Warning: there is a surprisingly large amount of hype contained within this video. You might want to refresh your antiperspirant, because I got all sweaty when I rewatched this thing. Sweaty because of how hyped I was getting for Okaro White.
Going into it, I was thinking his four blocks would be more like “four” “blocks”. Maybe 1 or 2 legit ones, and then one that’s more of a strip and maybe one where he didn’t even actually touch it. Can you blame me for being a Doubting Thomas? I have become jaded by the looseness of NBA scorekeeping.
And I didn’t realize that one of his threes was actually a super-clutch bomb to put his team up by 1 with under a minute left, or that he hit two ultra-clutch free throws to extend that lead after Trevor Booker lost his cool and threw him to the hardwood. Damn. I’m getting sweaty just thinking about it.
Not bad for a dude on 10-day.
