    Of course Reaves had to be the one who has it mastered.

  3. dys0n_giddey

    Glad I’m not the only one who could never do this

  4. ICouldEvenBeYou

    Wow, this is actually shocking to me. I’ve been able to do this well since I was a teenager. Can slap the side of the ball to keep up its momentum and everything. I’m sure I could keep it going for a full minute, even. Had no idea I’d have Team USA beat here.

    So . . . does this earn me a roster spot?

  5. guywilliamsguy

    I am genuinely shocked by this! When I was a kid I felt like these little trick moves went hand and hand with top players.

  6. _cacho6L

    Ingram taking the opportunity to flip people off

  8. I_Always_Grab_Tindy

    Only one that surprised me really was Brunson (and Bridges a little bit), just seems like something a pg would be able to do for whatever reason

  12. Lui-king

    Am I trippin or is Austin the best player on this team?

  13. mrgreenranger

    wow there’s something basketball related that i can do better than a lot of NBA players.

  14. LinuxDootTP

    i wonder what percentage of nba players can/not spin a ball on their finger. prior to seeing this i never really thought about it, but if someone would have asked me if nba players could spin a ball on their finger, i would have for sure said everyone but the least coordinated players. so def not rudy gobert. would be super funny if he could spin a ball on his finger

  15. Jscott1423

    Could do this since I was a kid. If only I was 6’8 – 7ft 🤧

  16. Soppoi

    Now I wanna see Bobby master it after the WC.

    Remind Me! 4 weeks

  17. Abradolf1948

    Glad to see Bobby Portis looks just as psycho off the court.

  18. TheMoorNextDoor

    Reaves getting bonus points from me fr what can’t he do

  19. ChiefSoldierFrog

    For the life of me I can’t do it. I don’t understand how it works.

  20. AceDuce23

    There’s no way Bobby Portis is better than me at basketball

  21. johnniewelker

    We will need to run a 6-7 men rotation to win this. I am not confident at all with our bench here

  22. junahn

    So every former/current lakers does this shit normally lol.

  24. asapshrank

    “if i get 2 seconds its a good night”

    i feel you rese

  25. Isguros

    I always knew my ability to spin a basketball on my finger would bite me in the ass someday. If only I wasn’t so good in this useless skill I could have made the national team.

  26. unclehelpful

    I never understood why this completely non-basketball skill is so valued.

  27. EllieWiz13

    Kessler yelling no before the question is even over lol

  29. Starksgoon

    I was never able to do this despite being pretty good at playing. I was Under the impression that any NBA could do it. Now i know it seems like one of those things were you got it or you dont.

  30. Electronic-Morning76

    Looking at our roster kinda just reinforces the fact that USA basketball is not miles ahead of the world anymore. Jesus Christ.

  31. thesqrrootof4is2

    2k12 and 2k13 made me believe every NBA player could spin the ball so effortlessly lol

  32. K_a_n_d_o_r_u_u_s

    All 3 players who can do it started their careers with the Lakers. Not really worth bragging about, but hell I’ll do it anyway

  33. im_ok_

    There’s something I wanna say about Bobby Portis but I’m not gonna say it

  34. MacePaladin

    Any chance this was a Lakers draftee requirement? I like how all 3 could do it lol

  35. Ellimistopher

    Paolo legit would get mad if you could spin a ball and his counter move was to offer to destroy you 1 on 1.

  36. onamonapizza

    My wife never really PLAYED basketball (she was a soccer kid), but she did work with some basketball skill camps. She can keep a ball spinning for minutes, even change hands and do it around her back. It’s a very unique skill, and she’s like a duck on water when she does it.

    I grew up playing ball. I can shoot, pass, dribble…but I can’t keep a ball spinning for more like than 2 seconds. She’s tried to teach me, it just doesn’t work

  37. bruswazi

    All the Lakers or former Lakers can spin ✅✅✅

  38. YourNanaBanana

    so apparently you don’t need to know how to do this to be good at basketball?? my high school life was all a lie

  39. Animaul187

    Team USA is kinda trash compared to the teams of the past, eh? The Austin Reeves show.

  40. Ok_Establishment8127

    All lakers and the formers just got that aura to them

  41. Phenomenal2313

    It’s funny this was one of the tricks I could do very consistently even with a wet ball and hand

  43. whispercampaign

    I can’t believe these incredibly skilled 21 year olds can’t figure out how their grandfathers rode horses! What dicks!

  44. Deeznutschad

    Bro other than Mikal where are all the stars?

  45. StanVanGhandi

    Funny thing is, the worse at basketball I got the better I could spin a ball on my finger.

  46. RyVsWorld

    Maxisnice is doing too much. He’s involved in everything bball related. I get it though gotta capitalize while you can

  48. CankerousWretch24

    We really sending out the freshman team against varsity squads
