Christian Kessee Freshman Game 12-2007 - 31 Points 6 Assists

[MyPlayMakers]

Update: Christian was injured in June and was in a boot cast for 6 weeks so he played b-ball at 70% this summer. He just came off football playoffs a few weeks ago and his timing on the basketball court was a little off. After 4 games he is averaging 17 pts a game. Foul trouble and blowing out a few teams have hurt his scoring a bit, but I think the game will slow down more in a few games and his overall game should go up. He just turned 16 a few months ago and he is starting to grow again.

legacy in colorado right? i go to grandview

[chas0616]

how tall is christian?

[ceculberson]

pretty solid game, all around, nice handles too

[ndnplaya36]

damn hes good. for his age you should compare him to cesar Guerrero. same grade as his...no offence but i think cesar might be better considering the fact that chris is still rly good for his age.

[DMD1533]

this is in 8th grade

[MyPlayMakers]

This video is over a year and a half old. Chris is improving all the time. He is now 15 and is doing well in AAU ball playn 16 and 17U.

[KillaCam850]

yea quit hatin on the kid...his game is nice...tell him to keep it up...

[Gmen10sbchamps]

a lot of you guys are pretty harsh.  this kid is really good.

[maxypooh15]

is he on freshman in this video?

[slam787]

he shoot from chest ugly

[MyPlayMakers]

Not anymore, we changed his shot last May of 2008 and now he shoots from a higher position butr not as good. I made a mistake and did not keep him playing for over three months during football season so his shot went south. I won't do that again.

[l8kercrazy]

How is Chris's defense? lets say he were to guard the fabolous dominic gurule, do you think he would shut him down, i have herd its hard and dominic is unstoppable.

[Luke08Sadler]

wow 143 hes skinny

[MyPlayMakers]

Luke, Chris was 5'9" 132 pounds when this vid was shot last December. He had as much muscle as a chicken...lol. He just cracked 145 this week. He is gaining 1-2 pounds a week right now.

[johnpaulfan]

is this in maine?

[Imboredofschool]

I would guarntee i could shut him down. Look at the defense he was playing agaisnt. No Defense what so ever. Looked like a 2-3 but it wasnt orginized. Kid isnt that great. Hate to say.

[MyPlayMakers]

Imbored, most freshmen teams play mediocre defense so I understand your point. Since this game last year, Chris has improved alot.

He has traveled to three states and played against some good 15-16U teams and plays varsity for spring league. They haven't been able to shut him down, just slow him up.

He has a very good shot past the three point line and it gives teams problems.

I appreciate your post because I use them to let Chris know that he has to keep working hard to earn the respect.

Wat is JV?

[MyPlayMakers]

Junior Varsity...team below Varsity.

[blessednegro032]

if he keeps on shootin like that from his chest

hes gonna swatted in varsity everytime he shoots

[MyPlayMakers]

Good observation blessednegro032! This game is when he just turned 14 and weighed about 129 pounds. He had about as much strength as a poodle...lol. In feb we started weight training and now he shoots his 3's from a higher position. He's also grown to just under 5'11" and weighs 143 pounds. We will keep training and once he turns 15 and matures I will let him lift more weights. By the way I posted video response of chris playn...thanks for the positive feedback!

[cjthefamilyguy]

i mean the kid is alrite but hes playin freshman basketball this isnt impressive at all i can see if he was playin varsity but hes not. still has a looonnnnggggn way to go

[MyPlayMakers]

Chris has grown and improved since this video

last oct. Although he is still 14 yrs old, he has been performing decent on the varsity team

during spring/summer tournys.

[sportsg70]

aLMOST ANY AHLF DECENT KID CAN DO THE AGAINST PALYERSA HIS OWN AGE.....

[MyPlayMakers]

I agree with you, so we just keep training and

doing more drills to get better.

[redflight23]

how many does he average

[timbawolveslyf2]

what school does he go to?

[MyPlayMakers]

Legacy HS. The coaches recently moved him to varsity for the Spring leaque to help his game develope. He has to get used to the speed

and power of the bigger more mature players.

He's still only 14 years old.

He's been holding his own at the point position.

[sunsfan2173]

does he play aau

[MyPlayMakers]

Plays for Dynasty 16U in Las Vegas

[24MakeYouJump]

what was their record this year

[24MakeYouJump]

what was their record this year

[24MakeYouJump]

whats the most he dropped this year? jus wonderin cuz the most i had was 36 this year

[MyPlayMakers]

33 points. The weight training over the next

three years will help you a lot.

[24MakeYouJump]

yeah i got football weightliftin too. but yeah hell be doing it up in varsity soon. good luck to ya boy

[24MakeYouJump]

oh yeah i am HeBallin24

[HeBallin24]

Keep it up cuz..you ballin no doubt. Ima freshman to and I average 21 ppg down here on my team in alamogordo NM

[MyPlayMakers]

Thanks....keep working hard! Chris is playing

tournament with the Varsity team now. First game he was nervous and it showed. Second game he ran the point and did much better. Coach started him in the second half.

He's got a long way to go to get stronger, quicker and more skilled. He does weight lifting four days a week with the football team....dribbling, shooting drills several times a week with me.

He's still only 14 years old, so I think maturity will make a big difference.

[yaboit33]

hez pretty gewd bt i bet he kudnt take me ima a freshmen class of 11 n id put bank roll dat i cud smash hym 15-0 hahaaaa

[dustintlarge]

if this kid is getting 30 points in a freshman game shouldnt he playin at least jv or somethin

[MyPlayMakers]

In July 07 he played 13 games with the JV team at age 13 and did ok. But I think playing on the frosh team was the right thing to do.

On JV he would not have been able to play the point guard position most of the game and develope his ball handling as fast. He was the 2nd tallest player on the frosh team, but was able to grow at the point guard position.

I believe his height will dictate that he plays the 1 or 2 position long term.

He lead the team in scoring and assist.

[desmonlowe]

W/E even if this is Oak Hill these kids must be in area the players you talking about the went to Oak Hill came off athletic Scholarships to the school, well no they don't say there athletic scholarships though my bad. And how tall is this kid like 5'10?!!? Put money on it that dude couldn't come in Indiana, let alone Indianapolis and do this against no grade 9ers. Ben Davis, Warren Central, Lawrence North and Lawrence Central would light tht ass up!!! Good game against some midgets though!!!lol

[aperkins254]

where's the comp though?

[l8kercrazy]

he scored 31 you stupid person!!!!!dats wats good.

[spongeboy666]

hes alright itsnot hard to score when your playing miget ball and by that i mean only gr 9s i had a 20pts 10reb 5blk my first game as a gr 9 but when you playing agisnt gr 10 and 11 its alot harder

[Gbpackrs15]

are u kidding?

oak hill academy is one of the one of the best basketball high school in the nation

u probably cant even play with these kids.

[spongeboy666]

im sorry man i didnt kno that no need to get pissed off

[Gbpackrs15]

Carmelo went to this high school, jerry stackhouse and a bunch of other players

google it

[spongeboy666]

and i wasnt sayin he was bad i just said its easyer to score , but any way i didint kno it was that good of a school

[Gbpackrs15]

i am not pissed

i just thought u were being cocky and arrogant

and it is an amazing school, some current players in the nba got recruited straight from this high school

[spongeboy666]

oh well misunderstanding

[Gbpackrs15]

my bad

[kmmflyers]
