He Played Varsity Basketball in 5th Grade | Julian Newman Digital Social Hour #89

So do you think the fame at an early age kinda set the tone for you?

During class I got pulled out for you know news appearances in the gym and all types of stuff.

So sometimes I barely went to school because of appearances and stuff like that.

But yeah, it was like, it was my life, honestly.

Have you ever been kicked out of a game?

I've been ejected out of a couple games.

But some like Elbow Me, I pushed it back.

But older people at school and like coaches were talking down on like a 12 year old, 11 year old.

Welcome to Digital Social Hour.

I'm your host, Sean Kelly.

You're my co-host, Wayne Lewis.

What up, what up?

And our guest today, Julian Newman.

How's it going, man?

Appreciate

having me.

Yes, sir.

Mr.

Phenomen.

Mr.

Mighty Mouse.

Man, what happened to the thumbnail?

Oh, man, I was working out in Orlando, Florida.

And I played ones after and driving right.

And I was like keeping my left hand on the ground for balance.

And it was kind of like a hard floor.

So when I stuck my hand out, I think it just snapped right away.

Oh, same thing, not

Tyler Hero, right?

I think it was his wrist, though, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, but same kind of thing, yeah.

So what are you, what are you up to nowadays?

Like, you still hoop, are you still trying to hoop?

Like,

what's your,

what are you what are you doing right now uh so right now yeah i'm definitely uh you know staying ready um working out and uh getting ready for you know summer opportunities um no college uh no no college why not uh i don't know it was never a goal of mine so like yeah yeah it's never not gonna make any one now so but definitely was never one um so your clock didn't even start you you can still play if you wanted to yeah i yeah i never attended a day at college why didn't you want to play in college yeah why don't i don't know at first you couldn't like make no money from it so from like even at a kid's standpoint, I always wanted to go overseas first or

do something that made money for real.

Because

a lot of college players stay there and don't do nothing sometimes.

So

definitely.

But now with the NIL, would that change your perspective at all?

Absolutely.

It changed my perspective, but it just makes me just mad that they didn't do that a couple years ago.

You know what I'm saying?

Because they did it because of people like me and Lamella Ball, people like us for real.

So, yeah, we missed out on the bag as kids for sure.

But

yeah, it's crazy.

Definitely would do it now if you could get paid back in the day, for sure.

What was it like playing against LaMelo Ball in high school?

It was cool.

I mean,

you know, his team was one of the best in the country at the time.

What was it?

Who was it?

Chino Hills or?

No, it was Spire.

Spire Academy.

Yeah, yeah.

Ohio, something like that.

Chino Hills was the high school.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yep.

But, yeah, nah, they was just

a great team.

They beat everybody.

You feel me?

But me personally, you know, I played all right.

it was cool, though, you know, but it was just like playing anybody else because at the time, like, you know, the world was half the world,

half the world.

Uh, to be exact, like five, five, five, six.

That's crazy.

And you were shorter than.

I mean, I'm not sure.

I ain't gonna lie.

I think I've been that same height, about around that same height the whole time.

Yeah,

since like ninth grade.

I don't know why you look like extremely little, but she was balling.

Because, bro, they're huge, bro.

Everyone's huge.

Yeah, everyone's like at least 6'3, 6'4.

How tall were your parents?

My dad is about 5'6 ⁇ .

Are you 5'6 ⁇ ?

Yeah, about 5'6.

My mom's like 5'0.

And they both hooped?

Yeah, yep.

My dad and mom played in high school.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

And you were on varsity when you were what, like 12?

11.

Jesus.

11 years old.

And that's crazy.

Oh, wow.

Like varsity high school or varsity?

It was just varsity of your junior high?

Nah, it was a high school basketball team.

So I went to a private school.

Oh, so it was from 6 to 12 or something like that?

It was from K through, it was preschool through 12 to school.

But the team, you know, played real high school ball.

And we played some of the big public schools around, all the big public schools around, like some ducked us for real.

