And Tatum should be in no way embarrassed about it either because this young fella is a superstar.

And Tatum should be in no way embarrassed about it either because this young fella is a superstar.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are just two athletes who displayed their sporting talent on television at a very early age and two-year old Titus Ashby could yet follow in their footsteps if this display on Spanish TV show El Hormiguero is anything to go by.

In a special segment on the show, Ashby and Tatum took part in a 45-second free-throw contest and although he was a little closer to the basket, not only did Ashby beat Tatum, he destroyed him, scoring 14 baskets to Tatum’s five.

While he was no doubt seething about the defeat on the inside (well, maybe not) Tatum took it well and used the fact that he was actor as an excuse but he was glad to let Ashby have the spotlight and it probably won’t be for the last time either.

Remember the name folks.
