How BAD Is Julian Newman Actually? 

High School situation and hype aside, his dad didn't teach him fundamentals or the right skills. He taught him to be a dribble merchant

He lacked size and athleticism. Beingin a true pg was next to impossible bc he's too small to get the ball around bigger defenders.

Thank you and also he plays no AAU basketball or no eybl too be seen plus he never had a true coach

@@BennyTherat I've seen just about every Julian Newman lowlights video ever made on RU-vid, every time he had a lowlight he could beat majority of defenders off the dribble but would choose to try to finish in the paint 1 on 3 or take a stutpid contested shot from deep, almost every lowlight play could've been a highlight play if he chose to pass the ball to a wide-open teammate since he always drew so much attention attacking. Julian had the speed to overcome the lack of size, but his fixation on scoring over playmaking for others is what turned all those potential highlights into lowlights. Also, he had the speed to blow past most defenders but had a fixation on chasing highlights and too much fancy dribbling. THAT is a product of coaching, or lack there of. A good coach would've hammered the mentality to take what the defense gives, make more plays for others, focus on using dribble combinations of no more than 3 dribbles to get past defenders, and opening up Julian's mind to mid-range stepbacks vs. deep-range stepbacks that he didn't have the upper & lower body strength to pull off. These simple tweaks to Julian's game easily would've made him a highly sought after player that D-3 and D-2 colleges, and maybe a handful of D-1 schools would've wanted in their programs.

Agreed

Exactly just to set him up with the same issue which is mainly their height. Just got to be realistic, but the upside is they definitely made bank off him and his families popularity, so they got something out of it at least. There are worst situations in life to be in.

Like most parents who put there kids into sports unfortunately. Seen it so many times!

so

Which is even worse in his lack of success. Reminds me of the Ball bros but at least 2 of the 3 are serious NBA players. This kid got the BBB treatment with none of the success

At least his dad got him into going outside 😂

This guy making the video is a dunce that's why. He only has 3k subs. He's trash

fr! too funny

@sailesh_sharma it's coz he sucks. That's why

😂😂😂😂😂😂

lmao

His biggest problem is his genetics. Had he grown to 6-9" he would have had a shot at making an NBA roster

Do to much can lead to burn out I know a family of martial art kids was force into it cause the dad but when they ask me do u love it I said yes I did and they told me they hated it

​@@carllubrin8518yes sir

This video is going to become very popular, so I expect that some excellent players will start watching it. Julian is also 5'7, short asf

@@thecosmicimaginationyea bro lil homie don’t play no defense. He will get cooked

Hahahaha. I think you might be right!

Pretty sure if any of the college players even juco players may be able too they would have played at a higher level than he ever has and she's short as hell

Truth be told probably will have some folks who played against looking at this like they knew this back then

i see what you did there in the end lol

In more ways than one

Both literally and figuratively

Yeah cause people are telling me that he is not 5’7 like how it says on google. They told me that he is 5’5.

@@kavarishettlesworth5929 yeah that’s crazy. At that height you really have to humble yourself, win ppl over and have an amazing work ethic. You can’t be low in height and low in character!

Just don't be an ass to your kids, I think the documentary is called Trophy Kids... it's crazy what some parents do. I will give my kid a lot of support and hope he plays ball, and not sit on an iPad all day playing minecraft like his cousins.

@@wulver810 You’ll be a great parent! Glad we still have people like this out there.

I may even become a coach, maybe his friends will need someone to help them out as well. I know I didn't have my dad around that often due to divorce, you know?

🥱

Nah he the type of guy to be happy about his point total even if his team is getting blasted by 40

@@bl-nt7vg 🤥

sounds like kobe

@@eub3429 🤥

But you're a nobody?

Looks like that’s where his height peaked too

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fo' real bro.

Damn

You never was on at all 😂😂

Yea, and Julian's claim of 5'7" is a joke I bet he is about 5'4".

Bros still got like 50+ years of life to choose what he wants to do 😂y'all the same type ppl who talk shit on someone's downfall then congratulate them when they at the top and act like y'all were there from the start😂

@@hoani3264: Would you calm down, Mr. Overreaction. The kid became a nobody on the basketball scene; that's all I got from the text. And OP is right. There was a kid in our middle school who was unstoppable; dunking at 11/12 with a jumper to boot. Fast forward to high school and he was just another shirt. Happens all the time for various reasons.

