Cardinal Hayes High School star and soon to be UNC Tar Heel Ian Jackson Ian Jackson isn't your typical Cardinal Hayes High School basketball player and the basketball player my goal is to be a number one draft and not going to college that's two years from now um just understanding I'm still going to play in the moment so I'm still in high school I still got things to do here some basketball and sports accounts from YouTube to tick tock call Jackson the greatest basketball player to come out of New York City kind of trying not to looking too much but I must be grateful for it to be recognized as I can be one of the best players to ever come out of New York it doesn't seem like anything stresses them out to his credit he's pretty laid-back kid pretty humble kid it's been a unique season for head coach Joe lodes with college coaches attending almost all their games when the coaches come around it's weird it's like the kids realize right away you see him all of a sudden they start running a little faster and playing a little harder but it seems to have helped the Cardinals what are your goals while you're still at Hayes are the winner is moving on the championship that's why I fight uh the main one for me uh recently I scored a thousand points so now I'm chasing Mass burn it's gonna be the all-time scorer in the Bronx [Applause] record [Music] s more ladies and gentlemen [Applause]

easy yes Hotel Western Grand Central Tesla taxi yeah no we never seen that that's like the regular car for that wow when did this why why'd they switch like do you know the reason just because the gas problem probably just gas but it just like a better model yeah I mean these taxi drivers they're just leveling up now yeah I got uh I think I think Jamal has one but what you need for today's tomorrow [Music] but it's not good to think of this because like the crowd is like yeah it's not as good because like not that much people yeah so the garden is just legendary yeah the Garden is like I gotta get in a garden so but Barclays was tough though it was like about 100 people or it's like 100 people and stuff like nobody's there all right look every corner yo I got to a point where it's like stop feeling like I was doing it so often it's like it wasn't like it was regular like the difference was dead or more so I was like I'm gonna drink juice I'm doing it again to get that sense of feeling if that makes sense [Music] give me five over tomorrow [Music] at 10 times you're not serious right now against nobody else every Saturday [Laughter] don't do that because he a girl what does that mean she can't go ahead Elite bro and she washes all right [Music] thanks thanks bro [Music] I was dead gonna take that tire and then I see now that's the guy's name on it that's why I didn't take it

haircut [Music] you like it in the car yeah I'm about to take the bus say the Earth here [Music] I don't like it you don't like Bryce James thank you [Music] I said Cunningham classic 2024 from West Orange New Jersey um for the most part it's a safe place it's a couple spots all around Jersey like you go to the beach uh you can go to amusement parks water parks and everybody in Jersey just chill like I feel like Jersey people have like a certain attitude with them but like we all like connect kind of like in the same way like we're able to get along with each other and we all we're like familiar with each other in comparison to New York a lot less busy I feel like New York is a lot more active than Jersey is um you know always like people hopping on the trains and all that like not a lot of people do that in Jersey as much as New York and I feel like like I said with Jersey I feel like New York people got a different attitude with them too it's like every state got their own type of Personality really you don't really go to New York not really I I do live really close to New York but I don't I don't really go over there unless it's for like basketball or something like early in the morning or something or like two days not really but that that like waking up early and all I didn't start to like high school or maybe like yeah like high school but like for me as a young kid it's like on the weekends you know you wake up you're excited you're like what are we what are we doing today with your friends and then what your dad tells you now you can't go out at this time you got to go to the gym that's like like dang I don't I don't want to go to the gym right now I want to hang with my friends but waking up like crazy schedule didn't start till like high school what was your schedule High School I started doing like like two days um I would have I would have workouts and then I'll have practice and then after practice I have to get extra shots up so I feel like in my trainer he's like he he makes sure I stay on top of my stuff but you don't let me slack at all so Not only was it my parents hard on me but my my trainer as well he treats me like I'm his little brother and make sure I'm doing what I've got to do are there like other motivations like you kind of want to take care of your family or you kind of just love the game really just loving the game I feel like with a lot of players everybody's like main reason they want to take care of their parents