3 months agoThe record speaks for itself. People can say whatever they want about improved international competition, roster composition, coaching gaps between NBA/college, etc. but 75-1 is an insane record no matter how you spin it. You’d really have to stretch to defend Pop or Kerr’s records over his.
Krzyzewski always ran short rotations at Duke while managing talented players with big egos, which may have made him more comfortable doing the same thing in the Olympics, even with NBA stars.
This is great, I’ve always wanted a normalized TS. Players from the early/mid 00s are often disrespected because that era is the least efficient era from the 80s onward, due to the style of play.
Steve Nash and Ray Allen are probably the biggest winners of this metric, from that era. Nash in particular was outrageously efficient. He was in the 90th percentile for 14 straight seasons, right up until retirement (technically, his final year was in the 20th percentile).
