There's always that one kid you should pass it to.

In the case of basketball team the Frenchy Phenoms, you might want to give the ball to 12-year-old Olivier Rioux. He measures a very tall 213 centimetres, and when playing against other kids his age on a shorter hoop, well, the results are fairly predictable.

Although he has no qualms shooting from a distance, Rioux can easily dunk into the basket thanks to his height, which makes him a pretty handy defender too.

Sure, it doesn't seem legal, but at least the video is enjoyable.