but like for me it's like my parents really don't need me to make it like they're gonna be fine so it's really just me loving the game and me wanting to do it for myself like no one really pressures nah I feel like that's something a decision I make of my own to keep going like if you stop playing basketball I feel like my parents and my coaches would definitely be disappointed because I put a lot of time hard work and effort into all of this and it's like if you if you was doing all that why stop so like I mean I feel like now I'm I'm too deep in to stop I'm doing it for myself at this point I'm doing it for my for my my family my coaches because they all been through the Journey with me like we all put a bunch of time into this [Music] definitely a lot of a lot of their time they they spent a lot of their time taking me to tournaments practices missing work missing family events stuff like that yeah you know they got to take time off to go travel at the tournaments that they got to stay like four days away I feel like those are big sacrifices [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] together okay be nice today [Music] it's all right I want aloe water I'm not gonna lie to you thank you a woman or milkshakes [Music] best gas station on the East Coast for sure that's another lie I said I hate liars nothing right food that's what the street says that's what they told me he said the streets that you only eat Jazz it up no I'm not gonna go ahead shut up but you know I ate belly food all right I'm good with you oh yeah I forgot New York you can't catch him nah you're not supposed to it's illegal but it's illegal here a certain percentage so you can't go two dollars oh yeah also it's not really too normal out here I mean it's normal but we usually know that cars are tense yeah like a certain cars that ride around with tents and you can look at it like yeah down with two right some people just be doing it to do it but other people just it's really cold out here yes it's actually dumb cold Nick who's that Nick in the cut what's up what's going on brother you good chilling chilling you ready for tomorrow yeah do it all I hear is no okay I ain't got a little hang time now this boy was Tom yeah before it was just in one spot I got a little handcuffs for the game tomorrow you're not paying me I can't say nothing sure I got it on though hey yo Keith good looking no doubt get up with you you better get them out yeah yeah let's go for sure with you [Music] depends on your waist slow it down was there ever like a live channel one that made you work uh very hard um I feel like one of the the biggest like reality checks I've had was like my the summer going into my high school year I played in like a summer league game and I'm playing against the oil the older dudes bigger dudes because I'm used to Middle School basketball you know they just bumping me around like I'm not there pushing me around I'm getting tossed around so I was like I told my dad like I like that like we gotta do something about that so that's when he started taking me to the gym and that's when I started to get stronger and being able to hold for my own out there so that was like one of the biggest like reality checks I've had probably um they probably expect me to just sit in the gym all day and watch basketball all day like that's not what I do at all I like spending a lot of time with my friends because I don't get that much time to spend with them so what I do you know I really take advantage of it like this summer I feel like the longest I've been home in a in a row was like five days I've been on planes almost every other weekend traveling going all over the place I don't really get to see my friends it's like when I'm not in the gym and I'm with my friends I like to spend as much time with them as I can so to clarify even though you have had a decent life you're still not rich yet nope not at all got a long way to go you think that makes it even more humble yeah definitely you know growing up you see all these like cartoons and shows and that's like that's always like every kid dream be rich and famous with all these cars big house I feel like I actually have a chance to be there so that's that's something I'm gonna take advantage of like I have that opportunity I'm gonna make the most of it [Music] [Music] I feel like money for for high schoolers like myself has just like become a new thing so like you know when I've been playing basketball the last however many years it's been I've never been worried about money so I don't know why I would change my mindset now and like my parents my parents always tell me they're like just take care of your business on the court and they're gonna handle everything off the court like don't even worry about that what do you think and what do you learned from like the past New Jersey that were like hot in the city some some players there was reasons to it um they didn't stay focused and some it's just like not everybody as good as all these players were not everybody is like that being not for everybody there's other routes you can go and still be professional and play basketball but like I feel like everything happens for a reason everybody everybody pass is different [Music] um I
