Damn bro you violated on the thumbnail 😂😂😂
Did Julian wrong. He been doing a lot of CZcams basketball now tho. Ballislife and creator league. That’s like hella disrespect 😂
Definitely has me about to do a do not recommend on this channel.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thenightingale7405 Is this something official you can do? All I did is a dislike but I feel like I should do more because of this clickbait.
Newman as McDonald's worker 🤣
He is more suited for Horse Jockey 🤣
I’m convinced all those online articles touting Julian as the best high school hooper were written by his father or somebody he paid off.
There’s an article from the tamp bay times that pretty much called it- Julian has no shot. Also exposed Papa Newmans lies of his own college recruiting (he lied abt his own offers too- go figure).
Julian's issues are his size, and his arrogance that was instilled into him by his father and everyone who hyped him up. Once he went up against good players with size he couldn't compete. He was used to iso play and was very selfish, trying to take on the D all the time instead of using his teammates effectively.
the issue is only his height. a lot of great players are selfish
why wont anyone say the reason why he made the high school team was because his dad was the coach
@@bmk2561 to a point, he thinks he is playing 1 on 1, 1 on 2, 1 on 3, 1 on 5. Only so much of that coaches and teammates will put up with, and as I said, he turns the ball over A LOT.
@@bernardochavis4230 are you kidding me? He would have made any high school team. Dude he averaged like 30ppg what are you talking about. The kid can still hoop and drain the deep three. So you way wrong my guy
@@ThatWrapperDude don't know what division 3 highschool you went to lol height definitely plays a factor and so did his dad. I wouldn't be surprised if his dad ran every play through him, just like damn near every coach I've seen coaching his own sons team 🤷♂️
Dam, 😂😂😂😂 they had Julian Newman with the McDonald's uniform on in the picture for the video. Not the uniform he might have imagined, but he still suiting up.
Lmao
That thumbnail was fucking funny
@@berniegoresimposter8137 LOL, true talk.
Mcdonalds employee 😂😂😂😂 did him dirty 😮😂😂
That thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
Just savage 💀
Great vid!
As you move up in age & levels, the fish get bigger & the the pond gets smaller.
Did em dirty in the thumbnail 😂
Great video
5:13
Bruh didn’t even bother to jump 😭🤣😂
Julian's issue wasn't only height. He could have gotten away with being short if only he had the talent to be in the pros. Prob is he didn't. He's just good for highschool games. He stopped improving from there and was having a really hard time with amateur level players. He just isn't built for the game. It's just something he has to accept.
It’s always hard to know how good someone is until they get around other competition that is just as good if not better. Around college or college age, a lot of these guys get exposed as the competition thickens. It’s the same if they go overseas.
Same thing gonna happen to Bronny.
Mac has been forgotten again.
I just subscribed to your channel!
I Lol'd at that thumbnail. Julian can't be a bust if he doesn't get drafted in the first place.
the outher person in the jump ball vs tacko didnt even jump lol
Why waste the energy?
Aquille Carr was my mixtape legend. Wonder where he’s at now
he’s playing in a minor league for a team named the Pennsylvania Reading Rebels
He played in the d league for a bit and then overseas. I think he plays for a minor league now.
That thumbnail was hilarious😂😂
Thumbnail was hella clickbait🤣. Julian wasn’t ever close to MJ
ayooo that thumbnail hahahahah
3-10 years for stealing sunglasses is wild, you can’t even get arrested for breaking into someone’s car in my state.
Lol why is the thumbnail julian in mcdonalds
I met Julian Newman at a bowling alley.
"5'7 stature" is generous.
I know because I'M 5'7 and I was looking DOWN at him.
That thumbnail is cold 🤣🤣
The thumbnail is crazy
yo the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That thumbnail wild 🤣
A new school created by his dad for him on his senior year 😂
Lol the thumbnail
I remember Newman's videos. I feel sympathy as a short guy myself.
Newman refused to pass the ball thats why he never made it to the next level
@@commonsense2156 eventho hes a great passer hes short dude. Basketball its a game of height thats the truth.there are many people who moves like him taller than him but couldnt make it to nba
@@commonsense2156bro that has nothing to do with it he is short lol he should have played soccer lol
McClung is a head scratcher. He obviously average 15-18pts through his college career, and that's not enough to get drafted. Maybe it was his size and position he played
I never knew about him until he played for the Hoyas in the Big East, he wasn't a star player but he was decent, and had good instincts and a decent I.Q for the game, but he turned the ball over more than a pg should though; that could be worked on..
I think he's the classic tweener, his skill set was more like that of a 2 guard but in a pg body and size @ barely 6'2..
He's basically a scorer in a pg's body...
And there's some bias going on I believe, white PG's are extremely rare, same as the white wide receiver in the NFL, they're not expected to be be wide receivers (white dudes that is)...same way no one expects them to be PG's.
Dude can play in the NBA though, he has the talent, a coach just has to figure out the best way to use him..
Idk what it was but he has talent
There's not one person on this planet who called him the next MJ congratulations you got people to watch your video
thumbnail is crazy! lmao
5:13 This too funny bruh
Matt would have been a monster at safety... probably all-pro.💯💯💯
You’re right
That's cold putting him a McDonald's uniform man 😅😅😅
5:14 was unfair advantage out the gate 😂
Newman biggest problem has always been his persona and his fathers involvement
Why you say that
A lot of these players would likely be in the NBA right now if they had grown to 6'3. That's a sad reality when it comes to what they value as *value* nowadays.
You’re a liability on defense. You better be shooting 75% from the 3 if you’re short
Better at least 6'7 or even 6'10. Duncan Robinson and Davis Bertans are the perfect examples of just pure height + shooting and nothing else.
