....it looks as if every other NBA superstar wants to wait until it's 6 seconds left on the clock to drive and score.

I still don't understand why these dudes wait until the last second to shoot, trying to get the storybook ending.

Shoot it earlier and maybe your team gets an offensive put back or something.

shyt is annoying as fukk.

Last year, it was Melo "waiting" until six seconds left to take try to get off his shot against the Celts. This time, it was Kobe waiting until 7 seconds left to try to drive it but got fouled. He cost the Lakers extra time, forcing that 0.3 seconds left in the game where they could have tied it.

I'm tired of these "signature moment" chasing ass niqqas in basketball today.

Not only that, but I've noticed since they added the tenths of a second on the shot clock this yaer, dudes stay trying to be shot clock buzzer beating heroes. And they're generally awful shots.

There is some strategy behind it. If you are an under-dog why not just try to end it, giving the other team no chance...?

I wouldn't be hung up on some underdog status.

Score ASAP. If you hit it, trust your defense. If you don't, you live to fight for another offensive possession.

For real.

Sure Magic was worried about Bird making this last shot after he hit the baby hook. But he wasn't trying for that "one shining moment" bullshyt these niqqas look for at the end of games.

the irony in bringing MJ's shot over Russell up to show this is that there were 5.2 seconds left on the clock when Jordan scored.

Utah still had another possession and had their chance too. That is often forgotten with these hero shot warriors.

The irony is that MJ left time on the clock too after he hit that shot

both of you posting about irony at the sametime is irony

I CAME IN HERE TO SAY THIS.
THAT'S WHY THIS IS SUCH A shytTY THREAD IMO.

JORDAN HAS A BUNCH OF GW WINNING BUZZER BEATERS,
INCLUDING ONE AGAINST UTAH IN THE 97 FINALS.

PPL BLAMING THE 98 SHOT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
:devil:
