Move over, Aaron Carter! There's a new kid in town that can also sing "That's how I beat Shaq" now, and his name is Titus Ashby.
The 2-year-old became a YouTube sensation after his dad posted a few videos of Titus doing some trick shots, and they went viral. Jimmy Kimmel saw the tiny basketball player when he appeared on the Today Show, and said of his performance: "He stinks. Boo!"
As a response to his comments, Titus' dad, Joseph Ashby, challenged Jimmy to a "man-to-little-tiny-man" and he accepted. The whole Ashby family went to support little Titus on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he beat the host 10-6. "Congratulations! He was the better man. He's not even a man and he was a better man," said Kimmel about his defeat.
Nonetheless, he was so surprised with the little kid's abilities, that this time, he invited "Trick Shot Titus" (as he is known all over the web) back to the show, to face an even bigger opponent, 15-times All Star, 4-time NBA champion and basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal.
The rules were simple, they each had 30 seconds to sink as many baskets as possible. Both hoops were adjusted to suit their heights, with Titus shooting at a 3-foot-high hoop from 6 feet away, while Shaq aimed for a 7-foot-1 hoop from 18 feet away.
After everything was clear, it was time for a little "Clash of the Titus." The toddler seemed to have everything under control and scored eight times, while Shaq didn't have the same luck, scoring none. Still, he was a friendly loser and gave Titus a little present: his shoe, which, as Jimmy pointed out, the kid could easily go boating in.
