This Toddler’s Basketball Trick Shots Are So Impressive, You’ll Probably Think the Video Is Fake
College scouts better start keeping an eye on this ridiculously talented toddler. Titus began shooting baskets shortly after learning to walk, and now he has mastered the “trick shot.”
“Amazing shots from a kid (Titus) between 18 and 24 months old. He began shooting baskets shortly after learning to walk, we started filming some, and then got totally carried away,” the toddler’s parents write.
“This is the trick shot video that makes other trick shot videos look like a bunch of old guys who should have something better to do — like retire, turn up their pacemakers, or join an assisted living facility.”
In a compilation video uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, Titus can be seen making impressive off-the-wall trick shots, sinking baskets on 3 ft to 7 ft rims and even draining buckets laying on his back. The video currently has nearly 50,000 views.
Watch the video below and enjoy Titus’s basketball skills and cuteness:

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 7:01amNow if he could just learn a killer cross-over-while-traveling move, and develop a keen sense of selfishness, ball-hogging, and entitlement….. he could play in the NBA!

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 7:13amYeastinfection: You forgot that he has to train to father numerous children without paying child support, learn how to shoot a gun holding it perpendicular to the ground, rape, burglarize, steal, gang attack others, stab, etc., etc.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 6:43amI just love how every video on The Blaze is viral. Viral is like when Old Spice launched a video campaign in 2010 with their video receiving 6.7 million views in 24 hours that then went on to over 23 million views by the time the 36 million hour mark hit. 50,000 videos, I’ve seen YouTube videos of people showing their sputum get more hits.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 7:54amSome of us don’t have time to sit around all day searching U Tube for interesting videos.
Some of us who actually – WORK- appreciate the Blaze doing that for us.
So quit you’re bitch’n and if you can’t find something good to say then shut up, leave us alone and go back to reading Ron Paul tweets.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 10:44amBeing tall isn’t a prerequisite to being a successful NBA player. There are plenty of guys who were less than 6′. Most who are “listed” as 6′ or 6’1″ are actually several inches shorter.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 5:18amand the left is going to be on this as an example of why all balls need to be banned. because this baby is so acurate at shooting defenceless baskets, who never tried to harm him. oh and racist too because you used colored balls to shoot at colored baskets. *eye roll*

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 1:25amThe amount of hand eye coordination for a child this age is off the charts. So either this video took dozens of tries (like the dude perfect videos) or this kid is a prodigy.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 12:05amVery nice video.
A little comentary re: “The Gauntlet”, though. While “gauntlet” is often used to describe a difficult ordeal, the better term is “gantlet.” “Gauntlet” comes from Old French for “glove” and “gantlet” comes from Old Swedish for “path.” You “throw down the gauntlet” and you “run the gantlet” — but the use of “gauntlet” where “gantlet” would be expected is so common that “gantlet” is the lesser-used word.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 1:47amThat’s an interesting fact that I didn’t know. Thanks for that. (I’m a bit of a trivia junky).
Here’s one back:
Mr Obama is the 44th president of the USA. But did you know that only 43 men have been president?
It’s true.
Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 1:11pmWhile running the “gantlet” of people avoiding you at parties, meeting women must be a “gauntlet” for you.
Was that correct terminology?

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 3:56pm@ Scoobeycheese and Pk_sea: It may be a bit of a surprise, but I’m not very fun a parties. Also, I don’t meet women — and that’s fine with my wife and 5 kids.
@ NZKIWI — Yes on that presidential fact. Here is one that I’m not sure of: is Barack Hussein Obama II the only U.S. president to have a numeral as part of his name? It seems to be so.
