100% NBA STATS 2018/19

cant tell whats funnier, the decade of immobility or the neural network-esque names in the 70s

john wall doing a leroy jenkins there at the end

The Dallas Mavericks one is inspiring

the juxtaposition of the graph freezing for like 12 years with the dramatic John Carpenter movie soundtrack music is what killed me

I for one have never heard of Kevin Loughery and Phil Chenier

Chenier has called wiz games for a really long time. Loughery I only remember as a coach

The percentage of NBA history that features either Robert Parish or Vince Carter is just staggering, and it's only going to grow as Vinsanity sticks around for a record-setting 22nd year. pic.twitter.com/nutUrhzPa9

its cool cos vince carter is exactly the type of player that everyone figured would have a short career and whos game would fall off a cliff as soon as the athleticism was gone. plus he was always injured and seemed like a baby tbf. old vince has atoned for all of young vinces nba shortcomings.

yeah for a while everyone hated him

vince loves to hoop. i always wonder about off-court contributions for guys who play a really long time. i haven't read much about vince lately, but i assume old vince is probably easy to get along with, helpful to the young guys, etc. or he wouldn't have stuck around so long.

I mostly assume Portland signed pau to have a chill older dude with a locker next to whiteside’s

John Collins was on the Lowe pod and he was saying Vince is a great vet

there's no reason for the hawks to have him back this year if he was anything else

the lines are converging

Here's which statistics have been disproportionally "tall" or "short" by season.

Hawks have got to be the only ones with a 60 win season in the same period

kings surely did during that early 00's run

the knicks thing is really just sad. dolan really is the worst.

you're not kidding.

Checketts had hired Abraham, and once Checketts left there was no buffer between himself and Dolan. The relationship, Abraham says, was cordial: “He owned the company, so I had respect for that.” Once, during a disagreement, Abraham tried to make a point. He told his boss to imagine that the two of them were in a car that Dolan owned. “‘ I want to make a left turn, you want to make a right turn,’ ” he recalls saying. “‘It’s your car. We know we’re going to make a right turn. All I’m asking is for you to explain to me why you want to make a right turn so I understand your thinking.’ ” Dolan, he recalls, said nothing. “He looked at me as if I was speaking Martian. He absolutely could not fathom what I was trying to ask him. And I think people like that, they can’t see how to build an organization or how to build a spirit in an organization. They just don’t have the acumen and the perspective to do it.”

marcus is smart

Marcus Smart creates some serious gravity on the court.

He was in the 86th %ile from 3 this past year in gravity.

Ha. I was shocked when I saw the gym in that Netlix doc on Chinle Tigers. All of the towns on the rez are relatively small, and Chinle isn't even the biggest one! And obv the entire rez is far from wealthy.

Disappointed in Kansas

dont really "agree with their methodology" but these rankings are pretty fun https://nbamath.com/crystalbasketball-team-by-team-grades-for-2019-20

hornets best player grades out as a low end starter, yikes!

nuggets have 8 starting quality players, but only one of allstar quality (the famous joker)

Maybe we need a new NBA STATS thread for the upcoming thrill-packed 2019-2020 season.

it is a whole new nba season full of thrills and chills

Who the fuck wants to look at graphs while having a hoop convo?

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) October 15, 2019

ha i love that hes having a full on convo with matt

kd needs to be a broadcaster someday

KD needs a hobby as an outlet for his excess of energy and attention. Maybe making fine furniture from exotic woods.

he has the same hobby as us, just wants to burn his extra time online

Twitter is better than goin to da club...

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) May 9, 2010

he shd learn to c0de

matt's always had this agreement with randos about KD basically not having to worry about analytics cos he just shoots 50/40 without thinking about it so its funny to see him be able to make that point to the man himself. kd is a unicorn and it went about how i imagined it would go.

its great to see nba stars posting.

nu stats thread 2019/2020 = NBA > STATS