So like, but nah, at 11 years old, I was, you know,

was working out at that school.

And my dad was a coach, and they needed a point guard.

So I ended up practicing with them.

Gotcha.

And actually, you know, like, I could go, like, I could play.

You know what I'm saying?

When you got some people around you definitely at that age.

So

yeah, I was scoring a good amount.

And at one point, I had the average the most in the country for assists according to max preps.

Yeah, that's insane.

How many assists were you averaging?

I don't know.

I think it was like 13

That's a lot in high school.

Yeah, for sure.

So how do you how do you deal with a lot of like the criticism and backlash that you get people saying like you fell off and stuff like that?

Like how do you how do you deal with that mentally and does it affect you in any type of way?

Yeah, I mean, personally, you know, I've been dealing with that, I think, for a while, the same type of talk.

So it's no different, in my opinion.

But

honestly, just, you know, continuing to grow myself, whether people believe it's going on now, it's, you know, it's a

marathon, you know, not a short race, it's a long one.

So,

yeah, in a few years, people are going to see, you know what I'm saying?

But definitely how I handle it is, you know, definitely just, you know, saying you got to put God first and definitely hang around your family and grind.

But also, you know what I'm saying?

You got to like people are going to talk, you know what I'm saying?

But they talk about anything.

Do you still want to play though?

Of course, yeah.

How old are you right now?

21.

Oh, you still got time?

Definitely, yeah.

Yeah,

you still got time.

You just gotta, like, you know, just keep working for sure.

Obviously, you still got the skill set, right?

Yeah, most definitely.

Still working on everything.

Definitely.

Yeah.

I feel like you know, I'm better than ever.

Now, I just broke this, like, my thumb a couple weeks ago, but it's not too long, only six weeks.

So, but yeah,

you know, you grow until about 25, 26, so you might squeeze another two, maybe three inches out of you certain stretches.

Yeah,

I love stretching too.

Well, yeah, no, you can hang.

Hanging is one stretch that you can do to actually stretch your body

if you hang for a certain amount of time on the bar.

You'll pull a bar.

Definitely.

Do that every day.

But yeah, I mean,

you never know.

I mean, if you want the extra.

I mean, yeah, I take it.

But

I take it.

It's not.

I mean,

it could be necessary, but it's not needed.

Yeah.

I definitely, I ain't complaining if God wants to give it to me.

Right, right, right.

Who are your favorite point cards of all time?

Of all time,

it's a great question.

Great question.

Wait, is it one or is it five?

I do a couple.

I mean.

A couple.

What about three?

Three.

Three.

Okay, yeah.

Three, three, three.

I say, ever since I was young, Chris Paul was

a great of mine.

Definitely.

When I was very young, Derrick Rose,

in his prime, before he got injured,

he was something serious.

Yeah.

I was young.

Uncardable.

He was was my favorite

as a kid.

And then

I said, you got to go Allen Iverson.

You know what I'm saying?

Alan Iverson for sure.

Pendles.

Yeah.

He changed the game.

Definitely.

And I mean, he shifted the game.

He's still to this day.

Nobody's doing stuff like him

except Kyrie, really.

He'd be my fourth, Kyrie.

Kyrie, yeah, for sure.

What's your best move, like dribbling move?

I mean,

I mean, I say,

that's a good question.

A hesitation dribble.

When I was young, people used to call Carrie double dribble.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

When it was

kind of unknown,

now it's like the best move out there.

So I say that, and I definitely don't get credit as one of the youngest ones doing it back in the day.

But

Hesse God, that's how he built his.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

He had a huge impact.

Like, how do you manage,

even as it's pops?

I know you're not on camera.

Actually,

come over here.

So,

as his pops,

how do you manage some of the pressure pressure of dealing with a child phenom at that level, at that caliber?

How do you even manage all of the talking?

Because he was talking on the court, right?

You the coach.

You getting backlash on the sideline.

