A 70-year-old taxi driver proved that age is just a number when it comes to talent. A video is going viral on the internet of a man shooting a basketball from the street in New York. Posted on Instagram by the content creator, Luc A Menard, on September 8, 2022, the video has received more than 19 million views so far.  

The video starts with a 70-year-old man, George Papoutsis, asking people to pass him the basketball lying on the sidewalk, so he could hit a shot. Mr Menard is then seen walking on the street while talking on his phone. Mr Papoutsis requested Mr Menard to pass him the ball, he then gave the 70-year-old the ball by impressively juggling it with his legs. The man grabbed the basketball, leapt up and scored a basket that looks impossible. As the ball lands in the basket, Mr Papoutsis runs into the street amid the loud cheering by Mr Menard.  

The caption read, “70 years old Taxi Driver with @timberland hit CRAZY shot & ran into the streets.”
