This is the story of that play.

The Nate Situation

On February 8, 2017, the Delaware 87ers signed Nate Robinson from the pool of the available players.

“Robinson might be best known in Philadelphia as the man who robbed former Sixer Andre Iguodala in the 2006 Slam Dunk Contest.” – not every fan seemed thrilled by this signing

At almost 33, Robinson was a declining veteran that played only two NBA games with the New Orleans Pelicans the season before and was trying to fight to stay relevant and make his way back into the league after a brief experience with Hapoel Tel Aviv.

However, he still was a three times Slam Dunk Contest winner that enchanted the crowds and a 5-foot-9 inches player that played over 600 NBA games. This was something you didn’t see every day at the D-League level.

He debuted with the Sevens on 14th February against the Maine Red Claws, playing 18 minutes in a 20-point win.

After a 3-0 record since Robinson’s signing, on the 25th February 2017 the Delaware 87ers faced the Raptors 905 at the Bob Carpenter Center, their home arena from 2013 to 2018.

In this game, Robinson checks in for Aaron Harrison with 4:05 left in the first quarter.

At the 8:04 minutes mark in the second quarter, Nate gets the ball on the right wing from Shawn Long who immediately sets a screen for him. At this point, Walter Tavares, the giant Raptors 905’s defensive center, jumps off the screen and traps Robinson with EJ Singler’s help, clearly thinking their length would be overwhelming for the 5’9 guard.

Robinson, trapped in a corner unable to do whatever, with a fearless move, goes towards the only open gap between him and the paint. And that gap happens to be the opening between Tavares’ long legs.

Taking advantage of the high center of gravity of the Cape Verdean big man, Robinson dribbles through his legs.

The possession ends with Nate attempting a shot at the rim and a foul by CJ Leslie who starts shouting furiously to the referees.

But everyone is still in awe of what happened right before and the reactions in the stands are disparate: those who clap, those who laugh, others in shock.

This is the “Natemeg” (as a Reddit user named it): an unprecedented basketball move that required unusual physical features, courage and the creativity to even just imagine it. A true metaphor of Robinson’s career.

“They thought I didn’t take the game seriously because I was playing around and having a good time but I think that was my gift as in keeping my inner child and staying young, man, that was my gift to the world.”

Nate Robinson

Son of a Gun

There’s bewilderment and anger on the Raptors’ players’ faces. What just happened can’t be properly processed. 

What just happened falls in an undefined regulatory zone.

That move is potentially dangerous and probably shouldn’t be regular but it doesn’t break any rule.

Walter Tavares, “sacrificed” on the altar of Robinson’s show, complains without much conviction.

But at the end of the day that’s just an unfortunate lowlight in the middle of a dominant defensive season for Tavares. He averaged 2.7 blocks and 0.8 steals in just 23.6 minutes per game during that season with the Raptors 905.

Standing at 7’3 with a 7’9 wingspan, he towered above every opponent but he also showed a solid understanding and processing of the game combined with better ground coverage than you would expectet from your gigantic big man. A terrific mix that made him the D-League Defensive Player of the Year that season.

However it wasn’t enough to convince another NBA team to bet on him and on 10th November 2017, Tavares signed with Real Madrid for the rest of the 2017-18 season. As soon as he came back to Europe, he was one of the best defensive players around. He was the block leader and won Defensive Player of the year of the Spanish League already in 2017-18, an award that he has now won for 6 straight seasons.

He didn’t break out abruptly, becoming as impactful as he is now. He was 24 at the time and added pieces to his game through the years but the foundation for a high-level defensive presence was already there in the then D-League.

But there’s another consideration about his developmental curve and his lack of NBA success.

He found himself in the league probably in the period of the greatest aversion for big men. The Warriors meteorite hit the league a couple of years before and almost everyone was convinced the consequent small ball cloud would’ve provoked the extinction of the big man (while we now know they “found a way”). This certainly wasn’t the best environment for a 7’3 giant to thrive and for a team to invest efforts on such a player on the margins.

I’m convinced Tavares could’ve been a decent backup center in the NBA for a while in his prime, especially on a team with a defense based on conservative schemes. In addition to his obvious defensive skills, he has also been a 71% free throw shooter through his career (on over 1700 attempts across Europe, NBA and G League) while flirting with a 0.50 free throw rate and this skill would have certainly helped him stay on the floor for longer periods.

