Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4210531, member: 11664"] I'm not sure what 85% even means when talking about Paige. Any player can start off a game being 100%, and within 15 minutes of playing they could only be performing at 85% because they're temporarily fatigued. Then with a little bench rest or a time out, they're back up to 99.9%. I think that many if not all players perform in spurts. When everyone is running up & down the court, they're all experiencing fluctuations in their metabolism that can temporarily rob them of their maximum potential. But some players have an extra performance gear that others may not have. I don't think that anyone really knows how it all works, but the body has a lot of chemical reactions going on, and then there's the brain and the spirit. Between the body, mind and the spirit, there must be some give & take between them that allows a person to excel despite a temporary deficiency in one of them. No one uses 100% of their brain anyway, so maybe 100% of a person's body is never actually being utilized when playing basketball either. What percentage of the body is being used to make a shot? 20%? 30%? 40%? Keep guessing because I don't know either. "If it makes Paige feel good, then just let her do it" I'm sure that Geno will let Paige do it when she says that she's ready. But maybe only in small spurts at the very beginning during team work outs. Then "Paige will be Paige." "Let Paige be Paige!" Geno already has enough gray hair! [/QUOTE]
