This Teen Hooper Has NO LEGS..



This Teen Hooper Has NO LEGS..

This kid has no legs but can cross you up and drain threep pointers this is JoJo hes and he’s not the only player we got to talk about like this kid who dominates high school basketball with no hands or feet this Pro player with dwarfism that can easily

Break your ankles or the 7’5 15-year-old girl that drops 62 points in her championship game and those are just a few of the 12 unbelievable players I got to show you and first there’s a basketball player with no arms see when jamaran Styles was born he caught a rare

Infection that caused him to lose most of his arms so growing up wasn’t easy especially cuz he had dreams of being a Hooper but not even his friends believed in him he’ll start picking teams and I will be the only one left out and then they’ll just tell me just go home and

Stuff you can break someone’s heart like that but all that rejection only fueled him and by the time he was 12 he was so good that he made his middle school basketball team because this kid learned had to dribble pass and most importantly shoot and on March 31st 2017 he got his

Shot to play in a game and nailed It block [Applause] him yeah he made that look easy but this next player is making D1 look easy cuz he’s on his way to take over the NBA with only one hand see when Hansel and Manuel was only six he ended up losing his left arm arm in a freak accident but

That didn’t stop him from pursuing the sport that he loved so with the help of his dad who played professional basketball Hansel learned a hoop with only one arm and when his family moved to Florida he got the opportunity to play in a real High School league where he started dropping players with

One-armed crossovers hitting jump shots from anywhere in the court and dunking on players’ heads it was unbelievable and the world agreed cuz this kid turned into a Star Overnight gaining 1.6 million Instagram followers and after 3 years of hooping in high school anel got a D1 scholarship to play for

Northwestern State University and on December 10th 2022 he scored his first college points brings it into the front Court Emanuel he’ll drive in lays it up and there’s the first points of the career of Hansel Emanuel but nowadays hansel’s got his eyes set on the NBA where he’d become the first

One-armed player to ever make the lead [Applause] he don’t want people to see him oh the guy that only had one hand he want to play in the NBA he don’t have no fear on the court he can be the first player in the league playing with one aror I

Believe him and I believe he can do that man that dude’s an inspiration but look what if I told you there’s a 7t 400 lb monster that’s playing in college basketball meet Connor Williams aka Big coach and he plays for St John fer University in New York but despite being

Built like a truck the kid can hoop cuz this dude can make passes bully other players in the key and sink three-pointers so in his first game in 2021 he instantly went viral with this play well that’s that’s a problem of being good right that’s right getting non-conference games nobody wants to

Play it yep and the Big Guy Williams hits the T hits the floor there he rolled his ankle yeah he’s grim you can tell but he’ll make the nice pass for the dunk and the foul to cook and since then life’s only been uphill he’s got 45,000 followers on Insta he’s still

Hooping and he’s even got his own trading card that man is living large but there’s a team from New York that doesn’t care about size I’m talking about the greatest team in dwarf basketball history see in New York there’s a basketball team for adults with an average player height of 4T

Called the New York Towers and their team is stacked they got a lightning quick Justin Tomkins at point guard Sharpshooter John Horton and they’d be nothing without their starting Big Man 4 fo5 Blaze Foster leading the towers is to three straight dwarf Association titles these guys were like the Chicago

Bulls of little people but it’s no surprise they’re so good cuz their star player was their biggest baller Manny love a 4 fo5 demon who had division 2 college offers that made grown men look silly watch back yeah in fact Manny was so good he signed with the Harlem Globe trots making him

The smallest person to ever play professional basketball I’m one of the best basketball players in the [Applause] world that’s why I’m go yeah that man right there is the goat of dwarf basketball but look something’s going on out in China cuz there’s a little girl that’s bullying everyone this is jong zuu a 7’5 Beast who is only 15 years old and she’s been destroying Chinese

Basketball I mean she makes it look like she’s playing on a kids hoop but not only that she’s over 2 ft taller than all of her opponents so when she goes to shoot no one can even come close to blocking her and even if she misses she’ll get her own rebound until she

Makes it which is exactly why she’s been averaging 35 points per game and even once dropped 62 points in her League’s [Applause] finals yeah that girl is a cheat coat and so who is this next player CU Darnell Rogers the smallest player in D1 history is absolutely terrorizing the league see this dude is a 5’2 150lb point guard and normally a person that short would have a hard time

Competing but Darnell was different cuz in high school he figured out that being short could have some advantages being so low to the ground and allowed him to make passes the defense couldn’t reach he’s sneaky to get Steals and his dribbles were so low no one could take

