I found this on X:
The Chicago Bulls mascot Benny invited Spurs players to join him in a pregame activity featuring a miniature hoop and basketball. Both De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle took a moment out of their warm up to participate. The results…were not good. Fortunately the hoops in the United Center were larger and more fitting for the Spurs star guards.
As it turned out, the Bulls were feeling themselves in the first half, shooting
over 80% from beyond the arc giving the Spurs a 21-point deficit. Chicago did regress to the mean for the remaining minutes losing their lead and allowing the Spurs to complete a their road trip with four wins. The Spurs winning streak is now at ten games as they head home to host the Golden State Warriors in Emirates Cup competition.
As the Spurs continue to accumulate accolades this season, Victor Wembanyama’s statistics reveal a dominant force and early favorite MVP candidate. This graphic determined his “statistical twin” using 14 metrics.
As a Spurs geek and a math geek, I found this post most interesting. I watched it multiple times and now I am dissecting the math to see if I can teach this in my statistics class. If anything, it will make an interesting presentation.
What do you think? Statistically Hakeem Olajuwon is the closest to Wemby, but is he the most similar when the numbers are stipped away?
