Turk too 
I love those two. They always go with what they think is the best for Juve. No other emotions involved. You and I are badly biased in Zlatan's case. Some others are seriously biased about some other players. But for Turk and Badass it's very simple. It's only about what they think is the best for Juve, and in this particular case they know Zlatan will upgrade our attack like no other attacker will do. That's enough for them to put aside their former hatred for the player.

Would be an unfair analogy if you compare the sport itself. You're talking about footie, the most spectated sport in the world. You're playing with double the variables in team size alone, making the individual even less significant. Can you imagine the kind of pressure it would take to be at your best all the time withh so much expectation? And for a large part all of these guys are at their best. It's unfair because they have e discipline to earn the salaries they're paid, they sacrifice and play with their hearts. Even a mercenary like Ibra if you like, when on the football pitch looks to bring his best game forward because he may not be loyal to the team he plays for, but he has pride in his ability. Tracy McGrady cannot be blamed, because his teams largely were shite. He was expected to carry the teams all the time, and it's almost impossible to do that on a consistent basis no matter how good or bad you are. Even Jordan couldn't have done it without Scotty. People call Sachin Tendulkar a choker, but 99.9% of the people who question him wouldn't be able to do half of what he's done on the pitch. He's playing at the age of fourty, in a high pressure sport and being asked to deliver. Sure, he is going to fail a bit more today but his body is older. Even earlier, he probably failed on big finals, but he did more than enough to get the team all the way there. The expectation was consistent in every game leading up to the final. That's not choking. It's having an off day. You can be temperamentally weak or strong, but if you're playing at this level, that in itself is an achievement.
I love Norman. Always preferred him to Faldo. Although ive got to say you can call an individual a choker if you like even though it takes quite a bit to be number one and hold that position becaus you're constantly under pressure to deliver. But it's very hard for one man to choke a team of ten other players. The entire team can be chokers.
