Random Basketball Stat of the Day
As I noted previously, I've been getting into analyzing NBA stats recently, which seems all the rage these days. Anywho, here's a random fun stat for the day:
Guards and forwards are both more than five times as likely to have a season with more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. The only centers to have more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds in a season were (when considering only players who played 41 games or more):
- Chris Dudley (1987)
- Ed Horton (1989)
- Stacey King (1992)
- Scott Lloyd (1978)
- Granville Waiters (1985)
(Keep in mind that rebound stats weren't divided into offensive and defensive stats until the 1973 season.)
A few weeks ago I also added a new feature to the NBAWebLog.com homepage - statcenter's Twitter feed. statcenter routinely posts various NBA stats via his (her?) Twitter feed, which then gets displayed on this site's homepage.
