That wasn't atrocious ball skills.
CJ played that perfectly but Johnson is 6-5 with long arms and a 42 inch vertical. When he times that well he's going to go over anyone around him and that's exactly what happened. It is not comparable at all to the play in the Broconos/Ravens game especially since there wasn't 30 seconds left in the game at that point and he didn't fall flat on his *** whle misplaying the ball by about 5 yards.
Reinforcing your point. From Sports Science
Johnson's reach might be the most impressive part of the video. Combining his 45-inch vertical, 6-foot-5 frame, 6-foot-10 wingspan, and 8-feet-8-inch standing reach, Johnson has a reach similar to that of Shaquille O'Neal's, which is apparently the largest ever documented in the NBA -- 12-feet-5-inches. That's absurd, but you can't argue with science.
