LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne had fans joking when she posted a video showing off her basketball skills on Wednesday.
The short montage showed the social media sensation trying to dribble with both hands and putting the ball through her legs. She also successfully converts a layup and a three-point bank shot after only getting air on an earlier attempt.
“Dual sports athletes>>>,” Dunne wrote.
The video resulted in hysterical reactions as fans used it to taunt NBA players and compare Dunne to other basketball stars.
“Still better than Ben Simmons,” one fan commented.

One fan joked that Dunne “could carry the entire Detroit Pistons team,” which has a 4-36 record
“I think she could carry the entire Detroit Pistons team,” declared another.
“I thought this was Caitlin Clark for a moment,” a third added.
Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets, a fellow LSU product, has long been the subject of internet trolls as he has regressed dramatically since being the No. 1 pick in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Pistons have performed worryingly poorly this season, with a 4-36 record at the bottom of the league.
The sarcastic comparison to Caitlin Clark comes as the Iowa senior is averaging 31 points and 7.2 rebounds per game for the 18-1 Hawkeyes.

The LSU gymnastics team is currently 3-1 with wins over Ohio State, UCLA and Oklahoma
Dunne is in her final season at LSU and competed in their second NCAA game this weekend. Thanks to an impressive floor performance, Dunne scored a 9.850 and helped the Tigers secure a second-place finish.
As a team, LSU has a 3-1 record so far this season with wins over Ohio State, UCLA and Oklahoma.
Despite being the highest-paid female NCAA athlete in the NIL era and having millions of social media followers, Dunne is determined to end her collegiate career by winning an NCAA title with the Tigers.
After completing the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad in Utah, they have returned to Baton Rouge where they will host Kentucky on Friday night.
