Ten one-of-a-kind youth hoopers near three million for Courtside Films

A month-old countdown of unusual young players is doing the heavy lifting, while a fresh reel of shifty moves had a modest start.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Top 10 Most Unique Youth Basketball Players 😳

On an ordinary day, Courtside Films draws a little over 160,000 views. Right now it is running closer to 210,000, and most of the lift comes from a video posted almost a month ago.

"Top 10 Most Unique Youth Basketball Players 😳" is close to three million views and still picks up tens of thousands more every day. Its tags hint at the mix: tall players, big guards, trash talk. It is a reminder of what Johnny Hines, Eric Hines and Darrell Coleman built the channel on, nationwide coverage of high school and younger players filmed courtside.

Two other recent uploads keep it company. One follows a player who stood 5'0 as a high school freshman and ended up starting at point guard for North Carolina. The other is a "where are they now" update on NBA kids.

The week's two new videos were quieter. "SHIFTIEST BASKETBALL MOVES CAUGHT ON CAMERA!" is a compilation of crossovers and ankle-breakers. Its comments are mostly viewers spotting themselves and correcting who is in which clip, and one asks whether the crew goes to every game to film. An earlier upload from a showcase of top eighth graders, tied to the channel's fall camps, has had a slower week.

Among American sports creators of a similar size, the big weeks belong to Mikerophone and The Deep 3. Adam Botkin is running cooler than usual, and Courtside Films sits comfortably above its own normal pace.
