "ATHLETIC ENOUGH" TO MAKE THE TEAM

[@mcjohnson31]

if he was 6'3 his skill wouldn't be as good...and he already is a top recruit

[@SLyCeMD]

I knew he was gon' get his... but they aint know i was gon' get mine

[@MeetMeAtTheRim]

I'm pretty sure he is a sophomore now. Being 17 in the 10th grade means you reclassified/held back once which is very commonplace.

[@Gymthingz]

his team is good, n he on it n is nasty like where do they do that at?

[@MyNikeSocksON]

@Internetkiddy Incorrect. Actually people with shorter arms, tend to have better ball handling, trust me. With shorts arms....nevermind its hard to explain. But t has alot to do with strength and how your arms feel out.

[@EluSivEPrOdiGy1]

@dnicedtm15 lol i am not sure know he was just having some fun with the interview at the end he even thoguh he was going to get shut down so idk how he was being cocky but it is peoples oppinion

[@iceill3425]

@hurstUNT man I'm not even tlkn bout Aquille Carr. I like dude game, n yea he definitely goin to the NBA... I'm tlkn bout Nate Robinson. look at da convo thoroughly b4 u say nonsense

[@iceill3425]

@JHop873 its 100 roster spots on a college football team... he was known for basketball so they jus gave him a shot becuz he tried out. 18 tackles and 1 interception

[@ccc1212]

A lot of people say this but truthfully if he was 6'3" he wouldn't have the agility/speed he has, his center of gravity would not be as low, which means his ballhandling and ability to weave through defenders would not be as great, and his lightning quick reactions would be reduced.He would have to rely on his shot more as oppose to his quickness and speed, and the kid can't really shoot very well. He'd still be a real good player though.

[@NathanielMBuchanan]

@Luckalini So whats he gonna do when he gets to college and doesnt go to class? HE WONT BE PLAYING. Hes not gonna be able to do that kinda shit when he faces a John Henson, or Jared Sullinger type player. I know for a fact that he cant shoot or it would be showing ALOT more jumpshots. When he takes it in the paint in the college level hes gonna get it sent into the stands. The guy is good when playing against players 3 and 4 years younger than him, but hes gonna get ABUSED in college.

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 ya boy Barea a chance. Its funny how before somebody get in the NBA theres ALWAYS a bunch of haters like yourself saying somebody cant play becuz size or whatever. Then they they come in and PROVE to yall crazy behinds(like JJ BArea) did that they can play at the highest level and yall all on they jock! The same chance u gave Barea to prove hisself, give Aquille that chance also. You never know if he'll be better than ya boy. I believe he will.

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 Come on man, JJ really bout 5-8 5'9, they always give 2inches in the NBA. And you proved my point yet AGAIN. Before JJ got in the NBA everybody said the same shit. he was too small. Mind you JJ was UNDRAFTED becuz they thought he was too little. he eventually went thru summer league and got picked up. Now he's an inportant piece. For you to tell me with Aquille speed he cant get steals, you a fool lol.The shortness work to his advantage just like JJ. Give him a chance like u gave

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 Smh. Talent is what matters. Not size. Til yall can explain to me why Mugsy Bogues and Spud webb was effective in the NBA, then yall point is invalid. Spud didnt avergae 16ppg one of his years for no reason. Or Mugsy did dish out over 7 and a half assists per game for no reason. Warrick Dunn was nice in the NFL. The smaller u are, the more talent u just got to have becuz of ur size. And Aquille got it. just like Mugsy and Spudd n Nate Rob had it.

[@TechMansoor]

I can only hope someone in his camp is taking care of him!!! Meaning, paying attention to his diet, his workouts, and trying to get him to speak a bit better!!!!! This little brother absolutely has a future, but he has to get a few more gifts before taking it to college and then hopefully the pro's. Hopefully if he can get up to at least 5'8 or 5'9 he can become a freak like Nate but with better handles and hopefully facilitating skills....I just hope someone is doing this for him!!!!

[@nateplaya88]

@ Luckalini, As a black college student athlete with a high GPA thats just an ignorant comment that gpa doesn't matter. How is being smart even a matter of race. Smh. Also that is not what all colleges are looking for, they are looking for smart young athletes who can get the job done off and on the court.

[@nateplaya88]

Dude got hell of game, awesome! But how is this guy suppose to be finish high school in 2013 playing ball when he is turning 19 next month. how you gonna be 20 and half years playing high school basketball as a senior in 2013? I don't even think that is legal. I was 17 my whole senior year man I'm just sayingg!

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 So REALISTICALLY givem a chance like ever other small player. Dude has EXCEPTIONAL talent and EVERYBODY cn see it. He is better than SPud and Mugsy at his age now. So i dnt see the "REALISM" if folks sayin his size wud matter if those guys sizes didnt. thats realistic. "Believe higher than everyone else, and GREATNESS is achieved". Truest statement ever...

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 Plus you just proved my point by saying who ever Aquille burns by the defending team will give help. And vice versa. When he play Defense, he'll have help also. So whats yall point? JJ barea, is a liabilty on defense. But Dallas won they championship and he was an important peice to they run wasnt he? thought so buddy...

[@NYCbrownman1]

5''6??? How the hell are you planning on getting in the nba unless you are standing out like crazy and if you do make it to the nba your would probably be below a 70 percent overall rank. If you were 6''0 than you would be something. So size does matter.

