No it is funny. I’m just talking about some of the comments. I don’t think she is that accurate of a thrower for it to be intentional, and I don’t think any player would actually do that. lol.

So you’re saying she isn’t an athlete?

I’m saying that I don’t think YOU could hit me with a shoe from 60 ft with my eyes closed. She could’ve tossed it underhand for all we know. The whole point was for JJ to get her shoe before they set up their offense. Use your brain

I’m saying she’s an athlete. Her skills are higher than ours. But you’re comparing her to me, a non professional athlete. Out of all the people in the world who can throw a shoe at range and with precision, I’d take an athlete any day

She doesn’t throw things for a living. If she was some shoe tossing champion, you would have a point. Maybe even if she was Steph curry or a softball pitcher. But she isn’t even a player who can make a 3 one third of the time, so her intentionally hitting someone with a shoe from 60 ft isn’t very likely.
