See here is the thing about Moreyball. It depends on 3 > 2. Sounds good right? But what Morey is not realizing is that 2+2 > 3 Look at the box...
I know fans here love Harden as he is a Rocket. But let's be objective here. If Harden was on any other team with his foul baiting ways, fans here...
If Harden is so dependent on getting to the FT line to have a good game, then he will never be a great player. And all opponents will simply...
What has happened is that he shoots his shots to draw fouls rather than actually trying to shoot it to get it into the basket.
All players do it but Harden might be the only player who tries to make foul baiting an essential part of his game. And when the opponent is...

A team of 5 Giannis would get beatened more times than not by 5 Lebrons I would think. Giannis doesn't have enough shooting skills so the Lebrons...
It wasn't a team of Iversons vs a top-NBA team. It was a team of all Iversons vs all Shaqs. In that thread people claimed that Iversons would get...
Just like the 5 Shaqs vs 5 Iversons, I thought it would just be a fun thought experiment. Not sure if serious but a team of only Steph Currys...
There would be no need for GMs since there is no decisions to be made for personnel. There would however be 5-12 de-facto head coaches.