He made a name for himself and you calling him a nobody lmao?@@nottelling4828

You people find anything to talk bad on lmao do you talk bad about you're mum behind her back?@@nottelling4828

😂

I had to pause the video sometimes thinking I had a mobile game ad playing in a background tab but it was just this

Nah word it’s like you riding into battle and it’s just bout Julian Newman 😭

He should play in a Philippines league due to his height

@@Demon_232 agreed

He looks more like 5'5/5'6 tbh

Not really, the father is basically the same height, which is normal, but look at the arms and the legs, he has short limbs also. he has no bounce and no IQ

@@Demon_232 Even here, he would still be on the shorter side . Role player

They probably thought he'd grow taller.

Savage but facts 💯

He still got time lol

naw the hate is crazy😂

🙄

weirdo

I was just about to say the same thing and or even in MMA

@@RaulFlores-ge7uh Less reliant on height and more on weight classes and skill

lowkey i think that basketball was the worst option for him

@@lancestrickland6208 it objectively was, both his parents are midgets and he had no signs of a growth spurt anytime 💀

Dude would’ve been a monster boxer at like 115, 122 pounds

Savage

Lmao

Lol

😂😂😂

ahaha he looks stupid doing that. I feel like he's gonna have a seizure or something.

🙄

Those are called handles and it most certainly does if its coupled with other skills

@@VegasD702* coupled up exactly just like every hopper,, one dominant advantage + coupled up=well rounded game

​@@VegasD702gio can dribble fast you think he could make it?

@@skylerwhiteyo28964 review my first comment. What else can he do?

I've been using my wife's face soap to wash my ass for months. I swear to god this was an accident. My wife bought a bar of soap that looked somewhat nice about a year ago. It stayed in our shower for months and never seemed to be getting smaller. About 6 months ago my soap bar ran out and I decided to use her fancy bar. It never seemed to get smaller so I figured it was just there a show soap or something. To be looked at but never touched. I decided that that bar of soap was now my ball sack and ass cleaner. For months I used this poor bar to clean the sweat and grime off my unspeakables. I was happy. But it all came crashing down today. I was brushing my teeth and I saw that same soap bar being lathered all over my wife's face. I felt like vomiting but had to hide it fast. I gave her a lame thumbs up and smiled. She probably thought I was a dumbass. Anyways I will take this to my grave because my wife would murder me if she ever found out. Hopefully it stays that way.

It’s not really the fact that u were never meant to be a basketball player it’s just that being taller and longer makes everything so much easier so you would have to train harder and be much better compared to ur peers who might not even put in half the work but still be better. It really depends on how far you want to take basketball and accepting the fact things are always going to be harder for you compared to a taller person.

He’s more like 5’5.

Im 6"2 and couldnt even dunk bro

Same thing happened to my friend he was short but good but scouts want tall players unfortunately

@@user-de2gs6ek3b you have to build your legs cause your height by itself is not going to help you jump higher.

To much hype to early😢

That's not why he failed. He has a poor attitude. He thinks he is the greatest and still does.

@@tdb4763 oh yeah that to😁

to be fair, the guy still made millions off of social media so it still worked out

Exactly I am 5'8 and I love basketball but height is a major factor.

@@christopherosborn7081 no it’s not. Do you think Wemby made it cuz of his height?

@@eddiew2325 of course height is a major factor, I am not saying Wemby didn't practice and work hard but height helps a lot. There's a reason the NBA isn't populated with a lot of shorter people. Height gives you a major advantage.

​@christopherosborn7081 I think he was being sarcastic lol.

Well said!! There are so many examples of polar opposites to this kid that didn't play basketball until junior or senior years in high school and that reached the NBA! I can see this young man is short and this demands he be a lock down defender and incredible point guard with record assists. Instead he's just a small, slow ball hog. I blame the father 100%!!

