Must see: Kessel tries to prove he can ball

Phil Kessel never backs down from a challenge, whether it is on National Hockey League ice or... on the basketball court? 

New Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Ryan Reaves and Kessel played one-on-one basketball: the number 81 wanted to prove that "he can ball."

The video is simply hilarious. 

While Kessel's jump shot actually looks pretty smooth, nothing seems to be going in on that day... 

You gotta love Kessel!
