  • Summary

  • I’m a fan of Neil Paine’s data driven sports Substack and you should be too. Neil’s got a gift for finding sports mysteries and probing deeper. This conversation went so many places and I could have kept it going hours longer but for the hard out.

    Topics include but aren’t limited to…

    * The data driven case for Caitlin Clark getting left off Team USA

    * If Clark’s teammates are consistently dropping the passes, are the turnovers her fault?

    * Differences between the WNBA and NBA

    * Was Tim Duncan underrated?

    * Should NFL player stats be more respected by NFL analysts?

    * A sneaky reason for why Tom Brady is the GOAT

    * Will announcer Brady teach us about his greatness?

    * Why can’t teams beat the NFL Draft?

    * Do we actually know beforehand when an NBA Draft is a “weak draft”?

    * Does MLB showing us “catch probability” undermine our enjoyment?

    * Why can’t Canadian teams win a Stanley Cup?

    * Are some great players actually chokers?
