Sports fans are dumb, but sports experts are even dumber and no one are dumber than analytics people.
Jimmy Buckets is once again being a fan favorite while leading his underdog team deep in the playoffs.
Doing this without spamming 3s and making the fadeaway and midrange his bread and butter.
Like Kawhi, like Kobe, like MJ.
I think we've seen this enough to conclude that 3ball was right, the ability to consistently get the midrange bucket, while passing out of the double, that's what wins in the playoffs.
The big guard who can shoot the midrange AND defend at at a high level is the most the efficient basketball player.
It's just that this type of player is rare. Most big guard scorers still have small guard mentality. They don't have the dog in them.
