The next LeBron?

[JeeberD]

I'm not sure whether to be disgusted or to laugh...

FOFC, meet Mark Walker (http://markwalker.reebok.com/), 3 1/2 year old basetball stud and Reebok endorser...

[GoldenEagle]

I want to be like Mark....

[bbor]

does he wear pampers?

[stkelly52]

Kid makes 18 consecutive shots...I don't think I could do that. Impressive.

[Patman]

Good for him

[stkelly52]

does his makiing ads for Reebok make him ineligable for further amature basketball?

[ISiddiqui]

That's ok, the Wizards will draft him this year ;)

[sachmo71]

Shouldn't the first Lebron become something before we look for the next Lebron?

I'm not sure if you were joking or not, but I'm guessing that if he didn't get paid for the ad then he would retain his eligibility.

Yikes...It's a scary world where we're discussing the eligibilty of a 3 1/2 year old kid...

[JonInMiddleGA]

re: eligibility -- I'm not so sure that this wouldn't violate NCAA rules at least. I'm thinking of those charity calendars & such that seem to get a few players in trouble every year.

The thing is this is not an endorsement deal. If you look carefully this is a contest that allows parents to tell Reebok abouts kids with talent. My guess is this is a contest, with prize money, and legally because of age the money would go to ma and pa.

[JeeberD]

Yeah, but in the picture the kid is all decked out in Reebok gear and on the same page is an add for little kid size shoes. Looks like he's hawking Reeboks to me...

[B & B]

The last clip ends with him saying... ."I am Reebok"

Sheesh.

[rexallllsc]

He'll be fine as far as eligibility goes. Dejuan Wagner, Rashad Carruth, and Jason Kapono had Puma TV ads when they were in HS...

What I want to know is...is any of that footage staged? Computer animation?

[tucker342]

That's pretty messed up...

[Ragone]

Not to be a conspiracy theorist.. but the last 3 shots he takes you don't see go in.. so in reality.. at best.. its 15 straight :)

In fact he does wear pampers. They are the new line that has the Nike symbol on them.

Yeah, the clip about his favorite things was so scripted. His favorite player just happens to be a Reeboks wearer (Iverson), he says he is good because of his "God given talent" (how many three years old talk like that?), he says himself that he's the future of basketball and then says "I am Reebok."

He's a cute kid, but the site kinda disgusts me...

Ya, and then rip him in the media for not producing to expectations before he is 6.

Oh wait, MJ's not on that team anymore. OK, then they'll trade him at 8 and he'll go on to dominate the league for 25 years with another team.

Sad....

[Happy29]

Lemme guess, he'll forgo Elementary School to go to the NBA. Many experts baffled.

[Subby]

Three-and-a-half year olds are usually potty-trained and wear big boy underwear by that point...

[JeeberD]

There is one video of him shooting in diapers, but he was only 21 months at the time...
