And Roger never makes a mistake when choosing between "taking the shot himself" and "passing to a teammate".
You basically never see him passing when he should attack, or attacking when he should pass.
Al Michaels commented: "There are many players in this league with good careers, but they don't know how to choose their shots, don't know what's happening on the court, don't know what's needed. Roger is that special player, with a very keen sense. He knows everything on the court and the key to victory. He has the ability to win the game in various ways. Defense, rebounds, a shot, or a pass, God, he's perfect!"
Actually, experienced players are like this, just as LeBron James at 40 can effortlessly pass the ball away and let his teammate catch it right as the time runs out without wasting a second, never giving them a chance to pass it back.
This is the power of experience.
