statistical analysis is not necessary. the game is 90% mental, according to jordan.
Yes, a brilliant thought from the game's greatest physical specimen, who had that rare mental ability to suspend gravity. And I love the way MJ writes and runs things, don't you? In your world it would seem he's just a few ticks away from Einstein, isn't he?

Yes, a lack of poise. We all know how everyone was talking up PP's Poise before the inaugural Starphucque occurred in Celtic land. Does Melo ever make any of those quick shots? Gee, he is scoring almost 30 ppg, and by golly, look, the team he plays for is at the top of the division! How the f*&k did that happen taking and missing all those stupid retaliation shots. And imagine Woody, catering to an offensive machine. How dare he!
Stop hanging out at tkf's house. That water will kill your objectivity completely by the All star break.
Wow, and you provided statistics anyway. At least your eating some of Bonn's lunchmeats as well.
