WATCH | Mexico’s 71-year-old basketball player ‘Granny Jordan’ is now viral TikTok celebrity

A video of Andrea Garcia Lopezlighting up the court in her tiny, isolated town of San Esteban Atatlahuca in the southern state of Oaxaca has been viewed over amillion times since it was shared by her grandson, earning her the title “Granny Jordan” among TikTok users.

Lopez, a local craftswoman with her grey hair woven in two long braids, wearing a long skirt, tricks an opponent close to the basket to create room for a shot that she skillfully scores off the backboard. Even though her knee is starting to act up a little, she aspires to continue playing for many years.
