Imo ,most of the time,it is not about being smart or braver,some players just have different mindset or mentality,some players just have playmaker mentality like magic,lebron,etc while some have scoring mentality like mj and kobe.me factor din siguro yung idol nila while growing up.in their mind maybe they were thinking what will my idol do in this kind of situation,haha
So for me hindi takot si lebron tumira or hindi smart si kobe dahil imbes na ipasa eh tiinira pa din kahit double teamed.
It is just their dna or mindset.this is from a casual fan that used to bash lbj for being afraid to take those clutch shots
