Jabari Parker Highlights from the 2011 LeBron James Skills Academy - Class of 2013

[uncfan150]

He knows where to go to win. UNC!!!

[thistookmeawhile]

Coach Self > K +Izzo

Come to KU son

[MisterSack123]

Coach K>Tom Izzo.

[mperryize1]

What a player finally sombody with a shot...off the dribble

[BYUALLBALL]

BYU!

[TheChucky4664]

why have they listed him at 6'7" when he measured in at 6'9" during the event. He is still only 16 aswell Lebron grew a couple of inches after he was drafted so jabari still has ways to go.

[WatUpMyAnigo]

this dude is smooth

[iiBALLallDAY]

how is he lebron he dont even dunk thats some Kobe right there!!!!!!

[360tasos]

the players wear the same shoes

[Arobbanks]

he plays like Jamal Crawford

[MrKyphelalancerdemon]

i think kentucky is a front runner. im sure calipari is throwing some big money at him like all of his other recruits in the past

[MHSindians96]

Shabazz = athletic dunking Jabari = shooting Andrew Wggins = BOTH

[proscout2009]

I think Kentucky offers more for this player than any other school out there. Jabari fits nicely in the Calipari dribble drive offense and intensive defense. Playing for the winningest team in College basketball always means a shot at a title game. Plus, you get incredible exposure. The big blue nation is a fan base in its own class. Playing in Rupp Arena is something special as well.

[jbillsallday913]

i think hes average im just as good as him or better im 6'1 16 the reason why im not up there is becuase my school team is terrible 1-14

[abcdanielz]

wuts the name of the beat???

[proscout2009]

Mr. Parker, and I mean Mister, would be a perfect fit in the Kentucky / Calipari dribble drive, intensive defense system. The big blue nation is already following this fine player. They love him! I think Jabari has a great future where ever he goes, but I think Kentucky will prepare him better and faster than anywhere else. I think he would have more fun there as well.

[rayallday8]

hes still a beast tho

[rayallday8]

Man, what i would give to be 6'7"...

[TheJIMNOTJIMMY]

DAMN... When LeBron is shooting around by himself he pretends to be Jabari Parker!

[dajuan401]

Ranked number 1 out of all hs basketball players.chi-town stand up

[djw231]

Come to BYU! Come make us say "Jimmer - who?"

[bradleytrack1]

UNC all day

[starleito]

at 0:23 seconds he made tht ugly face then got crossed and taken to the basket

[scoobs06]

He'll be playing at Kentucky I'm sure.  These are the kinda guys Calipari gets

[Checkmyflow23]

well im watching his game right now and apparently hes gotten even more teams on him, and why wouldn't he. anybody would want the number 1 recruit in the nation. sad to say this but im pretty sure states not gonna get him. the major schools hes gotten offers from louisville, UNC, duke, and kansas...msu and kentucky are the only two that havent made an offer towards him. we'll have to see what happens but odds are, he wont go to msu.

[lukieb23]

he better be heading to u of i

[princethebeast]

@lukieb23 the only school he is gonna go to i either duke Kentucky or byu

[Checkmyflow23]

@KlutchKobe24 @Sparty171 you think he'll start Gauna at PF..? Who knows its too early to tell anyways

[lefthookD]

that dude at 0:23 THOUGHT he was aboutta strap up on Jabari. Lol get real fool

[TheJIMNOTJIMMY]

WASHINGTON!!

[rancidglass]

wow, I know the word "plethora" is overused in sports but this kid literally has a bag of different moves in his arsenal.  His size, athleticism and versatility will have him playing in the pros.

[Checkmyflow23]

@KlutchKobe24 Dawson at SG?! Lol dude he's NOT a shooter. Parker and Dawson will both be playing SF but Dawson will have the starting spot...Izzo doesn't like to start freshman unless he really needs to. If anything the lineup will be Appling at PG, Gary Harris at SG, Dawson at SF, Nix at PF, and Payne at C.

[KlutchKobe24]

PG Appling

SG Dawson

SF Parker

PF Nix

C Payne

thats a national championship right there.

[Sparty171]

@KlutchKobe24 the power forward would have to be costello or kaminski because nix would have already graduated

[goldie2g]

young KD

[osbsy9596]

i love his shot

[wheezyville]

he is explosive now man makes things easier for him i love watching this kid play

[aDrIaNnAjC]

Jabari and my bro used to play basketball on the same team GO RISING STARS ;)

[Sixtown13]

Parker, I know you saw what happened at Indiana yesterday. Come to IU, you will be loved!!!!

