NBA & Records:

Pro Basketball's Greatest Rebounding Guards

-Bob Cousy è stata la prima guardia a riuscirci, con un career-high di  6.9 rpg da rookie dei Boston Celtics nel 1950-51, e mantenendo almeno 6 rimbalzi di media in 4 delle successive 5 stagioni. In quel periodo i Celtics erano na delle migliori macchine da canestro dela lega,ma la loro mancanza di difesa non gli ortava mai lontani ai PO.
Non sorprende che le stagioni di Bob da almeno 6 rpg finirono con l'arrivo di Bill Russell!! Cousy non riuscì mai a mantenere una media superiore ai 5.5 rpg nelle stagioni dopo l'arrivo di Russell, ma Boston vinse l'anello in 6 delle 7 stagioni in cui i due furono compagni. Cousy finì la carriera con 4786 rebounds (5.2 rpg), impressionanti per una guardia di appena  6-1 piedi e 175 pound!!

- Tom Gola aveva giocato in guardia al College, dove tutt'ora è un NCAA Division I career leader per rimbalzi totali (2201). Nella NBA la versatilità di Gola lo fecero spedire nel backcourt andando a mantenere una media di almeno 6 rpg in 8 stagioni (1956; 1958-64). Nella stagione 1958-59 averaged un career-high  di 11.1 rpg e divenne la prima guardia a finire nella top ten NBA nei rimbalzi!! I 6-6 piedi di Gola giocarono in 5 All-Star games e fu membro del 1956 NBA Champion Philadelphia Warriors. Finì la carriera con una media totale di 8.0 rpg, ovviamente la più alta per una guardia!

- Richie Guerin averaged 6 o pià rpg per 5 stagioni consecutive (1958-62),partendo dalla sua seconda stagione. Nella stagione 1960-61 registrò un career high di 7.9 rpg. La stagione successiva il 6-4 piedi Guerin averaged il suo career bests in punti (29.5 ppg) e assists (6.9 apg) e la sua ultima stagione da almeno 6 rimbalzi (6.4 rpg). Finì la carriera con 5.0 rpg.

- Oscar Robertson: nella stagione 1961-62 divenne l'unico giocatore a totalizzare una tripla doppia di media (30.8 ppg, 12.5 rpg and 11.4 apg). Arrivando 1° nella Lega in assists, 3° in punti ed 8° in rimbalzi. I suoi 12.5 rpg di quella stagione sono facilmente la migliore media rimbalzi per una Guardia. Robertson tenne una tripla doppia di media pe le prime sue 5 stagioni (30.3 ppg, 10.6 apg and 10.4 rpg). Mantenne almeno 6 rimbalzi di media in ciascuna delle sue 10 stagioni (1961-70) con i Cincinnati Royals prima di finire la sua carriera con i Milwaukee Bucks, ed andando a vincere il suo unico titolo. I 7804 Robertson sono ovviamente iln° più alto di rb catturati da una guardia dopo Kidd, e la sua media di 7.5 rpg in carriera si posiziona dietro solo a Gola.

- Jerry West entrò nella lega con Robertson nella stagione 1960-61 mantenne una media di almeno 6 rpg in ciascuna delle sue prime 6 stagioni nella lega. Come Robertson, postò la sua miglioe stagione in rb nel 1961-62 (7.9 rpg) e si confrontò anche con i 30.8 ppg di Robertson quella stagione (West giocò 4 partite in meno di Oscar ed arrivò 5° in punti quell'anno: classifica ancora determinata in base ai Totals). I 6-2 piedi e 185 pound di West più piccolo di Gola, Guerin eRobertson concluse comunque la sua carriera con 5376 rebounds (5.8 rpg).

- Jerry Sloan mantenne una media di almeno 6 rimbalzi a partita per ben 9 stagioni consecutiva dopo il suo anno da rookie guadagnandosi la reputazione come una delle più forti guardie difensive di sempre. I suoi 7.4 rpg career average si piazzano giusto 3° dopo Gola e Robertson. Sloan (6-5, 200 pounds) ebbe la sua media stagione più alta di 9.1 rpg nel 1966-67 e mantenne una media di almeno 8 rpg in altre due stagioni.

