It’s almost hard to believe, but at one point in basketball history players could block or prevent any shot from going into the basket no matter where the ball was on its way to the hoop. A player attempting a 15-foot jump shot could have what looked like a score swatted away at the last …
Watching a basketball game can lead to seeing a lot of different plays. While different teams have different offensive styles, there are two plays that you’re going to see no matter the team you’re watching. The pick and roll and the iso.

It’s no secret that NBA player salaries are impressive. In fact, they’re among the highest-paid professional athletes on the planet.

When you take into consideration that California alone has four teams (more than any other state), there’s even less to go around.