[23TDJ]

@ezkcdude are serious? Lebron James 270 self and Kevin Durant 7'0 self is not your typical SF when have we ever said that you have to be 270 pounds or 7'0 to be SF. They are very different and unique SF. Jabari is big with a wide body and 6'8 230, which is great size for a SF. You don't have to worry about Jabari he will be raw

[BlackMesaRoofing]

Jabari is not only a great talent but a great kid. He plans to go on a two year mission, being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I really hope he goes to BYU, but hard to turn down the Dukes, NC, and Ohio States of the world. Keep rep'n and keep the faith.

[shaq430]

@BlackMesaRoofing where have you heard/read this? i read that he does`nt plan on doing any missions..

[WildcatsLexKy]

That's has to be the prettiest f'n finger roll I've ever seen.

[curling27]

He transformed his body since his freshman year. If he puts on muscle, he WILL be the next Lebron!

[goduke456]

If him and Julius Randle join Matt Jones in the 2013 class, and maybe Shabazz commits, Duke will be loaded if Rivers stays.

[imsoill32]

@goduke456

even if shabazz doesn't commit, rivers will probably stay and they will be stacked.

[goduke456]

Some of the best shooting form I've seen.

[Number5Aaron]

Future Washington Huskies

[masonhv]

Be a Jayhawk

[davidbacamusic]

Best player in the country regardless of class. Im impressed.

[ezkcdude]

Is he still growing? Kid got mad skillz and all that, but 6'7" is not as tall as it used to be. You know? He's not nearly as strong as James or as long as Durant. Maybe he can move to SG.

[inthadangerzone]

@ezkcdude espn says he's 6'8' now

[Bossrah]

@ezkcdude He will be fine and will add muscle soon enough, he is still very young

[lnsfreak]

@ezkcdude once theyre in college they start pumping them with hgh. look at lebron in high school he wasnt that strong

[Sank23M]

@lnsfreak

Lebron didn't go to college...

Smh.

[lnsfreak]

@Sank23M if you read the comment i was responding to your correction is irrelevant. i never said lebron went to college. we're talking about lebron compared to parker in high school and the fact that parkers not as strong as lebron, but hell get stronger once they start beefing him up with expensive human growth hormones in college and if you look at lebron in high school he wasnt buff either. lebron went to the nba where they also get hormones yet better and more than college players. fool

Smh.

[HowAboutTheseApples]

@lnsfreak U sound like a high school dropout with ur HGH conspiracy.

[lnsfreak]

@HowAboutTheseApples ooohhh big conspiracy. its pretty well known they all do it. you sound like one of the naive idiots who called people that said baseball players were using steroids throughout the 90s "conspiracy theorists" its as obvious now that they use hgh when a 23 year old grows two inches in 6 months as it was then that they used steroids when a 23 year old grew 4 cap sizes, gained 50 lbs and had worse acne than a 13 year old in a year

[Bossrah]

@ezkcdude Lebron wasn't as big as he is now at Parkers age, Once he hits a NBA program he will fill out

[IplayCodwitharock]

@ezkcdude Kobe is 6.7 look what he does even at the age of 33 My school Amundsen plays his school tommorow and were ganna get dominated but this kid's future Nba player fersure

[keenan3933]

make da chi luk gud!!!!!

[hoxiejer]

This kid plays like a Kevin Durant clone. And thats a good thing obviously. Hopefully Izzo can snag him up. GO GREEN!

[ACDC392333]

Well, now Izzo will be focusing soley on him. Here's hoping Jabari goes Green and wins a nat'l championship as a frosh (which he will he if he commits)

[10simmonz]

@ACDC392333 If Izzo can get Jabari Parker then he will be building a machine for a team. Man i hope it happens. Go Green

[ACDC392333]

@10simmonz Dude and then think about this: If Izzo gets Parker, odds are the NBA may institute a two-year rule instead of one, and then in 2014 gets the Tyus Jones-Jahlil Okafor combo he's targeting hard we could have another back to back final four run in 13-14 and 14-15 hopefully with a title.

[MHSindians96]

@ACDC392333 Marquette has a chance at him now with his HS teammate coming here and his other 2013 HS teammate liking MU

[ACDC392333]

@MHSindians96 Perhaps, but I think he goes Duke or MSU before Marquette, though they are a factor now, probably tight with Washington for third right now I'd guess.

[Lorenshyne]

@ACDC392333 Are you serius Michigan State and Izzo buryys his player alive. He ruins his players look what he made of Kalin Lucas. Big recruits dont go there anymore, unless some area kids from Michigan. Izzo plays annoying nerdy b-ball. He dont like individuals. Chris Allen and Lucious left him, coz he cant develop talent.

