If he had tried to reach with his other hand, he would have missed it completely

Or been out of bounds w twisting motion to get 2 hands on it

You are right, that is an unpopular opinion and the wrong one I might add

Did you know that a person can reach farther with one hand than with two?

If he didn't have any hands, it would have been even harder to catch

So you also think if someone can dunk with 1 hand you can dunk with 2?

No way. Slovis threw too high and too fast. Amazing he got even one hand on it

Stretching high and back with 1 hand is easier than with 2.

There is one thing you got right in your post--that it would be an unpopular opinion

Watch it again. Chase goes up with both arms but then has to drop one in order to extend the other far enough.

Had he rotated his body in order to get both hands in the same spot the ball would have sailed right past him.

If he forced it with two hands, he'd have missed it with both
