Yo, Money, It’s Gotta Be the…Onesie?

Well, yes, a bit of time was spent this past weekend (and last week at work) watching some basketball. And yes, as someone involved with the Harper’s Index, I’ve expended a good deal of energy trying to determine what impact the Tournament has on the nation’s economic picture (have yet to find a reliable study; stay tuned).

In that light, then, I want to share this video of Mark Walker, a preschool basketball phenom who was put under contract by Reebok in 2003 when he was 3 years old. Check him out. Good touch. Form could use a bit of work, but maybe his Pull-Ups were full on that pull-up (jumper–the shot, not the garment). Nice headband.

Anyone know what happened to this kid? I couldn’t find anything.

    Thanks for the link. Very perky little site. Though I do like this last line, which we should use here on DadWagon: “Mark would also like to give a special thanks to all of his fans visiting the website today. He thinks you’re the best!!”
