Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's combination of scoring volume and consistency is unmatched in NBA history 🔗: wp.me/pc2RuA-1lyZSr Nobody is even in the same section of the graph as SGA!
We are now entering the part of the NFL Draft where teams are more likely to end up starting undrafted players anyway h/t @kendallbaker
No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams has a signing bonus of $25.5 million ✍️ @kbadenhausen: wp.me/pc2RuA-1lyZT4 How much are the top NFL Draft picks earning over the next four years? @Sportico has the numbers 👇
NFL rookie contracts are only +4% this year despite the salary cap rising +14% Why? When the cap declined in 2021 due to COVID, the NFL & NFLPA amended the usual formula to not penalize the 2021 rookies The compromise was essentially to “borrow money” from future draft classes
Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader is the NBA's most consistent 30 points per game scorer... ever ✍️: wp.me/pc2RuA-1lyZSr The least consistent? 2006-07 Kobe Bryant
Offensive linemen, wide receivers, and quarterbacks are all being selected in the 1st round of the NFL Draft at historically high rates so far in the 2020s Running backs are in free fall 📉
Joel Embiid had the 50th 50-point playoff game in NBA history tonight Less than halfway into the 2020s, there have already been more 50-point playoff games than in any other decade
We've already tied a record for most quarterbacks selected in the 1st round of the NFL Draft
NBA true shooting landscape in 2023-24 👇 What jumps out to you?
Between 2014 and 2017, NBA teams starting trending towards more heliocentric offenses From 2017 to 2024, star players' usage rates have been much higher than any previous era of NBA history
Miami now has four playoff games in the past two seasons with 50% shooting from three...against Boston. No other team has more than one...against anyone.
Andy Reid's $20M/year extension makes him the highest-paid coach in U.S. sports ✍️ @kbadenhausen: wp.me/pc2RuA-1lyZN0 The only coach ever to earn more on an annual basis was Bill Belichick

Bruh, they really said they couldn’t wait to play the Nuggets! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@LevAkabas It's actually wild how low his single game scoring ceiling has been x.com/sports_mediocr…
Crazy NBA stat of the day #59: What would you guess the career high would be for a player who averaged... 2 seasons ago: 24pts/g 1 season ago: 25pts/g This season: 31pts/g This is Shai and his career high is only 42. Seems really low given his averages
Not a big @NBA guy, but this @LevAkabas thread/story fascinated me. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander essentially never scores less than 20 points in a game, and rarely scores more than 40 points in a game. Never goes off; never struggles. How is that possible?
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the most consistent high volume scorer in NBA history... A data viz thread 📊🧵 (1) SGA scored between 30 and 34 points in a ridiculous 46% of his games this season. Compare that to someone who runs more hot and cold, like Jalen Brunson 👇
