Almost every player's averages shrink in the playoffs. When defenses get more physical and teams game-plan for the star player, they are less efficient and score less.
Michael Jordan’s stats ROSE in the playoffs. Teams tried to double and triple him to stop him, yet he kept dropping 33-50 on their heads🔥
33.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game in 179 playoff games. This scoring average is the HIGHEST in NBA postseason history.

Allen Iverson was a PROBLEM on the football field in high school. 🏈
"AI" led Bethel (VA) to a state title in 1992 as a QB, safety, and returner, racking up 2,200+ yards and 35 TDs. Also a hard-hitting safety, he set a state record with seven interceptions in a single game. 🤯
He was named the Virginia High School Player of the Year in both football and basketball. 🏆
Dallas Braden lost his mother to melanoma when he was just 17 years old.

After the game he hugged his grandmother, Peggy Lindsey, who had been by his side since the beginning. ❤️

A ridiculously hard shot to get, but worth the effort.
When he got hired, everyone questioned it - who’s this high school guy?
But after just a few years, he's got the entire community ALL IN and has built @TexasTechFB into a top program in college football.
In this interview, Joey McGuire opens up in a way you haven’t seen before...
How he’s built the program, battling through adversity, the moment his wife told him to START WINNING GAMES, the moments of doubt, what he wants his players to say at his funeral, and what it will take to win a natty at Texas Tech.
“I want to be the winningest coach in Texas Tech history.”
This is @JoeyMcGuireTTU, unfiltered.
