Enjoy this video... ❤️🙏

I'm really happy that Tristan stuck with his decision, regardless of what his decision would be. In the course of everyone's life, come certain A-or-B options, which we must decide upon. Neither option is wrong, except perhaps in minds of others. It's not their future; it's Tristan's future. And Tristan simply answered the question of what would fit best for him--of which choice would offer him the best shot at long-term happiness. I also feel that his Father, after initially feeling disappointed, paused and did some soul-searching of his own. Consequently, Tristan's Father likely concluded that his Son did possess the emotional maturity required to make his own decision in this matter. So he relented and fully supported Tristan's choice, despite backlash from others. It seems to me that ultimately, everyone involved in supporting the mere fact that Tristan did make his decision, is happy and satisfied.

now i understand y

Right behind the most frequent question... WTF is up with that hairstyle?

GRgone wasn't guaranteed but neither was going anywhere after college. They were both a Gamble and he rolled the right dice. Congrats on your success TJass and best of luck with your future!

crazy story bro.. keep working man

Let's be real, dude was a 5'8 PG that's why he didn't go D1 and chose GRgone. Easy choice. How many legit offers he could've committed on did he have? 247 is only showing Iowa. The rest were probably Mid Majors or worse. Let's not act like this dude turned down a potential NBA career go make GRgone videos. It was an easy choice. Crossing dudes at Venice Beach is a totally different ball game then high level D1 ball.

Happy for you Tristan...your the Naruto and bread winner of ur clan🗣🗣🗣

Not even 3mil subs.?? Coulda made the nba

"Education can't replace happiness".. Wow.. The dumbest thing i heard this year. Education is the road to happiness. Did he not educate himself to play basketball like this? Yes he did. Without education (which means commitment to a subject or subjects to a higher level), you can work in Walmart and be "happy".

No he didn’t play college bball Bc he wasn’t athletic and big enough 🤦‍♂️ truth hurts

Why I didn’t play college basketball: Prob no offers and sucked

Why don’t do both

bro the answer is your not good enough,,,......???? XD

It was on this day I learned TJass perms his hair haha

You’re a very wise soul. I understand the feeling of having to make a decision like that and my family has always had their elders make the decision of which way to go in life but if we choose it on our own it’s what teaches us and grows our intuition stronger. Stay blessed 💯😎

Simple answer he just isn't good enough lol

Do it because it makes you happy. Don’t do it because you’re told to.

I like how his name is bucket

Much respect to his dad for supporting him, but this dude could never play D-1. A small D-1 school and probably would still be a bench warmer. Question, has anyone on here played D-1, or played over seas? I don’t think you guys know what it’s like to be a D-1 player! Compare him to the Professor, the professor is better and never got a shot in College, look up Dvontay Friga, he played D-3 and would kill Tristan. My cousin was a great Basketball player. He had handles, could jump, play defense which most guys can’t play anymore! He was a 6’6 guard/forward. He went D-3. I’m not saying Tristan is garbage, or anything like that, but you guys are talking D-1, overseas, NBA, etc... That’s just crazy talk!!! If he was 6’3, or taller and could jump, play defense he would have a much better shot.

Just found this guy amd watched few videos what I like best is he's respectful.. lot of kids especially with his talent don't have respect for others.... to be honest I got 2 young boys and lil girl amd im gonna be showing my boys his stuff including this video today!!!!! Keep up the great work man and your story and work ethic is inspiring!!!!!!!

Because you weren’t good enough! Simple!

🔥🔥🔥 I f***ing love this!! 💯💯💪😎

🖐🏼 🎤

Bruh you telling me that you chose to make GRgone instead of playing D1 lmao bruh just say you was too small and that’s it

No doubt he can play ball, but at the college level, he's an average player, im talking about being at a major college, at a small college he could potentially start, but let's say Duke ,Kentucky etc. He might not even make the team and he's really good I mean he's made something of himself despite not going to college, I guess my point is there are so many talented guys like him and as ģood as they are they still aren't on a pro level. Nba players are Elite, this sounds disrespectful but I have alot of respect for this kid because he made a future for himself no matter whatever he gets he's absolutely earned, hopefully people understand this comment

He is not from Canada.

You didn't go to northeastern

U would be great in the nba

You didn’t play college basketball cause you 4ft, white, and not that good lol

Fuck yeah bro. I just found you within the last year man and I fw your content heavy. Your dope and the energy you carry is genuine. I think back to the video of you buying your pops a whip and it brought tears to my eyes because that's a goal of mine. And the fact that you've chosen the path you're on despite all the negative feedback through the process is amazing. Love this for you bro. Stay blessed 🙌🏼

Probably the same reason he can't win a bum meme league championship

aye man u a great guy, thank for choosing yt, u truly bless us

Just watched this for the first time... shit gave me goosebumps! Great video, believe in yourself, invest in yourself!! Love it

Basketball is entertaining - you can entertain anywhere if you have the drive and talent - Tristans an entertainer. Clearly.

quick overall; he wasn't good enough

Basketball is life but sometimes there’s more to basketball

Awesome video man, well done for choosing what you felt

Glad it worked out for you mate, anyone watching this though in the same situation. Go to school hahaha

Your brother trying to so hard to act talk ghetto and act hard 😂😂😂 little boy doesn’t even look at the camera when talking what a clown. And surprised you didn’t interview your mom?

His dad is cool asf

If he went to college I'm sure his grades would've been an issue since he was wanting to do GRgone as well. Solid intuition. Basketball and GRgone? Maybe. Basketball, GRgone, & class? Speaking as a college grad..No way.

