That’s very true. It disgust me that coaches and parents especially allow these children to be disrespectful to each other. Back 8n the day of you did this, you would be benched if not kicked.
Some of the worst weekends of my life when I allowed my son to play on aau team!!! What a eye opening experience! First, the organizers are pocketing large money, parents are brutal and kids are the worst!!!
I play for a sixth grade AAU team and this is factual,I talk a lot of trash for a twelve year old but at the end of the game I’m respectful cause all it is is I’m trying to get in the other teams head and make them mad( it works every time)
I have seen none of this in my Grandson's AAU teams. Maybe because we are Deep South and we teach our kids how to act. And act like they have been there before.
I'm imagining a young Larry Bird at that age, he wouldn't flex after making a layup, he'd just chuckle at the defender and say, "Don't bother, Holmes, you can't guard me".😄
Those far corner shots and passes were great! I see what you mean by the kid in goggles looking like the next Larry Bird too. Good to see him getting along with his teammates too.
@@mikekasauskas8748 true but he did it in a way people understood it was to throw them off their game. It was more of competitive spirit and his strategy. It wasnt just flat out insulting them to be mean or rude. Either way he could back it up more than half the time.
no aau has helped basketball with kids getting seen by coaches and also gaining a fan base and even money. networking with people and even traveling not ever expecting to experience that so aau got a lot of Ws
Great group of kids. It’s great seeing young men competing against each other and challenging each other. Especially in a world that is trying to divide them. Keep it up young men stay strong.
As talented as some of these kids are is as nasty as their attitudes are. They are copying what the see the pros do and it's a bit sickening to me,,,all that flexing, stare downs and taunting.
guess u gotta watch it now with the new recruits or college and honestly this video is more entertaining then the NBA too because these kids have more freedom
@@baldibaldimore6423 "Sportsmanship" sounds a lot like yt people talking about etiquette, or people in positions of authority harping on decorum. Seems overrated and ethnocentric.
I was thinking the same thing. the "look at me", chest-thump generation. But they are only mimicking the narc displays they see on TV. Everyone about themselves, not the team. The coach should be reeling that in. I can still picture my dad's stare when I would throw a bat, or show up an opponent celebrating a good play. Haha. If I went 3-4, scored 15 pts, or 3Tds, I knew what the topic of Conversation would be on the walk/drive home.
Great comment!!! But I would say all pro athletes in all the leagues. That's where these kids are getting it. And the coaches are allowing it. It looks like a pretty good 12 yr old bball game and I can't enjoy it bc of all the "look at me" crap.
@@serenity1626They take that trash from outside the court (lines) into the real world. The working world don’t care that you were an AAU legend in fourth grade. Get in line, or your fired! 🤗
Like the great Lisa Simpson said,when she had to join a peewee league to pass gym. Quote “you mean the ones where the parents push their kids into viscous competition to compensate for their own failed dreams of glory”. 😂😂😂beautifully said and accurate!!!! 😂😂 9:00
Uniforms match the terrible lack of sportsmanship and overall class. I’m embarrassed for those few in attendance with any type of impulse control or dignity! Pathetic!
this is a L-ass comment, who says they don't?! your not they're parents stop projecting the way you acted as a child onto them they are not you stfu next time
Imagine shutting the fuck up, you have no clue how they’re doing in school, you have no clue if their scholars or not. Stop making assumptions about kids, just let them be kids.
Man, I hate how the trash talk and antics percolate down to the younger kids. You hardly ever saw all that trash when I played in middle school. It’s kinda ugly bad sportsmanship. I know… so quaint.
Reminds me of my 7th grade riding the bench. We had a black man-child on the team that had failed to pass to the next grade twice. He scored 48 points in a 52 to 50 game he won. Sadly he never got to play half of the games because of his poor grades. He never made it to 30, he was shoot in a pool hall in the hood.
It all starts at the young age. You allow them to act a fool-especially after just shooting a BALL 🏀 into a hoop, they’re gonna take that piss-poor attitude into the real world where NOBODY cares how good they were at basketball in the fourth grade. It will cost them eventually. Sad.
These little guys believe in one-upmanship over sportsmanship. I’m sure they’ll be great adults after their NBA dreams fizzle, and they have to live in real world competition.
6th grader acting tough flexing their arms, staring at other players and just plain disrespectful. Is this what we should be teaching them, and their parents standing on the sidelines egging it all on.
Why do these young man have to act so narcissistic? It’s a team sport not a look at me sport. No wonder why some of our young men ………never mind, my opinion won’t change the way they act.
@pwrlineJAWK Not trying to do too much, playing in the flow of the game. And more importantly, if you watch closely, he moves to the right spots on D and O.
