Maybe you went out of town for the long weekend and missed Sunday's New York Times. If so, check out this interesting read on 11-year-old Julian Newman, a fifth-grade basketball phenom who starts for a high-school varsity basketball team in Florida. Newman became a star online thanks in large part to the YouTube video, above, which has been viewed more than 2.5 million times.