The ball from him so Darnell made his opponents look stupid scoring multiple 40-point games and leading his high school to back-to-back championships so UNBC offered him their starting point guard spot and not only did he lead the team in scoring but he became the shortest player and D1 basketball

History you’re averaging 9.3 points per game but the thing that we just saw there as everybody came in little man you’re 5 foot2 so when you see opponents on the court for the first time how do they react when they see you when when

Lcen up with us I mean they got to guard me just like I got to guard them so it’s going to be a tough match up for them I know it’s tough when they got to guard somebody like me that’s fast and quick you know I can do everything so this man

Gets buckets look at him 52 look at him fler off the backboard he is averaging 14 a night friends he’s a lefty too that’s cool wow maybe a little Size Doesn’t Matter ladies and gentlemen if you’re watching this you just look at it yeah he’s a b siiz ball but there’s a

Lot more incredible athletes coming up like Jojo who with no legs can cross people up and he’s not the only one who can hoop without legs cuz this is Josiah and his shot is so good he can hit buzzer beaters like This and we’ll get to all that and much more but first we got to talk about our sponsor game time the cheapest and safest way to get Sports tickets cuz if you find cheaper tickets than game times they will literally give you 110% of the difference to buy tickets you want so

Guaranteed but now we got to talk about the Michael Jordan of wheelchair basketball see when Patrick Anderson was a kid he loved hockey hanging out with his friends and playing sports but when he was just 9 years old something horrifying happened when I was 9 years old

I was hit by a car and I lost both my legs below the knees and in losing my legs I lost my Independence I lost Sports I lost hockey it was a really hard time Patrick hit rock bottom his dreams of ever playing any sports were

Ripped away or at least that’s what he thought cuz just a year after the accident Patrick was introduced to wheelchair basketball and he immediately fell in love and I remember that day very vividly I saw basketballs lying on the court and a mini basketball hoop so

I leaned over in my wheelchair and I picked up a basketball and I put it on my lap and I wheeled over the basket and took a shot so I grabbed the ball and I did a little Loop and I went in and hit another shot I mean that was it I was

Hooked after 10 years of practicing and competing in local leagues Patrick got so good one of the best wheelchair basketball schools in the world the University of Illinois gave him a wheelchair basketball scholarship where he became a star but after 4 years Patrick at his sight on something bigger

The Canadian national team and in 2000 they offered him a starting spot on the team to compete in the Olympics Patrick knew he wasn’t going to waste the opportunity of a lifetime so over the next few years he balled out dropping crazy passes hitting threes and averaging a ridiculous 21 points a game

That is more points than Kobe LeBron or MJ averaged in any Olympics and Patrick continued to dominate his entire career winning gold medals in 2000 2004 and 2012 and becoming the greatest wheelchair basketball player of all time but look we got to talk about the player

That has no hands and no feet this is Landis Sims and because he was born without fully formed limbs people told him that being an athlete was impossible but Landis didn’t listen he wanted to play basketball so he got prosthetic legs learn to catch with no hands and

After years of practicing figured out a way to shoot so well he ended up making his high school’s basketball team but it was obvious he wasn’t going to make it to the NBA so L just decided to play baseball and he got so good the San Diego Padres signed him to a one-day

Contract I’m excited to have you here with us I know you have a special relationship with Joe Musgrove he said you’re a pretty good pitcher we could use a little help of pitching so we’d love to sign you to a contract here with the Padres this is the same uniform

Player contract that Joe Musgrove signed that all the players signed so you’re officially going to be a major league Padres player how does that sound sound amazing awesome sign right here to sign a contract with the Padre’s it really just means everything to me congratulations thank yeah welcome to

The padr thank you I think I’m you know back in the league out of retirement but he’s not the only one going pro cuz Kevin grow is the only player with Down Syndrome that’s signed to the NBA see Kevin has a disorder that causes developmental delays but that

Didn’t stop him from becoming a goat cuz he’s spent years practicing on his own until he made it to his high school team and eventually Kevin even got the chance to play in a real game where he shocked the [Applause] world this was the greatest game ever

Played by someone with down syndome cuz he dropped 14 points including three three-pointers and he even hit a buzzer beater This clip instantly went viral and eventually it caught the eye of an NBA team cuz just a few days later the 76ers reached out asking Kevin if he wanted to sign a two-day contract so Kevin immediately jumped at the opportunity he joined the team pregame tonight his

