My Question Got Answered On ESPN.com's Chat!
Basel (California): I've never had a question answered on one of these chats before, so here's to hoping this is the one! This is pretty random, but I want to change things up considering all that's been talking about lately is coaching changes, playoffs, etc. My question is: Would you consider Nick Van Exel one of the better clutch players the NBA has ever seen? Everyone remembers the Lakers last game at Boston Garden in 1995. Good times. Answer this, and I'll give you a high five and a chocolate chip cookie!
SportsNation Chris Sheridan: (5:06 PM ET ) wow, Basel. That is out of left field. But your timing was perfect, cuz your question popped up at the top of the queue after I sweated Jersey Turnpike traffic to make it here at the nick of 5 to start the chat on time. To answer your question, No. Robert Horry is a clutch shooter, Sam Cassell is a clutch player. Nick could play and Nick could shoot (especially the long ones at the end of quarters), but I don;t have him in my top 15 clutch players. One of the first basketball games I ever covered was a Cincinnati-UNC game in the NCAA tournament at the Meadowlands, and Nick was lights out in the first half like you wouldn;t believe and MIA in the second half.

It was the first one, answered, too!

Re: My Question Got Answered On ESPN.com's Chat!
And this time, I corrected his ***!
Basel (California): You are actually wrong about the Wizards being the only team to have a winning record against Boston in the regular season. Orlando was 2-1 against them, though KG didn't play in one of the games.
SportsNation Chris Sheridan: (5:23 PM ET ) My bad, Basel. I should have said they were the only team to go 3-1 against them.
And to broadly answer a bunch of other questions regarding the Magic, yes, I think they have a legitimate shot of defeating the Pistons in the next round. Let's make sure Detroit gets there first, although I expect them to take cre of business tonight here at the Wachovia Center.

high five and a chocolate chip cookie? He probably answered it because he thought you were hitting on him.

Haha, I wanted to the entire question to be pretty random and just out there, and it worked.

Re: My Question Got Answered On ESPN.com's Chat!
So his reasoning for why Van Exel isn't a top 15 clutch player is because he had a bad second half in one game in college?
What a moron...

Wow! The moment I read that I knew there'd be a thread on this already.

Haha, yeah that's awesome. Next time I'll mention BBF in my question, and see if it gets posted.

Re: My Question Got Answered On ESPN.com's Chat!
I was reading that chat yesterday and was wondering if it was you.
I should have known because of the NVE question.
