In 2008, a news video on 11-year-old basketball phenom Jashaun Agosto went super viral, and now has over 23 million views.
In the video, Jashaun demonstrates very advanced dribbling techniques and a pinpoint-accurate shot. He also disclosed his dream of playing basketball at its highest level.
Additionally, the kid boasted a mile time of 4 minutes and 50 seconds, making him a true freak of nature in more than one respect.
Shortly afterwards, Jashuan was dubbed ’the best 4th grader in the nation', made an appearance on Ellen, and played pick-up with NBA stars Jamal Crawford and Isiaah Thomas.
Today: Jashuan is now 17, and is the starting point guard for the Garfield High School varsity basketball team.
He recently led Garfield to a state championship, and is an ESPN four-star recruit for the class of 2016.
There are recent videos of him as well, and if you watch the video below, you will see he is doing quite well.
He is a bit short at a height of 5'9, but dunks insanely.
