This 5-year-old from China is already better at basketball than you

Those handles!

Meet Mai Zizhou, a 5-year-old from China.

He’s apparently been dribbling basketballs since he was two-and-a-half, and he’s got a ton of moves: he can dribble behind the back, he can dribble two balls at once at various speeds, he can continuously alternate hands without losing rhythm, and he does it all while keeping his head up and focused on the camera.

AND he can knock down any shot he takes from within five feet of the rim, even though it’s three times as tall as him.

The only thing he can’t do is dribble the ball between his legs ... which is understandable, since we’re not sure the ball would fit through them.

(Via Yahoo!, which in turn was via Shanghaiist.)
