The Analysing of NBA 2K16 Golden State

The NBA 2K16 basic premise is simple. For each current NBA player, CARMELO identifies similar players throughout modern NBA history1 and uses their careers to forecast the current player’s future. The future Hall of Famer sat out the second half of L.A.'s Wednesday night loss to the Denver Nuggets because of that balky shoulder, raising red flags that he might be sidelined during this closing stretch of his career. After the game, however, Bryant was quick to shoot down any such consideration. Golden State’s brilliance is more than just statistical. The Warriors are a basketball idyll, a paradise of skill and collaboration.

Their NBA 2K16 offense runs on nifty ballhandling, willing passing, and NBA 2K16 sublime shooting, with their point guard and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player acting as ringleader. Entering a March contest against the Celtics last season, Steve Kerr had only experimented with the NBA 2K16 Golden State Warriors’ vaunted “Lineup of Death” a mere 76 minutes. “I saw it on film and thought, man if they go to this, that’ll be tough,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. The Warriors are a basketball idyll, a paradise of skill and collaboration in NBA 2K16.

Their offense runs on nifty ballhandling, willing passing, and sublime shooting, with their point guard and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player acting as ringleader. A slim 6’3” and 185 pounds, with a bouncy jog and a barely post-pubescent tuft of beard at his chin, Stephen Curry dribbles with the intentional abandon of a card hustler, flings one-handed passes to all sectors of the court, and shoots better than anyone ever has. We start with a few statistics related to his scoring and shooting ability. (For more precise definitions of these, see Basketball-Reference.com’s glossary page.)

Usage rate reflects what percentage of a NBA 2K16 team’s possessions were “used” by a player in the form of a shot, turnover or trip to the free-throw line. Because there are five NBA 2K16 players in a team’s lineup at one time, the average usage rate is 20 percent. A slim 6’3” and 185 pounds, with a bouncy jog and a barely post-pubescent tuft of beard at his chin, Stephen Curry dribbles with the intentional abandon of a card hustler, flings one-handed passes to all sectors of the court, and shoots better than anyone ever has.

According to NBA 2K16, for example, Washington Wizards point guard John Wall, through this point in his career, is similar to former NBA players Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, Steve Francis and Kenny Anderson. Kidd continued to improve as a player through his mid-to-late 20s, while Thomas had a long peak and led the Detroit Pistons to two championships. So those are favorable comps for Wall. Francis and Anderson are less favorable. So while Wall has the potential to develop into a superstar, he’s not a sure thing.

The NBA 2K16 Golden State Warriors are now some 15 months in to their turn as one of the best teams in basketball history. Last season, they won 67 games, the most in the NBA in eight years, and secured a championship in June against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This NBA 2K16 season’s Warriors make last season’s Warriors look like a team that hadn’t yet gotten loose. They started the year winning their first 24 games in a row, a record opening, and as of now have won 46 of 50.
