The dad is just having fun playing with his son. There is no info that says he is trying to make the kid athletic. My son loved to play basketball and could actually shoot baskets when he was very young. Just because we played with him doesn't mean we were training him to play for the pros (and he was short as a teen, so he never did make the basketball team in high school).
Lighten up I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I am astounded the baby can keep his back so straight and strong for so long. I remember my son couldn't sit up in the grocery cart till he was 9 months old and this baby looks about the same age.
The baby is 18 months old...that is amazing eye hand coordination for a a child that age....WOW!! I don't see anything wrong with playing with your child like that. We spent HOURS with the Little Tykes Baskeball hoop watching our son shoot "free throws" about that age, or him climbing up the ladder to the slide and going down the slide, over, and over, and over, and over again.....
He neither plays basketball nor climbs a ladder for a living now.
The article says he is 18 months old. He sure didn't look 9 months old to me.
It's been 30 years since son was that size so I didn't remember correctly. Still even at 18 months this kid has incredible back strength and eye hand coordination.

I agree he has great eye hand coordination for his age. Back strength, I suspect is pretty normal for that age though.
I wish he wasn't sitting so close to the edge of the table though.....
