NBA Glass Brains

[Angel Face]

Players whose glass brain would eventually shatter under pressure.

1. LeBron James

- Disappearing acts in 4th quarters.

- Chokes under his own pressure (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322504).

- Poor 2007 finals performance.

- Quits against Boston 2010.

- Decided to collude and form a super team to win his 1st championship, but his glass brain gets shattered against Mavs during 2011 finals.

- Almost choked against boston 2012 ECF, until he's cornered then his survival instict kicks in to win ECF. Decided that he doesn't wan't to be a laughing stock anymore. Shockingly played well against young Thunder team to win his 1st ring.

- His Glass brain almost got shattered again during 2013 Finals only to be saved by Ray Allen. Then with proper reheating, his glass brain regain it's form to eventually win the championship.

- not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7... but 8 points in a Finals Game. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFe8KUEQdn4)

2. Wilt Chamberlain

- Great regular season performer, but his glass brain couldn't handle the bright lights of NBA Finals. Grandfather of all chokes. Would eventually be canonized in the near future as the saint of NBA chokes.

3. Karl Malone

- The Mailman Doesn't deliver on Sunday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e03kAurk32k). Game on the line but his glass brain couldn't handle pressure, eventually gets shattered.

Hey man, good list, but KARL MALONE?

I saw that and was like damn, one of these things is not like the others. Don't hate on the guy just because he couldn't beat THE GOAT.

Must suck knowing "glass-brained" Lebron is better than Kobe ever was.

Either you are horsing around or just an epic dumbass

Must suck knowing "glass-brained" Lebron is better than Kobe ever was.

If Jordan, Kobe, Giannis, Durant, or Bird were guarded the way Lebron was in the finals, they'd all drop 40 a game. Must suck to see teams disrespect your boy like that.

[GOATbe]

:applause:

[KirbyPls]

Better add Kobe to the list:

1. Averaged under 24 ppg on less than 40% shooting his heavily-favored team to a 4-1 loss against the Pistons;

2. Jeopardized his freedom, career, reputation, and team's season with Ms. Faber in Col.;

3. Couldn't realize his own beta status compared to Shaq, insisted on alpha-dog status on the Lakers squad;

4. Lost in the first round twice during his peak;

5. Missed the playoffs entirely during his peak;

6. Blew a 3-1 lead against the Suns, in part, by petulantly refusing to shoot for an entire second half in a playoff game 7;

7. Went public to demand a trade to Clippers, Bulls, or any other contender unless he received more help (stacking the deck in his own way);

8. Losing by 39 points in a Finals clinching loss to the Celtics;

10. Shooting 6-24, for 23 points (on 10 free throws in the fourth) and 15 boards (kudos) in the biggest game of his career, before watching Ron Artest hit the effective game-winning three;

11. Gets swept by the Mavs as a heavily favored title threat in an attempt to three-peat.

Dat Glass Brain Doe. :lol

Kobe has shown time and time again that he's one of the best clutch players in the NBA. He belongs to the NBA Iron Brain category.

Another Glass Brain to add on the list.

Dwight Howard

- This guy has played well earlier in his career in Orlando. He's also a great contributor to their trip to the NBA finals but his fragile glass brain was almost shattered by Kobe and the Lakers.

- With his Glass brain almost shattered and not functioning well, he bitches about his team and throws his coaches and team mates under the bus, and asked to be traded to L.A. Lakers.

- In L.A. however, his glass brain couldn't handle handle the pressure, eventually breaks then bitches again about his team, Kobe and his coach. Decided to join Houston Rockets to team up with another Glass Brain suspect, James Harden.