[@FlushBoss]

Size matters to a certain degree, this is in high school, in college, the gus will be a LOT bigger, and then there's the NBA where you've got 7 footers patrolling the paint, shame but I don't think he's going to make it...

[@and1balla4life]

man guys saying hes playin varsity dis and hes playin kids younger that. dude dropped 39 and 15 on selby now member of the grizzlies; whos been killing all season. aquille can hoop stop tryna fault the kid and do YOUR thing

[@MisterBinx]

Can you imagine this kid standing next to some of the centers in the NBA?Dwight Howard, Greg Oden, Andrew Bynum, or Yao Ming. Crazy to think this kid will probably be playing in the same league as guys that size.

[@snowcrab1234]

@chemiraboo23 nah he aint sixteen he 18 n in 10th grade. i aint tryna knock him tho cuz he raw as fuck. hes tha truth. but he got a physical advantage over errbody (xept his height) hes still tha fuckin shit tho

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 Somebody with exceptional Talent like him with his speed, he can play bigger players. Speed kills in the NBA, and theyll beef him up like Nate Rob or Mugsy. But yeah, to each its own i guess.

[@profamexx1]

that guy is like god to me i wish i has his hops and handles time to start training . I suck and i am on the bench on my ball team i going to train hard to become a starter soon

[@SupremeTeamFP]

@Truegenius23 Plus yall STILL aint told e why Mugsy Bogues and Spudd Webb was able to play inthe NBA compared to why Aquille cant? They was the same size or SMALLER. so whats they EXCUSE?

[@bsoprano2123]

His game is nice a s hell to be so young! but i think the best quality to his game that u cant teach is his confidence. His is thru the roof! cant wait to see where he goes to college at!

[@blacklite911]

sure size doesn't matter in HS but sure enough he's gonna have problems in college where they can actually play team defense. Good luck on the street ball career though.

[@RainMaker2kG]

Age doesnt matter, he will grow a bit more in his late teens, Could be like JJ Barea type of style in the NBA.

[@MadeInTheStruggleProgram]

Yo Gotti -- Shit he knw wat it due! kid got handles. Im rooting for him, im 5'6 as well. Smaller players got big hears too! Shit ima keep working hard for mines.

[@MRBBALLMAN10]

@whiteflash1323 nah he 17 now in 10th grade...and i know about lenny im from NY..he have a late bday..if lenny had a late bday he would of been able to stay

[@averydagirl]

hes 5'6 becuz hes in the gym to much .. that isnt gud for ur height.. Aquille if u wanna get taller stay out of the gym and start stretching =P

[@TheViviid]

My point is he still dropped 39 & 15 on someone in the league, regardless if he gets bump or not. He was still a freshman at that

[@dhughzy]

@nateplaya88 I was 17 my whole senior year to man but I think the age limit stops at 19 so he probably wouldn't be able to play

[@SAndrade79]

i wanna download this beat, its sooo sick.... wats the name of this beat???? please do tell!!

[@PureJesusFreak116]

we're not talking about recuits but pure talent, he is probably the single most talented highschool player in the country

[@mwilliams3278]

Size is the most important thing for a basketball player. IF u have it good, but if u dont u will most likely be passed up.

[@glinxz]

@dilan4me dude he's like 5'7 and even says he trys to play like mugsey lol..."next chris paul" your on some crazy drugs

[@cumulonimbusclouds5752]

theres no proof of him beating her no wounds no bruise even the girl dont want to go to the hospital to get checked

[@FlashDwade18]

Like he'd give a shit, I don't mind being dumb too if i'd get paid 750,000$ just to play in italy in the 10th grade.

[@HamNewtonMentality]

Haha, he's really funny and knows how to actually be calm and talk, unlike our 2011 number 1 player Michael Gilchrist!

[@dbursehoopdreams]

@hurstUNT IDK he probably wont go to the NBA...but he will go overseas...and he will make A LOT of money...

[@JamesJDMoe]

Kobe's on fire "cuz i be on fire" man this guy is the most cocky good player i have seen in a while.

[@nightlybob]

size kinda matters. Nba is where the best plays and usually teams prefer taller bigger athletic.

[@AznInvazn1TeenTitanz]

@TheUnexpectedDelight now i know why he so fast.... he be runnin like.... "daddy no!" constantly!

[@_WESTSIDE_]

@DukePunk16 do you think he's smaller in height or in weight? honestly he dont even look 140

[@SAEYANGJOHNNY]

Gotta give this player some props. Size never matters, just need heart and passion to play.

[@DaBeSToFIRaWnESS]

@moblackqb31 yea but he was 17 when he was a freshman hahahaha he's dumb but he can ball.

[@JHop873]

@iceill3425 he was a good cornerback in college too...so he was an all around athlete....

[@dangelo003]

@LMoney11KWill22Vids if you have to ask that question, you already know the answer lolol

[@dmoney4827]

seems lik a cool guy, and is a great player with plenty of confidence!

[@metalmusic50]

All you haters, shut up, height is something that cannot be controlled but skill can

[@jweezy216]

@GreenHornet415 IF!!! thats like if i culd dribble like him id be TOP 10 D1 easily.

[@Lorenshyne]

Which class is he, 2013 or 12? He has dope handles, athletic, quick, fan favourite.

[@JHop873]

@iceill3425 so how are you a bum if you are "athletic enough" to make the team?

[@MikeFromKentucky]

Guy doing the interview sounds just like ( mike epps ) / day day

[@30293952]
