Deceleration for basketball players is becoming the new norm. Used to be a couple guys. Now it’s being taught to all players.

Basketball IQ can mean a lot of things. Here's one example. Nickeil Alexander Walker calculating his offensive rebounding chances mid rebound. Instead of jumping, he gets back in transition and prevents a layup.

Can't wait to watch Jokic win Serbia a gold medal in the 2032 Water Polo Olympics x.com/i/status/13613…

Naz Reid had the highest body fat % measured at the 2019 draft combine. He went undrafted. He worked on his body, he worked on his game. He won 6th Man of Year. He just went at the MVP and helped beat the defending champs. What a story.

Barca U18 playing advantage basketball. Spread PnR -> drive the 45 -> seal the roll. Jakucionis has the feel.

Luka can’t hide on D vs Celtics, nor can they help him out without sacrificing good looks to C’s shooters

Devin "DDT" Carter. Intense screen navigation x lateral strength x wingspan. Shades of Jalen Suggs.

"Missi, pulls from 22.... Way Off"

Nice manipulation from OKC SL coach Daniel Dixon. Opened with this elevator action and then used it as a decoy for the last play iso.

All of Yves Missi screening/rim protection highlights vs Bulls

9 screen assists, 24 pts off his screens per NBA.com/Stats in 23 mins. A real advantage creator with pace in and out of screens. Role is important for young development. Missi got a good one.

The Deandre Ayton Experience

Pelicans taking the Big Easy nickname a little too seriously

Warriors got 20+ pts on their trademark split action last night. Carved the Pels up with off-ball movement all game.

With Pels lack of ballhandling + playmaking bigs, expect to see more teams trap pick and rolls like the Warriors did. W for Coach Kerr + staff. Pels turn to adjust tonight.

Better adjustment from Willie Green tonight, countering the trap with guards (Hawkins) setting, slipping out

Happy Halloween.

Casual 180 pass from Donovan Mitchell
