In an interview Friday, Boy Abunda asked James to share his thoughts on the video.

“It's a great throwback. My dad actually has hours and hours of cam footage when I was kid. I did a lot of different things when I was kid. I did diving. I did gymnastics, golf, football,” James said.

Asked what sport he would join at the Olympic Games, Reid said he sees himself better in swimming.

“Maybe If I was to join the Olympics, it would probably be swimming. You see a lot of videos my dad posted of me swimming as a kid,” he added.
