A three-year-old from California is already earning fans with his incredible basketball skills — including his very impressed and supportive big brothers.

One could say that Jalen Allen, the son of Pepperdine men’s basketball coach Curtis Allen, has hoops in his genes — but his ability to sink shot after shot is still quite incredible, and has helped the family Instagram account earn thousands of followers. 

In a recent video, Jalen really outdoes himself, sinking a ball into the basket while standing several feet behind it, the backboard in the way — and the skilled shot earns him a very excited hug from his big brother.

Jalen and his brothers Trey and Noah have their own YouTube channel, Instagram page, and TikTok account, where they shared quite a lot of videos showing off Jalen’s basketball talent.

The toddler manages to land shot after shot with ease and seems destined for big things.

In a video uploaded on October 3, a basketball hoop has been set up in front of a set of stairs.

Jalen is standing up on the landing, several feet away and still lower from the hoop — which is facing away from him, the backboard creating an additional obstacle for him.

Jalen screams, and his big brother cheers and runs up the stairs to enthusiastically throw his arms around him in a hug
