CHARLOTTE — Everybody and their baby’s momma, Uncle LeRoy and cousin Man-Man is talking about Scottie Pippen’s appearance on First Take on Thursday with Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman. Scottie jumped out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talking crazy again and everybody applauded the foolishness that came out of his mouth including Stephen A.
The dun said that LeBron didn’t have the clutch gene that Jordan and Kobe had. He even went so far as to say that Paul George had it as well as Kawhi and Young Russ (Russell Westbrook). He went on to use the example of LeBron not having the clutch gene by the fact that the other night, a Tuesday night in February, with the game on the line, LeBron didn’t chase a loose ball on the floor. This was the foolishness ole boy was saying.
So let’s keep it real of all the way 100, whichever comes comes 1st! My background has been in sales for the past 29 years. Therefore, I’ve made a living using numbers, figures and facts only. I can’t walk into a clients office with my opinion. I’ve got to give him and her the #FACTS because my opinion gets me nowhere. My opinion doesn’t tell them what they want to know only the #FACTS.
Therefore lets break down what Scottie said. When he says that LeBron doesn’t have the clutch gene like Mike and Kobe what does that mean? Does it mean that he can’t hit clutch shots or won’t hit clutch shots?
Either way he’s wrong based on the #FACTS!!! The numbers suggest that LeBron is more clutch than both of them.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, LeBron has already hit 5 buzzer-beaters calculated as go-ahead shots in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime in his postseason career, which is two more than Jordan had during his 15 seasons in the league. That was as of last year. So comparing their 15 year careers last year Jordan is 5-11 for 45 percent in clutch situations and LeBron is 7-15 for 47 percent in those same situations. Mike had 3 buzzer beaters and LeBron had 5 through 15 seasons. Kobe was even worse!! He’s 6 of 28 in those same situations at 21 percent. THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE! STOP IT!!!
So therefore, Scottie is talking out of his butt just trying to sound like he knows what he’s talking about. I don’t care that he played with Mike. The numbers don’t lie!!! Just because he has the same six rings that Mike has doesn’t mean that he knows what he’s talking about.
Isn’t Scottie the same cat that said a few years ago that LeBron was better than Mike. Then once boyz started diving on him about it he changed his mind? He said it but couldn’t handle the pressure of being an independent thinker.
That’s Mike’s boy!!! Do you really expect him to say LeBron is more clutch than Mike in Mike’s town? C’mon bruh!!! Let’s be real here but the NUMBERS DON’T LIE.
Now let’s lets get into the absurdity of him trying to compare Young Russ, Kawhi and Paul George to LeBron. First of all, none of those players are nowhere near being on LeBron’s level as players. So it’s asinine to even bring their names up. But the dun completely dove into the deep end of the pool and drowned when he said that Paul George had the clutch gene.
I covered Paul George from the time he walked into the league in 2010 until he was traded to OKC last year. The dun was 0-16 in last second shots to win or tie a game!!! 0-16 bruh!!!! So unless over the past year he’s been 100 percent in knocking down at least 16 shots to make up for his 0-16 start. Scottie has lost his mind and everybody listenin’ to him is just as crazy.
Let’s address the foolishness of him saying that LeBron didn’t chase after a loose ball on this past Tuesday which is a Tuesday night in February. First of all, LeBron plays through mid-June every year. So on a Tuesday night in February he’s not chasing loose balls on the floor. Stop it you sound crazy. There are very few players that chase loose balls on a Tuesday night in February in the NBA. The season’s too long bruh.
Kevin Garnett is my favorite player of all-time because he played every game like it was the Finals. So on a Tuesday night in February he would be the only cat chasing balls like that. Secondly, Scottie and Stephan A. are sitting there acting like they didn’t see LeBron just miss 17 games and 5 weeks worth of basketball. The dun is in no game shape right now. He just came back and you think he’s about to chase a loose ball on a Tuesday night in February? You sound like a complete fool making that statement.
Every player coming back into the rotation is on restrictions and is working themselves back into game shape. You can’t miss 17 games with a groin injury and chase a darn loose ball on the floor in February. You sound crazy. So unless you’ve got #FACTS to substantiate the foolishness you’re saying stop saying it. In the famous words of the homie Jay-Z, “Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t!” Stop me when I start lyin’!
