What Happened To These Viral Basketball Players?

[@Icriticrandomthings]

Let's be real here, if LiAngelo's dumbass never stole those glasses, he would've been in UCLA and they would've helped him improve on things he lacked while playing on the same level field as him. His recognition playing in the UCLA, even in a one-and-done scenario would've helped his chances on getting in the NBA, most likely on the late first round or early 2nd round. G-League didn't help him either as everyone's trying to fight for minutes and recognition, all those hungry players playing out of their minds just to get that NBA contract while LiAngelo's bricking threes and missing wide open shots on the few minutes he's been given in the G-League. That is why it was to no one's surprise his career never pan out well.

[@dondahighhh12]

idk about that. Gelo was never a NBA prospect. he was one of the leading scores in the state of California but was a 3 star... he was an 6'5 guard with average to below-average athleticism who's only positive was his shooting, which wasnt really all that great. so a 1 dimensional scorer. he was going to learn how to play defense and be a role player to get to the nba, those guys spend 3-4 years in college tho

[@waynelee8327]

He is unathletic, weak, very slow-physically, intellectually, and mentally; he would NOT have been a good NCAA player, and not likely to be drafted, at all.

[@Charvez]

All this shit y'all saying about Gelo is so much cap frfr.... nothing but hating ass niggas...Gelo has an above average jumper, was knocking down shots in the g league, average athleticism a capable defender who hustles, works hard and uses his body to crash the boards as a guard.. y'all niggas obviously haven't watched any of Gelo's games to really critique him smfh just on here being hating ass capping niggas smfh

@@LockdownK in germany you don’t really play sports in school we have separate clubs, and you have practice in the evening where you can join throughout tryouts. played for the team from my hometown semi pro as a teenager won the south-west German championship once with the under 18 team and the state championship twice with the under 16 and under 18 team. But cracked the cartilage in my left knee when I was 16 so i had no real chance anymore to go pro (probably would not have made it anyways). And I was in the IMG Academy for one month training with their u16 team - our club had an exchange Programm with their School team - that was really cool met Iman shumpert and Amar'e Stoudemire (he was in Rehab coming back from an injury) there.

Imagine a world where the so-called "racist" Donald Trump kept more blk men out of prison (Liangelo Ball being one of the tens of thousands) than Obama, Biden, Clinton, Kamala Harris combined. In fact the crime bill supported by these very politicians locked up literally millions of blk men many on bogus non violent weed charges. On top of that Orange Man signed an executive order to give free access to high performing private schools to poor kids in DC. School choice is something the other politicians and teachers unions (which protect low quality teachers same as police unions protect corrupt cops) are vehemently against, and have a history of voting down as a nationwide measure. Hence the executive order for the D.C. school district only, where the President has executive authority.

They could run camps in the States or overseas, coach overseas... The amount of money the Chinese would pay to have access to a former NBA veteran in a lot of different rules, is insane.
