[jasonmotley]

That's nice that you can get your family and friends in on a video project. You got a good circle of people.

[photovideocomic]

DAMN RIGHT IM SHORT AND IM PROUD DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THOSE 6 Foot and OVER PEOPLE WHO THINK THEYRE GODS BUT CANT RUN FOR SHIT.

[DreamOnMeLaaaaa]

i just got cut off for my highschool basketball team... that doesnt make me give up that doesnt make me stop practicing. michael jordan didn't make the team now he's a legend. for the people out there who didn't make a team dont give up

[BronTraveled]

@DreamOnMeLaaaaa He didn't make Varsity his freshman year , he did play JV and averaged like 32 & caught his first dunk.. But regardless, work hard for next year and the future

[johnson12ize]

This video is AWESOME.

[royalblueray]

@mexiCANballerSam24 thanks! almost at 100,000 views!! Oh Yes!

[hoopdreams2g2btru]

this is very great short film i would like to see more from this guy

[budin8]

Que cancion linda. I had to play at position 5 or center with only 6,2 n a half, back in high school. I allways ran more than the other centers and fowards. Being a good athlete is what matters and of course the passion to do anything in live.My other sport which I still do is running.

[Alpeers]

I know the feeling at 15:58 sick... When you feel like every second you spent on the court payed of.. Ofc it's fun to play but the feeling of success is something different!

[PhilLakersKobe24]

@royalblueray Can I just say this is an amazing video.Back in december i tried out for my schools basketballs team and unfortunately i didnt make it but this video allowed me to move on and try out again and go harder.Thank you

[764180sb]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5'5 guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[ozkar1616]

great vid

[JayBreezy86]

@YyJoBb Im a basketball coach! Dont worry about being 6ft tall. When you work hard and make it about your business to be the best at what you do you will see the progress in what you do. My Varsity point guard is 5'7" and he's about to score his 1000 pts. He just put his heart into working hard and its working.

[geomichael1]

At least the coach was fair, our school coach only picked the tall players. man i am 5'9 and ican touch the rim but my school coach is not fair at all.

[PhilLakersKobe24]

this film has been an inspiration to me and right now is when i need the most my final tryout is tomorrow

[ForCeGR]

FIRST SONG ?? AT THE BEGINING !!! I NEED ITT !!

[AllenIversonFan4Life]

Best movie in the 10-30 minute range ever!

[AllenIversonFan4Life]

This is spectacular. Great actors, great moral, and great presentation. I liked this, added it to my favorites, and would've done more if I could. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is truly heartwarming. When he smiled, I smiled, when he was angry, I was angry. Love it!

[boyeks]

nice clip... gives 'lil guyz hope to still play..

[TheLeilisa]

i was short dead short thanks to "Helpo Growth Formula "

im now tall

[BigBallin305]

basketball is always on my mind.. im tryna earn a scholarship to college for basketball and since my AAU team plays some extreme competition sometimes i dont do that hot when the coaches are watching and then i get frustrated and think of what i could have done differently but when i watch this it feels like im rejuvenated and re inspired.. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO, ive watched it at least 10 times

[Tornado1965zd]

Really Inspirational ! 

[Basketballkidnumber1]

Great vid...

For the past 5 games, i averaged 14 at the ymca, and now, i average 20 points per game easy.

Just recently, i got 26 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 8 steals, and 1 blocks. Just gotta keep working hard.

[kentbrrako]

i know how it feels.. damn..

[amazinballer1994]

beautiful i feel the same way and i hope i accomplish the same thing he did and make varsity its all about passion and hardwork and dedication great video

[shubbbbby]

Even the greatest basketball player of all time ,Michael Jordan was 6 foot tall his junior year and was rejected for the high school team and he came back being the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER.He grew 3 inches in 2 months.So the point is:don't lose your hope and faith:)

[Ousvec]

I don't understand only one thing - How can 9 people rated this thumb down!!!

[Jozekkk1]

Fantastic idea for this film !

[Time3to3fly9488]

I can't stop watching this video.

[E20J08M93]

Poor acting but good storyline and clip of A.I

[MrHoopRemix]

@E20J08M93 stfu how are you going to say poor acting atleast they made this video sorry they didnt have millions of dollars to make this video to your expectations

[E20J08M93]

@MrHoopRemix I didn't say I wanted a good background, or showing of different basketball shots, or any of the hollywood shit you see now a days I'm just saying the actors should be more involved with their characters. Making it more believable, they could do this by making the video a bit longer, flashbacks so it can make u think as well as the character as it's suppose to impact billions of people so STFU!!!!! Thinking u know what I'm on about, acting is different to Hollywood background.

[E20J08M93]

@MrHoopRemix So get your facts right because I didn't say nothing about money.

[bornready30]

great video

[inolover5]

He should have played that guy at the start again.

[BLiiNG3]

I am 5'7

[Ousvec]

[h654258h]

@iceman234567 win by brianmcknight

[174HB]

@RyanH4587 well, you have to know your strenght and work at it.. just have the mindset that you are the best player on your team and dont give up, because if you really love basketball and want to work hard you will be better. It will take some time, but you have to be patient

[174HB]

The first 5 games of the season, I average 3 points a game, but thanks to inspiration like this and a lot of hard work, I have average 14 points per game last 5 games, and played some killer lock down defense.. So guys, It's all about hard work...

[jaydee432156]

man. good to hear. im struggling myself. im a junior who didnt quite make varisty, and was promised a starting role and captainship on JV, with the potential of moving up. Now, varsity players come down and take my spot for half of a game, and i average about 3 a game. i've been watching these videos and what not, and decided to get my shit together

[DeebOShines]

i miss thee oldd A.I

[IsaacRobinson12]

Nigga this was a waste of 20 minutes!

