Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3450246, member: 9260"] 'The TO stat kind of surprised me, because he still seems to have trouble dribbling on the perimeter. Half the time when he changes direction, he looks like he's on the verge of losing control of the ball, even when he's not being covered tightly. Yet when he weaves through a congested lane, his handle is pretty good. A matter of concentration?' im starting to think that a lot of people here 'see' the games, but not nearly as many 'watch' them. for the umpteenth time, does anyone realize that [I]he's wearing a brace on his hand????[/I] and from the looks of it, it's the absolutely, categorically worst hand problem to have - a thumb one. any athlete, check that, [I]any primate[/I] who has ever sprained/tore the thumb knows exactly what im talking about. to answer your question, when in plodding handle mode, its easy to hear the little voice saying 'remember the thumb!' when going hard, well there's no time to think, only time to just do it. you know those stars over a character's head in a cartoon when they get whacked? try having that injury, nursing and rehabbing it along for a long while, feeling better as time goes on. then wham! you reinjure it. now, you too will see them.
