Greatness keeps us hanging around near the pinnacle often enough for our luck to make the difference.
At the decisive moment, it is always better to be lucky than good. ALWAYS.
Jo Jo White was good at a decisive moment, when he shot the make against Texas Western at a distance that at most goes in 40% of the time, but got called out of bounds when it went in.
Chalmers was lucky at the decisive moment, when he was the recipient of an improbable chain of events that let him throw in a shot that at most goes in 40% of the time.
Nimitz was lucky at the decisive moment at Midway.

At the decisive moment, luck is always the preferred weapon.

One of KU’s advantages in every game is not the bricks and mortar of Allen Field House, but the fans that fill Allen Field House and the fans that follow the team. The legacy is real. So is the living myth.
Your father is a part of it, if he wants to be through you.
Rock Chalk!
