He literally said he had people in his life who were advising against what he was doing. Did you not listen past the first 5 minutes? But you can’t change someone, they ultimately need to make those decision out of their own will power.

Exactly, it's revisionist history. Lenny did it to himself. Plus he was 19-20 his senior year of highschool.

Finally, someone who gets it.

still doesnt matter he averaged 31pts 15rebs Lebron wasnt never close to that stats

@@kimberlysilva1345Lenny 20 year senior

Finally someone has written the truth

Please. 🙄

@@gameday9912 you got the wrong post

Fo show. He a strong dude. Didn't break even though he missed some great opportunity. You what they say. We live and we learn.

@@zacapa.reviews.videos facts most couldn't handle that pressure of failure

I watched it last summer. Damn that shit was powerful. I love it when he said "my name is Leonard. They started all that Lenny shit" felt that. Never got to do it his way. Also loved when he checked his NY boys for never visiting and showed love to joakim "that's the only nigga to visit me and he a millionaire nigga" 💯

The documentary 10 years old tho?

@@gameday9912 yeah it came out in 2012 I'm pretty sure. Maybe 2013. He entered his name in the 2002 draft so it was like a ten year follow up to see what he'd been up to.

Watched it once, and never again.. that was depressing..

@@bbryant9455 “I’m Leonard” doesn’t mean shit. Lenny and Leonard doesn’t change your life decisions and piss poor attitude. Niggas only say that when it don’t workout. Cause he was proudly “Lenny” in high school. Never got to it it his way? Umm.. the bad decisions was HIS way, not anyone else’s.

He only accepting this in public so he can make appearances and speeches for money. He’s still a bum.

Facts.. but even when you have people like that it's incredibly difficult to have perspective when you're a teenager surrounded by people telling you that you're about to be a a millionaire and excetera

they do that for ja morant then blk folks saying that people are being hard for him

Everyone tries to pull him aside. He just did not want to hear it. A rich white lady even adopted him and brought her in her rich New Jersey house and he left because some agent floated him 350K. Watch his movie, coaches, teachers, everyone was telling him to do the work and chill but he just wanted to skip the work, party and wanted the money.

Ol dude I went to EOHS with was another. He even played for JC Smith and was cooking VUU with Ben Wallace.

19 year old vs 15 and 16

This what happens when you peak in highschool lol man was comparing himself to sophomores fr

Melo also

look at Ja morant he’s the example

It was Lebron & Melo who saw Lenny throw his talent away & they decided to do better. At the time Lenny was better than both of them

Man LeBron has a fabricated legacy.

Jalen rose did more for detroit than lebron ever did...yet everyone kisses his ass..and no one mentions jalen rose or the 100 other black guys who were solid

He averaged 26pts 5rebound as a grade 9 stsydent playing against grade 12(senoirs) by the time he was a senior he averaged 31.2pt 15 rebounds. go check Lebron stats as a senoir and jnr he never had that type of stats.

Was he really that guy or that guy that was older than everybody. He was simply older and lacked a skill set. This is why he didn’t make the league. If we’ll known crackheads like Richard Dumas (Phoenix) and Lloyd Daniels (Spurs) can get the opportunity so could have Lenny. He wasn’t good enough.

@@gameday9912 🧢

💯

U tweaking Bron class was b4 Telfair. Cooke class was 1 year ahead of bron

@@JamesChamp-ze7zp Telfair came out in 2001…Bron came out in 2003. Lenny was 2002 class

@_librahbadd What Hate smh its called REALITY and LIFE. Lenny Cooke is wasting time in LIFE living in the past SMH.

Pauseeeeee

If you watched his doc....he was immature at almost 30....he wanted to go out to the club with joakim noah...Noah was like sorry man my games not there yet, later

You people want to make everyone that smells lebron. Be on his level

LeBron doesn't really know him. They literally played that one game against each other. To Lenny, that was a defining moment in his life. To LeBron, it was another camp...