But at the end of the day, after going back to Europe and being that impactful from the start, Tavares likely had no reason to leave Madrid and his well-paid, starring role in exchange for a similarly paid, more uncertain NBA role.

The Gold Gadget

 “He gave the people what they wanted to see”

After the initial disbelief, that was the first thought Varun Raghupathi, the play-by-play commentator, had while calling that game in Newark.

Most of the 2,853 persons in attendance probably were there just to see “the Gadget”, who was already one of the most well-known and popular players that would ever play for the Delaware 87ers. 

“He seemed to know that half the crowd was there just to see him, so he was definitely trying to put on a show and entertain the people who came out for him”

In the middle of a bad game, ending at one for six from the field, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls and a -18 plus/minus, Robinson found a way to delight them with an unprecedented play.

Nate Robinson’s mix of superhuman athleticism, passion for Allen Iverson and his childish approach to the game made him a true showman of the parquet. KryptoNate jumping over Dwight “Superman” Howard, his legendary blocks on Yao Ming and Shaquille O’Neal, his dunk over Spud Webb. He often felt part of his well-written script; he was gifted with a cinematic perfection that is hard to explain.

But the story of the “Natemeg” is also telling about the growth of the NBA development league in the last years. The landscape has drastically changed since then. The 2016-17 season was the last season before the Gatorade sponsorship that lit the fuse of a new era.

In the last 6 season, the G League completed its transformation from a seeming sentencing for players on the margins to a powerful opportunity not only for players but also for staffs, executives and obviously for NBA teams.

Since the advent of the Gatorade sponsorship, the NBA implemented numerous tools to give teams a better control on “developmental” players and encourage the franchises to invest more into their affiliates. This made the League a true pool of talent with stronger bounds with the NBA and created a virtuous circle in which almost everyone involved, from the executives to the coaches and the players, is pushed to be better to reach the next level.

Some teams understood the power of a well-organized G League affiliate earlier, some later but the general trend has been undeniable. Indeed every NBA team will at last have a G League affiliate for the 2024-25 season (compared to the 22 teams of the 2016-17 season).

It’s also interesting to analyze the players who stepped on the court at the Bob Carpenter Center that day. The Raptors 905’s starting five was composed of John Jordan, Negus Webster-Chan, Antwaine Wiggins, Bruno Caboclo and Yanick Moreira with CJ Leslie, Brady Heslip, EJ Singler, Walter Tavares and Christian Watford completing the rotation. The Delaware 87ers lined up Russ Smith, Brandon Triche, Aaron Harrison, James Webb III and Shawn Long with Devondrick Walker, Danuel House, Nate Robinson, Carlos Lopez-Sosa and Roscoe Smith off the bench. Overall the only players that carved out a real NBA role were Danuel House, Nate Robinson (well past his prime at the time) and maybe Caboclo if you want to count him.

The Raptors 905 won the league that year and, in hindsight, they lined up Pascal Siakam and Fred Vanvleet for a certain number of games, but those two were just a 27th pick and an undrafted guard at the time. The 905 have probably been one of the first teams to believe in the D-League as a valid development path.

The increse of talent through the years has been striking. Nowadays basically every G League game is full of two-way players, valid rookies, NBA veterans and lately we’ve even seen a greater tendency to assign lottery picks to the G League. Six lottery picks from the 2023 Draft spent time playing there during this season. Amen Thompson, Taylor Hendricks, Jarace Walker, Jett Howard, Gradey Dick, Jordan Hawkins: they collectively played over 75 G League games so far.

Primary criticisms of the G League include how playstyle is too different from an actual NBA game and can lead to developmental short circuits, points I partly agree with it. But I also think it depends on the team taken into consideration. More teams are getting better at creating functional structures to support the prospects’ development. A recent example that comes to mind is how the Memphis Hustle rebuilt GG Jackson’s habits in the past months (and I think Jason Preston’s ability to set his teammates up really helped here).

However, in the face of exponential growth, there are still some weak points that affect the level of the product.

The turnover within the rosters of players that aren’t two-ways or NBA assignees certainly gives a dynamic shape to the league but also generates a series of issues. It is probably harder to build advanced offensive and defensive structures and this affects in first place the level of the game and secondly the development of the NBA players assigned to the affiliate teams.

