Unlike a Luka Doncic or Prime James Harden, Brown’s own playmaking capabilities are very lackluster meaning he cannot make up (and significantly outpace) his league leading turnovers like they can. It also doesn’t help that he scores less on much worse efficiency than other players who usually lead the league in TOs

JB was 2nd in the league in usage and doesn’t have anywhere near the passing chops to justify it, leading to lackluster advanced statistics

This is obviously not to take away from his egregious dirtiness and fouling, but there was more to the guy’s game than that despite what some (like Gilbert Arenas for example) suggest.

Game Title: HexHoops

Platform: Browser (no download, no signup)

Description: HexHoops is basketball trivia played on a hex board. Every hex is tagged with a category — "Lakers," "All-Star," "25+ PPG," that kind of thing — and you claim a tile by typing a player who fits it. Each player is a one-shot: use them once and they're gone for good, but if you whiff, they're still up for grabs later. The real hook is the spillover mechanic — a correct answer claims every neighboring hex that player also qualifies for, auto-claiming empty tiles and stealing/flipping your opponent's. One sharp pick can swing control of the whole board in a single move. Own the most tiles when the board fills up and you win. There are three modes: Pass & Play for couch games with no clock, Challenge a Friend for online matches with a 4-letter room code, and Solo Run, where you try to clear the board using the fewest players possible. I built this because it felt like the perfect offseason project — no games to watch, just free-agency rumors on loop, so I wanted something for people to actually do with their basketball knowledge instead.

At that time, there was no 3-point line in the NBA.

The transition from the ABA to NBA was a bit of a step back for Louie Dampier; or perhaps a step forward.

He was a star in the ABA, playing for the Kentucky Colonels, but didn't get as many minutes in his 30s with the San Antonio Spurs (who merged from the ABA with the NBA).

He was 35.8% from 3 for his ABA career on 3.0 3PA.

He had two seasons where he shot 36.1% from 3 (6.7 3PA and 7.1 3PA), leading the ABA in 3s made.

He had one season where he shot 38.7% from 3 on 1.5 3PA.

I coach a neighborhood basketball team. We practice in my backyard because we don't have money for a gym

Honestly, half our practice time is just chasing balls. Kids miss, balls roll into the bushes, down the driveway, into the neighbor's yard. It's exhausting. The kids lose focus. I lose my voice yelling for them to go get it

I saw this portable basketball shooting machine and it catches the ball and passes it back. Looks lightweight and easy to set up. Seems perfect for a backyard setup

But here's my worry. We have about 20 kids showing up every week. That's a lot of use. Will a budget-friendly machine actually hold up? Or will it break after a month of kids abusing it?

I don't have a big budget. This would come out of my own pocket. I need something that works and lasts

Has anyone used one of these for a team? Are they worth it? Or should I just keep running after balls like I'm doing now? I'd love some honest advice before I spend the money

The video is too long for Streamable.

Watch how he drains those beautiful rainbow 3s.
