An 8-year-old girl whose insane dribbling skills have taken the basketball world by storm says she’s doing it all for God.

“I just love Jesus with all my heart and God loves you. Jesus loves you. And I have this God-given talent and I just want to use it for him,” she said, in a YouTube video that showcases her skills.

About 63,000 have viewed the video since it was uploaded June 13, The Blaze reported.

The 2-minute video doesn’t include her personal information — name, place of residence. But in it, she’s shown performing various dribbling feats while the camera holder — ostensibly her father or a male family member – counts and announces each personal record as she beats it.

Heard on the video was the male voice: “There she is the girl that was known on YouTube as the world’s greatest 7-year-old dribbler.But now 10 days ago she turned 8. Anything to say babe?”

That’s when she replied that she just loved Jesus and owed all her talent to God.