The broadcasting coverage is another long-standing issue. The fragmentation of the television rights probably doesn’t help to create consistent interest around a team or certain storylines. The games freely televised by the G League on their YouTube channel are very difficult to find if you don’t know exactly where to look and the replays are available for a very short time. These things make the league difficult to follow for the average viewer and annoying to study for the analysts (who would be helped also by a better stats management on the official site).

Having the television rights concentrated in fewer hands, bringing back games streamed on a well-known platform like Twitch (the “Natemeg” game was streamed on Facebook for example) and making the replays available for longer times are solutions that would make the product much more consumable.

Moving on to a less technical aspect, the development of the league is clear even simply looking at the arena in which the game was played. At the time the then Delaware 87ers were playing in a college arena that didn’t enhance their brand. Now the Delaware Blue Coats play in the Chase Fieldhouse, a gem with a small capacity but characterized by large glass walls that make it one of the most fascinating arenas of the league in my opinion.

Epilogue

The “Natemeg” encapsulates a universe of different topics behind a curtain of spectacularity. It weaves together an iconic player on the wane but still able to amaze, the growing pains of a dominant international defensive player and the transformation of everything related to the NBA development league.

More elevated and compelling matters generally catch our attention but sometimes even just revisiting a single play can put things in a different light, telling us a long and interesting story.

The post Revisiting the “Natemeg”, the craziest play you didn’t know about appeared first on Swish Theory.

Born as a combo forward, Horry channeled, shaped his disruptive energy into a controlled power forward endowed with quick processing ability that shined at providing whatever his teams needed to compensate for what their stars lacked—a terrific recipe for a long and successful career.

However, it isn’t his skillset that made him such an interesting, magnetic player.

With his 7 rings, he is the most winning player of the modern NBA but was never considered a first-tier player throughout his career. This intersection of factors made him a polarizing figure in the collective imagination. On one hand, a segment of fans consider him a legendary player with almost superhuman qualities. On the other one, some just consider him one of the luckiest players ever.

Moreover, Horry forged his legend hitting important shots in crucial moments throughout his whole career. There’s certainly a luck component in his story and all the rhetoric about the clutchness can be cloying. But Horry’s “big shots” tell us a clear thing: He could stay on the floor in the most important possessions of a season. That’s not given, but rather a sign of how he didn’t have major flaws that opponents could exploit and play him off the floor.

So novices and romantics are bewitched by his “clutchness” and swagger. Some viewers discredit and despise him for what he represents in “Ring Culture.” Amid all this noise, Horry the player can become blurry.

What I asked myself was, simply: “what was he like on the floor?”

CRIMSON BLOCK BOB

After a decorated career at Andalusia High School ended with the Naismith Alabama High School Player of the Year award, Robert Horry committed to Alabama and enrolled as a freshman in 1988.

He went through a steady development and by his senior season he was the clear defensive anchor of the team and a solid offensive player, while Latrell Sprewell was the first offensive option.

During his career at Alabama, Horry looked like a prospect who would’ve become a Draft Twitter darling nowadays. He was a lanky, lengthy 6’9/6’10 forward who excelled as a team defender, could check players on the perimeter, and had a solid base of connective passing and shooting. And he looked like a White Men Can’t Jump (that ironically premiered during his senior season and its trailer was shown during the games’ broadcasts) or The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air character with his swagger and that sick fade haircut.

His defensive potential was obvious. He was consistently running up and down the court, defending centers and forwards, pressing full court on smaller players, rotating and deterring shots, flying around sending attempts into the stands. He wasn’t the most refined or the physically strongest defender but his energy and instincts mixed with his anticipation and great hand placement made him an overwhelming defensive presence.

Horry was a true stocks generator: he averaged 3.5 blocks and 1.5 steals during his senior season. Obviously, blocks and steals aren’t everything, but his numbers give an idea of the level of his disruptive defensive nature and overall dynamism. 

For reference, Shaquille O’Neal had 157 blocks in the 91-92 season, while Horry had 121. They were the only players in SEC history to finish a season with at least 100 blocks at the time.

(Yes, that’s Shaquille O’Neal blocked by Robert Horry)

Just for reference to further understand how special these numbers were, he still is Alabama’s all-time leader per career blocks at 286 in 134 games.

