Lol. If he even played major college ball he'd be defying all kinds of odds.

A career like Fisher would be amazing.

I coach AAU basketball here in SoCal for 13U. You'd be amazed at what these kids are doing nowadays. Some of these kids I've coached since they were 7. by 10 they were launching and making half of their 3 pointers and have amazing handles.

Year around teams with this advanced training these kids are exposed to makes me a little jealous I didn't get the same tools at my disposal.

I am not preparing my son to be an NBA player...but I am taking him to camp every Sunday morning. Right now we're doing a dribbling and ball skills camp run by a coach at a local Catholic school.

He's slowly coming around. I took a video of him last week doing a figure 8 drill. I was so proud!

Kudos to you guys insofar as encouraging your children to obtain special skills that others don't and to have them tied to the amount of work they put into it. It'll do wonders for them as they navigate life.

That's why I do it. NBA, hell even college ball, is a long shot. But the transferable skills is why I keep encouraging him.

Success is anything is determined by the work put in.

I was a star YMCA player in 8th grade (though I was like 5'6.5" which made me a beast at that age).

I didn't do anything with my skillz (the high school coaches at my school were dicks) but I can still beat most people one on one, which makes it all worth it XD

LOL. My son would kill right now to be 5'6 (13 in 8th grade). He's only 4'11".

But I was a late bloomer and am now 6'1". My wife is only 5'2". So its wait and see.

Nice court vision, passing and composure, an under-rated quality that is an absolute necessity in a PG. I hope everything works out well for your son, 2Cleva.

If he can even make it to 5'8-5'9 (which seems pretty possible considering you and your wife's height) he'll be a stud in high school. He's got some real talent!

Good highlight reel. But how's his intangibles?
Is he a good locker room guy?
Does he stay out late drinking and gambling the night before road games?
Will he stand up for a teammate after a hard foul?

Word on the street is that he buys packs of Pokemon cards to all those who score off his dimes. He's a giver.

Late blooming man, it sucks. I can still pass for 17 despite being much much older .

I did a height study of sorts once. I say he ends up 5'9"ish, strangely enough guys take after their mom's height the majority of the time.

Great team guy.
Nah I make that butt go to bed.
Will stand up and has a Napolean complex so he'll be an enforcer too.
Not in this lifetime!

Just updated for 8th grade season. He didn't play much PG - coach wanted his son to play the 1. Still did well.

Story of my life. Fathers coaching their son's team is a nightmare. I'm 100% against it. So many kids go undeveloped all while the coach is worried about getting his son to the next level. It's a disservice to all of the other kids. Night and day difference for my son. He plays on a few different teams, and it's very easy to read which coach has ulterior motives.

100% the truth.

The times I did coach - no one knew who my son was. My assistant coaches had to force him into the starting lineup - everyone knew he had to earn any PT he got.

But yeah - some horrible coaches out there and daddy ball is the worse. This past season, the coach's son probably shot as much as the rest of the team combined. Easy had 20+ attempts a game. I know he averaged 13 3 PTA/game.
