Success. Curious how much can this video hold up and be relevant in regular season when Wembanyama and Holmgren play.

The video was a huge success solely because the topic was underdelivered, people wanted to see JP in a new team, but there was no Youtubers reviewing his game. I doubt that the outcome would be the same if I published the vid right now, when all big Youtubers are on it.

That's what I said about Wembanyama, no one cares about post up bully ball anymore. There are different aspects that determines how valuable is the big guy. Why is everyone so locked in on Wemby getting bullied under the post?

When judging bigs’ defense let’s not get caught up on “but can he hang in the post?” It’s a new game. Not the end of the world if your center’s defensive weakness is 1-on-1 post play considering how inefficient *most* post-offense is. Guards can’t even make entry passes anymore.

While I was watching him in the Washington Wizards uniform, Jordan began trending after every single game, whether it was Twitter, TikTok or Youtube, people shared his lowlights, so I knew that I had to be the first one to publish a video, because the competition is pretty low.

There was a time Greek basketball had these 3 playing in the same 5 man lineup. Jesus christ.. The only question, what happened? The only decent playmaker for Greece now is Kostas Sloukas..

Big part of Youtube journey is understanding trends in your niche, even better, researching and being first in the line when a new trend begins. In summer I was patiently waiting for the NBA preseason to begin, just to watch Jordan Poole play in his new team. 1/2

Also wonderful how Youtube's algorithm always finds an audience for your content. Initial push was towards my core viewers that only watched NBA and maybe Euro ball, after some changes from me Youtube began pivoting my video towards Asian users and it was a success.

Asian Ad Revenue hits different, the spike was US audience watching the video, the drop came after the video reached Filipino audience. Nevertheless planning to do a video about Philippines basketball.

In the worst period of Ad Revenue (Summer) this single video earned me 600€. For reference unqualified workers earn 570€ a month in my city. Youtube is nice.

I've been watching G-League games, specifically the Ignite team (was interested in Matas Buzelis) and now I want to take a break from basketball in general.. No wonder young prospects that were developed by Ignite struggle to transition from G league to NBA.

@tropicsocial Bad take. Youtube titles don't matter for big creators like MrBeast, they can upload a video with an empty title and people will still click on it. I don't get it what title has to do with auto play? People still need to hover on the video to play it, thus the title.

Sabonis not feeling confident with his midrange game even in preseason is not a good sign. Domas was being dared to attempt that same shot in playoffs, without the midrange game, driving or playing back to the basket is not a possibility.

Ricky Rubio being 32 is insane, the dude played in 2008 Olympics and became the youngest player to play in a final, Ricky was just 17..

Great example of how to never give up on your videos, did some title and thumbnail changes, idk the impact my adjustments had, but the video started gaining traction.

College and Europe is a far superior development choice for any basketball talent with their own respective nuances. Ignite legitimately reminds me of the time when LaVar Ball created his own league to boost his sons draft stock. Circus.

@EricFawcett_ First KBL game that I watched was back in 2015 and back then I noticed them backing free throws, I created my channel recently decided to do a short that went viral and now it's everywhere TikTok, Yt and even on Nick's channel. Idk how much I influenced this, but it's cool to see

@lean8086 @thumbnailgirl Same, at first it caught my attention a lot, I ended up watching plenty of Youtube guru content, but nowadays I just skip these kind of thumbnails and vids. (And there are a lot of them..)

I always liked Jalen Duren, 6"11 with good hands, good defense, has instinct for rebounds and now hes doing this in summer league.. He's only 19. Mark my words he's going to be really good in the upcoming years for Detroit Pistons.

Aaand comparisons to Wembanyama. One commentator told that Wemby struggled against kids in France while Kai Sotto played against grown ass men in Australia. Classic.

@athenamaris10 Do you see what's happening on the Orlando Magic social media pages? The Pinoys are being baited into believing that Kai Sotto is a Demi-God NBA player (which atm he's not) and then literally send death threats to people who disagree with them. That's my problem.

Another 1/1. It's so crucial to publish a banger video after a channel sees "virality" it's important to build on that momentum. Let's see for how long this vid stays 1/1 as my previous publish got 300K views.

Strange how I can upload NBA content freely but @FIBA copyrights every bit of material, squeezes every penny and then removes the claim after 4 months. Can't contact anyone, can't dispute any copyright claim. The video is doing great tho. I'm happy for it.

I cannot stress enough the issues that most Lithuanian guards have had with dribbling the ball and beating the half-court press, Liutauras Lelevičius on the other hand demonstrates good handles, willingness to play with the ball, doesn't end his dribble in tough situations. 1/2

If anyone wondered how much Youtube shorts pay out. Pro tip : Don't focus on making shorts and it's not about revenue, you can't grow a loyal audience with shorts. Shorts is a great side gig to grow your "brand" but nothing more.

Liutauras is a pontential 3-Level Scorer. Attacking the rim (finishing strong with contact & drawing fouls) Mid-Range game (has his sweat spots, knows how to get to them) and most importantly 3-Point Shooting (4.87 3PA, 37.8%) Can this translate to men's basketball tho? 2/2

@Karapace1222 There was also a youtube video with his crazy stories how he blew 500k salary in Italy on cocaine, how he sold his kids toys just to get drugs, how 20 minutes before the game in Boston he was waiting outside for dealer to get his dose, he couldnt play without consuming coke.
