1
Today, every time we score, the basketball changes.
2
From an NBA basketball, to a square basketball, to an airless ball, to even a Mr. Beast basketball.
3
There is 15 different levels, and the first one to get through all of them gets to hold on to the trophy, which is currently mine.
4
It's gonna be mine.
5
I'm giving my revenge, man.
6
And we're starting off with an NBA basketball.
7
No look.
8
So, it only makes sense we have to score on an NBA player.
9
We got Jabari Walker in the building.
10
What's goody?
11
What's going on?
12
What's going on?
13
All right, what are your thoughts on the NBA ball?
14
Pretty sure you're not too familiar with this, so that's an advantage for me.
15
I played in the G League for a little bit.
16
Don't sleep on me.
17
Oh, my God.
18
Slippery ball.
19
Oh, my God.
20
It slipped.
21
That ball is mad slippery.
22
It's going to be a long day.
23
I'm not going to lie, Jabari is intimidating on the court.
24
Oh, my God.
25
Yeah, lock up.
26
Oh, yeah, that's good defense!
27
Bro, Zach, I feel like he makes you look small on the court.
28
He makes me look small.

This has to be the dumbest basketball of all time.
60
I don't like it.
61
I hate it.
62
And when this product got released, LeBron James even made a tweet about how dumb it is,
63
so we're going to try to play with it today.
64
Yeah, who would our defender be for something like this?
65
Chicken jockey!
66
Okay!
67
Chicken Jockey!
68
Yeah!
69
Hey, look what he brought.
70
He has brought the briefcase.
71
So, every couple of rounds there will be a briefcase
72
and the first person to pass the level will get to open it and there'll be a twist inside.
73
You gotta get a stop, Chicken Jockey.
74
Let's go, Chicken Jockey!
75
Bro, I know the six -year -olds watching are hype right now.
76
I don't even know how I'm supposed to score without laughing.

No way, no way.
82
Not here!

Let's go, chicken.
91
No, he's definitely scoring.
92
Bro, you messed up.

94
I get it.
95
Nope.
96

98
what do I get for the next round you get two attempts per turn let's go I need that
99

100

128
The basketballs will only get crazier as we get farther into the video.
129
This level is the world's first ever Velcro basketball.
130
We also have a Velcro backboard, so it will get stuck, and even a Velcro defender.
131
I'm sticking everything.
132
Facts, bro is mad sticky.
133
This is what happens when you brick it.
134

151
It used to be one of the official high school basketballs.
152
I don't like it, it feels kind of nasty.
153
It's like plasticky and it only makes sense for our defender to be a high school player
154
We have my boy brenton from bucket squad elite very high level player.
155
What do you got there?
156
Got a suitcase with a special surprise in it first one to score on him gets the suitcase.

209
it is the wilson airless gen this is the most futuristic basketball in the world
210
and it's also the most expensive basketball in the world it's reselling for like 20 000
211
because they only made so many our defender is my boy ben
212
and the reason ben is the defender for the futuristic ball is
213
because you are the future humanity is relying on you i am the future you are
214
and next found we're going to the past
215
i have news from the future you don't score oh okay
216
you ever heard of yokich somber shuffle oh

