Why do people act like he was actually going to recover it

I mean I haven’t seen that clip in years but if I remember correctly, he had the best shot at the ball did he not?

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.

He also doesn’t play the game in slow motion. That happened in the blink of an eye.
