“Blocked by Anthony Davis”: Banter Strikes Over New Olivia Dunne Video as She Submits an Unofficial NBA Application

Social media and NIL queen Olivia Dunne has often showcased her flexibility in her gymnastics routines to her fans. Several training session videos of the LSU star regularly go viral as fans appreciate the finesse and the flexibility of Livvy. Interestingly, her flexibility recently transcended out of the boundaries of gymnastics and bled right into basketball.

Olivia Dunne has been a gymnastics lover since she was just three years old. However, her latest social media upload sees her playing on LSU’s basketball court. Livvy has lately been inclined towards basketball and is also trying her hand at it. As the 21-year-old dribbled and shot the ball, fans started a fresh banter about her in the NBA.

Olivia Dunne shines with the basketball

Olivia Dunne took to Instagram and shared a new reel on her page. The reel carried the caption, “Dual sport athletes>>> #lsu #gymnastics #basketball.” The video showcased Livvy both goofing around and playing seriously. She dribbled the ball, tried to do some trick crossovers, and also handled two balls at the same time.

The footage also showed Olivia Dunne successfully hitting a bucket off the glass from behind the arc after a clumsy airball. Notably, the LSU Tigers are the defending champions of the NCAA Women’s Basketball. But, with Livvy’s skills, they could use another shooter who can drive the ball and score a layup as well.

Interestingly, Olivia Dunne had met NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal along with her boyfriend Paul Skenes. The LSU gymnast has been even more high on basketball ever since. So much so, that she didn’t care to change out of her leotard and just stormed into the court. While Livvy enjoyed her basketball session, so did her fans. In fact, fans came up with several NBA references and reacted to the video.

LeBron James with the rejection!” A comment also said, ‘WNBA… watch out for livvy. she’s coming. those handles tho.” Do you think that Olivia Dunne can shine in the WNBA alongside social media and gymnastics as well?
