IF YOU
DOUBT either the power of the
Internet or the ability of a young
child to win over the world,
consider the amazing rise to fame of
San Leandro 5-year-old Milan Simone
Tuttle.
A
kindergartner at Oakland's St.
Lawrence O'Toole School, Milan was
transformed into a basketball
version of Shirley Temple virtually
overnight. Her instant stardom has
already taken her to some pretty
impressive places, but she has even
bigger dreams, most notably a
one-on-one date with President-elect
Barack Obama.
"He
says he's going to put a gym in the
White House, you know," she said
Wednesday. "I'd really like to meet
him because he's going to be the
president, and he looks just like
me."
A
ballhandling prodigy who has honed
her considerable skills with the
Triple Threat youth basketball
academy at Alameda's Bladium Sports
& Fitness Club, Miss Tuttle
catapulted into the mass-market
consciousness this week when a video
of her dribbling not one but two and
three basketballs at once to the
backbeat of the Jackson Five's "ABC"
became an online hit at Yahoo Sports
and YouTube.
She
also performed to rousing ovations
at both the men's and women's
basketball games at the University
of California over the weekend, and
she filmed live remotes with ABC and
NBC morning shows at Bishop O'Dowd
High and the Bladium on Wednesday.
She has more appearances lined up
with Billie Jean King's Women's
Sports Foundation and the Best Damn
Sports Show Period. USF and Stanford
want her. The Warriors have inquired
as well.
A video of five-year
Milan Simone Tuttle
dribbling as many as
three basketballs
simultaneously, at times
between her legs, has
made the little girl an
overnight sensation, the
video one of the
most-watched on YouTube.
No question, this young
lady is a prodigy. But
she also turns the
spotlight on
"handles"--a fundamental
every player can and
should develop.
