Nobody is going to see this, but Kenyon is making a great point here regarding assists. We always like to call players who average a high number of assists "unselfish", but the player getting the assists gets credit for the assists in terms of accolades and salary.

[@Go21place]

Yea it's the eye test of how those assist are being achieved. That's his point. There's all this analytics but if you're not watching HOW those numbers are being obtained in the game then you're missing an entire dimension of the realm of competing. A point guard like Chris Paul doesn't pass early on possessions, he sets up the offense and decides where and when the field goal attempt will happen. Players like LeBron, Chris Paul, James Harden, they have that style. They want to orchestrate every offensive move while they're on the floor. Then you have point guards like Steph Curry who are willing to give up the primary ball handler spot to the 2 guard or to another ball handler and go off ball with his movement. That creates a whole different dynamic on the court. He's more willing to let other guys make plays. For better or worse. Each style has strengths and weaknesses

[@aznnp77]

I've only ever heard that negatively with Rondo. I heard her passes up layups just to make an extra pass and get assists to pad his numbers. I used to watch a lot of Jeremy Lin clips though, so I know an "assist" can be a bit glorified sometimes. Like if you pass the ball to someone and they iso and score in a couple of seconds, they consider it an assist. I remember Rodman got a triple double once cuz he passed the ball to MJ and he immediately don't a turnaround jumper.

Kenyon brings up a great point that’s missed with high assist players. Some of them only give up the ball when they think they can get credit for the assist.

[@jonjack549]

How I understood it, Kenyon was saying that he values analytics and the eye test equally, but from his background, as a former NBA player, he understands and contribute with the eye test. From what he is saying, he needs someone else that can find and dig thru the data to bring the analytics to the table, so that there could be a conversation. Keep in mind, he was interrupted multiple times throughout this interview, so we don't have the full picture.

Chris Paul definitely has a Napoleon complex. He’s tiny and it shows in the playoffs defensively he gets exposed. For years he would create the most ridiculous flopping fouls especially just stop running with a defender right behind him on the break and they both fall down automatic call. Also he would not grab the ball out of another guy’s hands after the play was dead but truly snatch it. Just a lame move. But he’s had a very good regular season career and a couple of decent post season series recently. You have to give him that.

Why are they trying to make it seems like a analytical guy is on the damn basketball court his self playing? Analytics is nothing new, it was always part of a coaches decisions, without having a word for it! It was basically more organic back then and was called a coaches instinct, from a players fg percentage or free throws at certain times of the game, or certain area’s a player may shoot from with a better fg percentage, or a shot taking with a certain defensive player defending the shot, or more simply put Jordan will either make the shot, or pass it to Paxson or a Steve Kerr type shooter, who has a good fg percentage from the 3 point line, than Jordan shooting a well defended two point shot, out of a double team! He didn’t pass it to Scottie for that last second shot, he knew he just needed a sharp shooter on his team! That’s called common sense” and without a analytical guy to tell him to past that game winner or game tying shot! Back then it was called, Jordan needing a sharp shooter like Paxson or Steve Kerr!

If analytics was so important, it will be able to figure out, what player ass will lock up in the last few seconds of a 1 point lead in game for the championship! So coaches will know I can’t even think about having this player on the court! Lol, PS, What did Analytics say about Bruce brown being thekey player, after jokic and Murray to help Denver get over the hump to beat the Lakers, and the Miami heat! Especially the lakers never planned for him to be that successful, Nor did it account for the joker to hit about five last second buzzer beaters!!!! And Murray hitting about three, Without those hell Murray’s, no pond intended! That lakers series, with a split in the first four, could have had a totally different outcome!

[@boogaluace8198]

He's a parking cone! Go right around him no problem. No ring either damn Cliff Paul

[@antwainsanders1340]

He sounds like Skip Bayless

[@gabrielhampton6483]

Analytics….. It’s the gambling curve now!! Plus .. minus…. Kenyon said that!!!!💪💪💪💪

15 years wow

[@quanchess2855]

These comments didn’t age well

[@ricardon.2641]

Jason Kidd was a far better PG than Paul.

