Why isn't he a pitcher instead of a basketball player then? There's no way it's "easy" for a NBA player to throw a 90 MPH fastball for strikes. Baseball has a completely different skill set than most sports. I wouldn't be surprised if most NBA players couldn't throw a baseball 75 MPH, since they don't know the proper mechanics.

Lol. do you know how slow 75 mph is? I was throwing 75 mph when I was a 140 pound 14 year old kid with very little strength.

I'm not saying it'd be easy for a random NBA player to throw 90, I'm just saying it'd be very likely that one guy on the team would be able to do it.
