So the Statue of Liberty is right over there.
You can't see it, so we're going to get a boat and we're going to go and take a closer look.
So I've not just come to New York to check out the Statue of Liberty and this amazing city.
I'm here to meet up with one of the best up-and-coming basketball freestylers on the planet.
Let me introduce to you, Sizzler.
How are you my friend?
Alright man, how's it going?
Long time no see.
So tell me, when you first got into basketball, how did you start?
So basically when the movie Space Jam came out, I was about eight years old.
I saw it at the cinema and then my dad built a little tiny basketball hoop.
It was about two foot two short and too small to barely even fit a basketball in it.
But I would just go out there, shoot for hours and hours every day after school, sometimes before school.
I started playing at my school team first and then went and try out for them.
Went all the way through the club, so it was great.
That's awesome. When did you shy away from the normal game of basketball and bring in the freestyle tricks?
So I always loved ball handling and ball handling never really felt like I was training.
It just felt like fun, basically.
So I was always pretty good at just regular one ball dribbling and did a little bit of spinning stuff just for fun.
And then went to two, really to try and train and get better at basketball.
I just basically thought, wow, I can do two pretty well. I can do some stuff with that.
Looked at some people that do juggling type things and thought, well, maybe I could kind of flip that and do it downwards.
So I really just wanted to push myself and keep trying new things.
So I thought, well, why not try add another one?
I basically just love anything to do with basketball.
When people talk to me about it, they think those two have to be separate, regular basketball and freestyle streetball.
And really, I just feel like I love basketball and that's it.
I don't care if it's spinning them, juggling them, dribbling them, teaching someone offensive play, how to play man-to-man defense.
I just love basketball no matter what kind it is, basically.
That's it. I like that.
That's enough talking. I want to see some action.
Two basketballs, three basketballs. Take it away, Sizzler.
This guy's control is insane.
I thought I was good with two basketballs, but this guy is taking things to a whole new level.
Whoa, hold on. This dude cannot even see. He's got a blindfold on.
Look at his hands, his control. This guy is just too much.
