Best Non ignorant , most truthful and realistic comment ..

Smh
That dude this had the wrong people around him they didn't have his best interest in hand literally there's no way in hell he should have been struggling with such a bright future but there's sometimes you just have people around you are that willing to sabotage your whole future.
When I think about it after seeing this video, when I saw him in person at my son's HS bball tournament, it kind of makes sense now. He got into a fight there and the game was stopped. Something some player on the other team said to him.. and according to some other ppl in the crowd, it had been brewing beforehand. Maybe the other player said something to him about being feminine. Dunno!!! 🤔
This is happening way too often now. In the 80's guys were getting soft (not taking responsibility of a man) because they were lacking strong male role models. They were being raised in houses full of women (estrogen). At least that's my take on it. Now they're not just soft (as we used to call it), they're conducting themselves as if they're actual women. They're identifying that way. Two in the same household? Please no one tell me that this is the way it was "intended" or the way they were "born". That's a result of environment and the "nature" of their "nurturing" gone wrong.
All im gonna say is Parents with crack addictions will do anything/sell anything to anybody for their fix. His story is way more complex and begins as a child him and his brother went through some sick stuff

My heart goes out to this young man, but I want him to remember that God made You and he makes no mistakes and that he loves you. Also to remember to be alert and to stay safe. Keep your head up and believe in yourself. God will handle the rest of it. 🙏🏼
Correct and God made him a male.. What transpired here on earth opened the door for Satan to walk in and take him... Turn back to God or your Higher Power young MAN!
For as many we hear that made it, there’s stories like this who rock you to the core in understanding how this could happen. Today we need real coaches, community people and parents or guardians to help these kids. Kids today see too much, indulge in the wrong things and are exposed to sexual endeavors way too soon. We need to raise kids and hold them accountable at an early age. Prayers for this young brother that he finds himself.
This person went from playing basketball and being a top prospect to being a trans and showing how much trauma he actually is still dealing with to this day. Hopefully god blesses him one more time and he makes the right choice
This kid went to my school and it was always something going on with him, I remember him even pulling a knife on someone, hope this guy finds his path One day 🙏

Dude was blessed literally with a guaranteed ticket to the NBA. All he had to do was wait for his time. Athletic ability, size, high ranking and recognition at a country wide level. Even if he couldn’t see it, people around him probably could’ve guided him. This hella sad.
Right. All he had to do was make it to the nba and get that first round pick pay and he was set. Didn’t even need to be successful in the nba he just needed to make it. Such a shame.
The most confusing thing is he literally has no idea how tall he is. Like if you’re 7 feet and you’re doing nothing you’re the most noticeable person in the room you can’t be committing crimes literally no one fits your description in a 100 miles
Don't you know it. I always had a problem with the unofficial slap on the ass that many male US athletes do. Always thought that habit was a bit suspect.
If you watch his VICE documentary you can tell he’s been gay his whole life. Dude could have made so much money for only 4 years if he didn’t want to play any longer in the league and would have been set.
My biggest issue with this video is that you started it by stating he’s an adopted child of a drug-addicted mother, but then you go on to judge him instead of reporting on his issues. You showed a serious lack of empathy and understanding in this video that was otherwise very well done. I hope the next CHILD you profile, won’t be judged by a standard they don’t live by.
At some point, its not because you've had a bad childhood that everything you do should be accepted as normal. If you do something bad like stealing repetitively and you are offered multiple chances at reedeming yourself but you keep on fucking up, the empathy is out of the window.
It's way more than sexual abuse going on that's making male homosexuality so prevalent now! It's being programmed and reinforced through our foods! And those are facts. Not conspiracy theories.
this is deeper than him “going crazy” ..its obvious some man touched him and his brother as kids & confused them. he looks feminine & lost in every pic shown in this video tbh 💯
@@JaeThaGemini bro it doesn’t lmfao I know plenty of niggas who got touched/went through trauma and are not trans or gay But I do think you have a point with your original point
I met both these young men. Him and his brother. They had gone astray. It's a lot to this story that you don't know. They told me there story. He told me a out the arrest and how he was very good at basketball. Pray for them.
The same thing happened in the same town Brian Urlacher grew up in. 6 foot 7 bad ass basketball all star came out in 2000, and now has a female name and trans.
@Darius Helton this was years ago like 2010 in south Jersey at a chic fil a at a mall she was a towering black girl, just blocked out the menu ....I promise, someone is somewhere remembering the giant girl from chic fil a at the voorhees mall in voorhees nj.🤣
I pray this young man and his brother gets the deliverance they need!! Growing up in a home with drug abuse and raised in foster care,I know is very traumatizing! Either this young man was molested coming up,he could have just been exposed to this lifestyle and adapted to it or he did this to support himself and his brother..we never know the actual root cause of a person life,we simply just have to pray!
Sounds like that school kicking him out set of a chain reaction of bad decisions. Once he robbed that first store, it probably gave him some sort of adrenaline rush that helped him release alot if his inner turmoil. Dude just seemed to be going through it. At least the WNBA is always in need of new superstars lol
My boy Boo tried so hard to save this kid and his brother. Ended up getting robbed and threatened. Had he made it to NBA,still would had been a knucklehead.
Man I can only imagine how his former teammates are taking this.all those locker room shower memories are looking a little different and more clearer to them now.
Went to Miami high with him after he transferred from beach high , my freshman year 2016 when I was in the team , It was literally like a movie to go to our high school and games , is real sad to see Zach go down dat way gang I swear

