It still blows my mind how good Joel Embiid is. Just 7 years ago, back in 2012, Embiid was on JV at Montverde and was so raw as a basketball player that he literally out ran the hoop on a fastbreak because he didn't understand the spacing of the court...like what

A talented rookie QB, a potentially elite defense, and the best RB group in football—people are sleeping on the Washington Redskins in 2019. But are they a playoff team? I break down the

THEORY BUSTED: Common NBA draft theory says that college FT% is the best predictor of NBA 3PT%. I wanted to test this theory, so I created scatterplots of the three most positively correlated variables for predicting NBA 3PT% (NCAA FT%, NCAA 3PT%, and NCAA 3PT FG/G)

Tyrese Haliburton is having a historically efficient rookie season.
He's on pace to become the first rookie in NBA history (and just the 10th player ever!) to shoot 40% from 3 on >4 attempts per game while also recording an A:TO better than 3.33 (

Northwestern has the best defense in college football. They just held Wisconsin to 7 points after the Badgers came in averaging 47ppg. The secondary dominated the first half, the DLine dominated the 2nd half. No further questions.

Impressive 4th Q from

rookie Deni Avdija tonight
Hit a clutch 3 + LeBron called for ball screens 3 possessions down the stretch to get Deni switched onto him and Deni stopped him each time with good 1v1 defense. Not many rookies in NBA history can say they've done that
4 years ago TODAY, Patrick Mahomes set the NFL record for most TDs in the first 2 weeks of a season with 10, torching the Steelers for 6
He could break his own record with another 6 tonight 👀
"An underrated aspect of small ball is actually, ironically, how much taller lead offensive creators have become. It’s now the age of 6'10 Ben Simmons, 6'8 LaMelo Ball and 6'7 Luka Doncic."

Giving Frank Vogel a bad roster and then firing him after one season is like taking a girl on a first date to McDonalds and then wondering why you can’t get a text back
It was all Frank Vogel’s fault! No point guard, no rim protection, and a 50m new piece who missed 1/3 of the season like he always does and then CRATERED in the playoffs. Oh and no bench cuz they traded everything for 2 guys. And ran against the best D in 20 years.