All right, it don't matter.
225
The future ain't changed.
226
God damn.
227
I give up.
228
Yeah, that was a lot.
229
No, Ben's a deep guy.
230
Ben is actually, I play with this dude a lot.
231
He's a lead.
232
It's not you, it's the ball.
233
Bro, you have to shoot it so hard.
234
Every time you see an NBA player try this ball, they always airball their first shot.
235
You know what?
236
You need me in the nuts, my, my, my, my, my, my, bro, you were in my landing's face.
237
Oh, yes, Ben.
238
No. Oh, wow.
239
It's actually the most unfunctional ball.
240
travel no cap
241
us
242
yes come on bro just let me score
243
so he doesn't get a lead i can't do
244
that sir damn bro back up i'm at half court dog yeah like him up ben i hate this ball
245
let's go
246
gdo best defender yet that level was crazy
247
but not as crazy as the final level
248
which will be the mr beast basketball
249
but with a twist we both just finished the future now it is time to go to the
250
past whoa we got greg here with the first ever basketball made
251
and ben's dad who was the last defender how does it feel to have the first ever basketball
252
it was just like yesterday have you hooped with
253
that one this is old school hell yeah all right
254
so this was made in 1876 they literally had like the laces on the top this is
255
so bizarre for a basketball i'm gonna be playing on a peach each basket, which was the first ever basketball hoop.
256
You scored first, so you're up.
257
I actually played this dude in high school, so I think he might know all my moves.
258
A little too close.
259
You want me back up?
260
Fly.
261
Hey, it's like back in the day, they didn't have the three -point line back then.
262
You got a hoop like - Yeah, I hit him with the cane!
263
But you know who you remind me of?
264
Jared McCain.
265
I was going to tell you, before the hand was part of the ball, the old days, last century, your balls were part of the ball.
266
Be a little bit careful.
267
Hell no!
268
Bob Cousy.
269
Oh!
270
Oh my god!
271
Post him up!
272
Dude, he's just as strong as Ben too.
273
He doesn't move.
274
I got the old man strength.
275
and one hit you with the cane that might be the toughest defender yet
276
no no kids how the cane is pissing me off Zach's made it to the next level
277
which is a heavy basketball 30 like five times the weight of a regular basketball
278
and it's only right that but the defender is a bodybuilder.
279
I am glad I'm not going first.
280
Now this round does have a mystery case.
281
The first one of us to score on the power lifter is gonna get the mystery case.
282
What's going on, man?
283
How are you?
284
Good, man, how are you?
285
Good, what's your name?
286
My name's Quan.
287
Quan, you're big.
288
Do you also hoop?
289
Sometimes, like on Saturdays.
290
Okay, he's a weekend warrior just like me.
291
I feel that.
292
The problem with this round is you're forced to take a layup because the ball's so heavy, you're not getting a jumper off.
293
Yeah, you can't shoot this, there's no point.
294
You gotta take a layup, that's the only way.
295
How am I supposed to get to the paint, bro?
296
Slow and steady.
297
I don't think that's gonna work either.
298
Yep, no, you understand it now?
299
I do not.
300
I'm taking enough abuse.
301
Hey!
302
GG, I had to.
303
Yeah, next time.
304
Next time, Jesse.
305
Hey guys, remember, I still have the paper that can set Zach back a level.
306
Maybe I should use it now, so if he doesn't score here, I really want to get this next briefcase.
307
Gotta go to the post.
308
Hell no!
309
It takes so long to shoot, bro.
310
Are you ready?
311
100 % locked in?
312
100 % always.
313
This is yours, sir.
314
Wait, Zach, did you drop that?
315
Oh!
316
Oh!
317
Oh my god!
318
Bro, the ball.
319
It was so much heavier.
320
I had it.
321
It was wide open.
322
Oh.
323
Oh.
324
I'm starting to understand it.
325
You better score here or it's over.
326
Oh.
327
You're good.
328
are you okay i'm good man good move thank you
329
so i still have the move opponent a level back card can use whenever i'm saving this for later
330
because the hardest rounds are yet to come
331
but let's see what's in here only shoot with your left hand for the next level bro
332
this doesn't help me this makes it harder oh
333
that's for you for me oh let's go
334
i thought only good things were in here oh behind nice move whoa the balls it's
335
so heavy for this next level we have one of the world's largest basketballs it is like a triple xl
336
so it was only right to get a professional big man we got riley right here
337
and i have to use my left hand the entire round how many shots do you think you'll get?
338
A lot.
339
A lot?
340
Yeah.
341
I'm nervous.
342
What about on Zach?
343
How many thoughts on him?
344
A lot.
345
On both of you guys.
346
On both of us?
347
Yeah.
348
Bro, the left hand is screwed.
349
Have you, what do you think about it?
350
Do you train with a big shot or?
351
I haven't, but I know people that do and it's not a good time, man.
352
Should I bust out my unguardable move?
353
I don't think that has to be guarded.
354
I just, I don't know what just happened.
355
All right, you got me this time?
356
Yeah, I think so.
357
All right.
358
I think so, I think so.
359
No, Zach's in the scoring position.
360
Good block!
361
Ah!
362
Bro, that's an agile big.
363
Oh, come on!
364
Hit a layup.
365
I can't get into paint!
366
This is as far as it'll let me go.
367
Ah!
368
Come on, man!
369
Let's go, bro.
370
Oh, welcome to the big ball.
371
I'm not gonna lie after I scored and he yelled I didn't know he was cheering for me.
372
I thought he was mad.
373
I got a little scared.
374
Oh My god
375
Left hand I mean with the big ball is crazy.
376
Oh, yeah, lock up lock up.
377
Oh Good shot.
378
Yes!
379
No!
380
No, I hate this ball.
381
It's wide open.
382
That's nice.
383
Come on!
384
Zach has made it to the next level, which is the Dude Perfect Basketball.
385
So the challenge, we have one from Dude Perfect.
386
See what they say.
387
Jesser, what up, dude?
388
Here's the challenge.
389
Backwards, half court, shot with the Dude Perfect basketball.
390
No looker.
391
You got it, dude.
392
Good luck.
393
Damn!
394
The winner of the Dude Perfect round gets the case.
395
This might help me catch up.
396
All right, Dude Perfect trick shot ball.
397
First try.
398
Ain't no way.
399
Oh my God, he hit the ceiling.
400
That's a miss.
401
A little bit harder than it looks.
402
The Dude Perfect ball looks impossible.
403
This is my chance to catch up.
404
It's my time to catch up let's go hey don't go
405
anywhere don't go anywhere okay stay right stay right here hi Zach horrible news
406

422
so special is they got the best designs we got the brick slime ice cream galaxy we got it all

426
Travis oh yeah oh damn Bucky can't see behind him oh Bucky's like a screen let's go thank you

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
