Clint Capela showed tonight that he can do more than catch lobs from James Harden. Check out some of the moves in this video. I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say they’re “legit”, but they worked, and that’s all that matters. Let me tell you, you gotta give this guy a lot of credit.
In case you were worried, yes, he can still catch lobs from James Harden. Just because he can pull off a goofy-looking jump hook once in a while doesn’t mean he won’t keep consuming his bread and butter. And just because he broke his fibula, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to jump anymore. Good to see. Some players, they injure their leg, and they never jump the same way again. Not naming names here. You know who I’m talking about. But this dude, this Capelmaister, he laughs in the face of fractured leg bones, laughing as he scores 22 points against the best team in the league.
