One of the most amazing things I have read in a while, courtesy of news.com.au:
A SPORTSWEAR giant is signing up children as young as three in a bid to market its products and capture the next generation of stars.
Reebok has offered to pay the school and college fees of three-year-old Mark Walker, an amazing basketball talent. Walker can score baskets from 10 metres out using a full-sized basketball with adult-sized hoops.
Dressed in Reebok sportsgear and headband, a publicity film shows him dropping balls into a full-sized hoop several metres away. In a remarkable sequence, he repeats the feat 17 times – from all angles.
As well as the shooting extravaganza earlier this year, there is also film of Mark in nappies and aged 21 months, shooting confidently into an inflatable hoop and clapping his efforts.
I wonder if he is a good dribbler.
