You gotta enjoy this one.

When you get a few minutes watch this video its very funny. 

 Kyrie Irving (rookie of the year from Cleveland that played at Duke last year) is one of my new favorite players.  
They dress him up in movie make up to make him look like an 80 year old man and he goes to the street basketball courts in new York and gets in a pick up basketball game with all these young guys.  
At the beginning playing terrible and then starts playing for real and its great.

I enjoyed watching if for sure...  BUT, I'm curious how they got such good production and camera angles and such with it being secret/candid.  I was also waiting for the makeup/prosthetics to start messing up from sweat and activity.  I smell the potential for veing staged...

That's what I thought too, but didn't want to be that guy who threw the wet blanket. Thanks Kido!

I had the same thought and there's a couple places you can see them with boom mic's and nice camera's.  Generally though in reality TV land they come up with some kind of cover story like we're doing a story for ESPN about street basketball, bring all your friends and they can get on TV.  So it could be staged, but I'd lean towards being legit.
