Meet 7-year-old Jaliyah Manuel. She has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, and that’s for one good reason: She’s a basketball phenom.

The New Orleans girl wants to be the first woman to play in the NBA (she also wants to be a nurse), and with her ball-handling skills right now, she very well could make it to that level.

Manuel told Bleacher Report that she models her game after LeBron James, Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Brittney Griner, and Diana Taurasi.

Her dad put a ball in her hands when she was just a year old, before she could even talk. Here’s what she can do today.

Take preparation seriously it’s what you make sure your correcting that’s gonna help you in the long run. @boosiegirl_ivi #teamliyah#pg#nba#wnba#noexcuses#glsfamily#humble#hardwork#mcdavid#hardworkpaysoff#striveforgreatness#meekmill#ballislife#dedicated#grindforever#teamshotscience#shieldsofstrength#drinkbodyarmor#nodaysoff#safe_lace#grindforthelord#blessed#trustinthelord#ivionabadazz
