  • worst level in NBA on history...this player is a bad player...And Bowut????Longley was better!!!where is Olajuwon?Ewing?Robinson?Duncan­?Garnett?(olders)Shaq,Barkley,­Malone big man with quality power forwards and center with quality...only dunkers now and fat players, Howard is a joke don´t have quality, griffin and others only dunks, only Kevin Love and Pau gasol have real quality.Worst level in big mans.

  • Aboridzin ima da jede malu decu...

  • New Gravedigger!!!!!!!!

  • dobar je mamicu mu

    jos kad zaigra za nas ima da razbija

    :P

    

  • Welcome to Partizan Nathan,we will make you the best welcome in your life on your first euorleague game in Belgrade.

  • Stoka stoci = Welcome to PARTIZAN !!!

    Nathan you found a real club for yourself - with GraveDiggers this year you will fuck very brutal all along Europe dude!!! Enjoy!!!

  • @AlwaysAndForeverPFC stoka stoci hahahaha xD ala ce ovaj da lomi kosti

  • officialy announced :) Nathan Jawai is new member of BC Partizan Belgrade....

    Slavice se titula :)))))))))))))))))))

  • BC Partizan might get him for next season (Still not Officialy Announced).

  • Great video. Let's hope the Mavs actually give him a chance. They need a backup to Dampier. Hopefully he'll get a shot to prove that he can do what's in this video at an NBA level.

  • shame toronta are too retarted to know how to use him.. i hate the raptors

  • he's out of shape to play, that's why they sent him down to D-league.

    learn your facts first.

  • dnt care enough to find out the facts

  • OR Toronto is stupid like nflizsoft6 said. Him being out of shape has nothing to do with him not getting minutes in a basketball game. If he was that out of shape he wouldn't be playing. But I'm happy because my Mavs got him and I'm pretty sure we know how to use him.

  • dont want to ruin your party but "aussie shaq" has no future in the nba

  • i already know that,mabe patty mills can be good if he gets given a fair go.

  • yeah, but too bad he broke his leg? or ankle

  • yeah,meh aussie will never have a lebron or kobe so i dont let it get me down,just happy were good at soccer,rugby and rugby league.

  • yay! hes cleared to play but since hes left the nbl the whole leuge has classped slingers:gone bullets:gone kings:gone spirit:broke taipans:broke all gunna go under this year good luck for jawai

  • You need to learn how to punctuate.

  • oh scotty scotty scotty... I don't think therell be a next year for the snakes. Chatted to a senior player and well be lucky to play out this season. Bloody devastated

  • hey mate

    i was at the game last night vs blaze

    taipans are $42,000 out of debt...

    so there is a good chance we will have a team next season =)

  • $42, 000?? We required 100 pledges of $5000 and got 140 pledges, do the math, were $200, 000 out of debt.

    Nonetheless the money i contributed to that syndicate doesnt mean we're in next season, we still need to be approved by the nbl and to them we are 2nd class citizens.

    I'm praying snakes will be back but will be treating this saturday vs. dragons to be their final game ever

  • we would have Chris bosh - 6' 10"

    Jermaine O'neal - 6' 11"

    Andrea Bargnani - 7'

    and Nathan Jawai - 6' 10"

    the Raptors, who are already HUGE, will be a formidable challenge for most teams.

  • yeah cause we're doing so well this season

    13-20

    Dang we goood

  • im a massive taipans fan and we suck this year so plz come back jawai!!

  • He's supposed to be playing for my team the Toronto Raptors, but apparently they found that he had a heart problem. As much as i REALLY want him to play this season, I'm happy they found out the heart problem, I would hate it if he died on the court like Miklos Fehrer did while playing soccer. I do hope they can figure out whats wrong with him and hopefully fix it and get him up and running. We REALLY need a player like him, with him we would be unstoppable.

  • he's cleared

  • Im just wondering how good was this guy in australia, speak the truth haha and do you think he is going to be good in th enba in the future

  • not bad.. 17.5 ppg, 9.8 rpg, .9 bpg, got 9 off rebs last season, allstar mvp.

  • He's big, will probably play big too down the low post but he's lacking basketball IQ big time and has got a lot more to work on in his footwork.

  • keep in mind, he only started playing basketball when he was like 17 : / so for 5 or so years of experience, hes definitely come along way being rookie of the league in australia averaging nearly 20 - 10

  • what is the first song called?

  • Sounds Like "Little weapon" by Lupe Fiasco..Nice vid. J.O. an CB4 got back up!

  • Nathan is injured... Raps added another bigman, Jamal Sampson, a 6'11" C/F....

  • It's a heart condition he's had for years that's acting up, he'll be fine.

