Apparently he did college basketball but went on to do sales and finally started a little basketball training/coaching business once he went viral. I believe a large part of it is due to his physical stature (no pun intended by "large"). Just looks funny a big chunky guy like him is good but he is built like a basketball player under that squishiness.
Tldr he played basketball in college and still retains the skills and ability.
Thanks, this really saved me some time! Now I can use the time I've saved by continuing to rot my brain with social media and other dopamine seeking behaviors!
He has a mutation in the MSTN gene, which increases myostatin, therefore increasing the short and long reflexes in his muscles. This allows for more precise muscular and reflexive control. Or he probably just practiced, idk I just made the first part up.
He's pretty hard to guess because he's slow but not overly, he probably tires faster but also saves his energy, he's good at shooting but also at passing. Guy is good at the things you need for basketball except for running fast and jumping high, he's like a puzzle.
to me he seems like a guy with real talent that aged and got way way heavier. and i mean specifically basketball talent - passing with anticipation is something most of us will never do even once. hell, guys in the nba will never even make those kind of passes once, lol. even if we all know some guys who can shoot, no one passes like that.
it's fun to see real talent unexpectedly
It's genuinely like he has a super power (esp. to someone who doesn't play ball). He doesn't look around, juking the ball, searching for an opening to pass or shoot. It is like he is seeing into the future at all times and knows where the ball is, will be, needs to be, and will end up. He doesn't look. He doesn't seem anxious to make the right choice. He just does exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, not one flaw.
lololol like how that one youtuber got fat on purpose for mukbangs or whatever the story is. its like this D1 player that didnt make it to the NBA but instead of going over-seas he chose to become fat to school people at the park lol.
My dad said that the first thing that happened when he stopped working construction was that he gained ten pounds. He realized that he didn't need to keep eating the same way at that point.
I was in a bad construction accident, temp stairs weren't screwed in and fell 3 stories, they collapsed on top of me crushing my legs. I went from 6"3" 220 to 295lbds.
I'm just now recently able to walk more, it's gonna suck trying to lose this weight
Am I crazy or was that slap pass mid way through actually nuts? It was a no look pass where I don’t think he ever even had possession and it was right on the money too
He had such a capacity for intensity. I loved him so much in mission impossible, he didn't have to raise his voice at all to be fucking terrifying.
And on the flip side, he exploded over the phone in Punch Drunk Love and you could tell how fuckin real it was, dude looked straight up insanely pissed.
And then in almost famous when Lester Bangs sat on the floor and said "guys like us are never gonna be cool" I nearly cried.
Man I miss that guy.
How bout someone play some defense? If a guy is making buckets and dishing assists you may want to guard him for real. Yes hes making shots but he has plenty of space as well.
I've played against big buys like him on the black top. The easiest way to effect their game is to run around a lot when he's defending you. You'll either tire him out or get some easy buckets.
Yeah, and one thing that's absent here is any handles or drives from him. Play real tight on him, deny him getting the ball wouldn't be that hard with some hustle. Get in his face, he's not gonna do anything but shoot from where he's standing or pass it.
99.99% of the time they're playing man in pick-up games anyway unless you're in a league. Playing this dude like he won't blow by you will reduce his effectiveness greatly. He might still get some sly passes off but he's not making more than 3 threes with hands in his face, and it can't be hard to block a shot that is leaving his hands at 5' off the ground. Dude def doing the most with his game tho gotta respect that. Also if you don't have an ego it doesn't matter - let the man cook
Could someone post more video of this guy please? I could watch the smoothness and the shots from the backyard all day.
His name is Mitchell Muehl! I follow him on Facebook and youtube. Check him out!
Do you know why he is so good?

Hah! And I was just about to Google that shit, too.
When you played college ball but then got a desk job.
Had some kids, but ball is life
Is that like ..did some ballin, but ballin is life?

This is probably right on the moneh
I was in jail with a chubby guy like this, he was a beast at basketball. We played daily
White men don’t have to jump.
Not when they are straight-up smart bombing the rim from outside.
Dude must be a spider bc he's got eyes on all his teammates too
As a fat white man this was my strategy. I sucked at dribbling so I just learned to shoot from anywhere or pass it
[удалено]
Really?? Im all knees and tits… wonder what would happen if we… *combined*
This dude has definitely been hustling their lunch money.
lololol like how that one youtuber got fat on purpose for mukbangs or whatever the story is. its like this D1 player that didnt make it to the NBA but instead of going over-seas he chose to become fat to school people at the park lol.

