    G league Ignite program shutting down

    Crazy turn - 4 years ago this program was set up to give elite ‘1 and done’ prospects a route to get paid and play in the G league. Now, with NIL, it seems they can’t compete. This is a terrific sign for college basketball. Despite all the whining, NIL is improving college basketball by...

    Adjusted over/under on regular season wins?

    'The no-stats all-star'

    Great article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/magazine/15Battier-t.html?_r=1 It's all about new young managers in the NBA applying statistics to find undervalued players and put together a winning team (like baseball in the 90s). They make the point that all the common statistics used in...
