Realized I was ahead of the time growing up when I stacked my 2K franchises with athletic wings and 3 pt shooters. The trend of today's NBA. The Celtics and Warriors realized before other NBA teams that versatile wing defenders and 3 point shooters are the key to NBA success. In recent drafts, this is all the Celtics and Warriors have selected. Tatum and Brown for the Celtics have turned into great players. While the Warriors role players all consist of the same mold.
To understand NBA rules and specifically the salary cap better. I'm going to run NBA 2K simulations. Hopefully, this will be a fun way to learn about basketball analytics.
My first two franchises: NOP and LAL.
Another thing I learned over the long weekend: 2.47 million spiders per every human.

Spiders are insane. Spiders can balloon "two-and-a-half miles up in the air, and 1,000 miles out to sea."
