On the Little Big Shots Season 3 episode “Little Miss Sunshine,” a number of talented kids demonstrate their skills including Emi Sunshine, a 13-year-old country singer/songwriter, and 7-year-old Ariana Dos Santos, a young soccer star from Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
On the Little Big Shots stage, Ariana shows off some of her moves. Host Steve Harvey and the crowd are impressed when she repeatedly bounces a soccer ball on one knee. When Ariana dribbles, does a 360 around the ball and then boots it like a rocket into the goal, Harvey asks her what she calls that move. She says, “The Maradona.” Ariana is referring to retired pro footballer Diego Maradona from Argentina. The former midfielder, #10 on FC Barcelona, is known as the greatest football player of all time. (Well, some say Pele, but Maradona lays solid claim to the GOAT, Greatest of All Time, title.) After a quick instruction from Ariana, Steve Harvey scores a goal. New episodes of Little Big Shots air Sundays at 8pm on NBC.
