Could flipping a switch and embracing Mamba Mentality against the Cleveland Cavaliers forever alter the legacy of Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic?
As the Orlando Magic ’s Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers came to a close, Paolo Banchero hit a three just before the buzzer sounded, but who cares? The Magic lost game five 104-103. Banchero’s last-second shot was meaningless.
Let’s be clear: The only reason the Magic were in this game was Banchero's sensational play. His 39 points exceeded the 34 points the rest of Orlando’s starters combined for on the evening. LeBron James is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, but he’s often been criticized for being too selfless in the final moments of games that he could win himself. Banchero is undeniably a star, but his situational awareness must improve in order for him to evolve into a superstar.
Rather than putting the ball in Banchero’s hands an excessive number of times throughout the night, particularly in the fourth quarter, spreading the ball may have gotten the team better shots, but in the final seconds, the ball needs to be in Banchero’s hands so that he can decide the outcome of the game.
