That is honestly about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Some players do get more nervous when a shot/series/play means more...they don't play as loose, becuase their is more pressure on them. Some players play better in those circumstances, because they become even looser when they have more to prove. The latter is far rarer than the former...and this applies to any profession (not just sports).Of course of course it's the "dumbest" thing you've heard. I mean that's why Alex Rodriguez was seen as the biggest choke job in the playoffs, yet somehow he magically produced the way he does in the regular season in the playoffs last year leading the Yankees to a World Series. Did A-Rod get balls before the 2009 playoffs? Did he get medication to play more loose? Did he get laid right before a game? ZOMG the possibilities! The answer is, well he just happened to perform like his normal self in the playoffs. This type of shit happens! It's called streaks, sometimes they happen in the playoffs sometimes they happen in the regular season.To say there's no such thing as "clutch" is just dumb, man, and you gotta understand where i'm coming from. Of course, some players who usually fold under pressure might face the pressure calmly at some point. Or it could also be that there are some players who don't always fold under pressure..maybe it depends on the mood they're in as they're facing the pressure. But, really, there's no doubt about it, some players are clearly more prone to folding under pressure, while some are more prone to intensifying their game under that same pressure, and performing at higher levels when there's more at stake. It's really not debatable...PeACe

Nobody is denying (as far as I've seen) that Kobe hasn't had his share of failures. But at the end of the day Kobe has 4 rings and Lebron zero. I don't see how that's not a relevant argument. It's not like they are some average players, with little ambition who are happy just to play in the NBA. It's fucking Lebron and Kobe. It's just like music, where you have artist on a major label who obviously want sales, worldwide tours, grammy awards.... Then you have independent aritst who are happy with their small loyal fan base.
lakers fans have being saying that for years. all we keep hearing from you retards is how jordan, shaq, and magic did on their own.....now you fags are hiding behind this team shit b/c you dont want give kobe his props, it's kobes fault when they lose but it's the team when they win..lol
If Cleveland wins the championship, this thread will end up pretty funny lol
