Hi guys, I'm having a debate with a friend. Need some opinions on who's more iconic.

Kobe vs Curry.

As a person who was able witness Kobe in LA at his peak, I was enamored by the plays he made. Obviously it was a big trend for us to throw things screaming Kobe making it a household name. Whilst he isn't the front liner for the goat debate, I still feel that regarding the realm of iconic, Kobe is one of the most iconic players that the game has seen.

On the other hand, my friend is stating that Curry has deeply changed the game itself. He feels that even those who doesn't watch the game know about Curry's signature 3-point shot and has enough accolades to be seen more iconic then Kobe. He also states how he believes that with the rise of Curry, global fans were able to tune in and began watching more NBA.

Please let us know your opinions.

I will get a lot of hate from this but Harden exploited the rules to the point that the NBA changed rules

Harden got a lot of hate after his statement but he has a point. I mean he exploited the rules so much that he drops 50pts with more than half of it FTs. He also exploited the rule where he takes extra steps but technically isn't travel because of the zero step.

Realistically, where does Wemby currently sit for Spurs players all time?

Wemby is obviously a rookie so he shouldn’t be that high but nevertheless where would you put Wemby as of right now for all spurs players?

He’s already shown he’s on the track for greatness but it’s way too early to oversell his potential accolades and acclaim.

So based on what we’ve seen in his first season and Olympic debut, where is Victor currently sitting in all spurs players?

Synergy Is No Longer Offering Player Tracking Stats

I wanted to get Synergy stats for the NBA this season.

I went to this link to buy it, but its an error page: https://shop.synergysports.com/collections/consumer-products/products/stats-deep-dives

I emailed them to make sure I wasn't at the wrong link and they said:

"Unfortunately, the deep dives products is no longer available. The last day Deep Dives will be available to those who still have a current subscription will be October 23rd. Kind regards"

Somebody please explain the apron calculations to me…

I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to figure out how the first apron calculation works. Take the Pacers for example. Their current cap hit is $169,140,245. Their apron calculation is $172,874,000. I’m trying to figure out where the extra ~$3.7M came from. I can’t find anything to explain exactly where that amount is coming from. One source said it’s player incentives but that only accounts for ~$2M for the Pacers, even when combining likely and unlikely incentives. What am I missing?
