7’2” Kai Sotto Has Dreams of Becoming the First NBA Player Who Was Born in the Philippines 

fax LMAO

Me and my whole family lmaooo

Kyle Buranday THATS in the Philippines, where the competition isn’t was good.

@@saddonald2795 And he survived. He is the best highschool player in the Philippines.

There are millions of 5'6" players who could've been pros, that's what separate 24hr fitness players from NBA players... HEIGHT

James G dude, as a raptor fan and a filipino, this would be a fan’s dream

Spurs Heat And Warriors would be the best for kai

@@spiralwhirlpool2366 as a raptor fan and a Filipino LOL 😅

Mike West yea, can i help you?

@@spiralwhirlpool2366 🤣😅🤦🏼‍♂️

Well if he got the speed athletesm to fit in the NBA standard it will be for sure

I just know him because Jalen Green posterized him

Very very very rare.

Not much specially in the NBA or Euro league

Yeah, so rare to see in the NBA

yeah those guards are getting bigger and bigger...

From interviews, I believe he really looks up to KP.

Looks more like Pau Gasol. Willing passer, capable handle for a big, and skilled post game. KP is more of a perimeter scorer.

I think way better than KP

@@jctoyscollectibles8646 how? Maybe in the future

@@skateboarddude8260 yup in the near future

I've yet to meet a Phillipino person who will deny the open and vigorous anti-black racism pervasive throughout their culture/country. It's not necessary to love people who hate you. MLK did that and it got us nowhere.

Zach Van Harris JR thank you Sir

@@theprimitivista Wait what?! The heck's wrong with you racist woman?

@That Vegan on Shay Mountain Well ight bruh why you gotta be an asshole. a lot of filipinos really like black people, not all of us racist. im filipino and i got a lot of black friends. i reallly dont know what your point is.

@@theprimitivista literally i've got half polynesian friends and half africans. just because some of them are ignorant doesn't mean all of us are. I didn't grew up in the Philippines. so you probably haven't met someone who has been culturally poisoined

i am also using left hand for writing and right for my shooting

It's fine I guess I use my right hand for writing but everything else I do with my left hand. May dad trained me when I was a kid to not be a lefty, he tried to force me to be right handed I dunno it's something about finding jobs in the future but when my dad died they left me do everything else with my left hand and since then I've grown used to writing with my right hand

same with lebron a lefty who uses his right for shooting

I shoot with my left and right so that I will be harder to defend. Edit: I'm right handed as well.

im left handed but i use right for jerking

And pop

@@karlgeli9285 nah Pop would have retired by the time he's in the league

It would be impossible in SA if he'd be drafted in 2021

@@NoVisionGuy oh he's got a year or so left before he goes into the draft. I'm confused on why though. LA is probably going to go someplace like Golden State. Jakob is inconsistent on offense. The rest of our big men are in the 6ft range. Plus this guy can shoot threes. Imagine the spacing.

@@jeepneygang as of now the official nba 2021 mockdraft sets Kai as #10 pick for the Spurs but maybe that would change later on. As a SA fan myself I hope Kai really gets in the Spurs

Yes I hope future Gilas will have stars like Kai and Jalen Green..

Kai is ready not raw. Maybe he is still thin body. But we know other nba player can be dominate with no full weight like td garnett

Free to dream

France Sasis lol he aint good. He aint a future nba player and he never will br

SOAP aren’t u supposed to be cleaning people’s hands rn during this pandemic?

@@soap4743 Stupid , eat all the virus now your such an idiot racist

*over

@ファイブあかつき There's nothing racist about his rant, he's just a pure hater.

Bol Bol: Am I a joke to you?

@@seanburiel114 he trash

Look at 7'1" wil chamberlin's Game

Try Checkin Chet Holmgren.

@Handle God Sotto is definitely a top 50

Lmao same

Bro! My man is a bot!!!

same!!

Hahahah same bro

i'm still like... not convinced it isn't..?

2:59 travel

I agree. That's what I'm saying dude. This guy is an offensive machine.

pa shout idol😁😁😁

People expecting him to play like Westbrook better be careful coz they might just see Sotto play Westbrook-ish in the future. 😁

Hahahah

If he runs like Westbrook then he does not need another 4 in the court.

