If missed, it's as inconsequential as a missed shot in the 1st quarter. the game goes on.

That's not pressure.

That 1st quarter shot isn't replayed thousands of times with the comment of "LeBron misses another clutch shot". Million times even worse if they go into overtime and lose. Let's not act like everyone was shytting on Bron for missing that layup in the last game and that wasn't even a game tying or winning shot, there was still like three minutes left in the quarter when he missed that.

Stop now and just take your L bruh.

In that shot is the ability to end the game. The consequence is prolonging it. In the 1st quarter, the game was going to go on anyway. In those last few seconds? You have to close it.

The pressure comes from knowing the game will end. If the game is tied that pressure is lifted.

You can take that shot and the game can continue.

Or you can not take that shot and the game will continue.

But like the first quarter shot, if you miss it the game goes on and you got another opportunity to win the game.

What the media does doesn't matter. Put yourself in the situation (if you've never been). When you break that huddle there is no pressure on you like there would be if you were down 1 point.

Exactly. Pressure comes from knowing you can end the game. This argument is silly man, less pressure isn't no pressure.

That shot was clutch.

The game will not end if I fumble the ball off my foot or miss the shot. What's the consequence of me fukking up in that spot?

lol. Put yourself in the situation, breh. That shot has about as much pressure as the shots you take in the park as a kid when you're counting down the seconds yourself.
