Meaning of yeet in English

"to throw something with a lot of force"

– Oxford English Dictionary

Looks like I learned something today. Though is there something wrong with just saying “threw”?

I made a half-assed guess as to its meaning based on the fact that I've heard of an elite basketball player by that name. I got pretty close, according to urban dictionary.
