CJ’s McCollum’s Inspirational Reaction To The Viral Photo Him At 5’2” His Freshman Year | JJ Redick 

same dude lmao

Lol so you were one of those kids who grew early? I was jealous of kids like you but then I passed them in height in my junior and senior year 😭

Me too.

What’s crazy is that 6’2” still has him that short in the nba world

@@231doughboy lol i remember passing them ppl who hit 6ft at 7th grade in 11th grade at 6'2.5"

In 99% of all of the high schools in America it doesn't matter if you're 5'2 if you can handle the ball you're going to make the team

He was averaging 20 ppg in 3 quarters. Put some respek on his name

@@brandonhinrichs4393 not true at all some guys make high school teams just because they are tall or athletic

@@RedCGaming12 yeah and? They also make the team because they're short and can actually handle the ball. Which is much more important and useable than a kid who can jump high. %90 of high school teams dont have a single player over 6'6 6'7. What were you even saying? I said if he's five too and can handle the ball he pretty much every kid is going to make the team at 99% of schools and you're response was not true kids make the team because they're tall and athletic? Yeah duh they make the team with the 5'2 guy lol

@@brandonhinrichs4393 I can’t even count the amount of players who were ballers but never made it to the next level because of height or size.. it’s easier to get away with shortness in football

Lol damn, funny thing is 5’6 is about average height for a freshman

I'm 5'9 and in 8th

I was 6'1 as a sophomore. I never grew after that

Same

@@corruptedvibes199 so was I bro, now I'm senior and I'm still 5'9 😐

Bench press king too

Fr self motivation is hard

@I Am Zay I agree but at that position in life they have discipline

REAL TALK!! The common non-willing people just can't understand

Well said!

you can do it too Alp!!

I am 6”1

All you need is parents

Gotta not completely blunder a double overtime game in the playoffs if you want respect.

@@blackichan3866 u actin like He’s the first player to do sum like that every player has its bad moments but we can’t forget what he did in the 2019 playoffs

@@blackichan3866 “Completely blunder”. He made one mistake.

@@Watermelon_Man how many points did he have in that double overtime game? Why does his point totals drop in playoff games? Dame needs a star next to him. Cj nothing but a role player when it actually counts, weve seen it ever single year.

I compare it to kris Middleton with giannis

Tbh I grew about the same in my own high school years but I unfortunately stopped growing after 11th grade at 5'10.

Freshman year I was 5’2 sophomore I was 6’1”

@@michaelrogers9720 8th grade 5'8?, 10th grade ~6'5. Also 10th grade, 145lbs lol

@@matthewh1802 skinny people are easier to kidnap

@anthony Romero did you date him after the growth spurt?

What are u working for, like your goal? U want make college team?

Witness of just his improvement in the NBA. That dude always worked incredibly hard.

You think differently? Stop trashing people you don’t know based of off sports fandom you dummy.

😒😒

I was 5’7 in high school. Years later, I still am 5’7 😭

ahahh That's the unfortunate reality for 99.999% of people that play basketball or sports in general

That’s what I thought too… im still 5’6 lol

I went from 5’5 to 6’3 within that frame

I’m 5’0 entering freshman next week, My dad is 5’9 and my mom was 5’5 but I have 3 uncles over 6 and grandpa over 6 feet. I’m praying I get those genes 🙏

Good luck👍

Good luck

@@GabrielleTheGreat0718 woah forgot this comment, I’m now 6’1 nearly 6’2

@@kybridth2646 lol nice

It’s a lot of people who work but don’t have that belief. Saying positive things to yourself is the best thing you can do, especially since people are very negative

Working out doesn’t make you taller

@@goat9295 stretching does

@@goat9295 working legs make you taller since I worked legs I have grew 2 inches I was 5’8 now I’m 5’10

Sad 😢

Anthony Davis too

That's insane, ive always thought of growth stories like that as the thing of legends because i only gained maybe around two inches throughout all of higschool and i believe ive capped now, a college student, at 5'10

@@jacobtaylor5879 nah that sound about right I never a no spurts.. especially in hs I stayed the same height maybe 1 inch different.. finally went from 5’7 to 5’8 & I think after hs I’m now 5’8-5’9.. but I never feel short.. maybe small but not that short. I think certain things come into play.. like o never wanted to be a basketball player & never got good at it so I think that’s the biggest factor in focusing on height even after 14-15-16 years old… I think 2nd place is for the ladies.. but I feel like if you have good looks or good personality or good sex then you not really worried about the height. 3rd is combat.. && if you a good fighter or never alone or keep a weapon or something or even if you just stay in your hood & avoid opp blocks & hoods you should be good 💯 but I’m 5’9 I feel like that passes for 5’10 at least😭 so I figure I’m in the same class as 5’11 easily

@@ciofloyd886 🤣 i feel u, being 5'10 i would sometimes give myself an inch and say im 5'11 and sometimes when u tell people your 5'11 they know your like basically right to 6'0, and theyll go "you can just give your self the inch and say your 6 foot your basically right there 😉" not knowing i already gave myself 1 jnch lmao . But yea also like you said ive never thought of myself as short eather the average tall person u meet is at most a round, 6'2, so someone between 6'0 and 6'2 is what ull tend to meet and if ur around 5'10 and 2 to 3 inch heigh gap isint insane ur probably freinds with a lot of people with about that range of height difference.

@@jacobtaylor5879 how old are you my guy? Even in person I’ve never heard no one share the same experience this exactly ya know😂 && You 5’10, it just sound like the perfect height 😭 something tells me if we stand right next to each other we gonna be like the exact same height but you gonna edge it lol ngl 5’10 kinda lit & the way you put it I’m actually thinking you taller which is still litty cuz like we said we put eachother in the same category😭
