Really, what did you think would happen? Imagine you’re out there, trying to throw a golf ball for a strike to a furry ball of Phanatic. It’d be difficult. And that’s pretty much what Okafor’s working with, given his MASSIVE HANDS. That motion was all off though. “I give myself a C- for my pitch,” Okafor told Mike Missanelli on 97.5 the Fanatic. “I think Phanatic still coulda caught it.”
For next time, Jahlil, seek Tom Emanski.