He balling.

They going back-to-back buggers.

How do you deal with all of that?

Yeah, I mean, it comes with the nature of the territory.

You know, I think when you have...

the media on you like he was no one's had the media on him from that young age to that nobody yeah you know so he's had the most media you know from an athlete from a young standpoint, than anybody.

And I feel once you get that media, you're gonna get all the attention, you're gonna get all the backlash, you can get all the talking.

His talking on the court, you know, that came from you know, you see the second reaction.

You don't see them talking about his mom and talking about his sister and talking about his dad, and you only see the reaction from him because you know, you only see the second reaction.

But you know, when Julian is talking, I don't think

you know, he gets on that court, change it to a whole new person.

He could talk, he's chilling now, but as soon as that kickoff happened, he on that court, he hit that first three, it's over.

Hey, it's a switch, you know, and it's a switch of being small.

You know, being small, you have to have that fire, you have to have that dog in.

You can't teach a dog, right?

You get mad at some of these NBA guys because they don't have that in them, but you need the dog in you, especially being that little.

If you're not, you know, you're just going to be stepwalked over, you know, and that's it.

Some people play better when they talk like Jimmy.

Some people do.

Some people do.

He makes the game, he made the game just way more competitive.

Like, he, I think those games were probably some of the best because, yeah, I mean, even some of the weak players was hitting threes just because he was going after Duncan Robinson.

I mean, all of a sudden, that's a yeah.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Some players that you never even thought, like, y'all, he ain't good.

He just bring that competitive nature, score, go from being, you know, 21 to 29 to 28, 29, like, just in that second, just because he just amped the game, the game's just more impactful.

So, have you always had that edge and been tough?

Like, just that just that what what is it like what's wrong

what's wrong with you

nah so like yeah always been like uh

very uh like you know like i took basketball serious on the courses young so uh anything like you know uh I take it serious any call or anything going on like it even as a kid it was the same type of uh same type of thing you know and if anybody spoke about my mom at that age it was the same thing you know but now you know it's a you're getting paid to play so it's different.

Have you ever been kicked out of a game?

I've been ejected out of a couple games, but

yeah.

But not too many for real.

Like, you think about it, it was always, I got ejected for someone like elbow me, I pushed it back.

You know, how was the reaction?

You know, the ref always sees that same reaction.

Definitely.

And, of course, yeah, no, I definitely like to run them off for sure because, you know, a lot of times when we see on the gram and stuff like that,

people be in DMs talking before the game and stuff like that.

And you are locked in.

And don't nobody know about what's going on behind the scenes, but you know, it's you talking crazy.

Like, I wake up early.

I train.

I do this every day.

Come on, bro.

I'm going to let you know it.

You know what I'm saying?

People are DMing you before the game.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

As a child,

yeah, definitely.

During camps,

he comes over to us everywhere.

Wow.

Kids wanted to play him, especially in this Vegas circuit.

Wow.

They wanted, they couldn't, bro, begging.

like nah even like you know school like some work administration like older people at schools like coaches were talking down on like a 12 year old 11 year old that's insane so do you think the fame at an early age kind of set the tone for you

um i mean i say

i i say man i just played ball my whole life it just native like it just is what it is like I play ball trained and during class I got pulled out for you know news appearances in the gym and wow all types of stuff so sometimes I barely went to school because of appearances and stuff like that but yeah it was like it was my life honestly I don't think it

you know it definitely made me

a hard worker on certain things and

it definitely inspires me to you know to keep continue to grow and keep going for sure but it definitely you know I set the tone from for me for hooping ever since like I started hooping it it's it's the competitive spirit I feel I always wanted to be the best before I was even known at all I was known as like the best kid in my city, like even before being known.

You know what I'm saying?

So, yeah.

In Vegas?

I'm from Orlando, right?

In Orlando, Florida.

How was it like having you guys had a reality show, right?

Yeah, yep.

How was that?