  • He's nice, good post moves and footwork, he could become a very good player, he's only 21, BTW he has better free throw shots than shaq.

  • Just heard Nate is being held out of practice after some pre-training camp cardiac testing. I really hope it is nothing serious for the sake of the Raps and more importantly, for Jawai himself. Wishing you the best from Aus mate. I hope he is the first 5 off the bench for the Raps. For someone so powerful, he is really light on his feet. His style of play will compliment CB4 and Bargnani when they play at the 4 alongside him as they both play more of an outside offensive game.

  • Jawai plays pretty good. He's a sureball at the post! I think he's really an excellent acquisition by Colangelo! Here's my prediction for the raptor roster:

    1ST 5

    C-J.O., PF-CB4, SF-BARGNANI, SG-PARKER, PG-CALDERON

    2ND UNIT

    C-JAWAI, PF-MOON, SF-KAPONO, SG-ADAMS, PG-UKIC

    RF/G-GRAHAM, RF/G-SOLOMON, RF/C-HUMPRIES

  • bargnani is not a sf and moon is not a pf. and bargnani is not starting

  • reminds me of Kendrick Perkins

  • people should stop calling him "assie shaq". jawai himself stated that he doesnt like the nickname. he has a lot of respect for shaq and doesn't like the idea of being compared to him when hes nowhere near his level. he finds it offensive and unnecessary

    i personally agree and i think he'd rather be known as nathan jawai than assue shaq imitator..

  • hes so much more like jermaine oneal than shaquille oneal

  • he is pretty light on his feet for a big guy

  • If he has a higher basketball IQ than Humphries, he's going to be amazing.

    Soft hands and great footwork. I like this guy already.

  • I see Jawai and Bargnani backing up O'neal and Bosh. I think Jawai might be the steal of the draft... the second round anyway.

  • lets hope he ends up like monta ellis he was drafted 40 overall and look at him now

  • wow 79000 views for 2nd round pick

  • good now we got a guy that could fill humphries position, cause humphries is shit, and now we got an athletic pf

  • nigga plz, i played against this cat. he 6'10, got a fuckin 7'6 arm span!! and jumps out the mother fuckin building. he gonna get it done where ever he plays.

  • Just read a news article about how American scouts are now viewing Australia as the next great recruiting destination- particularly colleges.

  • what a great player for the raptors

  • raptors needed a young big man and now we are loaded with bigs. bosh, bargs, jo, hump and now jawai.

  • the name of the song ?

  • little weapon - lupe fiasco

  • thanks

  • This guy is going to be the next adonal foyle, the lift of his shot is so low every nba big man will swat that stuff,He is dominating the euros because they are all jumpshooter and weak post players.

  • He seems pretty underrated by the draft. I think that he has potential to develop into a stronger more aggressive player. He just needs to develop more inside presence, improve his fundamental skills in the post, and put a little more development his shooting technique (it's not top notch but Kapono will help improve his shooting game). He also needs to lose some mass and add a little more lean muscle. He'll be able to contribute for the team, although he wont get a lot of playing time.

  • yeah the free throw highlights are to show that not every faucet of his game is like Shaq's lol

  • kamehweh! nathan jawai mekeh ol dem blacks ya weh Australia proud. em e puss indeginous mon ya 4 join NBA. em go be millionare you wuss!

  • did they really show free throw highlights? haha never seen that before.

  • this guys gonna be a solid NBA Center I think good size and moves. He will deffinitley help The Raps

  • If you think about it.. He wouldn't be that great of center . He's what? 6'9 avragely good height for a PF or SF.

  • hes 6'10 280 pounds

  • He would be a way better power foward.

  • hes not getting any minutes if hes gonna play that position

  • But Jermaine and Chris are going to play C and PF.. So he isnt going to get much time there.. If you watch an interview with Golden State he says that they had him doing guard workouts and for SF because they want him to be versitile

  • hes a rookie, young and has some weigh to lose imo. for his experience, it'd be better for him not to start anyway. the best way to nurture a young guys career is to surrond him by the best and let him feed off that energy. you'll see him explode into a great player couple seasons after, whether with the raps or not

  • he's what rafael aruojo was supposed to be.

  • hes a good addition to the raps becasue we need a person to get rebounds, hes not great but hes good for teh raps. HE is wat the raps need right now

  • i thout that was jermaine Oneal?

  • raptors gonna sign him to a 2 year contract today!! Good Luck Nathan

  • Just announced eight minutes ago!

  • are u a retard. they didn't resign him moron!

  • PLEASE play him in the NBA fellas - he will develop so much faster there than in the NBL

  • Is it just me? Or does he not seem as big as everyone's been saying. Definitely good size but not huge.

