Turns out Olivia Dunne is even more of a multihyphenate than we previously thought. Not only is she an accomplished gymnast, Division I athlete, student at LSU and an impressive businesswoman, but she’s an aspiring basketball star, too.

After her typical afternoon of gymnastics practice, the SI Swimsuit rookie hit the basketball court to shoot around with her teammates. They stepped out in their sparkly purple leotards, ready for their playful practice round. 

Rather than simply shooting the ball with typical basketball form, the athletes took the chance to incorporate some of their gymnastics skills, too. In a TikTok clip that Dunne shared from the afternoon, one of her teammates went into a full split while holding onto a ball near the basket. Another went up for a shot near the basket and ended up in a mid-air split leap.

"Put us in Kim😩,” Dunne wrote in the caption, jokingly calling on LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey for a chance on the team.

Dunne even nailed a basket from long range in the short clip, proving she might just be an asset to the basketball program. Her followers jumped in on the joke in the comment section.

“Livvy Dunne>>>Lebron James,” one fan wrote.

“Best form of all time,” another added.

Whether she has a future basketball jersey with her name on it or not, the 21-year-old’s latest video only makes it more evident how much fun she’s having in her senior year. In any case, we know we look forward to seeing her compete in the gym soon.
