Their almost identical haircuts could be cultural, or it could me more evidence that there's some vicarious living going on here. I mean its great that the kid is pushing himself to his utmost potential, but to this extreme degree? That seems more rare than his abnormal O2 levels.

Yeah, right. I'd block the shit outta that kid. When I saw that lil' kid, I just thought: (Mute the video if you don't wanna listen to shitty music) <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/POjsl2Fw1B0&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/POjsl2Fw1B0&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

Haha I would have included it in my original post but I was worried the specific reference would be too obscure; awesome!
I could embarrass the kid in a team game. Just need someone to rush down court to stop him, and once we have him in the half court game, we block him, because we're full sized, unlike sixth graders. Then on offense, I'll just post him up.
I don't know what kind of B-Ball IQ he has, he could be another Allen Iverson type of player that just falls in love with his shot even though he shouldn't. All I know is that he can be an elite runner because of his Lungs, but playing in the NBA is either about intelligence and beating NBA defenders if one is undersized, or Height. No one knows if he will have either quality. Ben Wallace used to be a scorer when he was growing up, so that's just some perspective.

I know that wasn't all Ben's fault, although it was an interesting story.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Black Mamba @ Feb 9 2008, 01:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I can't believe how critical you guys are being of his game....</div> I'm not critical, I'm just not impressed (except for the running part of the video). I've seen little kids like this ball on streetball courts before and they didn't amount to anything. He's also not 7 years old. He's 10-11 for the record.
