Old Guy Shooting Free Throws Absolutely Steals The Show From A CrossFit Dude Trying To Show Off

All things considered this is one of my favorite videos in the history of the internet and it serves as proof positive that no matter what you do in this life, no matter how many WODS or kettlebell swings or hang cleans you do, you will never be as badass as an old man. You can do pushups on a stack of dumbells? Cool. That guy’s simply alive. The fact that he’s still breathing oxygen is far more impressive than your sweet little workout.

Do you think there’s anyone more pissed than Rib Tat Guy today? He just wanted to show the world how strong his core is but he made one fatal mistake, he didn’t make sure there weren’t any geriatrics in the background going Steph Curry from the free throw line. Goes to show you that you should never make the mistake of underestimating the gray hair at men’s league. I don’t care if it’s basketball or hockey or whatever, if there’s an old man there who can barely walk you need to know that he will dominate you. Old guys simply understand the game on a level that you can’t possibly comprehend. They make tape to tape passes off the boards using a knowledge of geometry that would boggle Pythagoras’ mind. I mean look at this guy’s shots, he even has the backspin on them so he doesn’t have to go chasing the ball. Every time it comes right back to him like the thing is a well-trained dog.

Sorry, Gym Guy, you’re never gonna live this one down. Keep practicing your flashy routines, the man who lived through the Great Depression knows practicality is gonna beat sizzle every day of the week.
