Seriously.

I still don't understand how "volume shooter" is a good thing.

His record since John wall left?


besides the Lakers?

Who would he benefit?
One of worst contracts in the league. He's not a top 15 player. Probably not even top 20 if I had to make a list. I'm a Laker fan and I don't want him anywhere near my team.

Hate to say it and he is a good dude, but he is over hyped like shit. He can shoot his ass off and that’s it.

I don’t see Miami going after him.

Beal is just a better Tyler Herro. They need to go after Lillard. Hell after another failing season I think Embiid will ask for a trade and Miami is usually on most guys list. But that's a year away if it happens.
 
A bad shooter is a volume shooter. If you're a good shooter we don't keep track of your volume

So why do these do called experts and nba analysts keep talking about volume shooting and volume scoring as a POSITIVE?

It's just a streaker shooter.

So I need to know...

who is considered a volume shooter?

Cause I don't know if I agree with this list.

To be frank this is what happened.

We used to measure performance by what we saw on the court. If you had a bad 3 quarters but then came up clutch you were clutch

If you had a good stat game but came up small you were small

And then nerds inserted math into the game because they couldn't play it they could only study it and build models and algorithms in order to try and explain basketball because they couldn't understand how it felt or what really mattered on the court

And then those nerds got in with the other classic nerd group of admirers - the writers. Who dedicated their lives to write about other people doing their job. They can't do what the players can do but with the mighty pen can control narratives and create stories that endure

So the nerd faction got together and said wooo that's awesome we can change what an actual good basketball player is based on maths???


And here we are

We're talking about true shooting and usage per
Instead of is he good? Is he a dawg? Can he play?

Left no crumbs. Nothing else needs to be said
 
Lowkey Miami and Orlando should be key free agent destinations if Locale is important. Houston and Dallas too.
Rich young men shouldn't live in any state where if they accidentally get someone pregnant they can't get an abortion.

Lamar Odom sues ex-manager for allegedly stealing his home, forging docs​

Story by Bernie Zilio • Yesterday 6:11 PM

Lamar Odom is suing his former manager, Tonita Bybee, for allegedly forging documents in order to steal his home.

According to the lawsuit, obtained exclusively by Page Six on Wednesday, Odom alleges that Bybee — whom he claims he fired in May 2022 — concocted a scheme and improperly sold off a house he owns in Brooklyn, N.Y., to a third party by forging a deed.

The retired NBA star claims the house in question has been in his family “for nearly three decades.”

He also claims his aunt Carol Janean Mercer has been living there since the August 2022 passing of his uncle Michael Mercer.

Per the suit, Carol Janean is purportedly facing eviction as a result of Bybee’s alleged “fraudulent transfer.”

Odom, 43, is accusing Bybee of “identity theft,” “conversion,” “embezzlement,” “misappropriation” and “various other iterations of fraud.”

He claims she “acted with malice, wanton dishonesty and a high degree of immoral turpitude.”
