Some people spend years perfecting their trick shots, so it’s incredibly annoying when someone comes along and nails it straight away.
Well bad luck, because this two-year-old is here to put your basketball skills to shame.

And it’s not just basketball that Calvin Shannon is a total pro at, but basically any type of trick shot.
Hey, it’s not like he’s completely been an overnight success: here’s Calvin smashing it at 13 months.

His dad Mike says that Calvin has been obsessed with basketball since he could sit up at eight months old. Mike says: “All he would watch on TV would be basketball games and videos, and he even sat through a 60 minute documentary of Michael Jordan from start to finish.”
Calvin’s favourite movie is Space Jam – a love he shares with so many other people.
If you don't love Space Jam, we can't be friends.

Watch this space, because Calvin’s going places. It might take him a few more years to reach the NBA, but in the meantime why not watch Space Jam instead?
