Basketball isn’t exactly the easiest sport in the world. It takes natural talent, years of practice, and a whole lot of luck. So, naturally, only having one arm would make playing the sport almost impossible for most.
But in a video that has since gone viral on Twitter, one man is defeating the odds, by dominating on the court without his left arm.

Despite the competitions’ best efforts, the dude was getting buckets like crazy, both from the perimeter and on drives to the rim.
In the comment section, fans were pretty shaken by the footage…

For those that don’t know, the guy’s name is Zach Hodskins, who played for the University of Florida. So while the guy has some experience at high-level basketball, it’s always incredible to Hodskins do this thing. He has some serious moves and is probably better than most of the fully-limbed folk out there.
It just goes to show that sometimes, human will power, passion, and hard work can overcome even life’s greatest obstacles.
