Dribbling two basketballs at once might sound like a simple task but takes immense hand-eye coordination to do that. Now, a video of a toddler masterfully dribbling two basketballs is going viral.
The undated video was posted on X by a popular account Rex Chapman (@RexChapman) on Monday. The watermark over the video shows that the clip was first shared on Sina Weibo, China’s biggest social media platform.
While sharing the clip, Chapman wrote, “Y’all, this baby is really dribbling two basketballs at once…”. This clip has gathered over 1.1 million views. In the comments, many people jokingly tagged football clubs and urged them to book the young player shown in the video.
Commenting on the video, a person wrote, “This is an amazing feat of hands-to-eye coordination bc often the ball bounces fall out of tempo. This is extremely difficult to do, even for an adult athlete.” Another person wrote, “Is this real or an #AI created hallucination? I doubt that most adults I know could do this. If real, next stop: #NBA! 😉”.
In February this year, Henry Speedwell, an elementary school student, from Chicago, US, managed to dribble a basketball for one hour, 20 minutes and 1 second while wearing a blindfold. He broke the record of the “longest duration dribbling a basketball blindfolded”, set by serial record-breaker Christian Roberto López Rodríguez on February 13, 2021, by 13 minutes.