That’s why I’m a streetballer now. Highest comp is ymca on my off days lol as well as park takeovers with my boy

I know dudes that are 6'8" and training early, and they suck in basketball

@@mcmerry2846 yeah and there’s more people who are average height and have dedicated their life to the sport getting passed up for 6’8 guys that started 2 years ago.

@@TheFiki14 20y or so 6'8, plays basketball since 12 and he sucked my balls on the basketball tournament

That’s on point

You're on to something, he never had a "real" coach. He was the main character on a team created by his father who wears eyeliner.

Maybe, but that doesn’t really matter when you top out at 4’11

@@MrJpmoneypants The height handicap should not be overlooked, I agree. I think if he had a real coach who taught him how to actually play the team game and use his ball handling skills to create space or facilitate plays... he could've worked out in some league some where in the world beyond educational institutions. For now it seems like he's getting back into playing for the love of the game. I really hope his game does develop and takes it to the next level.

@@MrJpmoneypants That doesn't matter, you have the example of Markquis Nowell who is practically the same height as julian and had a great career in college and now plays in the NBA and gleague, that's the difference when you do things right. If julian had followed the path right, at least I'd be playing in a decent league.

Nahh...4'11

Ive been saying this 😂 He lists himself as 5’7 to increase his draft stock, but he’s 5’4 at the MOST

Miget

He 5"1

he’s 5’7” guys. he looks short cuz the dudes he plays against are like 6’8”

🤣🤣🤣

That's not cool.

Nah, he has money. Well his dad does. They’ll just run a league

bro he's still young w his skills he could be a globetrotter or sum

He works at Taco Bell right now. He took my order last week

And his play style is horrible he's a ball hog if he used his speed to get create for others but that's the issue. And he's not athletic but I think he would be a decent point guard if he could create

@@Drkbardockssjfor sure. With a different mentality and play style he could be better

@@jomantis5 I doubt he’ll be able to change with all the shit his dad burned into him

This is the reason no of us can't make it😂

@@LuisMedina-cg7wn but I’m 8 foot on stilts 😔

Short man syndrome

I agree with you. If his dad was just his skills coach and Julian had a solid coach that taught him how to play the right way, dude could’ve learned how to be a slick point guard. I think the potential for money, and the money they have made is what kept his Dad looming in Julian’s spotlight 😂😂 I will add no disrespect for getting paid, just feel bad the kid didn’t get very close to his dream.

No he isn't. He's a victim of a lack of height and a lack of athleticism. He has skills, but he lacks athleticism, just like the video mentioned. Guys like Mugsy Bogues and Spud Webb were short, but they were super quick and explosive. Julian Newman is neither. At 5'7" Spud Webb could 360 dunk. Julian Newman doesn't even come close to being able to dunk.

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y he could go overseas and play? Tf you talking about he could of became a dribbling coach.. street baller.. but his dad ruined it for him

​@@OrphanTraveler97stop cursing its a sin.

​@@gregkareem9824lmao

​@@gregkareem9824Ok

This. I know as a FACT he ain’t 5 ‘7.

i feel like only children/gullible ppl believed he was actually really good.

Dribble, dribble, dribble & dribble.

He never got older. He the first human being to stay 7 years old.

@@user-de2gs6ek3b especially how he has temper tantrums 😂😂😂

@@nokuntry dont forget how he shakes his head 😂😂😂

There was a PG D1 who was 5'2". What was the difference? the 5'2" dude was actually a good player

🙄

He dribbles east-west, not north-south and he only has one gear

@@bl-nt7vg 🤥

He need to be as tall as Allen iverson. He also need to be on the streets. Living comfortable life didn’t help his toughness.

He's still famous enough to grow a youtube channel😂why do people always talk like there's no hope he's still young with alot of potential@@donnyvu1220

He had no upside at all.

I agree! And appreciate the feedback🏀

NO he can't hoop. He can Dribble.

@@hoani3264 if they stopped living their life cuz I said the comment was dramatic they got bigger problems lmao🤣

Even went as far as to lie about pro offers

of course, just look at the factors around it; was only able to play at a young age because he went to a small private school (opposing teams were literally starting 6 and 7th graders too), played in a horrible hs league, had the green light to shoot whenever because his pops was coach and it was all about him