It was cool.

Was it annoying having cameras in your face all the time?

Like, bro.

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes it was.

It was cool, though, at first, you know, and at certain times, but

a little uncomfortable for a younger person.

Certain things, you know, certain things said, you don't want to say it.

Blows up personal relationships.

Maybe stuff like that.

But it was definitely cool.

A blessing more than anything.

But

yeah, it was cool, though.

Late nights and all that type of stuff.

That's dope.

What's next for you guys?

What's the game plan?

Yeah, right now,

actually,

I'm going to start a YouTube channel soon.

And we're working on signing for the reality show.

Oh, another season?

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

Bigger network.

Big network.

I love big network.

Nice.

Yeah.

We've been wanting to go to a big network ever since season two.

Okay.

So this is third season.

No, there's actually five seasons of Hello Newman.

Already.

There's five seasons alone.

Yeah, so ever since the second season of Hello Newman, you know, we're like, yo, you know, it's time for us to move to bigger and better platform.

You know, and they just kept us there to build their company, you know, which we did.

Now they're a billion-dollar company.

Oh, wow.

You know, and offer our backs.

So it's like,

for real?

Yeah.

Did you guys get a piece of it?

I mean, not of that.

Not of what everybody thinks, but we should have

what we should get.

So now it's like, hey, you know, it's our turn to go out there and go to that big network and get that bag that we deserve.

Damn.

So what what actually brought you guys to Vegas?

The show.

Oh, so you guys moved out here because of the show.

Wow.

And stayed.

And stayed.

Basically.

So you guys like it out here?

It's cool.

It's cool.

Yeah, I like Florida better, though, personally.

How's the ball in Vegas compared to Florida?

Is it better out here?

Uh, I wouldn't say so, no.

I say, uh, like people that are actually from here, not not at all.

I think people just might migrate here and it becomes a lot of good hoop.

But

no, I say definitely a lot better competition than Orlando, Florida for sure.

For real.

You're from here, so I wouldn't know.

I just moved here.

I mean, no, I'm from LA.

I've been here for a while, yeah.

You got certain teams that are great out here, like Liberty was great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brisbane Carter was good sometimes, but a lot of times...

You didn't play high school ball here, right?

No, I played high school ball in Florida.

Oh, damn.

If you would have played here, that would have been crazy.

What's the best state for high school ball?

It's It's a great question.

I mean, it's arguably probably Cali.

Cali, you got Texas is big.

New York got some buckets.

I say, I think Vegas is coming up.

Vegas Elite, they have a stable now.

Okay.

They're really pulling from that stable.

Vegas Elite is creating pros.

No, most definitely.

Yeah, they're creating pros for sure.

If you could play overseas, what league attracts you right now?

Dang, that's a good thing.

I'm surprised nobody included you over there yet.

I mean, I had a couple, you know, little things going on, but it just didn't meet

what we want or what we got.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

I'm not going to go over there for, you know, what people will call a lot.

You know what I'm saying?

It's a lot going on to just go out there for nothing.

So like CBA's got money, right?

The China one.

Stuff like that.

I mean, yeah, like I say, Australia is nice.

He has a brand.

So they got to let him do that while he's going to do it.

Well, no, see, the thing about it, he has a, he has, he's a, he's a draw.

So self jerseys.

Once they see him over there, you know, so I mean, but what's a lot of money and what's not a lot of money?

Oh, no, that's a good, that's a great question.

It's a lot of money because it's always more.

There's always

10 million.

And there's always more.

Nothing's ever enough.

No, but you hear about people going overseas for like what they call per diem for food and free, free living.

Yeah, see, no, I don't think that would be the case.

No, definitely not.

But I'd say, like, you know,

so if they offered you a quarter of a million, I said no.

Oh, no, I would say no, but I say, you know,

can we promote our brand?

Can we do more stuff out there?

You know what I'm saying?

Percentages of Jersey sales have to go up and stuff like that.

