That would be this great magazine piece http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/magazine/15Battier-t.html?... written by Michael Lewis. If you're looking for the quote about the three it is at the end of the article, and is made more interesting by the context of the 'lucky' shot. Briefly - Kobe misses 86.3% of long 3 pointers heaved up in the final seconds of games. The Rockets knew this. Quoting now: 'It was a shot Battier could live with, even if it turned out to be good. Battier looked back to see the ball drop through the basket and hit the floor. In that brief moment he was the picture of detachment, less a party to a traffic accident than a curious passer-by. And then he laughed. The process had gone just as he hoped. The outcome he never could control.' |
