Israeli basketball star Deni Avdija, who played his rookie season for the NBA's Washington Wizards this year, had the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before Thursday's MLB game between the Nationals and Dodgers.

Avdija handled himself relatively well by throwing or rather lobbing his pitch in the general vicinity of the plate to Nationals pitcher Joe Ross.
"For me, it's a new experience but I had fun, got my arm ready a little bit, practiced some throws, got it [near] the plate so that's all that matters," Avdija told the Wizards official website after the event.
Considering the many horrendous first-pitches we've seen from celebrities and even other athletes in the past, Avdija can still sleep well at night.
