Why is it that some athletes make it look so easy while others struggle just to "take the shot"? Who would you call on to take the last shot in a basketball game, perhaps Michael Jordan? Who would you hand the ball to in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the game on the line, is it Mariano Rivera?
