Stephen A. Smith says ANALYTICS leading to a paucity of African-Americans in NBA head coaching jobs

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Most overused word ever when describing guards.....That, and ball dominant......

I guess you rather have had Korver, or Kirilenko

"The efficiency!"

So did the heat, it's the reason why wade and Bron stopped talking so many 3s

They stopped shooting 3's because they can't shoot.

You make no sense. You taking shyt out of context.

A lot of GM and coach hires do seem racist but analytics ain't got nothin to do with it.

clearly I'm not saying that.

and it's weird how you assume Korver's really good at advanced stats. What would lead you to believe that?

All season I read how good Amir Johnson's and Valuciunas "per 36 minutes" stats were. They looked great against Washington, huh?

PER, per 36 mins stats are a great way to get a GM fired.

Oh No.... Its framed in the right context alright.... ESPN Formulas used to judge how good a player was\is...........

The numbers tell you their defense is good. My eyes tell me their defensive numbers are good because a lot of teams don't play hard against them.

which is why you use NEITHER advanced or eye tests on their own.

I actually have no idea...... but his type of play is what the formula was probably created for......

I, no lie, read this year that Kyle Korver would average Wilt Chamberlain numbers if he shot as much as Allen Iverson. I know most people don't take advanced stats serious, but those are type of comments that people justify by advanced stats.

FGA & FG% are advanced stats now?

I cant stand espn lol this makes no sense black people are just as capable of using analytic s as white people

efficiency stats existed BEFORE Hollinger. Let's not give an entire company credit for this.

But that's not all they used, though.

Analytics heavy teams still have yet to win a ring, and it'll stay that way. The analytics heavy Rockets just made it to the second round finally. OKC is watching from the couch. The Sixers love analytics and they're the worst team in the NBA. Don't give me the Spurs, they have 3 hall of famers.

These are terrible examples and half truths with no context but I think analytic s is only part of what you need to use to be successful.
