@DanaONeilWriter@nyknicks As decorated as he was, Jay Wright probably still didn't get enough credit then, and there isn't enough outrage now, that the system drove him from coaching.
@DaveGallagher22 Great point. Analytics makes compelling arguments rooted in data and logic that are not incorrect nor invaluable but completely ignore reality. Game is still played by people.
@dambach76@CoryGiger The Soul Power ABA documentary is good. They intro’d Kareem as a “3-time national champion and UCLA graduate.” Kareem probably isn’t the only one, or the last one. But I don’t think we’ll ever see another player who wins three tournaments, graduates, and goes in the first round.
@ScottLauber@PhillyInquirer Great baseball story. The parallels between their playing careers are tighter than I realized. Right down to both having played in 1,785 games. I wish Mattingly had more. I’ll get Joe Boo some rum so Harper does. https://t.co/KyJjaRaNA7
