Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam both grew up oversees in Austria and Cameroon, respectively, so it should come to know surprise that the two Toronto Raptors forwards are good at handling a basketball with their hands, as well as being able to juggle and kick one around.
Before they departed for their four game road trip out west, Poeltl and Siakam were getting in spirit for Saturday’s MLS Cup match between Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders by showcasing their footy skills out on the hardwood.
Pretty good moves from the two Raps, but this video below really illustrates how talented Siakam is.
This reminded us of Steve Nash showcasing his ability to meticulously dribble a soccer ball and balance it on his head.
Siakam actually preferred playing soccer over basketball growing up as a kid, but elected to trade the cleats in for a pair of sneakers because his three older brothers chose the hardwood over the pitch.
He probably made the right decision, but based of those videos, you never know.
