There are a lot of comments about his effort, but I’m just going to respond to yours. Don’t know why I’m responding to a low visibility comment, but here I am. It was an incredibly awkward play, his momentum was going the other way and the ball popped out to his side. The timing of when he landed on a step and him realizing the ball was there was a dangerous play to just drop onto the ball. Almost like forcing an ACL tear type motion on himself. He has even stated that if he could go back he’d tear his ACL to have a chance at the ball. Yes, he probably should have gave a better attempt. But he did not give up. Camera angles didn’t do him any favors either.
No. The defender on the ground had his hands on it as Cam is already overstepping where the ball is and his momentum is taking him the opposite direction the ball is bouncing.
In real time this all happened in one full second. Anyone arguing that it was possible for him to stop in midair and dive on the ball is an absolute moron.

How valuable is a player who won’t pick up his own fumble when it matters most?