Jabari your father played in the league, so Duke is the perfect place for u.

[ACDC392333]

So Dawson, Harris and Appling aren't All Americans? Allen left because Izzo kicked him off. Izzo develops a ton of decent players into good ones (Suton, Anderson) who get drafted. The NBA is more about talent and ability than coaching, when Izzo has had that talent they've been successful (JRich, Randolph). Izzo avoided top recruits for a while. Until now and he's been a monster in recruiting. Everyone he's wanted he's gotten. MSU has been a power Parkers whole life, he'll go Green.

[Clint8179]

After watching a lot of these types of videos,....This kid looks like he is the most well rounded player that I have seen.

[TheJohngtm]

strawberry nesquik anyone?

[boscorelli23]

i think he plays like durantuala.. with that step back

[jordanisbest1]

to me he plays like Lebron James at least with his step back and drives to the basket

[blackmamba2314]

goin out for bball team :D just moved to IL and all i been hearin about is this guy. I gotta step up my D (understatement of the year) if imma keep up wit him

[Majesticon]

wow, plays like grant hill

[thyre12]

@bsain22 Wrong bro he should be an Illini

[ter57482]

He is nice w/ his length & quickness he covers alot of ground easily!

[bsain22]

He should be a Spartan!!

[23TDJ]

@Bossrah Carmelo may not be 225 exactly, but he is around 220. He resembles Melo more than Durant. I do agree tho that stutter cross over is similar to Durant, but in game Durant is more of a shoot of the run guy. I believe he is more Melo, but still have some differences. So, to me, he has a good mix of Melo and Kobe

[Bossrah]

@23TDJ True he does share that Melo mentality. Idk brah he has a pretty diverse game, It is hard to put a finger on who he shares most of his game with

[HoneysHiphopHoops]

music suits his play way too well!

[23TDJ]

He does not play like Kevin Durant. You have to be like 6'10 and weigh 200 pounds and shoot most of the time and do not handle the ball. He is built like Carmelo Anthony: 6'8, 225 pounds, and shooting ability. But, he plays more like old Kobe but he's just a bit bigger. He uses post up fades, goes to the rim using angles, long range shooting, and the basketball IQ. I agree with Coach K he compared him to Kobe, but just with Carmelo Anthony's size. A good mix of Melo and Kobe

[Bossrah]

@23TDJ Carmelo's fat ass is not 225lbs also JP's style of play is similar to durant , the stutter cross into a drive at the rim is a go to move for KD and the kid mirrors it to a T

I will say this tho alot of his back down game does look like Melo

[ATLrosswl89]

Kid is a gamer... obviously... but the defense at these showcases are trash. I want to see him actually get D"d up by a kid that's elite at defense... then il be sold that this kid is the real deal (Top 5 Draft pick)

[Killaswaggurr]

My nigga ball just like KD :O

[mraj700]

do they all have on the same shoes ? great video this guy is a monster , but i couldnt help but notice the kicks..

[masterlegend10]

He was probably the best player at the lebron camp, excluding Lebron.

[dundunna05]

His form is pure for such a young age, he's gonna be a lights out shooter

[BigReds0809]

Someone hook me up w/ this beat

[timmyD323]

 defenders face at :23

[byufan2489]

Thank goodness he's mormon. this gives BYU a better chance at landing him in Provo

[NikThaQuik]

@Dalit5 KD's handles are just as good if not better

[TheRealKaylon]

He's Definitely A Kevin Durant .

[Brent1Cabatan]

this guy is sick. does anyone know what the song is called? too sick

[vinsteeezul]

@Dalit5

idk kd has improved his handle alot this summer man... its like streetball out there lol

no boubt though, hes gunna be a beast. especially if he grows like an inch or two more.

[kbnas]

He's getting better and better. Beat reminds me of chi town

[oidinkdeylikeme]

kevin durant ??? wtf .. THIS KID HAS MELO WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM !!!

[McHaleJohnson]

Lol. Naw hes none of this and never will be, hes Jabari Parker

[kbplaya123]

almost traveled at :49

[FreshkidAndy1]

paul pierce..

[Zipdog9]

Grant Hill

[dwightguymurrphy]

Melo !

[ry27sm]

The ONLY accurate comparison is young GRANT HILL.

Too bad most of you are too young to know his game.

[stonedog23]

His game is more Carmelo than Durant. His step back jumper is reminiscent of Carmelo.

