When you “Create-A-Player” on NBA video games, what does he look like? You’d like your player tall, of course. Perhaps he is freakishly tall to get his shot off in front of any defense. Throw in some handles for some razzle dazzle dribbling. Off the chart shooting percentages from everywhere on the court. A shot-block […]

Victor Wembanyama has Commissioner Adam Silver telling teams not to tank. Wembanyama is taking a fadeaway corner three-pointer. Wembanyama has a viral photo where he dwarfs 7’1″ Rudy Gobert. The NBA has never seen a player like this year’s number-one prospect. Wembanyama played in two exhibition matchups against the number two 2023 draft prospect, Scoot […]

3% odds for anything are minuscule odds. It means if an event were to happen 100 times, it would only happen a certain way three times (on average) in 100 tries.

We all have our favorite players in sports. Patrick Mahomes in football. Kobe Bryant in basketball. J.P Sears in baseball (WHO?). I’m kidding.

Roster makeup in the NBA is a delicate balance. You want your superstar, of course. Throw in a few shooters, big and small defenders, and some rebounders to complete the mix. It’s more complicated than it looks, though. Teams with multiple superstars have salary cap restrictions, forcing a deviation from the ideal mix. Defenses force […]

Friday is the Celebrity Game and Rising Stars Game. Saturday is a Skills Competition, Three-Point Shootout, and Dunk Contest. Sunday is the All-Star Game. Every NBA All-Star Weekend is the same.

Winning the Rookie of the Year award is not a guarantee for future stardom. Just look at Michael Carter-Williams in 2013-2014. Or Malcolm Brogdon winning the award in 2016-2017. However, this doesn’t seem to be one of those years for the Rookie of the Year award. Victor Wembanyama (Wemby) and Chet Holmgren have entered the […]