  • He was the biggest guy drafted in terms of weight. His agility makes his size hard to comprehend.

  • Little Weapon

    Lupe Fiasco

  • what song is this

  • JAWAI, hassan addams, alabama moon, roko, jermaine o'neal, chris B finally playing pf instead of C, a few other trades will sure happen(magette?)..Watch out for us NBA

  • oh man this the bench on Toronto will be so damn good with him and Ukic, Moon, possibly delfino and Andre omg and the starters Jermaine, Bosh, Calderon, Parker and Kapono

    Wow Toronto really are contenders

  • Delfino isn't coming back.

  • why?

  • Toronto doesn't have enough cap space to re-sign him unless Delfino is willing to take a paycut. Also Doug Smith said Delfino isn't coming back.

    Besides, some Euro ball team offer Delfino a lot of money to play for them. So don't be surprise if Delfino ends up in Europe next season.

  • Doug smith said he is gone, well then its gotta be true...gimma a bread

  • I don't have any bread. And Delfino isn't coming back. The Raptors are inches away from the luxury tax realm, and MLSE will not spend any more money.

  • MLSE Sucks ass. They are so cheap. heck, look at most of the good teams, they are over the limit. You cant win, if you're not over the limit. They cant even sign a good player for TFC. I think the highest paid athelete is making 1 mil or someting.

  • While yes, MLSE is cheap, you cant just throw money at a franchise and expect them to win (look at the knicks lolol). Given the circumstances BC is doing an amazing job by most standards.

  • The problem with MLSE is that they are an investment group that is more worried about making money then they are about making championship teams. All their teams are niche Canadian teams that garner support of the entire nation regardless of whether they win or lose.

  • delfino is already signed back to toronto brownman8

  • Toronto signed his qualifying sheet. So this means if a team signs Delfino, then the Raptors have 15 days to match the offer or let him go.

  • no dude tor got adams and chuckfino prob go to spurs

  • not they didnt.. what are u talking about.. raps dont have the money to sign delfino.. they just did the offer sheet

  • man carlos is back on the raps dude check the roster and transactions... san antonio is htinking about trying to get him but they probally wont since raps already made a big move... i dont like carlos i was hoping they would get rid of him :( but they never

  • ur an idiot.. they didnt resign him

  • another typical delusional torontonian. haven't we thought we were contenders for 3 straight years already?

  • No , and last year was upsetting with injuries right?

  • Jawai will end up on the starting line up and be the next Moon! If that happens Colangelo is pure genius.

  • NbA scouts don't know that the aussie league is superior to the ncaa most of the time. The UNLV team lost to a second tier team the other day in Sydney. Jawai's numbers translate to 20, 10 in the ncaa. I predict he will be superior to Hibbert, the guy he was traded for.

  • ive met nathan before and hes a really nice guy

    he will be great in the nba

    NO DOUBT

  • unlike shaq he can shot free throws

  • Lupe Fiasco - Little Weapon

    Pharoah Monch - Terrordome

    Jay Z - Roc Boys

  • we need a new coach who will give playing time to toughnosed rebounders like Humphries and Jawai.

    Jermaine is a gamble at this point.. hope he go goes back to a healthy 20-10 guy. I think the Gerald Wallace trade made more sense.

    GREAT music choices.

  • Gerald Wallace has never played a healthy seasson and hes coming off a concusion so he is wayy more of a gamble plus they already got a player like him in Jamrio Moon. Moon plays the same game Wallace does so it would make no sense in that deal

  • With Oneal, Bosh, Bargani and even Humphrey.. i doubt we'll see this guy much (besides the "garbage" minutes)

    Hopefull with time he'll be a good contributer off the bench like Corliss williamson was with his post game.

  • His agent said that he'll be on the Raptors this season. We could defintely use him considering how soft we are.

  • this man is a beast but the raps are gonna keep him overseas for a couple more years so that he can get ready for the nba. i think once he hits the nba though, he should stay in the low post because with o'neal toronto has enough big men who shoot.

  • Welcome to the raps

  • Solid pickup for what was the softest team in the NBA. The Raptors finally got the message and brought in some bangers with J.Oneal and this beast of a man. They already got a star PF, a good point guard, and the best shooters in the game. Still need that scoring wing though to vault them into contenders.

  • Whats the name of jay-z's song at the end?

  • 4:03... ouch...

  • jermaine oneil and him oh shit T.O is gonna be the shit nevt season... and we have bosh and colderon and moon is more developed as a player this year

  • Oh boy, welcome to the Toronto Raptors! Getting out the salami and cheese mamma

  • Welcome to Canada Nathan!!!

