Per36 is helpful to break stuff down on a minute per minute basis and can be used as a solid gauge if including with the context of how many minutes the player actually played and whether they played primarily against starting or bench lineups.
Olshey told them, "The only trades I make, I pay you millions and take your garbage." Real Madrid suggested dumping Andrew Nicholson, Milovan Rakovic, Brendan Haywood, Mike Miller, and Anderson Varejao. Olshey said, "I already have their rights, not you!" so the trade broke down.
Nope! Being strong enough to jump high or run fast and being in condition to do it for long periods of time do not spell "Athletic". I understand your perspective but some of the most athletic people i have come across are the ones that just have a certain knack for moving in ways others just can't. It's hard to explain but when you see it you know. I come across it all the time in my line of work. He might be big. He might be strong. But he can't move on the Iron. I feel the exact same is true about Basketball. Athletic ability is more about agility and hand/eye coordination with the ability to think fast.
Athleticism isn't agility... agility is agility. Coordination is coordination. And athleticism is athleticism...
Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music (Music is the best!). Wisdom is the domain of the Wizz (which is extinct). -FZ (RIP)
I've always interpretted agility as the ability to move efficiently (which helps quickness), being able to move productively when in different types of body positions, being able to maintain balance, among other things. That's different than just pure acceleration.

Meyers may be high school athletic, or slam dunk contest athletic. He is not NBA athletic. Reaction time and agility are a component of that.
Bingo. He runs pretty well in a straight line, but BBall requires more than that. He looks good in shorts, so I guess that is enough to fool some fans. He is sort of the NBA equivalent of 90s wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior.
In the case of Meyers Leonard, it can also be akin the extrapolating Usain Bolt's sprint time to his per-mile time. Per-36 Meyers may look pretty good. Per mile Usain Bolt does a 2 minute mile. The only key difference is that Bolt is at least good at what he does - Leonard, adequate is the top-end of his categories. Gramps...
Lmao. Sorry, but that's a horrible comparison. It's impossible to sprint at full speed for 1600m. It's not impossible to have enough stamina to be able to have production over 36 minutes that's close to production over 18 minutes. Like I said, you have to combine it with context.
That's two separate quotes, actually. "The Knowledge is not wisdom quote" is from Joe's Garage. It's on the album sleeve, I believe. I don't know where the "Wisdom is the domain of the Wizz," comes from.
