Gareth Bale displays superb move mixing football and basketball

Most sportspersons are incredible specimen of athletic ability. They are known to dabble in more sports than one in their free time. For instance, most footballers are known admirers of sports such as basketball, cricket, boxing, golf and rugby among other things.

Every so often the footballers themselves are found inevitably playing other sports. When they do we find gems like this tidbit shared by Gareth Bale on his Instagram account.

The post is evidently an endorsement for a phone brand but nonetheless, the skill Bale has to perform is one of great difficulty. He does a couple of quick keepy-up before gripping the ball with his foot and lobbing it over his head into the basket while looking away from it.

Surely he had to repeat it a few times before he got it right? You tell us.