My heart goes out to this young man, but I want him to remember that God made You and he makes no mistakes and that he loves you.
Also to remember to be alert and to stay safe. Keep your head up and believe in yourself.
God will handle the rest of it. 🙏🏼
Correct and God made him a male.. What transpired here on earth opened the door for Satan to walk in and take him... Turn back to God or your Higher Power young MAN!
@Unknown So God made a mistake with him?
For as many we hear that made it, there’s stories like this who rock you to the core in understanding how this could happen.
Today we need real coaches, community people and parents or guardians to help these kids. Kids today see too much, indulge in the wrong things and are exposed to sexual endeavors way too soon.
We need to raise kids and hold them accountable at an early age. Prayers for this young brother that he finds himself.
Im gonna pray for these people, we all
Need Jesus.
Lmao yeah ok bud
Amen
Amen
amen
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar ill pray for you too god bless you :).
This person went from playing basketball and being a top prospect to being a trans and showing how much trauma he actually is still dealing with to this day. Hopefully god blesses him one more time and he makes the right choice
"to being a trans" trans people are born the way they are. Regardless, I hope they find peace as well

@@reesemalo no one is born trans. They are born the gender they are. Being a trans is a choice.
@@MzAngieMac but the real question is how you gonna tell them how there born you wouldn't know cause you not them
@@vincenthill2884 - well if you’re playing for the boys basketball team then you do know 😂
Let he who is without sin , cast the first stone.
My favorite type of Christian right here.
So do say anything about sin????
Jesus died for your sins so if you’re not sinning he died for nothing

We WON'T judge... We will just listen 🎧
Even the justice system was hoping hed clean up his act and do some things in college then get drafted so they get a piece of the pie.
Imagine 7ft 1” 10 blocks per game Jessica Turberry chasing you asking for $10.
Nothing ever scares me but this...this terrifies me.
@@JstChrxz32 me too seriously
This kid went to my school and it was always something going on with him, I remember him even pulling a knife on someone, hope this guy finds his path One day 🙏
Is this cap?
Alpha D shit I believe it
@@alphad6232 I swear on everything, we went to Miami senior high. At first that was the story that was going around school and I didn’t believe it but then after all the trouble he got later on within the year I started to believe the stories
@@wizzykhalifa3552 cool cool cool, I believe you bro. You got Netflix ??
@@alphad6232 lmfaooo what
You ever stop and think that he was robbing places because his home situation may have been so terrible that his only option was to steal to support himself? Its very hard to see someone with a future so bright, stealing for no reason
I agree
I was thinking the same. This was survival.
He grew up in Over-Town and those projects you showed are called the Pork-N-Beans located in Liberty City.
Learned that watching first 48 back in the day. It's a Haitian community if I'm not mistaken.