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

By far

[@worldwiderell1812]

Faaaaar better...

[@Formless-Entertainment]

I agree. He was amazing on the Nets and crucial to the Mavs when they won the title.

[@tonystretch5102]

He was better for sure…. But at that time teams were actual teams…. Now it’s all about superstars…. The nets ain’t really have like a top ten player in the league but they had a squad…. The pistons had a SQUAD…. Kings, uhh Portland…. These were all contenders…. Yea u had the lakers and spurs but even then they played team ball and it was about the team

[@ricardon.2641]

@@tonystretch5102 which makes what Kidd did even more special. He took a bum Nets team to top a competitive Eastern Conference. Pistons were getting really good, Boston had a solid team, Charlotte was tough. He mightve gotten them a ring had he not gone up against the Juggernaut Lakers and Spurs.

[@TheArrowFist]

Everyone was rooting for CP3, up 2-0 against the Bucks in the finals, and then the real CP3 didn’t show up again.

[@KingAllYear]

After those two games nba had Scott foster ref the games😂 nba foul af

[@dohpe-]

Or, the real CP3 showed up for the last games, just like the entire rest of his career.

[@DonLee1980]

makes his team mates better and lands them with huge contracts: I don't know if I can trust him as a teammate.

[@icyplatinum]

Imagine thinking you know a sport cause you look at the stat sheet every night without watching the actual game...

[@ManeVein703]

imagine being the #1 pick, only to avg 12pts and 6 rebs, 1 allstar selection. Thats Kmart.

[@icyplatinum]

@@ManeVein703 not sure what your point is. He was brought in later parts of his career just for defense. So of course his averages suffered. Thanks for your 2 cents though..

[@ManeVein703]

Number 1 draft pick, 1 all star selection speaks alot. Later part of career has nothing to do with it.

[@icyplatinum]

@@ManeVein703 He's was an excellent role player and contributed greatly to the Nets run to the finals. I'm not sure the point of taking a career average stat to prove something. So are we gonna go average out Derrick Roses career stats and forget that he was the youngest MVP and til this day, no player plays like him?

[@wuzi7049]

i really dislike how many people misunderstand analytics. it is understanding something. and using numbers as a tool to assist you in helping figure out what you want to do. people who only use numbers are not using analytics correctly. and teams who don't use it are putting themselves at a severe disadvantage. because it's just more knowledge than what is easily seen.

[@ACarter87]

Lmao 🙄 Analytics are complete nonsense… OF COURSE stats and numbers can give you as you say a “tool” to look at things and “put together a plan”, not “predict” things… Basketball is about physics and putting a ball in a hoop, in between that there are MILLIONS of variables and intangibles that analytics can’t even come close to comprehending or changing, or “understanding” the game… These are objective facts man Look at the 2016 SEASON and FINALS It’s literal proof numbers have ZERO meaning Michael Carter-Williams is another objective proof example of numbers literally giving detrimental predictions

[@josephschmizzo1595]

@@djdoc06 thats not true...analytics can be faulty in and of themselves. You cant do anything effectively w analytics alone...you need to have an actual gauge.

[@b-gamer340]

Kmart on Chris Paul makes no sense to me.. smh

[@RudeAwakeningP_1]

Paul was one of the few true points guards left in the NBA when the shoot first, bigger point guard style emerged. He's like Jay-Z after Pac & Big were killed; the best by default. If we're talkin' NBA analytics CP3 is a loser.

[@peterjohnson7188]

Kenyan knows basketball

[@iamteamyou]

I can Agnatically see You can’t Shoot😂

[@central8448]

Thats crazy, He does his job well, palys team ball, plays defense and makes his teammates alot of money. That's not enough. You can't please everyone.
