    Default ATTN People here that think you can measure stuff like "heart" and "determination"

    Why?

    They are idiots and they think babbling about "heart" and "determination" somehow makes someone like Allen Iverson a better player than he really was.

    One way to measure heart is to kill the individual or put him/her in heavy sleep. Then proceed to dissect the individual, so that you can be able to measure the heart.

    Or utilize x-rays and estimate using other parts of the body as reference to the heart.

    You can't measure it. That's why they're called intangibles.

    like with most things, you measure with a test.

    an eye test.

    You can measure that stuff. There are actual stats for stuff like "heart" and "killer instinct". You just don't know because you're a casual.

    It's pretty easy to see an enlarged heart in an X-ray. As a general rule of thumb, if the heart is wider than 50% of the thoracic wall length, that's a sign of cardiomegaly. No need to dissect the individual these days when we have such great imaging techniques.

    Will, heart, determination means absolutely nothing if you dont have enough skill/talent from yourself or your supporting cast to complement what your will/heart/determination is striving for anyways...... but when you do have all the skill/talent then you are naturally confident & assured of your/your teammates abilities and hence the will/heart/determination ambitions can be closer met....

    This is not boxing/MMA....

    that's heart failure


    big emphasis on the latter word...


    Iverson had a lots of heart.. ended up in failure
