Introducing Jordan Montgomery

By

Here’s the deal. I received a facebook message that said the following:

“My little brother is the top 8 year old in the country and we are hoping to get some publicity is there anyway you can help?
Thank you. Below is a mixtape of my brother… thanks again”

My reply to the dude?

“Maybe the craziest thing anyone has ever asked me!!! HE’S IN 2ND GRADE!!!”

Now I’ve succumbed. So world, introducing Dime cover athlete for issue #674… The 8 year sensation… Jordan Montgomery.

  • e

    to anyone who mentioned stuff like he has no left and no jumper you should be ashamed of yourself he is a great ballhandler heck the best ive seen at that age and other things you just dont see with a kid his age but yet some of you guys are find negative things to say about a 7 year old are you kidding me its kids his age that still havent mastered putting the ball through their legs or even laying the ball up SMH shame on all you ol heads hating on a little kid with talent and doing positive things with his time

    @ sweet english #46

    i dont know who post #40 is but he makes a lot of since… i cant control who posts before or after me since this is a world wide website! its funny how people get defensive over two people saying something positive about this 8 year old. Anyways great work kid keep it up!

  • willie

    he looks like stephen curry, except older. lol

  • Ian

    lol at 1:55 when number 35 tosses aside the other kid.

  • Ian

    btw ballhog in the making

  • alimoe

    hes too young to pass judgement the vid is not even worth watching at this point. the little kid ripping the other kids in soccer was more impressive

  • rolum

    @ alimoe.
    and all the other viewers that say its not worth watching or not impressive!!! are you kidding me! im a former college coach and i had a hard time teaching my team some of the things this kid can do at 8! is he too young? nooo its never to early to learn the game. its obvious he was blessed with a gift why not share it with the world. nice job!

  • jordo montgomery

    jordon montgomery is my name
    go me
    i rock!!!

  • Damien Thorne

    Damn…is this what we have come to? Why can’t we look at it for what it really is…entertainment. The little guy can play for his age, period. But all the social commentary and some of you flat out with taking two sips of haterraid between each keystroke is ridiculous . Critiquing the kid like you are a college coach on a recruiting trip…HE’S 8 DAMMIT!!!! If you had a little brother or relative that was balling like that you would be just as proud as his people obviously are. As always, you can tell when you are doing something good, because there are always members of Haters Inc. around to flap their gums on some negative. Grow up.

    45%- watch again…he did go left several times..you were too blinded by your hate to see. Same for Eddy K, on the he never passed comment, I saw plenty of passes to open teammates. Bye Haters.

    I have had the honor of watching Jordan grow up. Prior to being able to dribble (or for that matter walk) Jordan and his older brother Kyle have had a unique relationship. Kyle is an outstanding young man he also played the game of basketball (with the support of his entire family)he is now in college as a pre-med student (not playing basketball, but fully academic scholarship). This young man should be held up as the role model to any brother or sister. He finds the time to mentor not just his brother, but other kids that play the game. Every parent that has had a child who has played with Jordan has been impressed by Jordan’s humble spirit. Jordan is always encouraging of his teammates. He is simply a child that really has a “gift”. To come here and see the “harsh” statements with regard to Jordan and Kyle is beyond sad. I admire this family for encouraging both of their children to work hard and keep all of their options open. Only God knows what life has in store for Jordan. However in the meantime what is so wrong about being prepared? These young men are not robbing stores, not doing drugs, not skipping school (quiet the opposite-Kyle graduated in the top 5% of his class and was the only African American Male in his county to be inducted into the National Honor Society)So I believe both he and Jordan will be fine.

    PS. His parents don’t need the kids to succeed for them. They want the best for their kids just like any other parent. Let us not kill the messenger, let’s just appreciate the message.

    This kid is good but I have seen 8 year olds with more of a complete game. Yes he does have handles, still needs to work on a few things. I have seen him in Tornaments and he was nice. But there are so many other kids in Los Angeles area that is much better because they have tougher competition.
