I could go into a lot of detail about Nico “Jungle Boy” Ansom.

How he came from Paris and is now a prominent feature in the streetball culture of Venice Beach, and also the founder of the Venice Basketball League.

How “white men can’t jump” doesn’t apply to Ansom, nor do the laws of common sense or physics.

But really it way more fun to watch this kid work. Please keep in mind before you watch the below video this kid was 15 when he moved to the US and picked up basketball.
