Let's discuss the National Basketball Association

He did really well on shots in the restricted area, but was pretty awful from everywhere else.

Giannis took 197 shots in the paint outside of the restricted area, shooting just 27.9%. That's by far the worst out of the 62 players with that many attempts.

He took 192 midrange shots and shot 35.9%. That's the worst out of the 36 players with that many attempts.

He took 171 3s and shot 27.5%. That's the worst out of the 201 players with that many attempts.

The FT stat is kind of cheating, since he took the most FTAs this season. But his FT% is still pretty abysmal. You have to go down to Gobert who had the 36th most attempts before getting to a worse free throw shooter.

https://lemmy.ml/c/nba@lemmy.world Or !nba@lemmy.world is the community I’m talking about.

Seems to have gathered more people. Don’t know why, but in these quickly changing times chance is probably a big factor.

No reason multiple communities can’t survive, but realistically, as we know from Reddit, one will often dominate.

Sorry for the mod here if they were keen to start a community. From what I understand, moderators of a community need not be all on the same instance, so maybe you could help out over on lemmy.world. It seems they might want it too.

Lemmy.world should be a stable instance as it’s run by @ruud@mastodon.world who runs a number of instances including a fairly large mastodon one.

Considering LeBron went through a number of finals runs in his peak where he hit a few game 7s, I was surprised he had never achieved this

Not that he couldn't resign with Toronto, but I think he could be the biggest FA in a weak FA year

Do you think the Nuggets win it all tonight? Or will the zombie Heat hang on to win and keep the series going?

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro, who was officially upgraded to questionable Monday, is expected to dress and attempt to play in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, sources told ESPN.

Who you got tonight?

Box score here. Who's going to win the series? Jokic had a huge game yet the Nuggets lost. Seems like Miami's defensive gameplan is to let Jokic score and lock everyone else up.
