Who should we bring back from this series? They may even run with the ECS in the near future! PS: We will be doing Search For a Star Season 2 in Alabama... The level of talent waiting to be discovered there is UNREAL

[@issadom5349]

I think Milly's gotta bring back Matt for redemption, I could tell his bag was deep he just didn't get a chance to show it.

[@suckaafree.592]

Nah We Know Why Yall Really Wanna Go Gang 😂😂

[@LilGlock55]

Come To Calhoun City Mississippi

[@TheConstitutionState]

How is this even a ? Stop playing and put niven on the squad

[@_nuthegreat_]

Bring back Matt and Niven

[@lasallereactions1360]

Nevins trainer is a literal gift from god. That man went from being an aggressive lob threat to a lethal shooter. His work ethic is insane to have that much of a change in his game, cant wait to see more of him

[@jamarcusjones3115]

He could always shoot he just never did

[@simplelifeofjosh883]

this is one of the best, cleanest, skillful, and fun to watch 1v1’s on youtube for sure.

[@BallislifeECS]

Most definitely!

[@ryandowtin3504]

No cap

[@_nuthegreat_]

That was a great matchup, they both made tough shots and they both can jump out the gym. Niven is definitely final boss worthy and ready for pro ball. They also played great defense. BIL put this man in a park takeover as soon as his schedule is free!!

[@LeBron_tha_GOAT]

Niven did a park run w/ the ECS about 2 years ago. He was the most dominant player on the court that day by far. But ur right he fine tuned his shooting & recovery D and dominated these 1's.

[@_nuthegreat_]

@@LeBron_tha_GOAT absolutely bro is nba ready but I think it would be refreshing to see him in another park run

[@commentauthority1080]

Why would he risk getting injured now when he is on the cusp of success?

[@_nuthegreat_]

@@commentauthority1080 never said he had to go all out or 100% but I do want to see him in a future takeover if possible

[@Manewutdahell]

The most skilled 1v1 I’ve seen in a LOOOOONG time. Probably since I’ve started watching KZbin basketball

[@BallislifeECS]

FACTS

[@mikethomas5331]

What a perfect final matchup. You could tell that if these guys played 10 games , they might split them. Malc is so skilled and Niven is obviously right there with him

[@Yasuke_R32_GT-R]

That court must be mint, not a spec of dust and a fresh wax because them shoes loud as hell 😆

[@jomoooo]

nah wrd you can hear each and every individual footstep onnat mf😭

[@LeBron_tha_GOAT]

That game was fair AF!!! Malcolm's D was not crazy physical. He even gave Niven several calls! Niven's a beast but he got beat by $-Malc 🤷🏽

[@zbo_]

Preach

[@jimmyj4974]

See Malcolm changin up at the end of game an winnin from ballin not dyin by tha 3 🤘🏽

[@zbo_]

Great defense from Malc, other dude tried to call a push off on one play and malcs arms were straight up 😂😂

[@enriquemeza484]

To everyone that said Malcolm was going to lose he proved the wrong. Let’s go, Malcolm I knew Malcolm was gonna win.

[@bleek6521]

He shut me up I was sayn he was goin to lose by 4

[@1xmar935]

game could of went either way fr

[@dannydaphantom2362]

Honestly Niven missed a lot of open looks

[@andrethompson1701]

thanks for the damn spoiler buddy

[@Sylique]

@@andrethompson1701Ong I learned my lesson reading the comments while watching

[@jessematthie3646]

If niven keep shooting like that, he definitely can be in the nba

[@oskarnouriani6812]

malc defense looked clean to me

[@enriquemeza484]

Yes, I agree I think Niven Wasn’t getting a lot of pressure when he played other players, but Malcolm stepped up and his defense look pretty clean to me as well

[@seanyzay]

It's two dif worlds ya know. Mac defense is clean for the ball he plays (park runs and their runs) but for real officiated basketball the 2 hands will get called majority of the time

[@yungtt1326]

@@seanyzaystop glazing he locked bro up fair and square ain’t nobody hearing dat

[@seanyzay]

@@yungtt1326 i ain't arguing it I was just explaining both they perspectives bro lmao

[@rickgarza45]

Same defense on any of yall you locked up to he even said he was fouling him yall dont hoop foreal 😂

[@850Elli]

Final Boss match should’ve been best 2 of 3. I’m kinda mad nobody was listening to Niven point. Malcolm might as well been checking Niven blood pressure how he was grabbing below Niven shoulder. He still made shots while getting his shooting arm grabbed. Much respect to both of them though and good win Malcom.