Haha…“You can’t tell me nothin’” -Kanye

Yeah but the difference is ja already made it. He’s a multi.

@@stevelumumbashabazzz5087 Which makes the situation even worse for Ja. Lenny never had that type of money so you can't miss what you never had. Ja seeing the money & opportunities running away. Ja can fix it because his issues are pretty much self inflicted and he's still young.

@@donniealexander993 it’s not worse what makes you think Kenny would have lasted long in the NBA this dude thought he was already him before making to the league, now imagine with the NBA moNey? He would have been worse than ja. We saw the tapes this dude had a bad attitude ja wasn’t like that before entering the league

He very well spoken for a hood nigga? He don’t deserve shit and these dumb kids these days will watch it and still be the fuck ups they were destined to be.

Bro come on, that’s a story you like telling people like you could’ve been a contender. You were d2, you had no chance of going pro

Where did you play

@@MC-kj7dy not true...I also played baseball at that level....some conferences turn out pros...juco as well

@@SR-hf3hx all old heads could’ve played pro 😆 get some self awareness bro. You were never good.

@@MC-kj7dy you need to do research....and im not old...hundreds of high school players are picked in the 1st round of the mlb draft....this isn't basketball or football

Yup. And in the same class. Nobody talks about that. Dude should have been out of school for 2 yrs at that point

@@Bigitaly44 Lenny was 02 and bron was 03

​@@Obstakill cooke was still older and a senior. Lebron was 2 years away from draft night

​@@teresamcgee-vd2uc yeah because he was a year ahead of bron 🤦‍♂️ lol and he was good not just because he was older. He legit wouldve went with bron,wade,melo,and bosh in that draft. You saw melo on the documentary with lenny saying how much he was avg and how much he wanted to be as good or better than lenny. Lenny just hung around the wrong crowd. And to people defending ja,this is exactly why he shouldnt be doing what he is doing. The nba/nfl and all conglomerates or big mega corporations have divisions/jobs that are strictly to follow or watch over what youre doing at all times. Think johnny manziel. Dude partied too much and still got a chance but they let him go in harshest way because he not only partied too much but he was supposed to be the first mahomes after the kapernick success of the rpo style offense while johnny wouldve thrown like mahomes in a sense, and run like kap. Then look forward and see mahomes,hurts,lamar,murray,and etc are all where nfl want the game to be. Its more than ranking and highlights in these procedures

@@HurrikaneBEA5T uh my point is saying he was Ranked higher without context is disingenuous. Lebron was 16 Lenny was an adult already.Lenny could've been in the league true nuff..but he filed for the draft in 02 not 03 with Melo etc

Dam that’s too bad 😞

Chill💀💀😂

😂😂😂

No. He just wasn’t good enough. The nba will deal with talented players who do way worse

That’s already under contract! Nobody will sign a head case which you are paying on potential!

Cuz neither on were good enough for the league?

Accepting it for documentary, appearances, speeches and shows like Sway for money and notoriety. In private I bet he still blames LeBron, the Celtics, Debbie, Foxy Brown, Sonny Vicaro, Adidas and everybody else. .

@@gameday9912 yeah I’m sure it’s still some resentment, but at the end of the day he see where he was at fault

Facts. He was older than everybody. He was declared ineligible for his senior year because he was too old for high school.

He was better

@@JayM-cu6pb naw he was just older

​@@vjones34exactly, cook was still playing against kids at 18-19.. LeBron was ROTY in the NBA at 18, an all-star at 19-20.. Shouts to Lenny though, had he taken the game more serious, he probably could've been a good hooper in the league. Now he's relegated to talk about what he could've been.

@@kingnatesr.5078 exactly I remember seeing him back then..he needed education and his attitude was terrible

Shut up smh The d riding of todays culture is so disgusting

low key said he scored 11 to mase & cam, this interview had to bump it up to 13 and said "he ran out of gas" lol

@@joeworldstar In reality it was 9 points the whole game. Also he said Kobe spoke to him personally, but in the other interview he said Kobe spoke to him indirectly.
