“Let me be clear: Any new approach must ensure the integrity of the game. One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport. I oppose any course of action that would compromise these objectives. But I believe that sports betting should be brought out of the underground and into the sunlight where it can be appropriately monitored and regulated” ShouldBelieveImportantActionCoursesGamesI BelieveSportsResponsibilityClearIntegrityProtectBasketballApproachLet MeObjectivesCompromisePreservesLeagueNbaSunlightBettingSports BettingNew ApproachCommissioners Author:Adam Silver
“I'm not really worried about my numbers now as a 36-year-old. I'm not trying to be the first, experimental case of a 36-year-older trying to maintain his numbers, especially when I'm on a team like this. Can I do the same stuff I could do when I was Amare's age? Of course not. I'm not going to even try. However, I feel that I'm the baddest 36-year-old out there.” FeelsTryingYearsFirstsAgeCoursesStuffNumbersCasesTeamBasketballWorried Author:Shaquille O'Neal

“In evaluating the way in which ball possessions are gained during the course of a game, we find that 60 to 80 percent of the possessions are gained by rebounding and after an opponent's score. Twenty percent come from opponents's error, and only 5 percent of the possessions come from steals and interceptions. A study of the way ball possessions are gained makes it seem highly impractical to base pressure defense on interceptions and steals.” WaySeemsCoursesGamesStudyBasketballPercentBallsTwentiesPressureErrorsPossessionDefenseStealingOpponentsCoachingScoreBasketball CoachingInterceptions Author:Ralph Miller