Custom Jersey waiting for him in the locker he stood side by side with his new teammates powerful moment as the team huddled the around him but this right here this is what it’s all about it’s much bigger than basketball the team has really embraced him yesterday

At practice today at the game and just moments ago Kevin Gro coming out with the entire Ben Salem High School basketball team and he’s probably a better sixer than Ben Simmons but look what if I told you that some players are dominating with no legs yeah this is

Josiah Johnson and he was born without legs so growing up he was constantly told all the things he couldn’t do he couldn’t play basketball and he’ll never make it on a basketball team I mean it was fair to be skeptical how could someone with no legs Possibly play in a

Sport that’s all about using your legs well at first Josiah listened to all the haters he thought maybe he wasn’t cut out to be on an able-body team and he decided to play wheelchair basketball instead but after dominating in his local wheelchair lead it was obvious that Josiah was different so he decided

His only option was to play basketball like everyone else yeah Josiah practice moving around the court with his arms shooting from the ground and working on his ball handleing by the time he reached eighth grade Josiah was ready to go out for his school’s basketball team and that’s when he proved everyone wrong

Still Josiah knew making the team was a long shot fortunately though Josiah turned out to be pretty good at long shots he made the team on his merits yeah Josiah didn’t make the team cuz the coaches felt back he made it cuz he was actually talented and with him

Being so low to the ground opponents have called Josiah a nightmare on defense dude with his ability to poke the ball away while his teammates compared him to step cuz in his first game ever he did this it was the end of the game seconds remaining Josiah shoots from three and again his

Disability disappeared but Josiah’s not the only player with no legs making a name for thems meet the Hooper with no legs who’s better at basketball than you JoJo Hayes see when JoJo was just a one-year-old kid he almost didn’t make it cuz he was diagnosed with menitis a disease that

Causes inflammation around the legs and works his way up the body and it got so bad doctors thought JoJo wouldn’t survive so they had no choice but to perform a last second operation and while they ended up saving his life they had to take both of his legs in the

Process but even though JoJo would never walk again by the time he turned five he fell in love with basketball and as he got older he decided that since he’s still had his hands he’d figure out a way to go out and hoop so he practiced for hours just shooting from all over

The court working on his technique and when he was home he practiced dribbling around the living room and it turns out JoJo became a three-point sniper cuz during halime of a University of Illinois game JoJo got the chance to play five on five and with over 10,000 people watching something magical

Happened I hit a three during half time at a basketball game and it went viral I saw it on YouTube get it JoJo he had the crowd run feel like yanis or that furry ah yes bro is doing more with no legs than I am with two now look while both Josiah

And JoJo grew up without legs there’s a basketball player who lost their legs at the age of 33 but did not let that stop stop him from playing basketball see on May 2nd 2021 AJ Davis was on top of the world he was playing for the Columbus

Condors a minor league team in Ohio and he’d been balling out dropping 29 Points in his last game with hopes of going back overseas to play or even catching the eye of an NBA Scout but just 3 days after his big game AJ was heading home

To drop his daughter off when he noticed a homeless man on the side of the road asking for food so he pulled over and started digging through his groceries trying to help the dude out when out of nowhere car struck AJ from behind 911 what’s the location of your emergency on

Hamton road it’s not me there was an accident and somebody it looked like his legs are really broke a month later AJ finally woke up in the hospital after being in a coma doctors immediately surrounded AJ’s bed whereing they gave him the worst news of his life despite

Doing everything they could AJ’s legs were so severely broken doctors had no choice but to amputate both of them I want to carry that pain and anger but then if I carry that that’ll be stopping my blessings or what he has planned for me so I’m not going to hold that burden

On me and stop what he has next for me so I’ll just continue to live my life yeah I don’t have to let my by my physical legs but I’ll get artificial legs to get me back rolling so it’s a process I have to go through but I’ll

Get through it but despite missing both of his legs AJ had one thing on his mind getting back on the the court and just 2 months after the accident AJ made his return his spirits have not wavered the positivity has not wavered having to be

In a coma for what was over a month and doctors to save his life ended up having to amputate both legs but AJ Davis so glad to be here and we are so glad he’s here as well AJ went from losing his legs to being back on the court in Just

2 months but his story is bigger than basketball cuz despite everything that happened to him AJ holds no hate in his heart you can talk to her you tell her there’s no pain in my heart towards you I don’t hold anything against you like yeah the situation did change my life

But there’s no grudge or anything that I’m holding or hate toward You
