[BYUALLBALL]

BYU will teach you how to be a man, and you and Nick Emery will dominate!

[mdaltonunc]

If youre looking for national championships, come to Carolina!

[jcalderwood11]

Mormon dude too.

[ChelseaFC4life24]

Half Black Half Tongan, no wonder why he is so athletically gifted

[michaelcadena5]

@YakyuBoy idk simeon is always Bern givin state champs, but I like Whitney Youngs 2014 class, 2 top 25 players

[michaelcadena5]

Next melo, but with better passing skills

[rocknroll4ever7]

[dpg199999]

UNC or Duke

[CreatorViewer]

This is the black teenage Dirk!!!!

[gokingsgo20]

[cureloms]

AND he's got a jumpshot?!  wow

[letsgobulls1997]

Neither is simeon

[letsgobulls1997]

This shit old he aint neva average best believe tht

[michiganftbl128]

Michigan State is the best school for him. GO GREEN

[baconman72]

You'll be LOVED IN THE VILLE, GO CARDS111

[rjkennedy98]

Coach K compared him to Kobe. You know he wants him at Duke!

[23TDJ]

@thedjnohomo he can dunk even as freshman and especially now as a junior

[thedjnohomo]

he cant dunk?

[masterlegend10]

@thedjnohomo he can

[YakyuBoy]

Simeon weak as hell, it's all about that Whitney Young.

[1drosefan]

@YakyuBoy whitney young aint shit and it never was, shut the fuck up faget

[klasicktha1]

this kid is average

[2TruBlueDevils]

dukeeee

[Gman1522]

Jabari got way better since his freshmen year. This video shows nothing of what he can do now. Much quicker and athletic, He's really setting himself up for success..

[69loomis]

he's no derrick rose that's for sure

[kosibh38]

if hes smart hes kentucky bound

[HuRR1CaNeS324]

Fuck Chicago, bunch of pussies...

[neoballer6]

UW. DAWGS

[23TDJ]

@mrjonsey I would actually say Paul Pierce, but he lost a lot of weight and he's more athletic and faster, so I'm not exactly sure right now

[dgarnett23]

come to kentucky

[ram541977]

Please come to BYU!!!!

[jesuitmarauder1996]

duke. great academics and a great program. why not duke?

[3511ish]

GO to BYU Jabari!!! Jimmer didn't go in with nearly the amount of talent you have but Dave Rose gave him the go ahead to be great and become a TOP TEN NBA draft pick, consensus national player of the year, ESPY male college athlete award. BYU w/Dave Rose + You, Jabari Parker = NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR AND TOP 5 NBA DRAFT PICK!!!

[ctwm2004]

jabari if you are out there...come to BYU man! Nobody wants you more and nowhere else will you be a bigger star or get more support or dominate more! If you must...duke would be cool too...but you would be king at byu. The marriott center is bigger than all these other schools arenas....imagine the place packed for your first game bro! 23000 strong!

[rjkennedy98]

coach k compared him to kobe

[mrjonsey]

@rjkennedy98 I see a Kobe like jumpshot, but he doesnt attack the rim like Kobe did. Id say hes more Tracy McGrady than Kobe.

[cougarkid16]

byu

[thebestballer32]

hey check out jake blum

[bballwizard02]

if he get in shapeand work on his athleticism, he'll be way better in my opinion, but dont missunderstandme is already an exelent player

[pn2295]

He makes the crab dribble/hop step to the hoop seem so easy.

[redman6]

Parker would look great in Green and White, imagine him and Thomas Hamilton in the post doing damage in the Big Ten and in the Final Four.

[blackricktheruler]

Scout.com just named him the #1 player in 2013.Nice come up for the kid.

[nyskillshooter]

ill take aquille carr over him any day

[LoganDuty]

Im pretty sure he could blend in with anybodies style. It doesnt just have to be a "Duke" style. I think he'd be better fit for Kentucky than at Duke

[diviasee1]

Looks like a duke type of player to me, great shot and fundamental skill set, would blend right in with their style.

[wschort]

Saw him play this past season at Batavia night of Hoops event. will probably play them within the next 2 years. preparing to get rocked but all in good fun

[jchogue5291]

i just got a picture of tommy hamilton and jabari parker in my mind, and then puked a little bit in my mouth.

[jchogue5291]

i just got a picture of tommy hamilton and jabari parker in my mind, and then puked a little bit in my mouth.

[Bossrah]

Reminds me of Pierce

[ygeekz]

@Bossrah exactly great comparison neither one of them has great leaping ability:

[danpon1]

@ygeekz If you all saw Jabari this AAU season you would not be knocking his "leaping ability" ... he had some of the sickest dunks of the weekend at Spiece Run N Slam this weekend, and has been dunking on dudes all over the AAU circuit now that he has grown into his body and cut off the baby fat

[cooltaylor1]

fuck this nigga its a guy at proviso west named taylor watkins and he is way better than jabari parker and has a better IQ for the game

[maaaarg]

im from hawaii but i know this dude.. yall dont know but hes half tongan..polynesian.

