but I don't think it measures the slight act of drawing mental attention. You need players who make off-ball defenders turn their heads, saccade their eyes, or freeze for a second so that the great connective players like White or Caruso can take advantage by cutting, shooting, or moving the ball.

I don't think it would. OKC has a team of Derrick Whites, one superstar, and two all-stars, and they barely won the one they did. I think people underrate all the ways great scorers impact the game. Gravity is a pretty good approximation but probably insufficient. It measures spatial shifts...

To do that well at an NBA level is hard. White, like Draymond, is really hard to categorize. Green and White two of the most "you had to be there" and "you have to really know basketball" players we have ever seen. Who else is on this list? Also, is there an all-last-name-is-a-color team?

Derrik White is so interesting. I get he's beloved for his impact, but a top-5 player in the league?. If you had a team of only Derrik Whites, could you get out of the 1st round? Someone has to collapse and/or stretch the defense. Someone has to get off-ball defenders to turn their heads.

And then what? You give them a(nother) beating, then what? US foreign policy today isn’t pursuing national interest. The White House priority is putting on a show for the audience at home that finds domestic abuse personally appealing, and fantasizes that bluster and war crimes is strength.

He didn't miss much. My 11-year-old figured that movie out so fast it was shocking. The second a character was on screen, or a breadcrumb was dropped, she knew who did it and then why. She instantly figures out the plot of every movie but never can figure out how to do her homework.

Elite game processors are rare and valuable. This isn't just some great player at the end of his career that will show the young guys the ropes and make the right play. He still makes plays that no one else in the league can make... nightly. He is in a tier of only 3 in terms of passing.

Beyond being a POS, it's insane to have as much physical talent as he does and never try to get good at basketball*. You can't convince me that if he had worked maniacally since he's been in the NBA, he couldn't be a high-level starter at the least. *by NBA standards

A real issue in youth sports is private equity. They used COVID as window to drive out local clubs., buying venues and making it hard for teams to practice and play. Started there own clubs that focus only on winning rather than developing players. Incidious

Hahaha. I'm just reshaping my game to play off two feet which has been easy. The hard part is changing my shot to a more ground bound shot.

Tore my Achilles grabbing a rebound a little over a year ago. Still not all the way back but the process of rehabbing my foot has probably been good for my overall mobility even if I can't get really jump with that foot yet.

BREAKING NEWS - in a first of its kind deal, all 30 teams in the NBA have decided to share LeBron James! He'll play 2-3 games for every team this season, and then teams will play Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who gets him in the playoffs.

It's wild that Lebron James is going into his 24th season in the NBA. What do you mean he's a millennial who has several 1099 side jobs and yet has never been laid off?!

Wrote a silly little blog about where LeBron should go and of course I make a case for the Nuggets. The case makes itself. Also the Wizards because that would be hilarious. www.jezebel.com/these-five-t...
