I coached and ref'ed youth basketball for 20 years. I stopped about 5 years ago because I got tired of all the complaints when I called a travel or a carry. Then I would get hit with the argument. I saw them do it in the NBA. I know I am just the old man yelling to get off my lawn but I like a more strict observance to the rules.

Curry overlapped Ray Allen's career by a few years, and eventually passed his record. As of the (2/10) game vs the Suns, he's at 3624. I'm assuming he probably plays for at least a few more years and retires at a total of 4200 or more. Are there any active players, even down to the rookies, who you think could eventually surpass that number? Or do you think that the eventual player has yet to be drafted?
Looking at the current list, he has a few seasons totals worth of a lead on the closest active guys like Lillard and Harden, who are both getting up there in age and have declined a bit on their totals.

Hi everyone! My friend and I have an NBA podcast that’s very unserious and we’re hoping to do one soon on the most dramatic moments from this season so far! We’d love if anyone could provide some input in case we missed some gems!
Some of our favorites so far:
-
Giannis game ball
-
PJ Tucker
-
LeGM asked about trade machine
-
James Harden saying he is the system
-
Draymond saying he’d quit basketball
Small ball era is at an end and big ball is here. The Warriors ushered in small ball and the NBA rule changes combined with that basically extinguished the traditional low post big man. Then the big man evolved. For years the position was kind of dead but players like Joker, KAT, Embiid really brought new life to the center.
Jokic, Embiid and to a lesser extent (because he's not as traditionally big) Giannis dominated in their prime, winning MVP's and being at the top of the MVP race showing that you can build around at least one great big man.
Lakers and Bucks won title with Bigs and that was another shift but the big eye opener was probably the very long Denver Nuggets championship team and the very quickly successful Cleveland Cavaleirs twin towers duo of Evan Mobley and Jarret Allen.
I think that opened a lot of eyes. Other teams in the NBA started going back to at least having one legitimate big by this time but few had two really big players. Then the Wolves made the Gobert trade and that looked like a disaster so it kind of made people pause.
Then came this season, the Wolves have been at the top of the west all year and often dominant. In general, big teams are doing pretty we are starting hear fans and analyst claim that certain teams "need to get bigger".
I think the Mavericks and the move they made is a direct response to the league going big. I think part of the reason why the Warriors have fallen off outside of age is because they are so small and the game is kind of passing them by.
Players like Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are just going to push the size movement father. If the Wolves see any kind of serious success in the post-season I think that will be the final nail in the coffin of the small ball era.

Jrue has been lights out from the corners this season. 60.9% from the right corner, 61.3% from the left corner. He's shooting a career-high 42.8% from 3 overall, which leads the team and puts him at 11th-best in the league (min. 200 attempts).
I think his contributions so far this season have been a bit overlooked. At a glance many people just see he's averaging the least points out of our starting 5 (13.3ppg) and say he's not playing good, disregarding all the good he's done for us so far. As a new addition he's obviously been overshadowed by Kristaps who has been extremely impactful but don't get it twisted, Jrue is putting in work too.
He is currently leading the team in:
-
Overall 3pt percentage (42.8%)
-
Catch and shoot 3pt percentage (47.3%)
-
Left, right, and overall corner 3pt percentage (61.3%/60.9%/61.1%)
-
Charges drawn (6, tied with Derrick White)
-
Deflections (109, also tied with Derrick White)
And is setting career highs/bests in:
-
3pt percentage (42.8%)
-
FT percentage (85.9%)
-
Offensive, defensive and total rebounds per game (1.4/4.6/6.0)
-
Turnovers per game (career low 1.9 TPG)
-
Personal fouls per game (career low 1.6 PF)
-
Defensive BPM (0.9, tied with 2011-2012)
-
Blocks per 36 (tied with 3 other seasons)
-
+ a few more similar stats (reb%, rebs/100, blks/100, etc.)
Having a very underrated season IMO!

Just want to put out there that I’m am NBA noob. I knew nothing about the NBA until June when I bought 2K23, learned a bunch of the players by playing it, and then I’ve been following the league more closely this season.
Doc Rivers just got hired by the Bucks, which is the 5th different team he’s been head coach of. A quick google search tells me that the record holder is Larry Brown, who served as head coach of 9 different teams. In the NFL, it’s basically unheard of for a guy to get more than 2 chances as a head coach, three if he’s lucky. Obviously Larry Brown’s 9 is an anomaly, but how common is it for a guy to serve as head coach of 3-5 different teams?
I’ve been keeping close track of the head coaches in my 2K league and the record so far is a tie between Nick Nurse, Stephen Silas, and Chauncey Billups, who have each coached 6 different teams. But I have a bunch of guys who have coached 3-5 different teams. Is that realistic?
