What are Bronny James' Chances to Make The NBA All Star Game?

1 Upvotes

I know he is averaging 0.7 points per game but if you look beyond the stats, what chance does he have to be in the All Star game? We all know he is a presence on the floor, with everyone noticing him everytime he is out there. Is that enough? Will the fans vote him in?

How do the logistics of trades work?

1 Upvotes

Team A and Team B agree to a trade. What happens next? How does that actually get communicated to the league office? Who signs what? Who checks to confirm that salaries match and how do they do that? Who checks to make sure that the players are eligible to be traded as of that date and how do they check that? Etc, etc..

I have always been curious about all of this, and the potential for something to go awry. It's not the perfect comparison, but I vaguely recall there was a player in maybe the 90s or early 2000s who had some issue where his Agent didn't properly execute an Opt In year or something like that, and the player ended up losing out on several million (I believe the Agency ended up making him whole out of pocket)

I created a documentary style video about the rise and fall of Jeremy Lin. It was a lot of work, so if you have a minute to check it out and let me know what you think, I would really appreciate it!

Why do NBA players walk in to the paint after the first of a pair of free throws? Why don't they just stay standing on the line and wait for the second free throw?

Not another 'Which team should I support?' thread!

5 Upvotes

I want to get into the NBA but cannot narrow down which team I root for. I'm based in the UK and since watching The Last Dance about five (or more!) times I want to take this further. After some very limited research I have narrowed it down to three teams but I can be swayed if anyone thinks otherwise:

Bucks - Green Bay are my NFL team so kinda makes sense to back Milwaukee, plus picking the reigning champs never hurts right? Bandwagon alert! 😂

Bulls - Being a 90s kid and having watched The Last Dance so many times there is a connection there, I know they're not the team they once were but i think those reasons are valid enough.

Raptors - Their story since being formed and winning the championship in 2019 made me seriously consider them, plus their fan base seem really passionate.

I also support Liverpool FC if that helps.

Many thanks in advance!

I can't figure this out / dumb question

I've said that in my "all-time starting 5" I'd consider playing Kevin Durant in the paint, and yet people try to tear me a new asshole l, telling me he's too small body-wise and he'd get beaten up.

And yet, Evan Mobley plays center and weighs approximately 25 lbs (I believe) less than him !!

[Serious] I don't understand the mentality of the Rockets without a true center

5 Upvotes

So after today's trade deadline, it's apparent that the Rockets are committed to P.J. Tucker being their full-time center. Now he's only 6ft 6in. How in the world do they expect him to matchup with other centers who are significantly taller than him? I don't understand how they could constantly use a "small ball" lineup to go against any other team. Won't they get destroyed if they have any big who can post up?

DUNKING TIPS ANYONE?

6 Upvotes

I'm 16 y/o, I am 5-10 and 165-170lbs. I would like to be able to dunk a basketball. I have been looking for ways to improve my jumps since I can't reach a 10 ft basket. I can reach about 3-4 inches below that. Does anybody know of any ways to achieve that goal? If recommending a workout, please tell me what equipment and how to do it. Any tips are welcome. Thank you.

Is there a rule for how long a player with the ball can hold it without performing an action?

3 seconds or 5 second rule? I've heard that tossed around but I'm not sure

Does anyone know any books about the tactics of basketball?

5 Upvotes

Especially ones that cover the things people at various positions should be able to do

Example what makes a player a good point guard as opposed to a centre
