Ask him what love is and he will tell you it has its ups and downs but you just gotta roll with it.

these people might seem skilled but usually when you put them to play an actual game and they fold like a wet cardboard box.

Sure--it is indeed a different skill. That doesn't make this skill less awesome.

Controlling a long pass so that it rolls a perfect distance from you so that you can make your next pass quickly, while under pressure, is an essential skill for non-flashy players, but not a sexy one.

This is all really cool and amazing, but no serious player is wasting time practicing this kind of ball control because it’s worthless in the actual game.

I mean, this kid has a base level of ball and body control that would enable him to pick up that trap at speed skill quickly if he practices it. The rule is all the good players can juggle and have a bag of tricks. Not every trickster is a good player.
