ABOUT FAMOUS LOS

Carlos Famous Los Sanford is what you would call a young O.G. of viral videos. Before taking over Instagram he started making videos on Vine in 2011 where the 28-year-old Durham, North Carolina native became one of the funniest personalities on social media after his video of walking to grandma house went viral.

Thats his talent. Whether its the multitude of ways people react when they lose a pickup game or quoting Black Panther when clowning LeBron James for getting swept in this year’s NBA Finals, Los has an uncanny way of nailing the nuance of how sports fans brains operate and translating it on the screen.

After dislocating his knee three times in college, effectively derailing his dreams of going pro, channeling his basketball dreams into viral videos become a refuge for him to gain a renewed sense of purpose. I’ve had one job. I worked 3 months, and it was hell. I wanted to find a way in life using my brain, using my skills. Basketball is all I know, he told The Shadow League. That’s why I make these videos, and they won’t stop.
