MY C'SSSSSSSSSS
As of Nov. 8, Ball is shooting 34.4 percent in the paint — the worst in the NBA — and a league second-worst 25 percent outside the lane. In total, he’s at 29.5 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from downtown. According to Basketball-Reference, he currently has the worst field goal percentage of any player ever to attempt at least 10 shots per game.
How come the NFL can't figure out what TNT has with Inside the NBA. Even Shaq, who started off terrible, has hit his stride. Since when does Shaqtin' a Fool disappoint? I mean his delivery of the name is great. The Lebron one tonight cracked me up.
I almost never miss it, and when I do I'm pissed. Their staff is aces. Finding that video of the guy taking the free throw in Europe(or wherever the hell it was)is impressive.
Edit: Also, for us late-nighters, TNT replays are complete replays rather than the shitty edited ESPN replays.
What is the basis for bringing back kids going straight out of HS? Lebron was the only one to be an elite player in his rookie year out of HS. It doesn't really help anybody except overrated talents who get to get paid based on AAU clips. You could make the argument that one reason the NBA is flushed with talent now is that almost every player went to college for at least one year.
I think a one and done to the D-League or two and done to the NBA rule would be fine. But that's the only change I'd make.
You could make that argument but (IMO) it has more to do with more talented cohorts and less to do with the one and done rule.
The league is more talented in the 2010s than it was in the 2000s. The league was more talented in the 1990s than it became in the 2000s. That's not just more talented cohorts. That's a more talented generation of basketball players. I have a tough time accepting an argument that we'd be worse off if say Lou Williams had gone to Georgia for a year. Look at the list of HS draftees and it's a pretty weak list overall.
