Toddler is being deemed the 'smallest basketball fan in the world' for his devotion to the game

Children have an air that can make everything around them lighter and more interesting. In this video uploaded by @cheeznpeezplus3, a simple basketball game got elevated due to a toddler's dedication to the game. The adorable video featured Luca enjoying a basketball game with full focus. Even though he was just 3 years old, his commitment to the game was of such a high standard that he noticed a win coming before anyone else. His genuine joy quadrupled the entertainment provided by the game. Seeing the little boy overjoyed with the win was heartwarming not only for his family but also for millions of viewers, making the video viral in no time.

The mother gave an adorable caption to the video, "The tiniest basketball fan." The video started by focusing on Luca as he was intensely watching the game. Suddenly, he stood up from his seat with a shocked expression and seemed excited, as if he had noted a score being made by his team. The surprising thing was that no one else stood up, cheering for the team for a good few seconds. The boy looked around for a while to see if someone had caught on to his reason for excitement. It was after some time that everyone joined the party. One thing is clear this little guy's basketball instincts are top-tier.

Luca's love for basketball is not surprising. Other videos in the profile show the family's attachment to the sport. In one of the videos, Luca along with his sister, is enjoying seeing their older brother tie the game with a wonderful shot. The audience erupted in applause and Luca's sister took him in her arms. The boy looks poised to follow his brother's path and score a goal like that one day.

The comment section adored the boy's reaction to the happenings in the court. @miss...paine appreciated the child's instincts about the sport and wrote, "Getting a child that age to be that attentive to anything is amazing! This is precious." @maee_jc commented exactly what everyone was thinking while watching the video, "This is quite literally the cutest thing I've ever seen." @klh0889 commented on their favorite part of the video, "His quick look around of 'did you all not see that!?'"

Audrey, similar to Luca, got a lot of joy from her favorite sport and sportsman at a very tough time of her life. After losing both her father and grandfather the same year, Audrey had no one to take her to a school dance. Seeing her sadness, her mother took a shot in the dark and contacted Audrey's favorite player, Anthony Harris, to take her to the dance. To her surprise, he said yes. "A normal player would probably be like, 'I don't have time for this. I have to be focused for next season or the playoffs,'" Audrey told NBC 10. "But he took time out of his schedule to take me, so that was pretty special."
