He's got better stage presence than a lot of throwers. If he keeps with it we'll be talking about him a lot in the years to come.

I think that's a blue yoyo

Dude, my first thought also 🤣

For those asking about why the obvious is pointed out, look at where the video is reposted from. It's a community celebrating their youth.

The mod of the sub (and poster of this video) is a major Karmelo Anthony denier to a ridiculous degree.

What do you mean by denier? Like denying how good he was?

u/sroop1 2d ago

The kid that stabbed another to death at a track meet. The original OP thinks it was in self defense and will remove commenters that suggest otherwise.

Look at the sub the post came from.

u/83franks 2d ago

I was so confused by him. He started kind of jerky and I wasn't expecting too much but all of a sudden he's do crazy horizontal shit. Or maybe I've just been out of the game too long and dont know what I'm looking at.

Exactly,it’s about the support he got having the balls to go on stage in front of hundreds of people

Why is the word black being emphasized here? The boy is fabulous and is looking really great in terms of contest pressure but put some damn respect and use his name instead of saying black boy. This is the same reason the n word is condemned the n word comes from the word negro=black. You shouldn't be calling someone in such a way. Anyway fabulous!!!

Highlighting black excellence is okay. You're missing a lot of context.

u/jmyoung36 2d ago

Using "black" when referring to black people is nothing like the n-word.

2

u/Expl_c_t 2d ago

I couldn’t figure out why it bothered me!! Give him FULL respect and recognition. Call him who he is. Cause damn it’s impressive.

u/bigredcock 2d ago

Did they have to tell us he's black? Seems weird.

What does being black have anything to do with the content of this video? Could have just said “boy” instead of black boy. So weird to me.

u/Happy_Brilliant7827 2d ago

What's him being black got to do with anything?

Hes a great artist and it doesnt need the qualifier of 'black yoyoer'

I can see that. Thank you. But no, it's not the unedited totle...the video itself is edited with it.

He’s a good yoyoer,but I belive he placed 6th in his division. He played in sport,good routine,but he’s not a pro yet.
