KD been hushed and getting roasted by Dirk in OT.
To be fair, he shouldn't have been guarding him in the first place.

Like I said, it's just a personal observation type thing. A lot of athletes tend to overthink when they're in pressure situations, I admire the players who are able to get in a zone and achieve the height of their skills. Jordan, Kobe, and Durant are the basketball players who always give me that feeling that they have utmost confidence, and are unafraid of the moment. It's an intangible thing
Edit: and add Dirk to that list of course
I still see durant deferring to Westbrook in the 4th

The Mavs fighting for the 8th seed this year and last year was/is more entertaining than some of the years they were "contenders" in the mid 00s.

Dallas should make a run at Marcin Gortat this summer in free agency, that would be a formidable squad

I just listed a bunch of examples of Bron doing the same thing, not to mention he has a higher FG% than Kobe and KD in those situations, you just don't wanna admit your bias. You can't put on historic performances in must win games with the pressure of the world on you without those "intangibles".
As the great American scholar Future once said, "Ain't no way around itttt".

Honestly the 2011 Finals series is still a huge black mark for Lebron in this discussion. Even in light of the other things he's done, it's hard for me to make sense of what happened in that series. It's still inexplicable to this day. And I thought he had put it past him completely, but he still looked shaky in some of those games against the Spurs last year. It's my opinion/observation that Lebron has a tendency to overthink in pressure situations. *Tendency* doesn't mean he does it every single time, but from what I've noticed that tendency is always lurking there.Like I said, it's just a personal observation type thing.

Kobe played pretty bad in both recent Finals wins, Pau shoulda been MVP in one of them and Dirk only started playing well in postseason in 2011.
Once again, the bias.
It was 1 series, he's won two rings and delivered in the clutch more times than I can count since then.
Believe what you want though my man.

Man Kobe need to stop
Shaq was lazy but he was the most valuable player on those championship teams.
Get that man back on the court so he stops making an *** out of himself in the media.

Wait what?
Dirk's had two bad playoff series ever. The 2006 Finals and 2007 first round that's it.