However, at Alabama, he was required to do a lot of the post-up stuff that was considered the bread and butter of every respectable power forward at the time. With his thin frame and his relatively weak lower body, this kind of traditional playstyle didn’t suit him.

Also, he wasn’t only a disruptive defensive force, he was also known for his unruly behavior. Indeed, he wasn’t always able to keep his temper in bounds and was prone to excessive fouls and complaints.

The towel thrown to Danny Ainge that marked the end of his brief and forgotten Suns experience or the infamous hip check on Nash (maybe he still had some resentment towards the Suns?) are two clear examples of his excesses on the court. However, maturing he became way more controlled than his early years.

At this point, we had begun to see Horry in his flexible, energetic defense. His offensive role was more unclear and would eventually be defined in the NBA.

HORRY, THE ROCKET

After his Senior season ended with a loss against North Carolina in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Robert Horry was drafted with the 11th pick in the 1992 draft by the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets were headlined by All-Stars Hakeem Olajuwon and Otis Thorpe and were coming from a chaotic season in which they replaced coach Don Chaney with his assistant and Rockets legend Rudy Tomjanovich.

As a rookie, he immediately claimed the Rockets’ starting small forward spot in place of Buck Johnson who signed with the Washington Bullets as a free agent the previous summer.

Horry clearly was perceived as a defensive-first player early in his professional career. He had pretty simple tasks on offense but was probably lucky to find on his path a coach like Rudy Tomjanovich who believed in his perimeter potential anyway and didn’t try to confine Horry into a more traditional frontcourt role. Tomjanovich played a major role in shaping his offensive game in those early years.

While on defense he had important duties as a free roamer starting with covering the less dangerous forward on the floor, on offense Tomjanovich built for Horry an easier role founded on his energy and dynamism. He was contributing mostly through opportunistic scoring, cutting, and crashing the offensive glass with continuity.

Watching the tape I heard a comment from the broadcaster that expressed efficaciously what was Horry’s role in the Rockets’ offense at the time:

“Every time Olajuwon apparently is in trouble, Robert Horry is his bail-out guy, he’s always moving, slashing to the basket, cutting”

In 1994, Horry still played mostly as a small forward next to Otis Thorpe and Hakeem Olajuwon. Having a 6’9 lengthy defender at small forward alongside two other true big men raised the Rockets’ defensive floor. Indeed, they were second per defensive rating in 1993-94 at 101.4 in the regular season. And if we want to summarize that team, they were a defensive juggernaut almost completely dependent on Olajuwon on offense.

As a sophomore, Horry was already a well-established starter and played 33.8 minutes per game in the playoffs. It’s impressive how he was able to carry the burden of such a large and meaningful role that early in his career. It’s incredibly rare to find a sophomore able to do it on a contender.

A GLIMPSE OF FUTURE

This game-winning shot against the Magic in 1995 is just one of the many clutch shots that created Horry’s legendary fame and this single possession tells us a long story about the 1995 Rockets.

Hakeem Olajuwon, defended by a young Shaquille O’Neal, receives the ball in the low post with a well-spaced offense around him, draws the double-team, and kicks out to Robert Horry on the left wing for the game-winning spot up three.

That was their new reality.

But let’s start from the beginning.

It’s always hard to repeat success after winning a championship and the Rockets learned it in the first half of the 1994-95 season. After being undefeated in the first 9 games of the season, they went 20-16 and realized something wasn’t working anymore. Soon after a bad loss against the Clippers, the worst team in the league, they traded for Clyde Drexler who was on an expiring deal with the Portland Trail Blazers and explicitly expressed his interest to join the Houston Rockets.

On February 14, the Rockets sent Otis Thorpe, Marcelo Nicola, and a first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for the 32 years old Clyde Drexler and Tracy Murray.

Drexler is a University of Houston alumn as well as Hakeem Olajuwon, a reunification was strongly desired by the longtime friends.

“I can’t wait for the first game, I really can’t. He’s the best player in the league, and it’s been a dream of ours ever since we left the University of Houston to play together again.”

Clyde Drexler to the Associated Press

Otis Thorpe was a meaningful part of the team that won the ring the season before and drastically changing your structure on the run requires a lot of courage. But that move paid off and put them and Hakeem on another offensive level.