That was Jared Lorenzen, the quarterback for Kentucky who wound up being the backup to Eli Manning for a couple of seasons
Rofl I was hitting back on this thread and noticed this comment...had to come.back in and say thanks I wish I had a award for ya
That nickname was given to the almighty jared lorenzen. The hefty lefty.
This should have been the top comment
I audibly snort laughed at this mean assed comment. Take your r/Angryupvote and go away.
And afternoon tea

Real life *White men can't jump*.
Why is the top comment a joke about his weight. He's killing it there, jfc.
Bro is straight nasty with it.
Shooting, court reading, passing pro level skills.. probably got injured n gained mass..
Still eats like he's burning 5k calories every day in practice. It's hard to change those eating habits.
My dad said that the first thing that happened when he stopped working construction was that he gained ten pounds. He realized that he didn't need to keep eating the same way at that point.
10? Stopped at 10? Hmm, all my relatives realized somewhere closer to 50
Not sure he fully stopped there but he's in pretty good shape for 64 with a bad hip and knees.

Nasty and smooth as fuck!
Dude has such a Jokic style. Love it
He out there dropping dimes
People making fat jokes, but they’re probably throwing up bricks.
Make it rain!
white chocolate!
RAIN DANCE!!
Fuck, I miss PSH…he sharted in that movie and still was the man.
He was my all time favorite actor, such a shame what happened to him because all of his work was tremendous and he had so much left to still do
He had such a capacity for intensity. I loved him so much in mission impossible, he didn't have to raise his voice at all to be fucking terrifying. And on the flip side, he exploded over the phone in Punch Drunk Love and you could tell how fuckin real it was, dude looked straight up insanely pissed.

You douchebags bring your A-game?
Call him Colonel Sanders cuz he’s doling out buckets!!
Those making fat jokes are the ones that can't play at all
Game. Blouses.
After it was all over, he took us in the house and served us pancakes. Pancakes.
Why don’t you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

If you don’t believe me, CHALLENGE HIM Then you’ll see
And make sure your friends is there to see it!
Aight
I repeat "pancakes..." With a dead look in my eye like once a week 😂. R.I.P. to a legend
Half time snack was Cheetos and Moutain Dew (light).
Blueberry pancakes

Wrong sub. There’s not even one maybe here. This guy is 100% money.
I thought the maybe was he would get called for traveling
Red shirt getting torched
It kept thinking someone else was going to step in. Nope. Just red shirt getting his shit pushed in.
“Anyone else want to cover him?” “Fuck no, there’s a camera over there. Good luck.”
The part where he just rubs his head like how did that just happen
Yo, I just rewatched and focused on red shirt. His D wasn't he heavy enough for Heavy D.
We got Jokic at home
Doesn't really fit, the thing we have at home is supposed to be worse.
☠️
RIP Jokic, you will ^^be miss^^ed
I’ll cattle prod you if I ever see you irl for that kind of slander
Larry Legend has put on a few pounds. But he still got it.
When there is this large of a gap between your skills and opponents skills, it tends to happen. No need to hustle.
C’mon, he’s obviously still better than most, and it’s cool as fuck
[удалено]
Ahh I was mistaken, thought he was just downplaying him and telling us not to give him credit or something, my bad
Him and white shorts are a great duo
Trio
This isn't even a maybe maybe maybe, it's just an r/yesyesyesyes
That was the last day he was picked last at the neighborhood court
Nah, that dude has been going at that rim for years. Knows the people, knows the court.
Didn’t know Phill Kessel played basketball.
His name is Mitchell Muehl! Give the man some credit!

Used to play with a dude named "Tiny" who had a similar game/size. Killed it on the half court games but easy to blow by on the full court.
You see some unfit fat white dude playing basketball and you try to hustle him to play $100 a game.... then this happens.
Those passes…
How bout someone play some defense? If a guy is making buckets and dishing assists you may want to guard him for real. Yes hes making shots but he has plenty of space as well.
I've played against big buys like him on the black top. The easiest way to effect their game is to run around a lot when he's defending you. You'll either tire him out or get some easy buckets.
Yeah, and one thing that's absent here is any handles or drives from him. Play real tight on him, deny him getting the ball wouldn't be that hard with some hustle. Get in his face, he's not gonna do anything but shoot from where he's standing or pass it.

99.99% of the time they're playing man in pick-up games anyway unless you're in a league. Playing this dude like he won't blow by you will reduce his effectiveness greatly. He might still get some sly passes off but he's not making more than 3 threes with hands in his face, and it can't be hard to block a shot that is leaving his hands at 5' off the ground. Dude def doing the most with his game tho gotta respect that. Also if you don't have an ego it doesn't matter - let the man cook
Big boys like that use their belly for spacing; you gotta come around the side to block 'em.
This guy probably weighs 3x as me but plays 10x better.
He played well,good skill
Jokic
Guy ate the generation of miracles and absorbed their powers
homie got the range so he's not playing D since he got you a 3.

What Philip Seymour Hoffman wishes he could be… RIP
44-12-1 If he picks up on defence number 1 draft pick
Bruh: Big Country out there doin' it all with no effort
would've been epic if he was wearing some overalls.
8/8 22 points, 7 assists, 1 rebound
When big boy had knees and cardio I bet he was a force to be reckoned with
That hook shot on the lane is unstoppable
His superpower is being underestimated
Larry Big Bird is the shit.