[@Goodguy910]

Malcolm was playing defense like the old heads used to in 2010. Hand checking the whole time lol

[@Zone-mc2tp]

Malcolm defense was clean! Both dudes tuff as hell tho! Need to see more of Malcolm 1v1s

[@Nolandiscool]

Nah in 1s, we not calling all those pitty pat "his hand touched me" fouls. You gotta get a bucket.

[@arthurcheater3359]

it drastically affected the play though. someone who is trying to drive, with limited dribbles (shot clock) , can't really handle being pushed by the defender with both hands. the "weight room" comments are idiotic. Play D without fouling.

[@martinezhughes4077]

Unlimited dribbles just shot clock. Niven tuff but he baby mentally. Gotta eat slight contact like that

[@TheBNCyo]

It's literally impossible to get past someone that is using hands to guard, the guy is right, the game turned into a shot making competition without driving or any chance for a post move

[@arthurcheater3359]

@@martinezhughes4077 wasn't slight though. Malcolm playing D like an O-lineman, using two hands.

[@thelastsith2706]

This dude😂

[@doyinsage]

These are two shot makers right here! too smooth on the elevation.

[@VultGrizzley]

couldn't wait for this vid to drop. So sick! Watched Noble's one like 10 times, this probably more

[@MoeToOFFeR]

Malcolm at his best is when hes down on the scoreboard

[@User-bf7iy]

Been lovin the content Keep it up BALL REALLY IS LIFE WIT DIS CHANNEL!!!!

[@sandileshongwe4764]

Great game, Niven got all his points from 3 🔥. This was one of the best ones on KZbin in a while

[@kennyEllis0622]

5:20 best defense I’ve ever seen on YT

[@AM-PMFAM]

Great content i tuned in every episode

[@billionairemafia91]

Good performance by two great athletes. These videos inspire me to work out

[@iamzay21]

5:57 😤🔥

[@rufuswill922]

Buddy had to play like 3 games Malcom was rested

[@thethirdamos]

That was a good game, but Malcolm was definitely handsy & acting like he wasn't 😂

[@user-jx2gw4cn2j]

Clean defense niven just looking for a way out.

[@crazyclipss9]

nah Mac was hacking on them drives

[@marcustaylor2450]

He definitely need to be part of the team cause he’s definitely a bucket

[@Mosthated.Menace]

I respect his head fakes on elite level

both nice move, good hustle. more series!!

[@tazz4life118]

good game. cant wait to see who the guys bring out next.

[@koyamarky7663]

niven was already tired at that moment and malc has fresh legs, i guess that would different story if they both play with fresh legs :D

[@kungfukenny7496]

This man Malcolm playing like IT, carrying the ball to get space then dribble at 6:40

Malcolm killed Niven with his drives on his right hand which was to Niven's left hand...And Malcolm's jumpers on his right was unguardable.

[@montlee1990]

Good clean basketball from both players

[@ajreal8120]

Once Malc got Niven jumping off the fakes eye knew it was over

[@young_stabwound]

Slight hand checking both ways tbh (I'd be inclined to say that Niven did it more) but Malcolm played through the contact every drive. This is easily the best 1's game I've seen on this channel

[@jonnyray7388]

When everyone thinks you gonna win then you loose😂😂😂

[@br4nd0nx_x]

Malc hit dude with the same move about 5 times😂😂😂. Bro didn't force Malc left at all.

[@Nobody55564]

Because he’s left handed

[@justinbrown908]

Why would he force him left? You not paying attention. Thats his strong hand.

[@gabe4433]

@@justinbrown908I would argue forcing malc left would work better. He honestly slashes and shoots better going right.

[@justinbrown908]

@@Nobody55564 that may very well be true I haven't seen alot of vid on him just basing what I said off of my experience hoopin I'd defend him like Niv did. He does have a good stop n pop going right but to me that should make it all the more easier contesting the shot with him being a southpaw.

[@br4nd0nx_x]

​@@justinbrown908if you watch the video malcolm always drives right.

Best defense I seen Malc play

[@viewsnumeral4666]

Malcolm tuff

[@frankie.b.s9133]

Nevin didn't have to justify the Lost, Malcolm is NBA caliber baller. It's a privilege to lose by two points because Malcolm normally skunks his opponents

[@icydom_]

Niven is right...Mal was too slow to guard them drives so he used his hands to kinda get back in front of Niven...It was a good game tho, but its really hard to play against that, you are forced to play on 3pt line because the drives that you would usualy score are being hacked like this with no call

[@martymardb7878]

Niven is good , I like him

[@chyranperkins9523]

I’m almost positive Bevin played for the East before
