Sick of all the usual box score stat stuff? I am. Following in the footsteps of a massive stat tracking system like SportsVU, http://www.stats.com/sportvu/basketball.asp , I'm posting stuff in here that could be not as much talked about, detailed discussion, insight from players on twitter and anything else relevant! Feel free to join in!

First one I wanted to post as I came across it today was:


A HoopIdea to reward the screener

Game comment from SVG and Breen



Van Gundy: A screen is just a different form of an assist. We keep track of passes that lead to an assist, but screens are the same thing. It’s giving yourself up to free a teammate or get a teammate a shot.”
Breen: It’s funny, Reggie Evans of Brooklyn, he recently said that. That he thinks there should be a stat for that [screens] because he thinks it’s just as important as an assist.”

It would bring back the possibility of a quadruple double again! Since the Defensive 3 second rule stops the bigs from waiting in the middle for the blocks, it is very unlikely we will see another QD. Maybe the screen-assist is a 4th category?

Another cool idea that needs a startup funding boost- dynamic box scores- you can skip to specific game stages to see stats, not just an end of game box score

They start stat tracking that and I'm sure well see the QD make a come back, mostly during Miami Conceit games.

It takes Ray Allen 73 hundredths of a second from catching a ball to releasing it for a 3pt shot.
He is also 9% better all time of any player from 3pt range in finals games

That shot at end of reg game 6 was unbelievable. Well, believable for him but amazing.

^^^There is a vid with Lebron going through the same moves with Hakeem.
Hakeem really did have a different way to create moves to the rest of the centers in the league..

His moves all stemmed From his foot work and timing..

It's great to see that so many of today's greats recognise just how good he was and seek his tutelage..

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Yeah pretty cool to watch, so smooth, could watch Hakeem all day

Yeah there's Dwight, Brook and Robin Lopez too.