If Julian Newman is 5’ 7 then I am 7’ 3 lmao 😂
he's not even 5'5
@@matiaspincheira7571 that’s what I’m saying
Exactly bro should have just played soccer lol cause he not tall enough for basketball
Newmann Before: hes just a kid
After: hes still a kid😂
Nah that title pic is mad😂
Bruh that thumbnail is hilarious
I seen Julian at chick-fil-a here in Vegas. He was .72 cents short for his order. He asked me for $1 so I gave it to him. I thought nothing of it, until I realized all he ordered was a large drink that cost $2.79
🧢
😂😂😂😂😂
I was in shock
I heard he received an award for the most best outstanding award sold the most Happy meal in McDonald's.
never understood why young men want to go into the sport category when they got a better shot at becoming a well know lawyer or Doctor and its a way better career as well.
What a good career to YOU clearly isn't to THEM. They can do what they want with their life man.
why they use that thumbnail lmaooo, i thought he was working mcdonalds fr 💀
McClung is riff raff cousin 😂😂
Newman is 5'7" with shoes and 5 layers of socks on.
Newman was the same height in 5th grade and age 21
5:14 the white's Center be like, Why would I even bother.
Nah y’all need to chill with these thumbnails fr😭😭
Mcclung definitely saved the dunk contest it was getting boring before he won
Thumbnail so cold
His sis b lookin like a whole 35 year old mother of 2 n she finna b rollin thru that drive thru yo
My 8 year old is almost as tall a Julian Newman lmao 😂
5:14 dude didn't even bother
Just had to say the title is beyond me When they compare that man to Mj stop playing 😂❗️
I just Never thought Julian would make it anyway
I wanna see newman in that mcdonald suit so bad..
These guys will never work at McDonalds😂
julian newman working at mcdonalds 😂
I came for the thumbnail 😂
You're still talking about this dude... only you thought he would be the next mj at 5'1.
Julian peaked in 5th grade when he outgrew his dad... no1 in this video is the next anything except the next "where are they now" in 5 years
Where’s thron maker ????I remember seeing the headlines “the next KD” lmao wild
He didn’t save it , he did do great dunks that were done already without redos so it’s cool 🙌🏾😂
McJunalds 😂
If you thought Julian who plays high schoolers for what 10 straight years was the next MJ y’all needa be put in prison😂
Why try to insult this young man cause he has a starters job.
When your ego is higher that you actually are
Cause buddy could dribble and shoot a tear drop yall loved that newman guy smh
Nobody ever in they life said Julian was the next MJ
Ayoooooo🤣😂😂
Newman went wrong having his dads genetics
It used to be that NBA stars had to earn their big pay and star status from pure accomplishments and work rather than be seemingly hyped and pre-paid as multimillionaires based on potential alone when more often than not, sadly, it doesn't pan out that way. I feel like this video is a stark highlight of that reality. That's why heavyweights like Larry Bird used to give the most shit to rookies once when they made it on the league court, especially if they were future Hall of Famers and super-hyped players such as Dominique, Clyde Drexler, and even Jordan, so they would know they're nobodies in the NBA until and unless they earn their way and respect.
quite literally no one called that man the next mj. 😭
Literally the only reason I opened this video is because I saw Julian Newman wearing the McDonald’s outfit (the disrespect is real) 😂😂😂
Ain’t nobody thought he was the next MJ 💀💀
best clickbait to put on thumbnail
Greatest organic dunk was Blake Griffin over the beautiful KIA.
Next mj- mcdo journey😂
Imagine being a teammate to Julian. Does he even pass the ball or just take half court shots and drive the ball?
That’s one his flaws. This video highlights how many points a game he averaged but don’t show how he never passed and every team he’s ever played in always has a loosing record 😂
@@Mr.Soul99 I'm surprised any of this stayed on that team. What fun is there in it for them when daddy's boy just hogs the ball the whole game? I'm surprised all the players didn't just walk off the team.
thumbnail crazy 💀💀
You forgot Jashaun Augusto 🤣🤣
JULIEN going Overseas to Australia
Single handily saved the dunk contest? Nah. That would be Zach lavine vs Aaron Gordon.
Newman just never grew tho. Could've been fun to watch at the pro level
He lacked the fundamentals. He was in it for showboating. Never really had a solid basketball IQ as well.
Dude had zero fundamentals. Dribbled 20 times before he even went anywhere on the court lol
Newman would’ve been a solid soccer player especially with his speed but bro was basically forced a basketball player because of his dad
@@chuyozuna2398 nah his speed is mid
@@chuyozuna2398 Even professional soccer(fùtbol) players are usually in the 5'9/5'10 and above range, depending on their positions.
Defenders and goalkeepers are usually 6'1 and over, obviously they don't need the height of basketballers but they're not short people.
Outside of you having exceptional speed and athleticism, 5'7 is considered small in soccer as well.
0:00 someone tell me why bro got the worldstar boxing stance
The next MJ, Maybe you’re talking about Micheal Jackson right? 😂
Julian only viral bc of his sister. Literally everyone knew he never had a REAL shot with grown people.
No lie I always love Julian eat some good humble pie. Dude is way to cocky
Julian is not 5’7 he is closer to 5’5
His father did him like Lavar Ball did to his kids, but they were taller so they made it.
His the Reaper in the Philippines😅
"Single handily saved the dunk contest" saying that like Trey Murphy didn't go 50 for 50 dunks with him
Dam that thumb niel
Jaden tho!! 😍
i only noticed Newman when he was trash talked Jaythan and backfired to him..
You left one person out Aquille Carr
Thugsy Bogues made it to the NBA, standing at only Five Foot Tree.
