I agree to some extent, but this time was just weird. It also coincided with, seemingly, him taking more mid range shots instead of getting to the rim, which he was doing with ease earlier in the season.
Not suggesting your stance on the lack of form is wrong, could be exactly that, it just did seem different to me. I could be reading too much into it as well.
Part of doing you job is working in adverse circumstances. Players have family members die, divorces etc, and it affects them visibly on the court most the time a lot more milder than Fox’s “slump”. I think it’s motor or the issue is tied to motor in that that’s why he is capable of being so sidetracked, but it would be as concerning if we had to worry about Fox going into the dumpers weeks on end because of something like trade rumors, where would that end?
Players' lives don't end so it wouldn't. It does sound like you think other players have adverse circumstances, but Fox doesn't because it's Fox.
There was another person who put it out there that they were wondering if Fox was going for custody of his other child and that having an impact. Not suggesting that is the case, but being a personal matter it would make sense as to why nothing has come out.
I'm not buying this is Fox just having a slump. Probably about as much as your not going to buy it as anything other than motor.
I hope it ends. As players need to be professionals and do their jobs, so do those in the real world, and not just pack it in under abnormal life circumstances
I said other players have adverse circumstances all the time, and even worse than apparently Fox’s (death in the family/divorce) and it usually doesn’t mean going in the tank for several weeks
