[@cryptic6917]

bro was the shaq of high school

[@aaronm.c.williford7865]

It’s crazy because Smith suspended Kofi because Kofi went to him and said that he needed more touches. That’s why they lost to Imhotep at the City of Palms.

[@goapkodi1586]

Aaron M.C. Williford lol never knew that

[@justinahamefule1886]

You realize he’s a four star recruit right dumbass

[@nope6770]

Big Ten Freshman of the year. Your talent evaluation sucks.

[@WellsPower]

Your telling me you saw a dude who dunked on trace Jackson Davis and other people and your not impressed I mean yeah he needs to develop a jump shot and free throws he needs to make them more but him dunking on people that’s impressive

[@alexchilders6065]

I understand he reclassified and should be a senior but this mans is deadass older than Rj Barrett and is still in Highschool

[@GloFlare]

why does it matter? dude knew he could play basketball and wanted that high school experience.

[@victornjoroge389]

Best center besides James wiseman

[@T13344]

Hello, I was wondering if you could please take down the part of your bio on the slam, slam kicks page, and KZbin channels where it says basketball Bible because it’s low key offensive? I would really appreciate it.

[@ton1760]

His last name is hella sus

[@dan8085]

Cockburn is pronounced K'Oh-burn.

[@imjustwatching679]

young joel embid

[@untameablelion_2449]

Cole look weird without facial hair🤣

[@caponsacchi9979]

Kofi led Illini to 1st place in conference and then a Big 10 Championship. He scored well in NCAA tournament but was not coached on defending Loyola's mobile center. Without that fluke, Illinois could have been national champions. I'd rather see him leading Illinois in NCAA than fighting for time on a mediocre pro team.

[@brokerichgod6901]

How is that a national hs team they don’t even have the latest amenities

[@bradygerig6280]

I feel like players that get mic’d up talk a lot more

[@manuquintero3982]

No cap

[@user-jx2gw4cn2j]

[@DoubleDribble]

@@user-jx2gw4cn2j so he's playing his entire senior year at 19. should be a freshman in college
