I added a tab to The F5's homepage with links to the 60+ #rstats tutorials I've written since 2021
The F5 costs $5/month and you get access to the archive as soon as you subscribe. I think it's a fair deal but if you're a student or can't justify the cost get in touch

Glad I could help pull the curtain back just a bit in support of his project on the NBA Top 10.

Good stuff. Of course it doesn’t. These are NBA players, who know exceedingly accurately how much time and space they need to got their shot off. For them most part I’d be willing to wager they never even noticed the Kornet Kontest happening.

Luke Kornet would contest three-point shots without getting near a shooter, just trying to obscure the rim, callijg the move an eclipse.
@owenlhjphillips spent a good amount of time studying it and found useful results.

Does the Kornet Kontest Work?
Luke Kornet's Eclipse is a fan favorite, but is it effective?

Caught this in @maxread.info’s latest and this is such a good articulation of the difference between early 20s ambitious young people and folks who have a bit of experience (including failure).
“It’s an attitude, not a skill” is it in a nutshell.

the only thing preventing me from making the full time switch to #Positron is the lack of a Re-Run Previous Section shortcut. Might be my most used shortcut in RStudio

this is from something back in 2021, but the summer league stats that are most correlated with a rookies performance in the NBA tend to be related to play style (threes, o. rebounds, blocks) rather than production/efficiency
