This clip is important for one reason. He is doing it live. That’s big time for a freestyler. Its one thing to be able to do it in front of a camera and then go home and edit. But in front of a live audience anything can happen. Its a whole different story. Some of the best live performers I have seen include Tommy Baker and Ghost, but at only age 16 I think this kid is well on his way.
The stuff this guy is doing is unreal. There are still areas for improvement but in terms of creativity and ability, this guy is through the roof. Streetball needs more people to push the creative boundaries of the sport. This guy is definitely keeping it moving.
Yes he is unconventional, he doesnt quite fit the typical description of a streetball player and he has some odd choices for freestyle locations but what he does with a basketball is crazy so we will continue to cover new from this guy (you already know).
In the last video I posted of this guy, I called him Poland’s Tommy Baker. So it’s only fitting that in the same day that we drop a new clip from Tommy, this guy gets some shine too. Now I usually DO NOT post videos that are filmed in bedrooms or basements, but this guy is an exception. Even in these non basketball settings you can see what this guy does is incredible. Look at the focus and determination on his face when he is freestyling. That’s probably why he is doing a lot of stuff right now that no body else is doing.Anyways, I have to stop calling this guy “this guy”. Here’s the real scoop: His name is Mieszko, he is 16 years old and he started freestyling 7 months ago. If you are interested you can check him out on youtube. Thanks to Andrzej for the heads up.
