"When the Game's on the Line"..."They Can Call Me Mariano Rivera," New Orleans Hornet combo guard
- The universal definition of clutch:
After the New Orleans Hornets win over the Dallas Mavericks, Hornets.com posted highlights, one of which was late-game hero, Jannero Pargo. By Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com, 12/1/07:
- "Here are five observations from an action-packed victory at the New Orleans Arena." (Following is #4):
- After the game I asked Pargo if we should start labeling him “Mr. Fourth Quarter” following his final-stanza eruption at Atlanta on Friday and his large contributions vs. Dallas. (Pargo went scoreless through three quarters Saturday, but tallied six points in the fourth quarter and had five more in OT).
- The 6-foot-1 combo guard said he realizes that his playing time is largely dependent on how he performs early in the game. “I’ve had this opportunity (to potentially contribute late in games) all year,” Pargo said. “But I understand that if I play well, I get to play longer. Lately in the fourth quarter, I’ve been playing well.
- To be out there when the game’s on the line, it shows that (Scott) has confidence in me and that can go a long way.”"
