Did you guys see that article on Durant being obsessed with analytics and lebrons box score?
Interesting insight into how he's wired.
Durant has hired his own analytics expert. He tailors workouts to remedy numerical imbalances. He harps on efficiency more than a Prius dealer. To Durant, basketball is an orchard, and every shot an apple. “Let’s say you’ve got 40 apples on your tree,” Durant explains. “I could eat about 30 of them, but I’ve begun limiting myself to 15 or 16. Let’s take the wide-open three and the post-up at the nail. Those are good apples. Let’s throw out the pull-up three in transition and the step-back fadeaway. Those are rotten apples. The three at the top of the circle — that’s an in-between apple. We only want the very best on the tree.”
This quote made me immediately think shots fired at melo and JR Smith hahahahaha
That's interesting. I wonder how many players do this? I know Shane Battier loves his analytics.