[basketballman28]

@IsaacRobinson12 ur a waste of 20 minutes

[YumeNK]

[Solesdepuebla]

[JSk1lz]

2. ATTACK THE RIM! since ur short everyone is gunna go for the block because of ur height theres a 97% chance im gunna get fouled every time i drive

reply to my comments if you agree

[JSk1lz]

height doesn't mean anything if your short such as myself just work on ur handles thro a couple head fakes since ur short an there tall once u thro a head fake what do u think goes thru there head? hmm im guna go for the block because hes obviously shorter than me which means this should be an easy block. once the person jumps show him your speed.

[Riverside4eva]

[hunnit95]

im 13 years and im 5'8 but on my basketball team i suck and i wannted to quit before but when i watched this vid i thought about the old guy. but in my last game i thought forget it i suck but remeberin this i feel i can to it but i still dont know what to do

[dna1101]

keep playing man, your only 13, if you practice for like only an hour a day,everyday, and you practice hard and push yourself beyond ur limits by the time ur 16...you'll be on the team, starter even. Sorry for the late response though. Remember the only one stopping you from getting better is yourself.

[2EMTC5]

i´m 5´3 and 13 years old i´m the smallest on the team and he make me 28 blocks per game and a´m happy

[YourBetterOffAsian]

[nbaanton]

[Hotlava1210]

Whats the name of the song they play when that kid gets stuffed?

[BiggestBowWowFan]

Brian McKnight - Win

[thuglife074]

i am 14 years old and only 5'3, and i went away to the USA Junior National tournament and played against guys who were leke 6'6. Even tho i was one of the shortest, i still got a spot in the starting lineup and did a great job.

[lhscougs44]

heart and determination are better than size and strength anyday. i'm 6'1" and i've always played with heart. i know i'm not the best athlete, but many times your best athletes want to be "all star" or basically play for themselves and not the game. so play with your heart, enjoy the game, and you will win in the end.

[ba11izlife]

very good speech my man

[highflyer2345]

the guy in the knicks shirt look like josh smith

[kingmelo15]

why does the more i approach basketball it seems to go away

[kaederukawa187]

does anyone know how to download a video from youtube?

[tommo090892]

yeh, go to google and download downtube. then you just got to copy the code to download it

good luck

[thatskool101]

this inspired me my game is football cause i got speed and hands and ima try out for the basketball team and i been workin my ass off all summa i hope it pays off i wanna b like rajon rondo

[rabbalaba]

im the shortest one at school, and i always got mobbed because im so short. so what i did was to find a sport for me, cause i sucked at football. and i found basketball, im faster then anyone, this is my game. size doesnt matter.

[zhuxi659585715]

my love

[Tanexatz]

Good^^

[tolbeano1]

guys it doesnt matter how bigger you are, heart beats height! look what A.I played with and look where he is today!

[LEOMiLLiONAiRE]

this my inspiration right here man.. im 5'5.. 16 years old.. 49kg.. i told my friends that im gonna quit basketball but everytime i tell them that im gonna quit they always tell me that dont quit.. they tell me that ive got talent and all that.. but everytime i watch this video.. i fell like i could be this guy in the video.. but im still thinkin twice if im gonna quit or what..

[royalblueray]

LEOMiLLiONAiRE dont give up baby!

[Hawkhunter07]

if you keep thinking about whether you should quit or not.....then maybe u shud quit

[Walker8424431]

don't discourage them man that is not right look at jordan he was going to do the same thing,but did he quit no. I know I will never quit I am 15 and almost 6' ft tall!

[Hawkhunter07]

I don't like discouraging people, but I hate those that try to make everyone feel sorry for them, this LEO guy is saying hes going to quit b ball, but his frds tell them not to quit, but then he watch this video and feel inspired, but he still feels like thinking....FUCK what a shitload of pussy thing he's letting people know on the internet, I'm just saying if he wants to QUIT then quit for good don't be a fking pussy, and if he's going to "not quit" then do it for good, don't be a sissy

[emo1996]

only quitters quit!size dunt matter

[dmack030]

don't quit look at mugsy bogues dude was only 5'3 he played in the NBA and if he could do u can do it and so can I.

[sonofmanchu]

I am only 6 ft but i was a good point guard. i am asian, When I was 16, I was only 5'4". People won't even believe I made it out for school team. I even gave up. I spent all the time to watch AI and his move. I finally made it and Chinese sport academy. I know i am not nba material. But I try my best and being a good basketball fan. That is it. Don't quite no matter what. That is the spirit of a basketball player.

[bballsta41]

i love this video...im 5'9...but i got cut twice from my high school team..even though many people have said i deserved to be on the team cuz of my skilss..i practice 3 hours a day...keep working hard..it'll be all worth it in the end

[joshuaxyooj]

love this video. i'm 5'2" and a senior this year. got 3 other teammates who are pg's too and gotta compete with them for a spot. this video does inspire me to do better. thanks so much.

[NBA133]

some dude did this to me a while back, i was like 5 4 and I wasn't that good, he made fun of me n shit, now im over 6 and got a lot better. I never hated him for it, i loved it, i used it as motivation. now im waiting for the day to play him again.

[the3answer3iverson]

damn same story here

i play center in my original team but guard in the seniors team now and i own that silly guy that laughed me out !!

[bobzilla5]

i hope u shut him out

[asfartass]

vids good

[gokhaveli]

really nice movie!!!

[mageboys15623]

this is my life

[umarjaved001]

Has Allen Iverson himself seen this video.... he'll love it

[Walker8424431]

omg!! im crying

[umarjaved001]

Allen Iverson and Spud Webb are inspitarions for people who think they are toooooo short to play basketball.... Its not just for tall people u know but for all those who play
