Comment on Advanced Stats 101: Player Shooting by khandor

IMHO no one who considers himself to be a basketball expert would use FG% to illustrate an individual’s overall ability to shoot the ball in the first place. ‘New Age Stats’ like TS% attempt to quantify what actual basketball experts have known and been able to judge correctly for a long time by simply watching the game closely and attending accurately what specific players actually do well (or not) when they’re on the court. Even so, a simple stat like TS% is also flawed as it fails to account for innumerable other variables as well which are important to an accurate assessment of which players are the best shooters overall within a specific set of individuals. Human observation by a skilled practicioner remains the best judge of basketball ability not statistical analysis.

Shawn is one of the most sincere, kind and honorable people I have ever met. I don’t even know his basketball history (sorry I’m not a fan) but I know him as a human being. WOW we need more men like Shawn Bradley for role models in todays society. Great man.

Comment on Montreal, Miami and More: The Basketball Life of Joel Anthony by Austin Kent

Austin Kent — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:02:43 +0000

Oh absolutely. Even in the Canadian exhibitions Anthony was aggressive in and around the key with the sole intention of dunking. His best highlights came on the other end of the floor, though. His arms are just so long, and even while extended, so strong. It makes for very replay-worthy blocks. Very fun player to watch.
