Jordan, those dudes won't run away from the ball.
But I've seen a lot of times in games where I've seen great players get in position where they're like, man, I don't want that ball, man.
Don't give me the ball.
I know I'm getting paid to get it.
I don't want that damn ball.
Wait, what are you doing?
You know, I'm going to name a player, and this is pretty good.
I'm going to name a player because he's one of my favorite teammates.
It was Kevin McHale.
Kevin McHale was one of the greatest players ever to play the game.
We were watching a tape one time after the game was over, and he had missed some free throws.
We looked at his damn knees.
And his knees start buckling when he was getting ready to shoot the first one.
What the hell?
And you can ask him today.
He'll laugh if you ever see him anytime.
But that day, he didn't want it.
He didn't want it.
He's one of the greatest players ever to play the game.
So I don't care who you are.
