THE PLAYOFF STAT WHICH IS WELL ABOVE AL'S AVERAGE

Other than bad officiating, my two biggest best peeves with watching the NBA is when players can't shoot freethrows and when they miss layups which should have been dunks.
Yes, given the opportunity to shoot freethrows in front of 20,000 people I would probably do pretty poorly. However, if my job was to play basketball and I was used to playing in front of huge crowds, I'm sure I'd figure it out.
While after all these years I can still shoot freethrows, the ability to dunk has always escaped me. Trust me, I tried. I even bought a pair of those strength shoes before they had a patent.

When I watch NBA players go in for weak layups and either miss on their own or get it swatted away by an opponent, I always wonder why they didn't just elevate a little more and dunk it. In my opinion it appears that the player is just being lazy by not putting forth just a little more effort on the gimme.

In the postseason Al Horford has been putting in the extra effort as he now has 16 dunks in 14 games. This is well above his average. Considering it is going against better competition makes it even more impressive.