[unlvrebelx]

@maaaarg I knew Jabari half Tongan.....ALSO, I bet most don't know something else about him, he's Mormon. His older brother went on a Mormon mission and then played (may still be there) at one of the better Jucos in the country, College of Southern Idaho.

[maaaarg]

im from hawaii but i know this dude.. yall dont know but hes half tongan..polynesian

[illinifanatic1]

I-L-L-I-N-I!!!

the Illini need Parker

[MxBLaZ3]

@illinifanatic1 Hell yea thatd be tight He has an offer to them , but 9 other big name colleges also including Kentucky , Ohio State , Kansas , Duke , and North Carolina

[NadolskiP]

to bad that simeon has lost 2 straight and is not 1st in state anymore hahahaha

[MrDchen]

i get why he's so highly recruited. hes an amazing passer and a winner. he doesnt need flashy dunks and individual stats to prove thats hes good

[Ekilla9402]

He has great vision considering he projects as a big man. This is evolution of basketball right here.

[KRscout]

@IllinoisBoy39th this kid would be a star anywhere, DUKE even knows it 2 years before he's a Senior

[illinifanatic1]

@KRscout

I think he knows Parker would be a star anywhere. ILLINOIS has known he would be a star for years and he would be a legend in his home state. He could bring the illini our first championship and sounds like an excellent young man to boot.

[IllinoisBoy39th]

this kid would be a star at illinois and he would help them win a national championship.

[BaylorSports]

Hope he comes to play for Scott Drew and Baylor!!!

[liger4100]

Thumbs up for Yahoo!. Lol...

[azodyze]

HE REMINDS ME OF TIM DUNCAN BUT WITH MAD PASSING ABILITY

[dwhitebud]

JABARI! I hope you are seeing Jimmer balling. Come to BYU! Dave Rose will turn you into a star!

[REXAKAMOOSE]

@dwhitebud before he goes there he should read up on the mormon churches history with minorities... go the the dub!

[halfhoosierhein]

@REXAKAMOOSE He IS mormon. So he probly knows.

[Douglasluk]

next illini best player. come to illinois

[Douglasluk]

illini

[KRscout]

@Chozo51 hey how bout you guys quit hatin' on my brother Jabari and work on your game and maybe this might just happen

[jimmy93212]

this kid and simeon absolutely routed my school in the 4A playoffs last year. He's the real deal. watch out for him.

[tesch27]

would look really good in orange and blue playing alongside his boy Mike Shaw...

[rjkennedy98]

wow very very impressive build and skill set. I hear Coach K wants to coach him. and  he's the best. come to Duke

[kslough3]

looks like a paul pierce type player

[james0houston]

there are 1000 others boys out here his age and size that i seen and this isnt impressive at all as far as his killer instinct goes attack the basket big man thats what your out there for

[melrodas]

Jabari kinda reminds me of lamar odem

[Deuzday]

you can throw out all lists from freshman players. btw he visited UK this weekend.

[nmullins20]

@Deuzday He probably came out a few thousand dollars richer from that visit

[rslawinski33]

Man DP you hype up your chicago kids more than anybody else

[scottgower]

Jabari, please go to BYU!!!

[supertankification]

@scottgower AMEN TO THAT!!!

[ymmij2k8]

I thought I read his early Top 5 is Michigan St, G-Town, Illinois, Kansas, and Udub. I've read Washington Coach Lorenzo Romar has a very good relationship with his dad Sonny, they were best friends when they played together with Golden State.

[ACDC392333]

Got an MSU offer recently. He should take it, his style is perfect for Tom Izzos system. Need proof Jabari? Look at Jason Richardson, Morris Peterson, Shannon Brown and Durrell Summers: Explosive, good shooters, good rebounders.

[eue84]

Some people hear are trippen, you don't have to go up hard as long as you get it in, who said you have to dunk... not something you have to do.. the dude is smooth and has excellent court vision, not sure what position he will play at the next level yet because hes not done growing, but the kid is nice... I would tell him to come to Purdue but it doesn't seem like his style fits yet, we will see in a couple of yrs..

[milky5star]

Nawl io thank he's da next chosen one from chicago, he has no left hand, he 6'6 aint even dunk once wen he goes up it luks like he goes up weak

[OozyEscobar]

Rodney is wayy bette

[iBowser100]

whats da name of this man?! its ill......

[CSMITHFLYGUY]

Melo



[Ko3dB1tch3s]

he has no hops. and what aau team does he play for?

[mdtm16]

he can't dunk

[Chozo51]

Hes 6'6 and he doesn't dunk ONCE in this mixtape. If I was 6'6 I could do eastbays blindfolded.

[farragut22]

@Chozo51 

[farragut22]

@farragut22 Jabari's game is more finesse simular to Paul Peirce.Dunking is not his game. He has been dunking since 7th grade. His game is passing,shooting,skills,and not all about athleticism.

[danpon1]

@Chozo51 Ya i bet if you were 6'6 you'd win an Illinois Class 4A state championship too hahaha

[dakidd2cold]

@danpon1 i see u clownin lol go cards !!!