The 3-point line, which was 23 feet 9 inches at its farthest point in ‘93/’94, was moved to 22 feet before the 94/95 season, and this allowed Tomjanovich and his Rockets to became one of the very first teams in NBA history (along with the Magic they faced during those Finals probably) to fully take advantage of three-pointers and not attempt them just as an extemporaneous solution.

They went from a .191 team Three Point Attempt Rate in 1994 to .267 in 1995, an important shift in their shot distribution.

They turned from a team with a traditional, tough, physically imposing playstyle with two bigs to a futuristic setting that allowed them to deploy several 4-shooter lineups around Hakeem Olajuwon.

Horry was the key to this evolution.

At this point, after a couple of seasons with limited attempts and results, he had become a reliable shooter that could knock down enough spot up threes to force defenses to pay attention to him.

Moving on from the 2-big structure and putting Horry at power forward, in a kind of primordial stretch-4 role, increased significantly the Rockets’ offensive ceiling. Otis Thorpe was a great player, an All-Star, but his lack of a long-range shot hurt the spacing and limited their offensive ceiling.

Horry was also crucial because he was an acceptable defender against many power forwards. During the ’95 Playoffs run, he was the primary defender of Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman, and Horace Grant. Karl Malone was the exception. Against the Jazz, the Rockets were spending other less relevant players like Chucky Brown or Pete Chilcutt on a physical freak like “The Mailman,” while Horry was permitted to float on the other forward with the license to rotate and help at the rim.

The Rockets set the NBA record per attempted and made threes during the 1994-95 season. They attempted 21.4 threes per game and 22.7 per 100 possessions in the Regular Season. These numbers went up during the 1995 Playoffs: they attempted 22.0 threes per game and 23.6 per 100 possessions, making them at a 39.1% rate. These are more threes than what the Spurs attempted in their legendary 2014 run. We have to take into account that the three point line was closer to the rim in 1995 but that’s an incredible accomplishment anyway.

Teams just weren’t structured to cover that much ground defensively. And limit Hakeem Olajuwon with that much space around him was simply impossible. For example, the Spurs were a great defensive team and Robinson was arguably the best player in the league to try to stop them defensively but they were regularly lining up too many big bodies.

Ironically this was probably the most modern version of Robert Horry. At this point of his career, he was an agile help side defender with a 0.423 three point attempt rate. That’s the profile of someone that would thrive in today’s league, a profile with its outline seen in first-year player Taylor Hendricks, for example.

HORRY, THE LAKER

In 1996, Horry became the Rockets’ “sacrificial lamb” to meet Charles Barkley’s request to be traded to Rudy Tomjanovich’s team.

His forgotten experience with the Suns lasted only 32 games and ended with the infamous “Towel-gate” and a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I hated Danny Ainge, I’m not even gonna lie. I hated him. We beat them so many times when he was in Phoenix when I was with the Rockets. Mario Elie is one of my good friends, and in one of the playoff games, he took the ball out – Danny Ainge was a pitcher – he hit Mario in the face with the ball on purpose.”

Robert Horry on the Big Shot Bob Podcast

The duo composed of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal was pretty much identical conceptually to the Drexler-Hakeem duo. With Phil Jackson and his triangle, they probably even had a more traditional approach than the ’95 Rockets.

Does this possession remind you of the Olajuwon-Horry synergy?

In addition, Horry was a great performer for the Triangle Offense. The “triple post offense” is a position-less kind of basketball and ideally, every player on the floor should be able to play every fundamental position of the offense.

Horry’s skillset and versatility allowed him to play pretty much in every position of the offensive schemes. He excelled as the “weakside wing” thanks to his cutting and his intuition for offensive rebounds. His shooting and passing were well suited for the Key, Wing, and Top of the Key positions. The Post position generally was occupied by Shaq but he could be a decent performer on the run or when the triangle was changing the side of the court.

An example of the Lakers’ “Triangle” initial setting.

In this kind of offense, it was crucial to be able to throw decent passes to the post player, the vertex of all three of the triangles. Horry was a great entry-passer from every non-post position on the floor. He clearly developed this (once?) fundamental skill throwing thousands of passes to Hakeem Olajuwon.

