kobe was a barometer for their offensive health bc his job was eating broken possessions when the triangle/shaq actions didnโt work; so in the 04 Finals, 34% of his shots were end of clock/ grenade range: essentially ecosystem failure showing up as his FG%

01 kobeโs playoff iso possessions: not a lot of probing or mismatch-hunting for clean opportunities / mostly late-clock stuff against the best perimeter defender, while navigating set defenses and packed paints

edwardsโ patience and tempoโliterally jogging to the rimโis very 2000s same process as kobe/nash/etc: less built-in spacing advantages and not dealing with crowd by foul hunting, conditions to operate at a slower pace to see the help and work around it

he actually reminds me of early paul george and djokovic as defendersโฆ but just flipped to offense chaining all these long, elastic micro-movements while staying balancedโฆ pgโs constantly mirroring on defense, shaiโs making it impossible to mirror him on offense

nash and kobe are always jogging into the paint, playing with a bounce that makes it hard to read them not a ton of hard cuts or violent decelsโmore looping angles, selective explosions; less of a race/sprint, more dance, everything centered around always being ready to counter

Cutups of Mahomes creating in 2023. - 1st in a drops (34) and off. holding (30), 27th in Rush SR%, etc. yet still remained top 5-10 in a lot of important metrics. - Being 2nd best in PS2% and 5th best in TWP% despite being in creation mode a lot helped establish a good floor.
