No not social media. The parents are responsible for modeling behavior of their children and punishing them for not listening to the rules they set. Lazy parents are 💯 to blame, not social media, not music with nasty lyrics, not TV and not their friends. Blaming your kid being a little ahole on social media is a way for a parent to avoid blame for being lazy and incompetent.
This is what young boys learn from watching grown ass dudes from the NBA. NBA players are not good examples for our youth. At this age they should be learning the game and how to be competitive, not running their mouths. This is just a game lads
In the NBA trash talking is an accepted part of the game. The psychological aspect of play can affect the game. Those guys are the best in their sport and are being paid to play. A 5th grader who most likely won't even play at the high school varsity level doesn't have that level of skill and is 99% unlikely to ever achieve that level of skill. They need to stfu and learn their sport and coaches need to enforce that. If they can't then despite possibly having coaching skill, they are a bad coach. At that level it's about maintaining discipline and teaching the game, not talking smack when you score.
@@philosoraptor2285 I agree with NBA trash talking being a necessary evil. Kids need to learn the game, be dissaplined, learn respect and teamwork while loving the game.
Are you talking about the fat kid? I hope he also plays football. That might be the right sport for him. I can't imagine that kid being good enough to play at the high school varsity level. Right now he doesn't have to develop his game because he towers over the kids his own age. The older he gets, the more the competition catches up. Then it becomes a fat 6'5" kid with mediocre skills vs a bunch of tall athletic kids around the same height who will make that fat kid look like a joke at the next level. No more trash talk then for that kid.
I guess palming the ball, carrying the ball, pushing off, traveling, is not a thing to be call anymore. Looks like 1 on 1 with 10 of 'em out there at a time..
Back when I was coaching anytime one of my players started acting like this they got to sit next to me on the bench. When their parents would get mad with me about it I would simply ask them if they would like to take over coaching the team. That usually fixed the problem.
Yep I played in the 80's Jr High- High School Varsity. Those celebrating kids would have gotten hacked on the very next set of plays and got a tech from the ref.
Does anyone teach good sportsmanship or humility anymore!!! All the kids y’all are highlighting are great players but I’m still looking for a player with some humility!!!! Sadly nobody recognizes that their talent is literally a gift from God and it can disappear in a moments time with just one bad accident!!!
My son is in 8th grade, always loved basketball. Wants to play year round. I’ve noticed something the last couple of years. The handpicked local teams who are really good talk junk all game, no sportsmanship at all. But then there’s the teams who are above that, nationally ranked, kids obviously going to play in the nba one day. And those teams don’t talk at all (even when they’re running us out of the gym), they realize this is a business for them and their goal is not to dominate central Texas 8th/9th grade tourneys, but to make it to the pros. It’s all coaching, teaching them what’s important.
@@woodson21 You clueless fanboy hype types just don't get it. Almost nobody is "obviously playing in the NBA" that you observe playing at the high school level or below. Lebron and Kobe were both notable exceptions but they are arguably two of the top 5 players of all time. Get this statistic through you tiny pea brain. 10% of Jr High players play at the high school varsity level. 1% of high school players play college division 1. 1% of college players play at the NBA level. That means it is statistically highly unlikely any of these kids play in the NBA and maybe 1 of them plays div 1. You've demonstrated are not knowledgable about what it takes to get to literally any level of basketball let alone the NBA.
@@georockmann7113 because they’re like 10 years old. What’s the point? Rewatch and remember the times when your kid couldn’t dribble? Or send it to universities to get your kid noticed like frigid stage mothers with daughters on the groomer beauty pageant scene?
@Zack Regan Yes the point is to rewatch it later in life and remeber those times. Which is literally the entire point of a video. Why else do you think people take videos of their babies and stuff?
That one girl that pushed the other girl shooter going to basket into the wall, should of been taken out of the game immediately. Talking is one thing, but purposely pushing and maybe injuring any player is another. That Referee should of immediately put a stop to that kind of violence on the Basketball court.
i think i have good sportsman ship, i say "good shot" when the opponents shoot, i help them up if they fall, but this is bad. no need to taunt or try to start fights for no reason
Easy fix ...give these kids one warning.. stop the yapping or your gona get T'd up ...2 T's they get thrown out of game ...The refs have total control over this garbage...
I played most sports. Sports were Nothing like this. We were intense but when we knocked someone down, most of us helped the opponent up. We never stood over them, got in their face, or did a stupid dance. Especially in elementary school. Like I said, they have changed sports! You might not be old enough to know.
90% of these kids will never play at the next level. No discipline to do so. Maybe a D3 school where the crazies run the programs. When one is so emotionally insecure, he craves attention and praise when doing something he's supposed to do, imagine the disappointment at the point where he realizes everybody on the floor is as talented as him.
Agreed I keep telling these folks that most of these kids shoot two handed from the chest and will have to relearn how to shoot to even make most good Jr High School teams. Their coaches aren't doing their job and teaching them. They just want the win at the expense of teaching them properly. I would rather see a kid that age shooting a 10 ft jump shot with correct shot mechanics, than that same kid shooting 3's from the chest. When they go up a level the defensive play improves drastically and a midget playing good D can block a chest shot. My Jr High School coach on my 8th grade team cut otherwise good players in tryouts, who still shot like that because he knew that.
When your an athlete u need skill but another thing you need is mentality and character. And I think trash talk isn’t something that will get u far so there’s no point in doing it unless u try to get us someone’s head but it doesn’t always work. Bc of trash talk it’s gotten in kids heads to do it and there is no sportsmanship whatsoever. But another thing that’s sad is that some parents do it in games too like let the kid play or else the kid is gonna start doing it.
That kid at the very last clip would've been off the team and their parents would've just been mad. The one dancing while shooting free throws would've been benched the rest of the game. These coaches today ain't got no damn discipline when it comes to these kids.
No wonder the youth have no respect for their elders, or authority figures, teachers, police, and their own parents. It use to be about sportsmanship and being able to deal with winning or losing. This type of stuff is why these youngsters can't control their anger, or ability to handle losing.
Everyone in the comments is blaming someone else when the reason kids act like this is because you fucking watched a video glamorizing it in the first place! Hell if they had fought it would have even more views and likes but keep telling yourself it's the coach who sees them for like an hour a week that is the problem
A coach has the option not to play a kid that acts like that. He can bench them. A bad coach let's that continue at that level of play. So yes the coach has a responsibility to stop that when it happens on the court, just like a teacher has a responsibility to maintain order in their class.
Wow. This generation has no concept of respect or sportsmanship. And their parents are to blame by encouraging this behavior in freaking youth basketball. Its not funny or entertaining its just sad really. When 95% of these kids don't even make it to college basketball this attitude will be what they bring into the real world and its not doing them any favors in life. Coaches and parents teach your kids to be humble. Geez man.
That's the mentality that slowly brews into NBA brawls and melee's , at fans expense those young men are unsportsman like now and in the future they will be unprofessional much like the NBA in their fight games