Great vid you honestly made the right decision and I just listened to Yung Trench he’s not bad 🔥

Because you weren’t good enough quit the cap

Tristan’s brother.... lol i really couldn’t understand tf he was saying the entire time. Like bro you would be more cool if i could actually understand you

This was an intriguing story. But he totally missed out on the biggest opportunity to no only play college basketball, but to further his future to get a college degree and a possible chance to make some noise in the NBA. Education should always be priority one. Basketball should be priority two. A waste of content that I really enjoyed watching (somewhat...).

right off the bat, I have to say I don't know a lot about this guy other than seeing a couple of his vids pop up on my feed of late, which I've watched and thought were OK ... but congrats to this kid for making a tough decision and backing himself - it also sounds like he has a lot of drive ..... however, to play devils advocate, an education is for life and is something you will always have and can use, it's yours and no one can take it away ... on the other hand, GRgone is not his and the platform and technology can be taken away or easily changed in the blink of an eye, and he has no control over... plus what will he do when his b/ball ability and athleticism starts to leave him as he gets older? does he make vids about other things ? I hope he does or starts to ... plus, I'm not sure his b/ball skills would stand up to top level or second tier b/ball , it might with some good coaching, but I just see a typical street baller at this stage - albeit a half-decent one ...

Why is this the title??? He clearly was an average undersized high school player who got fame from lay ups and then really became a great hooper after high school so why would anyone ask this question?

This video was fire, love your story man. Music was intense af

I'm sure if the D1 scholarship came from a blue blood school like UNC, Duke, Kentucky or UCLA we wouldn't be having this discussion. He would be on that roster. Bottom line he is not good enough and not willing to grind to play on that elite level. Also , don't give me the height discussion because there were guys shorter than him that played at these schools and earned millions in the NBA or played internationally.

get that money buddy! you can go to college after!

Cool, now every time someone asks, we can send them this video.

This is awesome. Takes a big heart to take risks

Cuz you were good enough. End of story. D1 no way. Maybe Junior College. I played against some sorry D1 school when i was in college and the 12th man playin recreationally was the 12th man on team but in the gym with "regulars" dude was clearly the best in the gym. I hope this dude stayed and completed college at least.

Don’t know who Tristan is but ‘in the back of my head’ was something else..

The parsimonious scorpion ecologically phone because note remarkably paint amid a decorous october. erratic, obscene colombia

Why the dramatic music though?

This a great example of choosing a lifestyle you love rather than an imposed lifestyle. This the formula for truly loving life. Magnetic Mind manifest that which you choose...

cause only garbage colleges at best would want him thats why.. only the real who have played ball threw there life would understand

Don't forget about the ones who were there from the beginning.

Cuz you’re doody

his brother n dads lack of eye contact are bothering me lmao

He simply chose money and being popular over education

Something weird about kids saying best decision ever made in his life. How you know? Didn’t you just finish high school little while ago. Nobody hits harder than life. But kids named “Yung trench” got it down already lol ok then.

Short answer you weren’t good enough

Beautiful video, as an ex competitive athlete this was super emotional in a good way. Well made

super G video. I imagine all the peeps speaking in the video still help out and support the channel. that's dope ish my G 🔥

KeepGrinding bro💪💪 Much Love from ur hometown Kenosha WI

And now my man's can pay for his own college education (should he feel the need or desire for an education) with his pocket change 3 times over probably, thats the true beauty of this. His success has brought not only him and his family success, but has opened up the door for other opportunities for success and new passions. I can't even lie tho even with the benefit of hindsight I personally, would've taken the scholarship😭😭💀 (and probably ended up some semi miserable office desk worker making good money but devoid of happiness...and that's *IF* I didn't flunk out lmfaooo). Big props.

Bro good stuff love the grind fam A+ bro YOU SHOULD HAVE WENT TO COLLEGE BRUH NO EXCUSE!!! But again you are successful but props for following your dreams!

Who els from Kenosha

One time Tristan came to my school, I will never forget that

If you watch this and don’t respect this man grind and love for the game ...

I WATCHED ALOT OF YOUR VIDS.....GO OVERSEAS......$$$$ YOU CAN STILL DO YOU TUBE.....LOOK AT OLD SCHOOL VIDS OF THESE PPL.....SPUD WEBB....MUGSEY BOGUES.....J WILLIAMS......YOU ARE YOUNG.....WOW......I SEE SOMETHING.......YOUR DADS MY AGE...WOW....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤔

Damn that’s deep legit was like this the whole time 😳

netflixdoc

Respect, dude can ball.

Why hasn’t this video blown up more than it already has.

I thought his name was TJ and was just using ass to taunt his name on purpose but his last name is just Jass

Wild-BALLIN CUZ YT

this video hit different, especially with the music towards the end, great video tho

Don’t need college to be successful 💯

Interview some of the people who said you were an idiot for this choice

I think you should be in nba but your right they restrict you of your talent Nd contracts come with laws and media restrictions

Deadly story

*i don't like to do homework* We all feel the same bro

Brennan has a lot to hide, he talks like no one else in his family and never looks at the camera once

If what I read is accurate he makes $750 a day just from GRgone. I'd say he made the right choice.

Wait why dont you go to the NBA

Now I'm not sure if I should continue my dream to go d1

38,000 a year x 4 years =152,000 for a BA... that is f...k up

I hate school

prob good thing he stayed on youtube.Kid woulda gotten murked in college

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Have a blessed day, brothers and sisters in Christ!

This just inspired me to take my gaming and much more seriously

Damn brand new school and starting Point guard as a freshman. You could of made your history with that school. It's not always about the money when comes to sports it's about leaving your legacy. You will see as you get older. But glad everything has worked out for you so far.

Let’s be honest. He wasn’t going pro and many college athletes don’t go pro. They do get an education and are able to then get a job or start a business. He has built a brand and a business. Bravo! Production value on the video is great!

Education can't replace happiness

So good !

I need to know this
