Jay WilliamsDuke runs a guard-dominated offense because Coach K loves having the ball in guards' hands
Duke is a dominated guard offense. It's naturally what it is. K loves for the ball to be in the hands of guards. You see that with Luke Kennard, Grayson Allen, guards from the past as well... it's never been a staple of Duke to throw the ball down low and the big guy's going to get you 25 and 10. That's never been who they've been offensively.

PFT CommenterRugby is already huge in America
I'm going to take you one step further and say rugby is already huge in America. This was the, yeah, we're here. Get used to it.
Big CatMusic and atmosphere in NBA arenas directly affects player rhythm and pace
It was like the sloppiest game ever, and that's not just because the Knicks are always sloppy, but it was like no one could get a rhythm... Then they put the music on in the second half, and the pace picked right up, and they almost hit the over... So it was clear that the music did actually affect the players.
PFT CommenterBasketball is a 'candy-ass sport' because players require music and atmosphere to find a rhythm
See, this is why basketball is like a candy-ass sport. You need all these little distractions and stuff because there's so many breaks in the action. It's not like a nonstop thrill ride like the NFL is where you don't need any commercials or music playing or replays or anything like that.

View profileJay WilliamsI could still average 10 points and 5 assists in the NBA right now
I still play with pros all the time. There's moments where you watch guys who just got paid $60, $70, $80 million for having marginal numbers where I'm not going to sit there and tell you, I feel like I can get nine or ten points a game in the league. I feel like I can get four or five assists in a game.
Jay WilliamsI have the best basketball game out of any talent currently working at ESPN (excluding former NBA players)
Who's got the best game out in Bristol? I would have to say me. [Besides people who played in the league.] Well, see, here's the thing. You don't see a lot of talent play in some of the games.
Jay WilliamsCollege athletes should be allowed to 'wet the beak' and get a cut of revenue when their names are on jerseys
I like seeing somebody naturally stick it each and every time to the NCAA when they can. Because the NCAA... they make $900 million at a minimum each and every year just off the TV rights to the tournament alone. That's worth having a conversation about. Let the kids wet the beak. Just a little bit. If I see my name on the back of a jersey multiple times in an arena that I'm playing at, just let me get a little bit of a taste of that.
