Even Hakeem wore out

We talked about the time capsule. I want this in there, too.

Sports Illustrated does this every so often, it is a fun read every time. Chris Ballard wants to know why NBA players stopped visiting Hakeem Olajuwon every summer to improve their post-up persuasiveness (it’s because Hakeem works for the Rockets now). Why players seek open threes instead of contested twos performed with their backs to the rim, facing the opposite direction.

Ballard wants to know why nobody bunts anymore why NBA teams don’t post players as much anymore.
