First to you n the other person. This is a FORUM not a Lit & Comp class. So grammar, spelling, etc aren't being graded. Secondly to the "those that can't do coach"... the saying is those that cant do teach. Coaching and Teaching are 2 very different professions. Teaching doesn't require recruiting, evaluation of talent at a prep level, projection of long term success, establishing strenght and conditioning program, travel to and from games and to and from recruiting events. There's a reason the highest paid teachers dont come close to the highest paid members of the coaching fraternity. (not saying they shouldn't... My mom taught 43 years in public school system! UNDERPAID!!!!) And you probably know but in basketball the percentage at any level D3 to NBA is extremely low for people who attempt to enter coaching having never been a player themselves. but to the point below.
See the confusion i think people have with Lebron is that he didn't increase he clutch ability. He made 1 game winner the entire playoffs. and on his career has an exceptional low P.E.R. in situations where his team is down 1 or 2 with under 2 mins. (Pacers playoff game 2 bad turnovers, missed 2 3s against spurs and had 2 bad turnovers. thus saved by Ray Allen...who has an NBA all time top 5 PER in those same situations. Behind guys like Derrick Fisher & Robert Horry.) So again BB or not clutch isn't making the game winner its your PER in situations under 2 mins in close games. What i was saying in my post to start before we started jumping all over the place with this is that I believe (MY OPINION) that BB has a trait for players that takes into effect "clutch" and somehow increases or decreases a players in game performance in certain situations based on that hidden clutch factor.
This does NOT mean that certain guys always hit game winners, or FTs...But in the last 2 mins turn the ball over less, or get critical steals on possession when the other team is trying to tie or win the game. Block a shot etc. Again just being a basketball mind here reading inbetween the lines of my games. Thats all. is this fact NO, is it backed by some waste of my time in depth analysis NO. Just opinion in response to the original topic.
Thanks for weighing in though i appreciate the conversation about not just the game but also real basketball.
