A towering high school basketball star dominating the court in the nation's capital has much more than a height advantage, a startling new report has revealed.

Junior Etou, who is originally from the Congo, is the talk of the town in Washington, DC, where he plays power forward for the Bishop O'Connell High School Knights.

But the 6'7" high school senior, who has drawn interest from several colleges with storied basketball programs, is almost legally allowed to drink.

An investigation by Deadspin.com found several different birthdays listed for Etou, both in 1992, which means he is just months away from his 21st birthday.

The site reported that Etou, whose full name is Luc Tselan Tsiene Etou, has appeared on rosters for three Congo-based teams, which list his birthday as being either June 4, 1992 or April 6, 1992.

State-controlled media can background-check a high school basketball player, but not Obama.

Lie after lie after lie with Obama.

I thought birtherism was bad especially against people of colour.

Poor writing. Since when does "several" mean 2?

[Da Coyote]

So his background doesn’t fit his resume.

Who gives a smelly Obama.

The Obamadork (aka “pointy-eared-b*stard”- PEB) has the patent on lying about his background.

And we reap the presidential benefits of an average IQ libtard who’d be fired from running a lemonade stand were it not for the fact that he’s a quota baby.

Having just been to Rwanda - which borders Congo - and seeing how most people live, I’m surprised they know how old the young man really is.

That’s hilarious bc apparently Coach Joe Wooten, the Bishop O’Connell coach, has likened the inquiries into this kid’s date of birth to BIRTHERS asking for Obama’s birth certificate~!! THis was the topic of conversation on the local drive time radio station this AM.

...common sense comment of the day.

[frizzled]

Lying in Washington DC? I'm shocked, shocked!

I wonder if he pitched for the Congo's Little League World Series team?

Japan used to be notorious for using over age kids...........

That was actually Taiwan.

Fernando Valenzuela pitched for the Dodgers claiming to be young upcoming pitcher but he looked older than he claimed and looked even older after a couple of years.

There were rumors at the time that the man pitching was NOT who the Dodgers claimed he was.

He has also been known to use the name Harrison J. Bounel. </sarc>

He'll probably try to blame George W. Bush as well.

Think you are right on this one...there was a time when Taiwan was ‘unbeatable’ in LL World Series and I think they even changed the rules to ‘guarantee’ an American team in the finals, which wouldn’t be necessary if it was strictly American.
Do WE partake in the German LL World Series etc...?

Also think one of the countries involved with the age thing was it was claimed everyones birthday was Jan 1 or something like that?

"State-controlled media can background-check a high school basketball player..."

I don't know about that. Is Deadspin part of the state controlled media?

[matginzac]

No WONDER Bishop Ireton never does well in basketball...
should be getting students from Africa...
just like getting a US president from there.
