I’m challenging all yoyoers who know how to fingerspin to try to spin a basketball on their finger. I wonder if the fingerspin skills will translate to a basketball.

I’m about to ask the neighbor kid to let me try this next time he’s out there shooting baskets. That globetrotter has definitely got the dead soft floppy finger technique I still need to figure out to fingerspin on my yo-yos with the middle bumps. ---

I can spin a finger on a basketball. But boy do I get dizzy.🙀 The last time I did it, my Apple Watch told me that I achieved my running goal for the day.