7 footer are expected to be slower

Ball handling and playmaking is one of the foundations that filipinos no matter what height always practice on

Kelytto

Gecko Kai and tacko

over 100 million will be watching and funs crazy on it....

@@Junexescenz not only 100M... 1B... all asian country...

you saw him in real life, or in videos? cuz it looks like you're korean, and kai went to Ateneo.....

Poor Pinoy Sneakerhead I went to ADMU

@@poorpinoyvlogs ulol meron din mga korean int students sa Pinas

he's getting there. watch his game. great post moves, good outside shooting and can really pass the ball around the perimeter.

Scoring is not a problem for him. He is decent inside and outside, made 30+ points in a game. What he actually lacks is defense.

He will be an all around player someday. He has a great basketball IQ.

Vanguard Valhala i think hes a good player but nba players are big and if he can stretch the floor combine with post moves it will be better

@@vanguardvalhala3449 He doesn't lack defense. Maybe what you meant is he needs to improve his defense more to be able to guard elite players. He is averaging 4 blocks per game. That is a monster stat for blocks.

@Alexander Liew Hello idol hehe

@Alexander Liew Wow salamat idol solid hehe support din kasi ako kay Kai hehe

Damn. Pangarap nating lahat magka Pinoy sa NBA. Lezzgooo Kai!!!

Go kai! Tuparin mo ang pangarap ng buong sambayanang pilipino na magkaroon ng isang tunay na pinoy sa NBA. At mag dominate pa. Go and make history!

damn.. filipino version of greek freaks!

@@90s_psychedelic we've got the Edu Bros for that. Maybe Filipino version of gasol bros.

Yeah hes parent should make 3 more boys to make a line up.. Damn!! imagine they are all 7 footers.. Phillipines are lucky to have them

@@laxusplays4036 Kai should start reproducing even this early. Lineup all those tall volleyball players in the UAAP. 3 of them a night

@@ramrocker1004 haha wtf yeah he make some hybrid kiddos

omfg stop it😂

Lmao put that nigga in creatine too

Philippines is the only country in SEA that actually produces global talents. You guys need to catch up how come I don't hear anybody coming from SEA besides Philippines. Hahahahahahaha

@@aasss8830 Dude.. A Singaporean once beat Phelps.. And Indonesias are no. 1 I think in badminton and thats also global talent... So pls go do your research and stop bragging.. PS Im Filipino...

M A how bout doing research before spouting your bullshit.

@@kevintroy2540 Badminton? That's the gayest sport ever!!!! And who was that Singaporean how come I never heard of him? Ay dios mio.....

M A i’ll go back in the philippines just to slap you in the face in front of your family.

LeBeautiful the goat lebron parody channel is here🔥

like the hair tho lol

I hope you talk to the Lakers and pick him in the 2021 draft pls :(

Dude is here @LeBeau

LeBeautiful how's it going without NBA?

He's like the former senator larry Craig and takes a wide stance.

HAHAHAHA

Sack too big.

he look like a fuckin spider lmao

And get decent minutes and seasons. Many hyped kids either become a bust or were sent to gleague until they go e to obscurity ina year or two. Wedon't want that, we want a "Manny Pacquiao" of basketball in the country.

@@athenstar10 he is not athletic unlike the other prospects let's be realistic here, I want him to be a star but he is too soft against stronger players, if he becomes a role player why not?

@@jpjovs1786 I'm being realistic here, he has good athleticism for his height. Maybe not extreme athleticism like others, but Yao Ming, Duncan Marjanovic, Jokic and even Doncic don't have mad athleticism but they offer more than that and Kai is tha kind of player. I was actually referring to longevity of his career. Bol Bol checked all the boxes to become a super star , except his weight which might have contributed to his injury that sent him to Gleague, who knows when can he play in the league. Injury is inevitable to uber athletic guys, specially for extremely tall players and we don't that for Kai(not soon). Zion Williamson, is a great player, uber athletic big guy, very aggressive but his weight also worries the experts coz he's also injury prone and if he doesn't lose weight and work in his lower leg, he might be ending his career sooner than he thinks. I'd bet on Shaq more than Zion, if they're the same age. Zou Qi who is more athletic and have longer wingspan than Kai played in the NBA, was sent to Gleague, got injured and sent back home to China.I'd rather have Jokic or Marjanovic than him on the team. There are other players who were hyped during their youth but didn't quite "make it" to the league. Since Kai is, as of now, out only shot at NBA, we might as well hope for the best. We know he needs to improve more but let's dream big for him and for the country.

