Just think, he wasn’t a setter growing up. He was an amazing hitter. Not powerful but smart. Watched him play in high school and he was no doubt the best player in the gym and in the state.

His one handed sets are a thing of beauty 😭
Ever since I started watching men's volleyball. I noticed how good a pace setter is Micah Christensen. I always admired his ability to read the opponent and who will do the rapid spike and all that.
"Most smartest" is such an ironic term

Definitely one of the best setters in the world. I might not call the smartest setter, but for me, the craftiest setter. He makes those difficult plays look so easssyyyy
The ball never even stops moving when he dumps it it’s crazy

He is just damn so good! A very intelligent player, and so accurate too. He pulls off those set-turn-spikes way too often to be opportunistic.
Him and Bruno are the best setters for me!
I've been loving and supporting him ever since
He's so handsome
