Every time I see Bob Costas, the only thing I can think about is Costas saying this about Pedro Strop

" Pointing towards the heavens.We can only ask, or wonder that he is asking some departed relative for forgiveness for this atrocious performance"

Graphic titled "Is This Anything?" showing the draft pick selected by the team with the worst record in seasons when six NBA teams had a win percentage under .300. Six players are featured: Derrick Coleman (#1, 1990, New Jersey Nets), Antonio Daniels (#4, 1997, Vancouver Grizzlies), Raef LaFrentz (#3, 1998, Denver Nuggets), Michael Beasley (#2, 2008, Miami Heat), Tyreke Evans (#4, 2009, Sacramento Kings), and Derrick Williams (#2, 2011, Minnesota Timberwolves). A man appears on the left side with his hand on his chin in a thinking pose.

In the six seasons where six teams finished with a win percentage under .300, these were the draft selections made by the team with the worst record that year.

That's a good one

Five teams this season have a winning percentage under .300

Is that the most ever?

No. In fact there have been six total seasons with six teams finishing with a win % under .300

Where are you sitting?

I've been thinking more about how to visualize the "more chances, fewer points per shot" vs "fewer chances, more points per shot" and I came up with this graphic.

On the y axis is "opportunity rate", which subtracts turnover rate from offensive rebound rate +

I.... Can't stop watching

I have no idea what he says. It was a weird time to be asking a question to Jokic with a 15 seconds left in an already decided game.

Just the camera angle, Dosunmu popping out and asking a question and Jokic shaking his head no. I thought it was hilarious no context NBA

I can answer the context which was weird in itself. Ayo Dosunmu was checking into the game with like 15 seconds left as he was at the table for a while but the Wolves had the game won and took a shot clock violation on purpose. Ayo Dosunmu checks in here. Nuggets ball as they run out the clock.
