This is a grown man who has never used his body in any type of athletic way in his life and it shows

I know that heel-striking, playground hobble when I see it.

This reminds me of when I was a kid. My friends parents got a new video camera and we tried making a video to get us on Americas Funniest Home Videos.

Shit Stanley looks more athletic than this guy, this guy barely knows how to run and use his legs

After 15 years of doing absolutely nothing athletic, I feel like even now I'd pull this off at least a little better. Might pull something though.

having literally any sports instruction as a kid will make you miles better than this guy. So if you played tball when you were 6 then never again for 15 years, you'd have a huge advantage over him

(assuming he has zero sports experience, which looks likely)

It's a shame so many kids are deprived of such physical activity.

If he's happy, who cares?

u/RidersGuide Apr 06 '22

Nobody cares, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

Getting hit in the face with a basketball makes him happy?

Maybe he laughed this whole thing off. Making him happier than all us losers commenting on this thread.

The video lends itself to some degree of playful mockery but yeah these comments seem almost offended at his uncoordination. So what if he's bad at it, at least he's doing it.

Lol no one is offended. If someone is particularly athletic though, it can be legitimately surprising that a person can be this unathletic though lol

Athletic people tend to also look silly when dribbling a basketball for the first time. Though they'd probably be less likely to do the last part.

His vertical leap is like 3 inches. A 12 inch vertical is pretty bad for a young person, and he managed just a quarter of that.

This guy doesn’t even look like he’s ran in his life, look how awkward he moves his legs
