In this day and age, a professional sports figure making a guarantee simply isn’t worth it. Sure, if you guarantee a win and you’re right, you look great. But if you’re wrong, the scrutiny is immense.
Take Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams, for example. After a loss in Game 3, putting the Cavs down 2-1 in the series, Williams was certain Cleveland would not only come back in Game 4 to take back homecourt advantage, but win the series.
“Guarantee we’re going to win the series? Yeah, yeah,” he said. “We are down 2-1. But there is nobody on this team, and definitely not myself, that says we are not going to win this series.”
Whoops. The Magic won 116-114 in overtime, taking a 3-1 series lead and forcing the Cavs to win three straight.
Look, only Broadway Joe can make that kind of bold statement and get away with it. Sure, others have looked good by backing up their words, but the point is, let your play do the talking. Williams, who is shooting 32 percent (23-for-71) from the field in the series, clearly is not.
