Resting in play is a feature. MJ was doing that all the time. The GOATs know when giving 110% is appropriate, and when 75% would suffice.

  "Intensity: Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that."

    Depends how you define 100%. e.g. over/under-clocking a CPU.
    • sbuk 8y ago
      In the sphere of human performance, 100% is all an individual can give. Redefining the scale is pointless. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven

        You can overclock a human also with drugs. Just not sustainably.

  I wish I could find a link that was just about the data and not Lebron’s reaction to it, but my interpretation of Lebron’s slowness is that he has the same skill. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/111166564 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/111166564

    The data is here: https://stats.nba.com/players/speed-distance/?sort=AVG_SPEED&dir=-1 https://stats.nba.com/players/speed-distance/?sort=AVG_SPEED... It's a fun read - you have there James, KD, Harden, AD - basically all the elite players excluding Curry. On top of that, you have factually very fast players s.a Wall, Russ and Lillard. I'll have to take James' view that this is one stupid meaningless stat.
