He can't apply much of what he's doing to later in life. I mean he's got a feel for the size of the ball and the geometry of the problem. But his form for is going to be completely different when he's older - so I don't that he'll be able to do that later. Plus, what if he grows up short? He's against the odds if that happens.
Still, he's going to bring home some elemetary school b-ball competition trophies for sure.
I wonder if he can do that with another kid waving his arms in his face.