@@athenstar10 I like that, a fellow Filipino Avid fan you'll know when it's a Filipino you're talking to, when they are this knowledgeable, if it was the old style of play Yao Ming style of play for Kai is best suited, but in terms of fast phased games nowadays with more stretch big being more in demand, then yes, a fine example of Bol Bol which in terms of skills is similar to Kai, but is injury prone and really weak at the 5 , what I want Kai is to be more of Nikola Jokic, he has to gain more weight and be more efficient in his shooting, he has the passing ability but he is a bit slow and tend to be passive in defense, I just dont want to put a high expectations to Kai because for me him being in the NBA is already an achievement, but I understand your enthusiasm..

@@athenstar10 lol，don't compare Yao Ming, Duncan Marjanovic, Jokic and Doncic with a NBA wannabe , please . Kai is not even doing great in NCAA. Duncan Marjanovic, Jokic even Doncic is way stronger and athletic than Kai.and i never see a 7 feet guy with such short arms. is he a fucking Tyrannosaurus ？Jokic or Marjanovic is way better than Zou Qi ,Zou Qi is better than Kai. Jokic is all star, Marjanovic is a strong bench player , zhouqi could be a good role player. kai? not even close to that

mas maraming views/fans kasi pinoy mas malaking revenue hehe pero malaking tulong to sa career ni kai kaya salamat pa rin 🙏🏻

@@joshromjellalora6612 win-win situation lang 😅

im not gordon ramsy Agree! plus imagine the support of Filipino community in Canada 👍🏻👍🏻

I believe that brother cuz you see how Pascal Siakam develop with the raptors

u forget GSW bro

being that tall here is kinda a big deal. I'm only 5'11 but people keep saying i'm tall lol

that's a center for a local league in ph

@@saikikusuo7508 yeah even i play on center pos

Zaphod if he could build muscle he could be a threat

they gotta put him on that giannis diet

Viper 47 He doesn’t have Kristaps freak athleticism, but he has more B-ball IQ than Kristaps.

To be fair, Joel Embiid started out skinny too but look at him now.

Justin Reyes true but I hope Kai won’t be fat, slow, and injury prone like Embiid.

Problem is he's already slow with his current frame

E Jean I’d have to agree w you on that....

@@ejean7522 slow? he is deceptively slow but they can't guard him. He can score at will IMO.

@@jbelooooo he's not slow, i think he just moves based on the pace of the game and in transition. They can't guard him, he can score at will, how's that for being slow?

@@hilarionrevillo9698 Agree

Rannie M Palatino Jr., I noticed that too its trippy to look at

@@drew6108 maybe it's because of the angle and his sweat😂

@@drew6108 and his movements looked like an animation

Even this 1:28

Looks like an nba2k 😂😂😂

He already looks like he has the coordination, agility and conditioning. Now he will need to get some NBA level strength without sacrificing those three things. His skill level for that height and age is incredible though. Very excited for this kid

Uh he really isn’t that skinny compared to others

he mom looks like a chinese

@@Poohbear55 yup hes kinda have descent weight for his size, he can be bulky at short time, he eats a lot, when he gone to us hes skinny and just few months later hes looking bulky already.. He can be around 250 or 240lbs at least when he enter the draft

Irene Pabualan nah man, the basketball system in Korea is trash. In terms of international marketing, for example they don’t have Instagram accounts for their teams. Or try to reach out to platforms like ESPN, BR, RU-vid, etc.

Ive seen many korean players who have good skills but the problem is they dont dream to play NBA

Master Generalph they scared of black people
