I can believe that a lot of players get nervous in the clutch situations but it also seems like a lot of players thrive off of it, like Big Shot Bob. Great link Wigman. I know we needed to change up the team to get past Seattle but dam I wished we could've kept Horry. Think about all those clutch shots he made later on including a few for the Spurs and Lakers against the Rox. I imagine after he burned the Spurs playing for the Lakers the Spurs the Spurs figured they better have him back on their bench if they were going to get the title again. And they were right..
There's no reason to be nervous when there's no pressure on you, a la Horry. He's never had to deal with pressure in the NBA before; it's always been up to someone else to deliver.
Actually, Horry, like everyone else, is human: newsflash, he used to get nervous. It took a tragic, life changing event off-court to give him the perspective that allows him to brush off pressure sitations on-court.
so maybe a rabid dallas fan should go and find out who dirk cares about and......ahhh that's too nasty to think about/make fun of, much less post.
actually, ignore the "blah blah blah" i wrote. the rest of the article gives even more insight into his demeanor. (though the article is pretty long.)
What's your point? None of that changes the fact that Dirk (and other franchise players) has more on his shoulders every game than Horry ever did.
You and I are in agreement here, I think. Look again at my posts in this thread. I don't interpret what Dirk said as him admitting that he's a choker. Basically I went chasing down a rebuttal to a rebuttal to my rebuttal ( ), and now I guess everything's fubar and nobody knows who's on whose side anymore. Fog of war type stuff.