WTF??!?!? IS THIS DUDE GOOD BRAH?
Lol who tf know 🤣
Obviously not.....
Depends what we talking bout 🤔
He was in high school
Nah bro he just gay
It’s amazing how he had a path straight for him and he just blew it 😐
Mfs would kill to be in his shoes and mans still threw it away smh
Bro don’t wanna go the “straight” and narrow route
That path was too straight I guess
@@NOCALGooN916 😂😂😂😂
@@NOCALGooN916 LOL 😂
Dude was blessed literally with a guaranteed ticket to the NBA. All he had to do was wait for his time. Athletic ability, size, high ranking and recognition at a country wide level. Even if he couldn’t see it, people around him probably could’ve guided him. This hella sad.
Right. All he had to do was make it to the nba and get that first round pick pay and he was set. Didn’t even need to be successful in the nba he just needed to make it. Such a shame.
There’s a video of him throwing a bike on someone in the streets 😭😂 I had to come back to this video
I was tweaking when I first read the title 😭
Facts
😂😂
The most confusing thing is he literally has no idea how tall he is. Like if you’re 7 feet and you’re doing nothing you’re the most noticeable person in the room you can’t be committing crimes literally no one fits your description in a 100 miles
Here after watching him slam a bike on someone
Same
Me too
Me too ! ✋
Where the vid
7ft.1 and he's robbing people by sudden snatching? No matter how fast he flees the scene, he's unmistakable.
Tallest mf in the city 😂😂
bruh this vid caught me all the way off guard
She's 7'1". Wouldn't the video have knocked you off 'center?' 🤔😂
This title was too wild wtf 🤣🤣🤣
Who came here after watching him beating a lil dude with a bike??
A sad story 😭
He would have fit right in with the NBA now; most of them are down low bothers!
How u know
Don't you know it. I always had a problem with the unofficial slap on the ass that many male US athletes do. Always thought that habit was a bit suspect.
@@bigjonah5503 If you live/work/play around them, you know.
iamcynt it’s a lot of down low men in the league
@@iamcynt u live work and play around them
Bru once I saw those title I was shocked asf
If you watch his VICE documentary you can tell he’s been gay his whole life. Dude could have made so much money for only 4 years if he didn’t want to play any longer in the league and would have been set.
My biggest issue with this video is that you started it by stating he’s an adopted child of a drug-addicted mother, but then you go on to judge him instead of reporting on his issues. You showed a serious lack of empathy and understanding in this video that was otherwise very well done. I hope the next CHILD you profile, won’t be judged by a standard they don’t live by.
I hope the next child he profiles will be judged. Go cry about it.
Bruh be upset at his MOTHER not the uploaded smh
At some point, its not because you've had a bad childhood that everything you do should be accepted as normal. If you do something bad like stealing repetitively and you are offered multiple chances at reedeming yourself but you keep on fucking up, the empathy is out of the window.
@@ashley1570 Your empathy is out the window. You get what you give.
I can’t believe this guy didn’t mention drugs anywhere
So sad these boys be getting abused smh can’t blame him .
It's way more than sexual abuse going on that's making male homosexuality so prevalent now! It's being programmed and reinforced through our foods! And those are facts. Not conspiracy theories.
That thumbnail was definitely pretty um interesting 😭😅🗣💯
Haha
this is deeper than him “going crazy” ..its obvious some man touched him and his brother as kids & confused them. he looks feminine & lost in every pic shown in this video tbh 💯
Trauma does not lead to being trans
@@reesemalo you must be one
@@JaeThaGemini bro it doesn’t lmfao I know plenty of niggas who got touched/went through trauma and are not trans or gay
But I do think you have a point with your original point
Just got here from the title alone. I must say this story is bitter sweet.
Brooo it’s crazy I remember watching his documentary 5 years ago and thinking he had a feminine voice 😂😂
Bruh idk why CZcams recommended this but I’m 💀 💀 💀💀💀
Lollll
18:03 Monster block....then his wrist goes limp and he holds his hand like EJ Johnson
LMMFAO!!!! I peeped that

Honestly I’m curious what are they feeding these kids to be 7ft as a freshman😭...... like y’all do realize how nuts that is right!
I was in 8th grade and Prince Starks was 6’4 in 8th grad he plays for Miami Beach High. This is normal in Miami seeing freakish athletes

Really? Did you know she was trans?
@@kokolatte825 yea it was a really big thing, I live with my girlfriend from high school and she remembers being a big thing back in the day..

I met both these young men. Him and his brother. They had gone astray. It's a lot to this story that you don't know. They told me there story. He told me a out the arrest and how he was very good at basketball. Pray for them.
I will pray for them 🙏🏾🙏🏾
How the hell did this happen. He had so much potential and wasted it. He was also a lefty as well. Smh he’s family really failed him.

The same thing happened in the same town Brian Urlacher grew up in. 6 foot 7 bad ass basketball all star came out in 2000, and now has a female name and trans.
He definitely looked up to jason collins
How tf you 7’0 and wanna rob stores bro what😭😭😭😭

"police records list him as 7''1" and 190 pounds" What the hell happened to his weight? That can't be accurate...

I pray this young man and his brother gets the deliverance they need!! Growing up in a home with drug abuse and raised in foster care,I know is very traumatizing! Either this young man was molested coming up,he could have just been exposed to this lifestyle and adapted to it or he did this to support himself and his brother..we never know the actual root cause of a person life,we simply just have to pray!
Exposed to this lifestyle??
i met him at a mcdonald’s in orlando when he was with his AAU team at the time, kept up with him hoping he’d make it to the league and i see this lol
Sounds like that school kicking him out set of a chain reaction of bad decisions. Once he robbed that first store, it probably gave him some sort of adrenaline rush that helped him release alot if his inner turmoil. Dude just seemed to be going through it. At least the WNBA is always in need of new superstars lol
They gave up on him mad quick lol doesn’t make sense especially being a top recruit
what a world we live in
My boy Boo tried so hard to save this kid and his brother. Ended up getting robbed and threatened. Had he made it to NBA,still would had been a knucklehead.
Man I can only imagine how his former teammates are taking this.all those locker room shower memories are looking a little different and more clearer to them now.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
They knew...that's what the continuous fighting was about.
Best believe everyone on that team knew that boy was Gummi Bear gay! I bet that was no secret to anyone that knew him and his "brother "....
