These two buddies are leading the league in two categories. Can you guess which ones?
The NBA season may only be less than three weeks old, but here are some interesting facts and statistics so far that you might not have heard:
John Wall (5.8) Steve Nash (4.9), Kevin Durant (4.7), Derrick Rose (4.5), LeBron James (4.4), Amare Stoudemire (4.3), Rajon Rondo (4.0), Deron Williams (4.0): Top eight players in the NBA in turnovers per game.
DeMarcus Cousins (4.8): The only player who dares to challenge Dwight Howard (4.2) in fouls per game.
6 for 38 (15.8%): Eric Gordon’s three point success (and I use that term loosely) through 7 games.
118: dimes handed out by Rajon Rondo already (second place is Andre Miller with 70).
0-3: Portland’s record against above-.500 teams
1-3: Miami’s record against above-.500 teams
Pau Gasol, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, and John Wall: The only six players to notch a triple-double as of yet.
38.6%: FG percentage of the Minnesota Timberwolves, worst in the league (second worst is Milwaukee at 41.3%)
And my favorite:
$425,000: The amount of fines the NBA has handed out already this season for “public comments” and “verbal abuse”.
And all this after only a couple weeks. Imagine what can happen the rest of the season.
