NextImg:11-year-old hoopster Archange Railey-Lemovou is already 6-foot-5 — and his dunks are going viral

Archange Railey-Lemovou, a 6-foot-5, 11-year-old basketball sensation from Wichita, Kansas, is making waves online with his epic dunks.

Railey-Lemovou’s highlight tapes made rounds earlier this month when his team, BNU (Believe In You) — a top-ranked nonprofit basketball organization — went undefeated in the T3TV Snowball Classic in January.

The power forward, who’s in sixth grade, was seen catching lobs and dunking in a series of videos posted by SportsCenter, Overtime and House of Highlights, among others.

Railey-Lemovou’s 11-year-old brother, Aden Railey, is a 5-foot-4 Elite 3-level guard and also a member of the class of 2031.

On Monday, the siblings committed to play in the Prep U Summer Jam II taking place at RG Sports Academy in Cincinnati in July, in a post on their joint Instagram page.

Railey-Lemovou was also dunking at age 10, as seen in videos online last year.

Railey-Lemovou described his game as physical and powerful and explained that he’s the complete opposite off of the court.

“I am a gentle giant off the basketball court,” he said, adding he enjoys drawing and reading, per his player profile on Prep Hoops.

Railey-Lemovou emphasized the importance of being a student and his involvement in his community.

“Principals honor roll and Gold card member at my school,” he said. “Gold cards are earned by having great grades and being a student of high moral and ethical character.

“My brother and I volunteer sometimes to feed homeless in our city. Also, we volunteer at youth basketball camps. We help coach 1st-4th graders at those camps.”

Railey-Lemovou also weighed in on the type of college he’s looking for.

“One that complements my play style and will help push me to get to the next level,” he added.
