Durant Avoids Heaves at the Buzzer to Keep His Shooting Percentage High

[Sarcastic]

Kevin Durant: ‘It depends on what I’m shooting from the field. First quarter if I’m 4-for-4, I let it go. Third quarter if I’m like 10-for-16, or 10-for-17, I might let it go. But if I’m like 8-for-19, I’m going to go ahead and dribble one more second and let that buzzer go off and then throw it up there. So it depends on how the game’s going.’ Russell Westbrook: ‘No. Nope … If I was considering about [statistics] I’d do a lot of shit different.’”

The new stats driven NBA. LeBron and Wade have talked about doing this. This is why stats are such bs.

AAU needs to either be coached better or go away entirely.

Love Westbrooks' response.

This is why Russell is the leader of the team

LeBron does this ALL the time. There will be 3 sec left in the quarter and he will just hold the ball or pass it to someone else.

A good leader gets mad sometimes.

Things are so overrated these days.
Everything analysed and scrutinized.
Plenty of great leaders back in the day have blown up like that.

[MMM]
