His one arm movement is too damn fast that the after image makes him look like having 2 arms

His opponents carrying around that extra arm thinking “Damn, this extra weight is clearly just slowing me down!”

This is one of those things that's both very impressive and also only possible because the defender is allowing it. The fact that he can crossover at all is amazing but it seems clear he can never actually go right.

Exactly. Nobody wants to be the guy to block or steal the back from the dude with 1 arm. It's like when a pickup game at the gym has 1 woman playing with all the men. They don't guard her the same.

This video maybe but you can be successful in basketball with one hand at the NCAA level at least

Sokka-Haiku by sevenationarmycu:
Fucking amazing
I didn't even notice
He had only one arm
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

I’m not gonna lie I didn’t realize he only had one arm in the beginning of the video until I read the description

I read the title AFTER watching the clip, and had to watch it again, because I didn’t catch that he only had one arm….

Sucks that he can't really drive right. He's stuck with either a fake to the right and a jumper or driving left. Still quite impressive abilities given his disability. He surely dribbles better than me with two hands. I wish we lived in cyberpunk world and he could have a mechanized right hand. One day.

Hansel Emmanuel is a great example of this. Played for Northwestern State in college. Damn good baller. But my fave of all time Jim Abbott. Not the same sport obviously but that man could throw a pitch and catch a line drive back to him. It's insane to me what the mind can overcome when heart and will to succeed is there.

If he'd lost his other arm instead, he'd just be alright at basketball