Fox, definitely.

You know, they probably want me doing a lot more.

So, you know, I mean, it's more like quarter million, yeah, but it probably got me working like a slave more than just hoop.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

That's what I mean.

That's what you got to do to build over.

No, definitely.

There's social media hoopers making more than NBA players right now.

Absolutely.

I'd say, yeah, I'd say it's pretty crazy.

Yeah, I mean, like the Calvin Deere twins.

Yeah, because if you think about it, bro, your following is your, that is your currency.

Having a following is currency.

Oh, for sure.

Yeah.

You have to monetize it.

It's about your reach.

Yeah.

And he has a name.

He had a reality show, bro.

Right.

Him, Mellow Ball was like the only two guys who actually had an actual show.

Yeah.

Who started their show first?

I'm not even sure.

Yeah, I don't know.

They both were.

I think it was around like the same time the same

show started.

Now, he's been around longer than Mellow, but remember Mello has Lonzo, Miller,

that are bigger at the time as well.

So it was more like, you know, he had Lonzo, Lonzo was big.

Lonzo was still big.

He could play, you know.

Are you an only child?

Nah, my sister, Jaden.

She who too?

Jaden Newman, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Jaden's the number one NIL person out there.

For real?

Yeah.

Oh,

by far.

Cavalier Twins, come on now.

They can't even hold a torch to Jaden.

Wow, seriously.

I didn't know that.

Where's she playing at?

Well, she just graduated Liberty, so she's going to Cal State.

Cal State, what?

LA.

Oh, she's going to Cal State LA?

Yeah, uh-huh.

So, yeah, man,

she's something else, but.

She's a point guard.

She's a point guard, yeah.

She really plays skateboard.

Yeah, she can really shoot the ball.

No, yeah.

On the basketball side, she can really shoot too.

Wow.

So, she get that from you?

Yo, me

get it from him.

But yeah, I'd say so.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because she's in music.

She does all

the artists.

She's everything.

She's, yeah.

So she's driving soon.

She's pretty short.

Oh, that's dope.

How good were you in high school?

Like, were you not?

I was good in high school.

Oh, for real?

Yeah, man.

We talking 20 a game?

Yep.

Okay.

Yeah.

I averaged like 17 in high school.

So, you know.

But that was like back then, honestly, like, it was better back then.

Yeah, I think basketball and

then they're more athletic.

Now, I think, yeah.

But you guys were better skill-wise, you think?

I think back then it was more of

better coaching, for one.

You know, you get the better coaching and you get the strength.

Yeah, yeah.

Not so much athleticism, but it's like older high school.

Nowadays, you can't touch nobody.

You can't do this.

You can't do that.

Everything's there.

Where, you know, back then it was, you know,

you dealt with stronger individuals, hard-nosed basketball.

Opposed to now, I can't blow on people and stuff like that.

You can't even touch some of them.

They call in tech, especially if it's the key player.

Yeah.

Wow, every time.

Yeah,

it gets crazy when it's too.

It's too technical now, right?

It's crazy.

Because I'm sure when kids were guarding you and the spotlight was on them, foul every time.

Oh, yeah.

In some cases, yes.

In a lot of cases, but then there's some games where I couldn't get it.

You know what I mean?

It was getting hot when Tex called on you.

Yeah, exactly.

Where they was like, let me play a little bit because of like, all right, a lot of refs didn't want to be that guy to call everything for me.

Yeah, the crowd interacting.

It's just one of the tall.

Yeah, or like, I feel like refs don't like

a lot.

A lot of ref was cool, but then a lot of refs don't like when certain players get recognition in in high school

coach all these games.

They ref all these games, and they're like, I mean, they did this.

Well, because you gotta think y'all have crowd control.

Yeah,

the crowd don't want nobody touching you.

They're going after ref.

Yeah, for sure.

So he got it either go with the crowd or run out the gym after the game.

It literally happens.

That was happen time.

