JahlilOkafor's enormous hands achieved legendary status before the newly minted Philadelphia 76er even made his NBA Summer League debut. I mean, look at them. Their freaking huge. Like what even are those?

With the hands of a giant, one could safely assume that Okafor could easily defeat a non-NBA athlete in a thumb war, as his thumb would probably make the other dude's thumb look like an infant's pinky. NOT SO.

Here is visual evidence that Okafor struggles to defeat a simple civilian, in this case Bleacher Report's Adam Lefkoe, in a thumb war. In fact, it sort of looks like his thumb goes under at the end of the video. Okafor is hereby declared a bust and will never flourish in the NBA. A bust I say!
