USC signed David Sills when he was 13, basketball sensation Seventh Woods is getting that same hype at age 14. What a mockery. |
First off, before I delve into how ridiculous it is for us to crown him the next LeBron James or even the next Andrew Wiggins, what a name. I'm sure there is some asinine reason behind the name, but imagine if this dude actually lives up to the hype? Seventh Woods has to be one of the freshest names in sports and will make him unbelievably marketable.
Anyways, there's nothing in that video above that makes me anymore excited than watching Aquille Carr's tape, but there is one play in the mixtape that really embodies the mythical/legendary status of this freshman. At like the 55 seconds mark Woods gets bumped out of bounds and lobs a shot over the backboard and in. A purely lucky play, but when they show the shock and awe of the crowd it kind of reveals the level of disbelief people have when watching (and hearing about him).
I'm about as confident about this kid fizzling out as I am this kid living up to the hype.
P.S. HoopMixtape.com makes the best high school basketball videos ever.
