What Happened To "Mr Ballislife" Trae Jefferson? Stunted Growth (FEG BANDMAN)

[@stuntedgrowth]

Really liked Trae's game. Think of all the small prodigies, he was the best and had the best opportunity after his sophomore year in college. Wish I could've seen his junior year.Good luck on the music though.

[@psvlfeny]

Can you do video on Vernon Carey jr

I’m from Milwaukee bro I got the pleasure of watching him devin Harris, Looney, Poole,sprewell. And many more lil dog was a fkn beast no one in Milwaukee could fkn stop him bro he went to the bucket and could jump and score

[@FlackeauxFiasceaux]

Another small guard you could do is Tyler Ulis. LOVED his game at Kentucky and felt like he had the potential to be something much bigger than where he is now

[@demarcusdaddyd]

He was on the Warriors the year Quinn cook got major minutes. My theory is he lost that last guard spot to Quinn. He hurt his hip that training camp, he was working his way back. He got into a car accident recently, he’s been coaching ever since.

I've had the mispleasure of guarding this dude at a few AAU tournaments and yeah, no fun trying to stay in front of him lol. Didn't know he was hooping like that at TSU though.

[@DiorInEveryStore]

Even Devinthelab said he was one of the best if not the best kid he ever seen in person. He didn’t care about about what scout was watching the game, he always gonna showboat, wild out, and not get back on defense all while droppin 50😂. That and off the court shit is why he didn’t go high major. He was fasho high major top 100 talent

Saw his whole journey at TSU when I worked there; I’m a grad as well. He is a legend but his name fizzled out because of his behavior.

[@bryceisnice6]

Actually wasn’t expecting this video. I love college hoops and actually went to see Trae multiple times when he played @TXSO against TCU(back when they had Desmond Bane) and man… Trae would give TCU hell. Now granted TCU did win both times but my oh my Trae was a walking bucket 4 sure. Thanks for the video bro

[@fxckyousmithy7143]

@Daloy sucks seeing someone from the same city as me go out like he did. I remember being a kid watching him on Ball is Life or Midwest Ballers in school during class. He was a big thing in the city when he was in HS. Just as big as Tyler Herro was for Milwaukee when Tyler played at Whitnall.

[@newmj32]

Trae’s mixtape is Top 10 of all time, the NBA was a long shot for him but he would’ve been a long time Pro forsure.

[@lastsinnersa8002]

Really like the angle you did with this one. Sometimes your attitude can cost you your opportunity. Lesson I learnt in my 20s. In my 30s I learned to reel it in and just get the work done without drama. It isn't easy or glamorous but it gets the job done. Balancing drive and attitude is not something most have at that age. And as you said, some others were given way more opportunities that they deserved.

I’m from Milwaukee I went to school with bro (Hamilton) he was a D E M O N !!!!!!! He jus as hood as he is talented we got plenty of hoopers in the city I pray he get a shot I’m telling y’all he LIKE THAT

[@aantoine5819]

Let’s be honest, height was a major killer since so many guys get 2nd 3rd 4th chances when they’re >6’8”

[@jonathanthomas9485]

Attitude is an absolute killer these days. Coaches have had too many examples of what happens with hotheaded players on & off the court. When things at Texas didn’t work out you can bet all of the other coaches that passed on him knew they decided right in doing so. Not 1 of them looked & thought here’s our 2nd chance to get this guy (unfortunately). I still don’t see it as a reason to quit unless you are the type of person that believes for a fact your bad attitude or short temper just won’t change then it is what it is. He has already chosen his fate if that’s the case. Nobody in the world has the power to choose it for him.

[@ParanoiaKeepsMeWake]

​@jonathanthomas9485 nah. It was his height. You got NBA players that have assaulted their wives and slept with minors still hooping. But being a midget *and* having attitude issues? Yeah I would tell you to brush up on your Chinese but even they wouldn't want you.

Yes but guards at that height their range must be consistent at a high level. Yes absolutely speed and quickness is required for small guards but you must have one of the following: range, strong facilitor, get to the basket at ease with least amount of dribbles(Trae young). Or effectively can shoot off the dribble and solid range, get to basket at ease with a good amount of dribble moves, and be a good passer(Isaiah Thomas). If I’m lying I’m flying let me know?