  • the song says jawai in the beginning :o

  • Lupe Fiasco - Little Weapon

  • the artist of the song is Lupe Fiasco

  • Drafted by Indiana no. 41 pick. He might be traded to the Raptors.

  • i see this as a guy who can come in to toronto and contribute right away this is great this is like rasho times 2 now its time to move humphries and joey....raps should try to get there hands on chris douglas roberts if possible

  • Shall be nice to see him play in the NBA in a few seasons.

  • 41-41 plus a 1st round series loss is not above .500. Almost, but not quite.

  • sweeeeeet comment your a COL

  • anyone think raps gonna get above .500 next year?

  • Raps were already above .500 the past 2 seasons. They may even make it as far as the ECF next season.

  • Yeah we got JO bro. TDOT for life.

  • Sick Pick I'm still awestruck on how that worked out

  • Welcome to the big leagues, big guy!

  • its time to go buy a Toronto Raps Jawai jersey bitchs!

  • great song choices. hope you're right about the 7-5 wingspan

  • I've known him for a bit and its true, he's a monster.

  • once again BRYAN comes up big

  • Dynasty in Toronto!

  • welcome to Toronto X 2

    COLANGELO FOR PM

  • Raps needed a beast, no more soft fags. Hopefully he turns out to be real good, I'm sure he's already better at rebounding than Bustnani.

  • YES..welcome to TO.

  • He would be a steal for the Celtics.

  • good call

  • Thanks.

  • He will be a good player,he has nice skills and plays tough,needs experience.Sonics or the Jazz probably will go after him. Number 15 for the Suns is probably too early for him. He could fall to the Grizzlies at 28 or to 29 when the Pistons pick.There is an outside chance that the Rockets might take him at 25.I feel Serge Ibeka is taller,and more athletic but Nathan is more skilled and should go higher than him.

  • like a nice perkins

  • Very good highlight mix, love the songs too.

    Especially the one around 3:30 for those that want to know its

    Welcome to the Terrordome - by Pharoahe Monch

  • jazz will pick him or hibbert... personally i think this guy is tougher but hibbert is more talented

  • This guy does not play at all like shaq. I would compare him more to hakeem olajuwon because he can actually shoot unlike shaq! All shaq had was the body to over power everyone.

  • I am very hopeful that twat Kerr has looked at him he should be drafted by the Suns. What an awesome line up that would be Shaq on his way out and teaching Jawai everything with exception of how not to shoot free throws. Suns need to add some more D and this monster should be added. Shaq Amare Diaw / Hill Bell and Nash start with Jawai Barbosa and co off the bench. The amount that he could learn from Amare as well wow how much could he improve those guys to learn from

  • Boy he'll sure look good in a Piston uniform come next. Joe D surely can't pass up a post presence like Jawai late in the first.

  • NBA all the way! they not gonna know what hit 'em when Jawai's in da house!

  • with the first pick of 2008 NBA Draft...the Chicago Bulls select Nathan Jawai!......i here booooos! ha ha!............syke..michael beasley! thats better!

  • i think the thing aussies like most about jawai is that he never passes up an opportunity to dunk the ball, unlike most players in the nbl who never pass up an opportunity to shoot the jumper or lay in the open fast break, which is so boring to watch. NBL need more dunks!

  • spot on bro

  • First round pick...

  • Do people actually call him "Baby Shaq"? That's an insult - to Nathan Jawai. He has much better hands and shooting touch than Shaq.

  • Better hands than Shaq? Ur an idiot.

  • hesss sooooooo DIRTYYYYY

  • why would u put free throws as his highlights

  • sick foul shot bro!

  • LOL!

  • who does nathan jawai play for ???

  • Cairns Taipans

    GO BULLETS!

  • Lakers 2nd round pick 2008

  • Now the Raptors should draft this guy. hes like a Jason maxiell type of player which we are lacking of. RAPTORS ARE YOU SCOUTING THIS GUY OR ARE YOU IN EUROPE DRAFTING YET ANOTHER EURO SHOOTER?

  • Yeah the Raps are actually scouting Jawai....much to my dismay lol.

  • Nice prediction ;)

  • damn man you should be scouting for the raps!!

  • I know, BRYAN HIRE ME!!!

  • arghhh he's a monster

  • WHAT are the names of the 3 songs ???

  • Song is ''Little Weapon'' by Lupe Fiasco

  • he is going to the NBA next season very good talent

  • big dot! yeeoww!

  • whats the name of this song?

  • draftta iyi yerden seçilir

  • post game is still a bit raw. Needs to learn a couple more moves down low. He almost always backs down his man and then goes right. Still, hes got potential.

  • props on the song

  • Knicks are looking at him.
