Is Julian Newman entering the 2024 NBA Draft? Let’s decode the tweet.

Julian Newman is a basketball player who gained fame at a very young age. Born in 2001, Newman's talent was evident early on. By fifth grade, around 2012, he was already playing varsity basketball for Downey Christian School in Florida. His exceptional skills for his age were captured in highlight videos that went viral on YouTube.

The viral fame brought mixed reactions. Julian was seen as a child prodigy because of his impeccable basketball skills. In the meantime, there was a section of people who dismissed the training methods used by his family to gain fame. 

Rising above the controversy, Newman achieved success. He became the youngest player to score 1,000 career varsity points by seventh grade. He also completed high school at Prodigy Prep in 2020 with 6,247 points under his belt.