Bro, they have crowd control.

I think I got that much stardom.

Yes.

I think a lot would have, especially with Julian, where we play most of our games on a the road because of the gym we were in.

So most of our games were we had the crowd against us and sometimes that gets the refs against you.

So that was a big opposing thing where it was terrible.

You get a lot of bad refs out there because they're going, they don't want to hear it from the fans.

They don't want to be able to walk out to their car and come home.

So that's

what happened in this case a lot.

They got to figure out how to fix that though.

Yeah.

Nah.

In high school.

AAU, bro.

That's what it's about.

AAU is about that.

It's about that park basketball style.

Yeah, for sure.

AAU has a lot of ruggedness to them, and I feel like that's why it's

so important.

Yeah.

Because y'all compete at such a high level.

Definitely.

Bro, they're competing against kids they've never seen.

Future pros.

Yeah, bro.

You're putting everything on the line and putting everything to the test.

for that summer or that weekend, bro.

These weekends, how many games y'all play in the weekend?

Maybe 10?

Sometimes 10, 11?

Yeah, weekend?

For sure.

Yeah, dude.

One day, man.

Yeah, four in one day.

Eliminator,

the second round, the third round, a process eliminated, the finalist.

And then you play the next day.

And that's just totally ridiculous.

Yeah, I've got something.

And then Sunday, you end up playing LeBron's son.

You end up playing Strive for Greatness.

Yeah, yeah.

It's just totally ridiculous to put kids through that and to do that.

That's why you have all these injuries nowadays.

You know, my daughter tore her ACL.

Oh, you know, you know, that.

Injuries happen because of that, you know, and putting stuff in that.

And AUs became such a money grabber that they don't care So they're putting three four a nine You know you're paying the teams are paying a thousand dollars to get in the tournament fifty dollars a ticket to get in for for a parent like they're gonna go see LeBron play or something like that, but it's important, you know that AAU is just yeah, bro too many games

It's so high level.

That's the highest level.

I feel like out it's this AU is the highest level of basketball that you're ever going to witness when it comes to the kids being at their not at their peak, but right there they're figuring the game out they're throwing learning how to throw alley oops it's exciting to watch it and that's like eybl i say yeah you know uh because it's like bullshit at your tournament but then you know the top ones like yeah

on the circuit stuff like that that's definitely yeah bro because you get the best around it's the best of the best competing what's eyebl eybl is

where a bunch of teams uh i say like everybody in your region you know gets together and you know you play for that you get to play with his his the main dude from another team.

They all come together and come to CD.

So it's like invite only.

And just crush each other.

Yeah, they just blow each other out.

They basically have like thirty.

Nike has like 30 teams

in the whole country.

In the whole country.

Wow.

And then it breaks down to like, you know, 16 goes to the tournament.

Yeah.

Nice or something.

It just happens to be Vegas Elite right now.

It's the number one team.

Okay.

Yeah, Nike, Nike, pretty much, when you get into that circuit, they're pretty much watching you for when you're eight years old.

Because they want to sponsor you.

that and they they kind of know you might make it or not but nike knows wow they pretty much that's smart on their end because they'll know who's gonna pop off yeah it is but they they they miss a lot of talent too don't get it twisted oh they do for sure oh they don't i feel like they do they do outside of yeah 100

because this this i feel like the summer that hey you have out here is man there's some talent there no probably yeah definitely i definitely gotta check some out especially the cash in canada now vegas gets some of the good tournaments some of the the best tournaments.

Vegas is, you know, it's a pull from everywhere.

Everyone's took Vegas.

So, where do the parents want to go?

I'd rather go to Vegas than somewhere else.

So, Vegas has a hole for the best.

That makes sense.

I haven't had the big Adidas tournament here for a while.

You know what I'm saying?

Adidas Gauntlet's big, too.

Adidas Gauntlet's big.

Is it all politics, though?

Like, how do you get in?

Absolutely.

All definitely politics.
