Hey, have you seen this toddler shooting hoops?

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.

And this challenge to Jimmy Kimmel:

That's when kids are mastering gross motor skills. I remember reading about John McEnroe. His parents said he had one of those big plastic baseball bats and a big wiffle ball when he was 3 or 4. They said he would hit it over and over, playing for as long as someone would pitch to him. He was playing tennis at clubs at 8 and competing the juniors circuit at age 12.
