The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

As expected I’ve put the 2nd batch of Fact videos into one giant video, but for those of you who have been watching the series throughout, here are all the brand new facts… 9:07 The NBA’s Women (Correction: Lusia was drafted in 1977, not 1997. Misspoke) 17:50 Playoff LeBron 25:23 KD & Draymond’s 3s 36:28 The Finals MVP Trend 54:40 Near Double Quad CORRECTION: APOLOGIES for fact at 14:06. I updated the graphic, but forgot to update that audio. The graphic is the correct one. ALSO CORRECTION: I mention later in the video that only 4 players ever officially got a Quadruple-Double, which is correct. Problem is that I showed a photo of Artis Gilmore. Smh. It's not Artis, it was supposed to be Nate Thurmond in that photo (who is already criminally underrated). Now that this one’s behind me, I plan on making more videos covering these crazy Playoffs! Stay tuned.

On Rodman's defense: If you never get the ball because the Worm is smothering you, then he won't get the block or the steal. It's one of the biggest reasons that stat-heads misunderstand the game, and why Moreyball doesn't win chips.

[@M0Sesdef]

Lol what are you getting on about? Advanced metrics are capable of understanding exactly what you're saying. Spend more time looking into it if you're convinced that it doesn't explain simple things like preventing entry passes and such. You can deduce quite a bit from large amounts of data over time.

[@AaronMichaelLong]

@@M0Sesdef No, they're not. You cannot reduce the totality of basketball to a floating point number.

[@TheJayofthejungle]

traditional stats no. advanced stats/metrics, however, can measure that sort of impact. Not sure how prevalent they were in Rodman's heyday though.

[@M0Sesdef]

@@TheJayofthejungle yea i get there isn't a category with an aggregate of this but we both know this type of info can be inferred from existing data sets.

Statasticians should just start tracking grapling and jersy pulling by situation. Amazed they haven't to be honest. Same with hand checking back in the day. If they have then it is not public data. Maybe franchises do but don't relase the data.

36:40 Giannis won FMVP last year and was a PF not a SF. Still 9 straight years of SFs winning is kinda crazy. But when you realize that all but one was Lebron, KD, and Kawhi it makes sense.

Re: fact 45: the added context needed to explain why Johnston didn’t make the Top 75 was that he only played 7.5 years. He retired 1/2 way through his 8th season due to injuries (though he attempted a comeback in the ABL a couple years later). Except while trying to play through injuries a bit during his final partial-year, he never had a downward swing in his PER that comes to most players as their careers get longer and they age. Having such a relatively short career and a pretty sudden end to that “helped” Johnstown’s PER remain so high on the all-time list.

[@clevelandbci9562]

You got a subscriber for life. Damn, this was a great video. I enjoyed every second of it.

[@Joe7_OSRS]

4:04 interesting Kobe liked the new ball because of grip. Kobe actually had relatively normal hand size for his height compared to other NBA players so it makes sense that he'd like a ball with better grip for his smaller hands.

[@harveyjose2670]

39:42 Marcus Smart should be added

[@yunan9610]

For the low turnover percentage I think a big part of that is due to how much spacing the game has now. The lane becoming more open, thus a steal from stripping ball handler becoming fewer, and then every passes travels more distance as well and becoming harder to intercept

[@clevelandbci9562]

9:38 Did he really just say she averaged *62.8 points???*

[@JSalonsky]

Not a coincidence at all about the small forward.. it’s the most hybrid position and does everything which would be why a real dominant small forward probably changes the game more than any other (Bird/Lebron/Giannis/Durant/Kawhi -- This is of course up for debate especially after Currys latest performance) most capable of leading your team in all 5 categories in the playoffs

[@Mrgiftedsoul]

Love that kobe who has a notoriously flat shot and hands like wood was the only player who liked the new ball

[@MartelLamar]

[@jxnnydxvth]

it’s just insane to me that in 2003 Bruce Bowen shot better from the 3 point line than he did from the free throw line. how does that even happen with an NBA player

[@HelloWorld-uw5wj]

Steph Curry says he shoots better on contested shots over noncontested shots. Some players get more used to it. 40% from the free throw line is atrocious though lol

[@adrenalineunlimited3376]

The new basketball in 07. Hurts everybody's little fingers. But Kobys. That proves that he was just wired different than everyone else

turnover percentage is definitely affected by the rule changes over the years and how refs call fouls, rule changes have restricted defense while offense has evolved more and more and more

[@ManFinest]

Forwards get to do it all now, so yea it makes sense

[@Garkimyer]

Even Hockey has very strict intent to injure rules that get people suspended for multiple games and give their team a 10 minute penalty in addition to that player being ejected. Hockeys a full contact sport that allows players to fight and run into other players while both are skating anywhere from 20-30ish Mph in different directions. The NBA is non contact, no fighting, and somehow dirty Bill managed to only get ejected once. You’d think it would be the opposite.