In his Lakers experience, he wasn’t an actual starter anymore but still generally was part of the closing lineup.

He also proceeded in his transition into a more “traditional” power forward. He was bigger and his upper body looked stronger, though also made him less agile in space. This development was probably intended to make his life easier against the big power forwards of the early 00s.

He had more duties as a rebounder and as a screener; he wasn’t strictly a spot up shooter but he was allowed to put the ball on the floor if needed. That was probably the context where he had the most diversified offensive usage during his career.

Even the stats give us an idea of how his role changed compared to his Rockets seasons. His rebound percentages, his free throw rate, and his stocks percentages all saw a positive trend. What you would expect from a combo forward transitioning to a more strictly big man role.

His rebounding was on full display during his seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. He used to set strong box-outs, with good technique and crafty use of his elbows on the edge of the rules and was pretty quick to recognize the angle of the ball after the rebound.

The matchup with Chris Webber was emblematic of his type of rebounding. Webber (an awesome, underrated player in my opinion) was more of an athletic rebounder, his box-outs weren’t always on point and Horry’s gave him trouble. In the 2002 Western Conference Finals, Horry averaged 11.1 rebounds per game with a 23% defensive rebound percentage compared to his career playoff average of 16%.

During his Lakers’ tenure, his game was refined from experience while his legs still had fuel left. In the early 00s, with the evidence of his pivotal role along Shaq and Kobe, his incredible ability to fill the gaps left open by the stars of his teams, the real x-factor of his career, became striking.

HORRY, THE SPUR

Robert Horry signed with the San Antonio Spurs in July 2003, at almost 33 years old, on the wane of his career. He couldn’t offer much more than 20 minutes per game consistently, he was slower and mostly a spot-up shooter at that point of his career.

However, he was a perfect piece in Gregg Popovich’s basketball idea, which has always been founded on ball sharing and individual processing, and still managed to have an impactful role for at least further 4 seasons.

“He does everything well. He can defend. He can run the floor. And — as we all know — he can hit big shots. We’re excited to add a player with his skills, experience, and leadership to our team.”

R.C. Buford commenting on Horry signing

From a skillset standpoint he was pretty much always the same but this was probably Horry’s most cerebral version. He made up for his athletic shortcomings with a high level of understanding and anticipation. He rarely committed major mistakes and his execution was almost flawless.

He was fundamental on Popovich’s chessboard to allow him to change identity on the run, going from the bigger starting lineups with two bigs (Nazr Mohammed first and Elson, Oberto later) to the lineups with Duncan at center. 

Ten years apart from that game-winning shot against the Magic, Horry made probably his most iconic shot in Game 5 of the 2005 Finals against the Detroit Pistons, a series-swinging moment that represented the ideal crowning of his career.

That game is a prime example of the late Horry and his overall (inexplicable?) nature.

He struggled defensively for three quarters against Ben and Rasheed Wallace’s physicality and provided a limited offensive contribution. Then he scored a three pointer, suddenly woke up from his torpor, and dominated the 4th quarter through rebounding, shooting, and attacking the always more pressing closeouts.

“He’s just Mr. Intangibles, he’s everywhere and you must pay attention because he keeps things alive under pressure on your offensive board”

Hubie Brown during the broadcast of Game 5 of the 1995 NBA Finals

BIG SHOT BOB, REASON & EMOTION

Trying to capture Robert Horry’s true essence is a challenge that puts a strain on the rational, analytic basketball viewer. His figure goes beyond what can be measured and quantified and can raise questions and doubts about our vision of basketball.

As we saw in this article, the majority of his success can be explained without the need to use vague, mystical terms like “clutchness.” Considering his skillset and his key tactical role, it’s easy to understand why he was so crucial for his teams despite his generally unimpressive raw numbers. And his futuristic ability to fill the gaps of his team (isn’t it what we generally require to power forwards nowadays?) that made him a desirable target for competitive teams completes the big picture here.

However, even the most rational observer can’t ignore the fact that he seemed to have a different drive, a different inner motivation (boosted by his increased relevance on the chessboard?) when the pressure was higher. He apparently had an internal flame that blazed the most whenever the lights shined the brightest, something more appropriate for a psychology essay than a basketball article.

And this part of his figure is probably what made him one of the most legendary, special, and loved “normal” players in NBA history.
