What happened to Kobe's 3-point shooting this year? They could have used some of that to get back into the game.
Sacramento.
Does someone want to take a stab at what it means to be "the best clutch player in the game"? That's really where this conversation should start....
If he's actually trying to take everything into account, as you put it, then I'd like for him to respond more directly to the information presented...
I assume he considers shooting% in the final minutes of close games an advanced stat. That is, after all, what the article was presenting.
"I don't believe in numbers, at least in basketball "advanced stats". We all know Kobe is the best clutch player in the game, period." You...
If he wrote "We all know Wade is the best clutch player in the game, period." then I would have said Wade. Ok. And what percentage of those...
Faith-based analysis, eh? And you don't believe Kobe's missed 70% of his shot attempts in the final minute of close games, or you just don't think...

How do you define the elite teams? They were 3-6 against Boston, LA, and Orlando. But they were also 9-1 against Portland, Houston, San Antonio,...
This is what Hollinger writes about PER on ESPN.com "What is PER?" http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=hollinger_john&id=2850240...
PER is trying to summarize the available data in the boxscore as best it can. There are a lot of things that happen on the basketball court which are...
Steals and blocks have a definite value in basketball that can't be denied. If you block a shot, you're forcing a miss. If you steal the ball, you're...
That's just a bad interpretation of the GM survey.
Latest updates are that he's unlikely to be back by the 18th. He insists that's merely a "target date" (whatever that means). The Rockets will...
"Who's the best player?" means different things to different people. Some interpretations: - Their presence makes the biggest impact on their team...
