Watch This 7’1” High School Baller Break The Ankles And Dreams Of A Defender With A Dirty Crossover


It’s not a sick nasty crossover without a severe crowd-overreaction. When audience members start holding people back who had no intention of going anywhere in the first place, you know it’s for real.

And it’s goddamn impressive that the dude’s 7’1”. His name is Thon Maker, he’s ESPN’s #1 junior recruit in the nation from Carlisle School in Martinsville, Virginia. His size, coupled with his tight handle and soft shooting stroke have scouts comparing him to Kevin Durant. According to MaxPreps, he has averaged 22.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game in his first two years of school.

As far as the other dude, he burned his shoes after the game and vowed to never step into a gym again.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
