Spin!

This was my brother more than 10 years ago. Almost every evening, he would sit on the floor for such a long time and spin the basketball on its Y axis without moving anywhere else. While the basketball kept spinning and spinning really fast, he'd stare at it intensely. I had no idea how he pulled it off - I tried to spin it like he did --> instant failure! And sometimes he did it with out frying pan too! He was a weird baby, like his sister I guess.
