"amateur" might be a tad misleading, as the white kid is a well known streetballer, but still a good vid

Well, he doesnt get paid for it, Harris does. I think that is the definition right ;-) It wouldnt be possible if the guy wasnt good and therefor known. Always makes my heart warm and fuzzy to see that you dont need to get paid millions to be an excellent sportsman.

In fact, even if you get paid millions you're not necessarily an excellent sportsman. "Getting tired out here!" - nice excuse at the end

Tanner's response to this vid (from Times Online):

Mr Tanner said that Harris probably underestimated him because of his casual clothes. “My brother asked him and Devin looked at me in my jeans and jumper and probably thought I was no threat at all,” he said. “He missed and I scored my first hoop, which made him suddenly show me some respect. He stepped up the second time and was defending properly but I managed to pull out a trick and bounce it through his legs and score again.

“It was a bit embarrassing for him as you shouldn’t ever really get beaten like that but he took it really well and was very nice about it. I don’t want to be a big head about this. I was excited and amazed when I saw that one hundred thousand people had watched the video.

“I haven’t played seriously for five years, I never made it as a professional and all of a sudden everyone is talking about me, which is amazing.”

I think it's a little unfair to bash Harris. Anyone can have an off-day, but I think Harris has proven with his career that he can be consistently good in the long run--something Tanner was unable to do apparently. But who knows, maybe after the past 5 years he's become more consistent. Certainly seems like it's worth a shot for him to try out again for a team. I just like the fact that he's humble about it.
