That Kawhi shot wasn’t lucky at all. What occurred there was Kawhi was in the zone. When you’re in the zone you just throw the ball in the air and a higher power leads it towards the rim. You don’t even have to throw it in the direction of the basket most times and it’ll go it. It’s just how the Zone works.

I genuinely want to get on the same page with you...Since we are talking about instances of choking in ones career, can you explain to me how Jordan’s performance in 1990 against Detroit isn’t “choking” under your definition? His stats were essentially the exact same as Harden’s minus 3PPG.
In my opinion, he was good, but could’ve been better, and they lost to a better team.
I just want to hear how you would interpret it.

I realise that but the way some people are saying “lucky shot” in a disingenuous way can be misleading.Trolling like hell.
To say that because a player is great means they can’t hit a lucky shot is crazy.
Buddy the bounce was part of the shot...the **** are you talking about

Kawhi’s shot wasn’t luck...he purposely shot it to make sure there’s more air/arc under the ball. At an angle where it would most likely hit the front rim and bounce around 2-3 times before falling...
Sixer fans are something else today

Should the 76ers tank again and get the #1 pick? Lowkey would be genius

You do realize that up until that point, MJ was labeled a ball hog and not a player you could win a title with, right? I guess that's one of the saving graces if you're a Harden fan that he has time, but then again MJ's skillset and overall game sns competitiveness were so much more superior.
MJ was getting killed in the media, justifiably as should Harden be right now.

I rewatched that game recently. Almost everyone on both sides were shooting like 30 percent or lower.Kobe did killed for shooting awful that game. Everybody shot terrible that game. That was a ugly game 7. His effort never stopped though. Which is whats required to win a game like that.
Kobe avg 34, 8, 7 on 52/43/88 in the conference finals that year also.
In 08 against the defending champ Spurs he avg 29 on 58 TS%.
In the 02 finals Kobe avg 27, 6, 5 on 51/54/80. That's 62 TS% for ya'll out there.
Ya'll gotta stop bringing up Kobe when you want to defend Harden. Kobe's game ain't fall off a cliff in the playoffs. His regular season #'s are damn near identical to his playoff #'s. Harden ain't on that level.
