There was an experiment conducted on a bird in an air pump last night in Miami (FL).
The world champion "Heats" trailed the Indiana "Pacer" by one point with 2.2 seconds left in an important basketball game.
What to do?
Now I, Benjamin Harris, am not a basketball coach. However in this instance my amateur judgment was aligned with that of the "Heats" coach: get the ball to a fellow named LeBron James, the best basketball player in the world. That judgment aligned also with that of 99.999% of people in the world. It did not align with the judgment of the Indiana coach and "Paul George," the individual assigned to, like, "guard" LeBron James. The Indiana coach, "Frank Vogel," had the judgment not to have his 7-foot tall shot-blocking player in the game for the final play and "Paul George" guarded LeBron James perfectly well--until the play started, at which point "Paul George" let LeBron James catch the basketball and then waved at LeBron James like a matador as Lebron James ran past him and scored the game-winning basket.

How in the world did that happen? I don't know.
