There’s something wrong with this, right?

I’ve become a real fan of The Big Lead over the last couple of weeks. Not only are the fine fellows over there good writers, but they have a real knack for finding some real unique and interesting stuff to post about.

Today, the Big Lead dug up a lengthy feature from the Washington Post on a 10-year-old basketball prospect. I’ll continue with my ass kissing and quote the Big Lead on this one:

Is it pretty amazing to watch a baby-faced 10-year-old do these things? Yes. Is it grotesque to see a 10-year-old featured in one of the biggest newspapers in America? Yes. Now, USA Today or some other frothy publication will come and beat down his door for an interview, further swelling the 10-year-old’s head. Or worse yet, the dirty street agents that have tarnished high school and college basketball will pounce on the kid and his parents, filling their heads with visions of how’s the tyke is Bob Cousy in diapers. Gregg Doyel needs to totally be all over this.

Good stuff, indeed.

There’s apparently some video of this kid balling it up on the Post’s site, so check that out if you feel so inclined.

We’re pretty sure basketball recruiting is actually going to come to what this video depicts soon. Sad, really.
