I did. And still understand sample size.

Do you understand that regular season statistics include the fact that a player does not play with 100% focus and effort for every minute of an 80+ game season? Do they account for the fact that opponents do not play defense at the same level during the regular season as they do in the playoffs? Do they account for the pressure of making a big shot when the season is on the? The increased effort of defenses in the final minutes of a close game in the finals? It is so insane that you are unwilling to recognize all the circumstances that exist in real world sports that to some extent invalidate your large sample size stats.

When players have a big enough postseason or clutch sample, they revert to their mean. I remember when Ovechkin was considered a choker. The problem is uneducated people take a small postseason sample and try to claim that players are clutch or not clutch. I also find the argument comical like a player doesn't try at certain points, but then tries in the postseason. I guess Durant didn't try on the other 17 3 point attempts, but has laser like focus on the last one!

Its like the Derek Jeter is clutch nonsense. The dude's regular season and post season numbers are almost identical with him playing almost a full season worth of post season games.

You seem to think athletes are robots. Of course they don't bring the same level of focus in every game of an 80+ game season when there is often nothing on the line. To think otherwise is to be completely naive to the human condition.

You continue to not understand sample size. Unless you believe players are not trying in half the games.
