You're kidding, right? Coco was faster than JBJ so I'm not sure J would have gotten to that ball. Let's not denigrate Coco to praise JBJ. JBJ is the best I've ever seen too but that Coco catch was jump-out-of-your-chair stupendous.
It was a bit tongue in cheek. The Coco catch, as I said, is the best I've ever seen. I was not denigrating Coco, but merely pointing out that JBJ had an uncanny ability to get a jump on the ball and make, what would have been difficult catches for other players, look routine and easy. Going back to the Coco catch though, it looked even more amazing when seen from different angles as the ball seemed to be going away from him.

Now to jump on the other side of the argument, the ball was only going away from Coco because he didn't take the exact right route. :)
