Ah, yes... I've heard about this (mostly on another forum that I frequent). The main question is: Can he shoot like that good when he get taller (no one takes that kind of shot when you are 6 foot or above).

It's nothing that special actually. His family doesn't have much money though, so you can't really say it's exploitation.

Seeing that three year old say "I am Reebok" is one of the creepier thigns I've ever seen.

So when does he sign his NBA contract? When does he have his first kid?

There are always kids with incredible talents, and rarely do they last.

heretic? last time i checked, the church ddin't look to kindly on your lifestyle.

but, in time, the religion will accept you. religions are notorious for being ignorant and slow to accept things.

and this kid is pretty awesome. though you have to note these shots are with no d at all.

we need another 3 year old guarding him. he could slap that ball out of his hands whenever he went up for a shot.

I totally agree. It's very sinister.

He's still a very cute and very talented kid, though/

What the betting that he stops growing before he reaches 6 feet tall?