[KRscout]

@danpon1 exactly right

[bkade332]

@danpon1 to whitney young haha, jabari is something else leading the nationally 5th ranked wolverines this year, repeat state champs for sure, no one can beat this team

[ChiNigATL]

@Chozo51 I officiated in the Nike FSA Summer League and had 3 of his games. His legs must not have been all that strong during the season or something...He put it down on 3 kids from Orr one game..Had a few dunks in the others. He's a baby so that mental aggression may not be there yet..he's a helluva player and a great kid.

[niKeSpArQ03]

@Chozo51 i bet if you were 6'10 you wouldnt even have a quarter of the talent this kid has and you wouldnt be one of the most hyped kids at that age. you obviously dont know the game of basketball a bucket is a bucket just cause you dont dunk it doesnt mean your not good. you gotta stop watching team flight brothers and get to know the game of basketball

[antfromdetroit]

@Chozo51 Dunking is often over rated. When a player dunks too much it's usually because the competition is lacking or they are simply more athletic than them. Once at the next level, those same kids you see dunking all the time have trouble because everyone is more athletic and competition is better. This highlight really shows of his basketball IQ (finding the open man) and touch (soft floaters and baby hooks). I didn't see one forced shot, therefore I'd take him on my team.

[upinya25]

@Chozo51 when they raise the point value of a dunk i'll give a shit

[balberty9]

@Chozo51 ask Vince Carter how many rings dunks have won him, then go ask the same question to Paul Pierce.....

[RocktoRock317]

@Chozo51 He is a freshmen in this video. Did you not see how fundamentally sound he is for a player that young? It doesnt matter how many dunks he has, especially in a mixtape. He is one of the best high school underclassmen and he is winning state championships while playing some of the nation's best competition in Chicago. So why dont you stop hating and watch the kid's game progress.

[bullsbabii12]

@Chozo51 Dunking doesn't make you good. He obviously has other talents, plus he's only a sophomore.

[dacheatisgrounded]

@Chozo51 All other things being equal, I'd rather have a skilled player who can handle the ball, shoot, and pass like Parker as opposed to a raw athlete who isn't effective outside of 8 feet.

Anyways, hope he comes to Baylor. We could use a player like him.

[greatwytehyte]

@Chozo51 Im pretty sure basketball isnt all about dunking faggot,

[onn1320]

@Chozo51

Dunks are the fraud skill of highlight reels. - This highlight reel shows true skill. Too many players can dunk and can't dribble, pass, consistently hit bank shots, etc

[SoutHcouGars2010]

@Chozo51 yeah lol look @ Ryan Boatright's vid's he dunks all the time and he's 5'10

[daballplaya32]

@Chozo51 Stfu , I cant stand people like you.. Hes FRESHMAN he has time to develop, and stfu stop cryinq "If i was 6 6 " if yu was 6 6 yu would be a soft ass center, who has no handle, no skill. People work hard to get where they at, unlike you who sits around hatinq on talent. Grow the fuck up

[austinarchibald]

The kid is Mormon. He'll go to BYU and change them forever.

[dlo2icy1]

watever this guy is ok and he only averaged 3 boards a game this is one of the weakest highlight tapes i ever seen

[gwmarc]

jp one of my guys i knew em since kindegarten he is ah best i rememver da 1st time he did a dunk at RAB. He threw his own alley-oop and smashed it

[dietsnapple89]

lol, this is taken at my high school, LT, when Simeon played LT! I knew LT was overrated all season, just needed a legit team to show it, WSC is garbage. Hope this kid goes to Illinois, he's real great.

[Gman1522]

I see him playing more of a power forward posistion because hes big and seems to be quicker than most bigs

[farragut22]

Jabari is a very humble kid never talking about his basketball talent.

[farragut22]

.To all of his teammates and coaches, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support other the years in playing a huge part in his development.

[farragut22]

. He wants to get better by working out more and not playing a lot of games over the summer. Sonny Parker

[farragut22]

Thanks, Dan for highlighting Jabari's basketball skills.

[farragut22]

Thanks Dan

[illinihoops]

Would love for this one to stay home

[VilliamKK]

Damn, come to UW

[Serene2012]

Get out of here with that Duke stuff! Stay home J.Park!

[OTKP]

he remind me of Paul Peirce, he doesn't look extremely athletic or flashy but he is a very skilled player especially for his age

[standuhman]

Duke ! 8)

[ultimatederon]

Complete STUD! I really hope the Illini can get Jabari!

[MrAleking]

Dan Poneman said it best when he linked this video, Jabari has an incredibly advanced and rounded game for his age. The skillset he's developing along with the natural talent makes him one of if not the one to watch in the loaded 2013 class. Hoping he ends up at Illinois if only for a pit stop on his way to the NBA.

[erichci]

Great Job JP! You are a great person as well as a basketball player!

[theindianan]

he did nothing against benet in the super sectional

[OldMcEyeballs]

@theindianan Simeon won the game, and that's how he plays - just out there to get the W, nothing else. The fact he played big minutes for the 4A title team as a freshman - man that says it all.

I think Jabari has crazy potential even though he can't jump at all. He's got the best court awareness and really creates stuff beautifully. He's beyond his years
