Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor has some massive mitts
Duke freshman forward Jahlil Okafor played a huge part in the Blue Devils dominating Michigan State 81-61 on Saturday in the Final Four and advancing to Monday's national championship.

It's no surprise Okafor had a huge game. He's been one of the best basketball players in the nation all season. ESPN reporter Shannon Spake picked a perfect time during the game to share a picture she took of Okafor's massive hand palming a ball back in February.
Okafor is 6-foot-11 and his huge hands helped him score 18 points, grab six rebounds, block two shots and make two steals against the Spartans. If Duke goes on to win the national title and Okafor plays well once again Monday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him named MOP of the Final Four.
