Sure…but what is my job and who I am being compared to?

Scottie was a at the highest level of an extremely competitive professional field. One of the things that the field demands is mental toughness at the most difficult moments. This is part of what separates these incredibly accomplished professionals from each other, let alone regular people.

If a brain surgeon has to leave the operating theater several times over the course of his career because he lost his temper or was overwhelmed by anxiety, I'm sure that other elite brain surgeons would see it as a knock on his resume.


We are not just asking if Scottie was a great player or a good teammate. We are comparing him to the best to even suit up. I think it is relevant. Doesn't mean Scottie sucks, but Drexler from what I saw and know, was a better leader and mentally tougher player.
