Luck – we’ve noted it repeatedly here, stating just how much it plays a factor in the NBA. Whether it’s the luck of being healthy, the luck of momentum building at the right time or the luck of one player being the key ingredient which makes a lineup thrive. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true. For example, the unlucky turn which witnessed OKC Thunder superstar Paul George felled by two shoulder injuries and kept Andre Roberson sidelined all season could easily have been the difference in the season.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Yet, there is no denying one lucky or unlucky break can easily be the difference in winning a championship or a team being ripped apart.
