Damon Stringer Was The First Lebron James! What if? Stunted Growth
Спорт
Lebron James has became the standard for players advanced at a young age that go on to dominate ammeter competition, having great expectations of them to succeed on the next level and hopefully become great professional athletes as well. When you talk about the best case scenario for a high school basketball star, it doesn’t get better than Lebron’s story and how he not only lived up to the expectations, but far surpassed them, and on his way to becoming one of the greatest African American achievers of all time. That’s the standard, and as far as any player surpassing what he was able to do I don’t think that ever happens again. But it doesn’t mean there weren’t players before Lebron’s hype began that carried that same energy about and for them in their community locally and even nationwide. Today’s feature is one of them. Damon Stringer coming up according to the Cleveland plain Dealer was a hero to many young kids and basketball fans in Cleveland. He was the city’s golden child with the bright future ahead of him before anyone ever heard of Lebron James down in Akron. But from there, life changed... Damon Stringer Was The First Lebron James! What if? Stunted Growth

Not really back then, there were still players like Mugsy Bouges that were 5'3". And I met AI in person, He's about 5'11" in real life

@EightyThreeG I know there are a few sprinkled in but there wasn't that many. You can name guys under 6' like you can name guys over 7'2. And if they say he's 5"11 he was probably 5'9
Dude was his own worst enemy 😮
Damon Stringer:Did his thing in high school, Ohio State, And Cleveland State……Despite his mishaps, glad he turned it around and is doing well in life…..salute and respect….
LBJ isn’t one of the best African American person to achieve great success. HE’S ONE OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE EVER TO SUCCEED IN LIFE.

He's a damn basketball player. He contributes nothing to society. Don't even bring up his school which is taxpayer funded. You need better leaders like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams. But I bet you have no idea who 2 of the smartest human beings to exist are.

weird.. Such low standards you people have. No wonder blacks never make it to top 100 billionaire list. Check out how many asian and latinos is there.. When will you people learn that money talks and those top 100 run the world. The likes of le bron, jokic ,tyson or fury is just a stupid entertainer that will be chew out and replace after their career end. Nobody care about what they say. Look at how pwople are disrespecting MJ rn. They laugh when that clown think he can sit at the big boys table just because he own a franchise and they are right to laugh at the entertainer who forgets his place

Wow, glad you did this one. This is my best friend brother.
Robbing a pro baseball player or anybody for that matter and then getting arrested on your way to try out for a pro ball team is insane. He really crashed out something serious.

I remember young Damon having hype around him but didn't have the tools to become an NBA all time great, we've had other kids in the state believing they are the next LeBron but Truth be told we will never see another player in our life time like LBJ.

I delivered the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a paperboy. Rubber-banding and throwing papers with stories about Damon Stringer.
Crazy story. Love the content
Ray Jr. Had a movie on Amazon about Stringer. Good watching
I don't understand why the narrator gives everything away in the intro. This was one of my favorite channels but now I just watch the first 3-4 minutes because he just repeats himself for the following 10.

He used to practice at Cleveland Hts high in one of the gyms when I was in the 9th grade 1996-1997
He was my AAU coach for a year at Cleveland Heights back in the day , good dude friend of my father.

This dude's story is sensational. The LeBron comparison is click bait and I imagine you, obviously know a stunted growth segment is a stretch, but I'm sure it was interesting for you to do
Hope you do Drew Gooden John Wallace Mike Dunleavy jr Andrew Bogut Emeka Okafor and Joe Barry Caroll next thanks
No Disrespect, but I'm born and raised in Ohio and Damon Stringer was not better than ESTEBAN WEAVER out of Columbus, Ohio please do a story on him. He has a movie on KZread. We thought he was gonna be Kobe. Used to rub elbows in our summer leagues with Jimmy Jackson, Ron Harper, and Nick Van Exel. He was still in hs. 😅

There was no Lebron before Lebron.....outside of Maybe Kareem.....but as far as HS player.... There has never been a HS player anticipated like Bron.... This dude 98%of hardcore fans wouldnt know ..... Lebron is a 1 of 1..... Not better than MJ ...but a 1 of 1..... KG was a highly respected HS player but no one was saying he was the chosen one...... Just a future superstar........... Lebron was getting HS games played on Es-pin........ And again...... Was on "Sports Illustrated" being called chosen one...... 👈👈👈

Do Estaban Weaver
The only thing happened here was this young cat wasted all that talent because he wanted to be a thug he grew up in a good home and had good parents it's being spoiled and praised all your life leads to stupid decisions that ended a career before it even started I remember him well I'm from Ohio I was a senior when he was a junior in highschool he had game but chose the wrong path
Nah he had hype but still nothing like LeBron or Mayo or even Estabon Weaver... Stringer was terrible at Ohio State. He led the team his freshman year in scoring with a whopping 11.3ppg just edging out freshman teammate Jermaine Tate at 11.0ppg. hahaha. They just weren't very good... 10 win season where Shaun Stonerook, Tate and Stringer were their best players as true freshman. Same thing sophomore season... 10 wins led by sophomores Stonerook, Tate, Stringer and Jason Singleton. He was undersized and not real athletic. Stonerook and Tate both left after that season as well. Those were some really down years in Columbus. That next season a legit superstar freshman with crazy hype showed up in Michael Redd.. they were still terrible but he gave you 22/6/3 as a true freshman in the Big10. The next two seasons with Redd and Sconnie Penn they were legit contenders. That would be a good video... Scoonie Penn... or even Redd but Penn is kinda unknown and was a killer. Stringer was always just meh
African American LeBron not from Africa
Damon Stringer and Lebron have NOTHING in common except both were born in Ohio lol not even the same city just ohio lol this is nonsense
Immature decisions
Y’all need to do some WVU and Marshall players
