How Good Are ‘Bad’ NBA Players?

EXTREMELY good. I mean, like, amazing.

At our local LA Fitness, we are the “home gym” for a few NBA players during the off-season. Amare Stoudamire came in a couple times, and Mike Bibby was a semi-regular.

But, let’s talk about this guy.

Negele Knight. Unless you lived in Phoenix during the Tom Chambers-Kevin Johnson-Dan Majerle era, you have no clue who I’m talking about, which makes sense, because, in NBA terms…he wasn’t that good. He bounced around the league a bit and was never anything more than a backup point guard who played about 8 minutes a game.

Is Bo Jackson the Greatest Athlete To Ever Live Or Is He Overrated?

Before the hate mail comes in I’d first like to clarify that I greatly respect Bo Jackson and think he’s an incredible athlete. However, sometimes pure athleticism doesn’t directly translate on the field or in the stat sheet. I always enjoyed watching Jackson play and marveled at his strength and speed, but sometimes there’s more to becoming an all-around player at your sport.

Somewhere along the way Bo turned into a mythic hero, instead of simply a gifted athlete. ESPN went so far as to crown him with the Greatest Athlete of All Time award. Pretty surprising considering he only played 8 seasons in the MLB and 4 in the NFL.

What Exactly Do People Mean By “Spacing” In Basketball

spacing in basketball

Good floor spacing means those teams have shooters who can shoot the 3 very well forcing defenders to stick closer to them and further away from the paint/rim

It does not necessarily mean shooting above league average from three; volume is just as important as percentage. If a player shoots well from three but only manages 1-2 attempts per game despite being always wide open they are not a floor spacer.

Rajon Rondo is an example of this. Also doesn’t have to be restricted to 3PT shooting if it concerns big men; Nikola Jokic is a top notch floor spacer.

Good spacing makes it difficult for defenders to play help defense.

why is there a womens divison in chess

Chess game is dominated by men players so gender-divided rankings and tournaments are there to encourage and promote chess amongst girls and women.

As there are very few female chess players in comparison to men, the said factors contribute to creating female role models, female champions, etc. It’s not meant to discriminate but to promote chess amongst girls, especially because it might be somewhat intimidating to enter a sport mostly dominated by men.
