The thinking basketball fans been seen this and are so happy thinking basketball getting this recognition

@dylanbach8578 10 ай бұрын

The bad thing is that this level of recognition is always going to bring out haters. There are so many comments under his current videos talking about how he “must have never actually played basketball or that his stats are fake or he’s a hater nerd” despite the fact that he shows his film work to back up or explain the analytics. It honestly reeks of “anti-expert” dunning-Krueger syndrome: people who watch highlights think that their limited view of basketball is more valuable than an expert who puts as much of their biases away to study the game at its core.

@TyroneNBAFan 10 ай бұрын

Yep, Thinking Basketball put this video out around the time LeBron broke the record. I'll go back even further. Thinking Basketball has a website called Back Picks that's been out for a long time. I checked out they're "Greatest NBA Careers" articles long before they had a KZfaq channel. This guy and the contributors to that channel and website have always been next level.
