Yes, but not more popular than your fantasy league.

The timing of the losing would define choke, much like the timing of the winning would define clutch.

A player/team who has success at the end of game/season when pressure is highest is determined to be clutch. Therefore the converse must also be true.

But I think that the concept of "clutch" has pretty much been proven to be perception rather than reality. Who are the "clutch" players and why do you believe them to be "clutch"?

Robert Horry.

So if you needed one guy to make a shot, you'd go to Horry rather than Jordan or Isiah or Kobe?

You didn't ask who was better. You asked for an example of a clutch player.

That's the point. The better player is the clutch player.

You'd rather have the ball in Horry's hands than LeBron's with the game on the line?

I think LeBron has been pretty successful. I'll go with him. You can take Horry. Who do you want in the second round?

You believe the best player is always the most clutch. I disagree.

It's cool.

With as much time as you have spent trolling this section over the past week or so, do you really think it's wise to play that card now?

CHOKE. CHOKE. RANT. White Sox CHOKE. All in all they did have a much better season than anyone would have thought. But in the end they CHOKED it away. Or they just did not play very well at the end of the season. It is what it is and will be remembered for what it could have been.

The first sentence is obvious. I think the second is wrong as they likely won't be remembered at all. How many people remember 1967 when all the Sox had to do to wrap it up was beat the two worst teams in the league?

Now there can be no question.

This wasn't a choke. Just ran into a team of destiny.

Mac and Finfer confused me by calling the Sox "a team that had everything go right" and was a lot closer to being bad than being good. And here I thought they were a good team that choked. You just never know.