[D1Bound25]

He Reminds me of a Grant Hill/Carmelo Anthony Player

[23TDJ]

Carmelo Anthony 6'8, 220, shooter with post up ability

[aletheaheisenii0387]

@CityLeagueHoopsTV great video, reminds me of myself - haha. I'm 5 6 and I can dunk. I followed the real nba workout that that even Kobe and Ray Allen both used. If you want more info about the program, check out - 50-inch-vertical(dot)com

[TheIconic1]

evrybody good is durant now fucking cronies

[iceOne89]

A young Durant for sure.

Keep putting in that work in the gym and he's sure to be advancing nicely in his basketball career.

[nlj62695]

unc

[BryAntonRose25]

Does anybody else see Antoine Walker?

[Bigmarcus11]

reminds me more of a paul pierce then kevin durant

[TREzyGetPuzze]

reminds me of carmelo anthony

[chitownmo]

@TREzyGetPuzze yeah or a bigger pierce. one and done(unless rule repealed or added to) top 3 2014 pick no less.

[lilkdub503]

Paul Pierce-why is every tall kid with handle Kevin Durant? It all started with Quincy Miller, so basically any skinny 6'8+ guy is Kevin Durant. Be more creative, PLEASE!

[crazyasianskills]

Jarantula anyone?

[bchez03]

I see a wayyyy more polished Raymar Morgan

[richkid2311]

Lol only 22 and people are already expecting the next KD. This kid can ball though he's so unique/versatile i can't come up with a good comparison. More polished version of Jereme Richmond maybe....

[vegeta090]

0:45 travel

[AfghaniBaller]

how do u get her

[2221alex]

carmelo with better passing skills at the best

[jessedwilliams11]

Jabari, be a Cougar.

[ohhroach]

very legit. sick piano beat btw

[whitejones33]

jabari is a player no doubt about it! jabari, BYU loves you! go cougars

[yojoeflow]

it's easy to be a fan of this guys game

[ThaKillaMan11]

@Dalit5 i kno there isnt a way to defend it because you dont kno which way he's gonna go

[Zipdog9]

Grant Hill

[burlingtone]

@Dalit5 ture yea he really does spend a lot time in the gym cuz very few people make it to the nba that's why some people but all thier time in the gym and speicaly in one day he's something great

[ThaKillaMan11]

0:27 he did dat myck kabongo crossover/stutter step/hesitation.... works every time

[shaqkobesteve]

thumbs up for jabari parker vs shabazz muhammed

[TREzyGetPuzze]

Why does his nose look different every vid

[23TDJ]

I don't know, I would say he has more of a Carmelo Anthony. Both our 6'8, around 225 pounds, both can shoot really good, and have size to post people up. But, it's hard to say right now he's only a junior

[23TDJ]

@tahura1989 he plays for the Chicago's very own Simeon and he plays on Chicago's Mac Irvin Fire and Ferrari for AAU

[8hanky8]

Looks icemanish

[burlingtone]

@Dalit5 it was just a jab step come down and yea a smaller kd with better handle

[MichiganPrepStars]

Good work, Ty. Lotto pick right here.

[originalg00kster]

This guy is really nice. Wish I could play like him.

[BourneStarTV]

this kid is nice

[Gman1522]

defense fail at :26

[sk8terboijb]

@Dalit5

a hesitation? at 1:24.. not that hard to do lol

[HomeMadeKing2k11]

Jump shot-Kevin Durant

Crossover- kevin Durant

pull up- Kevin Durant

they both play alike

[richkid2311]

@HomeMadeKing2k11  He's not close to the shooter KD is. the only similarity i see is that they're both skinny.

[G1aVoL]

nice beat



[shaigy23]

he used the right to left hesitation a lot in this video. imma try that next time lol.

[iMasterDebate]

Another Simeon allstar comming through?

[1usmcdawg]

More like a young Grant Hill IMO than KD.

[kwamaster]

his game is way more melo than KD...if you must compare NBA all stars to high school kids

[jerseymade16]

come on justin.... 0:23 smdh

[722282]

Definitely more like Kevin Durant.

[AFA727UNC]

the dudes face at 0:23...

[iBowser100]

kid got WAAYYY better from the 09-10 season

[MarangellysLuna]

next lebron.

[1227weaverb]

@MarangellysLuna not as explosive but he could be skillwise

[jaredtodd1]

Heard Grant Hill, but better.

[blackricktheruler]

This kid's skill set is so good it's almost scary when you think about the fact that he's gonna be a sopkmore.....in HS!Sheesh!

[LilSpank301]

@blackricktheruler He Finna B A Junior

[blackricktheruler]

@LilSpank301 Thanks,i spelt sophmore wrong anyway,lls.

[mybasketballworld40]
