Aquille Carr: Short but Dangerous

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 13 January 2012 9:16 AM

The Washington Post profiles Aquille Carr on its front page this morning. Carr is a standout high school basketball player, known locally as the “Crimestopper,” with NBA dreams. He averages 30 points a game, has a vertical leap on 48 inches, is a YouTube sensation (his Hoops mix tape has been viewed almost 3 million times), and has been called “the country’s most electrifying high school player.” He’s also 5 foot 7.

The Post notes that there have been only three players—Spud Webb, Muggsy Bogues and Earl Boykins—of similar height who had successful NBA careers. But Carr is undaunted. Check out his mix tape below and you might see why he’s so confident.
