"They wanted it more" is such BS

Downhill runner

deceptive speed

No, you're wrong. Hustle and concentration score a lot of points/stop a lot of points. Wanting it makes a big difference. If yoI've even played pickup ball you know this.

Anyone that has played sports knows that this is true. I was apart of some good teams that lost games we shouldn't because the other team wanted it more and we went through the motions.

I am pretty sure both want to win the game equally.

Not even close to being true in many cases.

when this happens I would argue that both still want the game pretty equally. Just one went through the motions,

When a team does the bolded, they do not want it as badly as the team that goes beyond merely going through the motions.

Come on, bruh

I agree with Downhill but racer.

That might be the only sport where this stupid phrase applies.

You can approach it in a safer manner compared to a less safe manner (and that might not even be true in reality) maybe we think it is because some go out of control.

Franz Klamer...

But where speed is everything...and speed is danger, ignoring danger is maybe those areas of sport where this phrase could possibly apply.

You can be timid in a lot of sports - and not want it as much - when death is on the line.

What's wrong with this? Just refers to a player that might not be the most athletic player on the court, but plays within himself. Maybe where one player is good on the boards is because he simply can jump higher than everyone else, while the player refered to above might be one that gets into position and blocks out correctly, using his body to shield the defender off.

I RA'd yours as well on account of yuh being racist by assuming certain players are only athletic and others aren't as athletic and have superior basketball IQ.