- Walt Frazier averaged 4.2 rpg nel 1967-68 come rookie dei New York Knicks prima di collezionare 8 stagioni consecutive con almeno 6 rimbalzi nei successivi anni con un picco di 7.3 rpg nel 1973 championship season. Frazier mantenne una media di 5.9 in carriera.

- Magic Johnson mantenne una tripla doppia di media nella stagione 1981-82, il suo terzo anno nella lega; con 18.6 ppg, arrivando 2° nella lega in assist con 9.5 apg e facendo il suo career high di 9.6 rpg. Nei suoi 12 anni di carriera mantenne almeno 6 rpg per ben 10 volte; nella stagione 1980-81 mantenne una media di 8.6 rpg in 37 partite e nella stagione 1985-86 ebbe una media di 5.9 rpg.Nel suo breve comeback Magic mantenne una media di 5.7 in 32 della stagione 1995-96; finendo la carriera con 6559 rebounds, il terzo più alto totale per una guardia, e finendo 4° come media, 7.2 rpg.

- Clyde Drexler ha mantenuto una media di almeno 6 rb in stagione per ben 11 volte in 15 anni di carriera. Fallendo la qualificazione il suo anno da rookie (2.9 rpg in 1983-84), il suo terzo anno (5.6 rpg) ed il suo ultimo anno (4.9 rpg); nella stagione 1992-93 tenne una media di 6.3 rpg ma giocando in soli 49 games per via di infortunio.La media migliore tenuta da Drexler è di 7.9 rpg (1988-89) ed avendo solo un'altra stagione da almeno 7 rb. Drexler ha totalizzato 6687 rebounds (6.1 rpg) in carriera.

- Michael Jordan entrato un anno dopo Drexler e postando simili numeri in carriera 6175 rebounds (6.2 rpg). Jordan ha mantenuto una media da almeno 6 rb in 7 stagioni con una cima di 8.0 rpg nella stagione 1988-89, stagione dove postò il suo record in media per gli assist con 8.0 assists e vinse il suo terzo titolo marcatori a 32.5 ppg.

-Jason Kidd ha mantenuto una media di almeno 6 rb in 6 delle sue prime 8 stagioni, con un career high di 8.2rpg nella stagione 2006-07 ed un record di ben 13 volte! In carriera mantiene una media di 6.6 rpg ed un totale di 7853 rimbalzi primo nella lita fra le guardie!!

- Altri: la migliore guardi in questo fondamentale nell'ABA fu sicuramente Warren Jabali: mantenne una media di almeno 6rbg a stagione 3 volte con un record di 10.4 rpg nel 1969-70 per i Washington Capitols, stagione che concluse anche con 22.8 ppg e 4.3 apg. In Carriera Jabali averaged 6.7 rpg in 7 anni!!

Lafayette "Fat" Lever dei Denver Nuggets averaged 6-plus rpg per 4 stagioni consecutive (1987-90) nonostante fosse solo 6-3, 180 pounds, e prendendo incredibilmente almeno 8.0 rpg, record personale, in ciascuno di questa stagioni!! incluso un career-high di 9.3 rpg nel 1989-90 (conditi di 18.3 ppg e 6.5 apg ). La stagione successiva, ai Dallas Mavericks, ebbe un grave incidente al ginocchio dopo solo 4 partite; non fu più lo stesso. Finì la carriera con 6.0 rpg.

Tra gli altri: Michael Ray Richardson, T.R. Dunn, Darrell Walker e Alvin Robertson. George Gervin ci è riuscito due volte: una da SF ed una da G. Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady , KB ed altri..

NBA Quotes & Anecdotes

SurPASSed: These Playmakers Narrowly Missed Winning the Assists Crown


I titoli di Marcatore e di Rimbalzista hanno il loro fato letteralmente nelle proprie mani, ma per il playmakers non è tutta farina del proprio sacco..possono arrivare fino ad un certo punto, il resto lo devono fare i compagni a cui destinano il passaggio fortunato. 2 NBA assists championships sono stati decisi per un solo assist!

La prima di queste incredibili corse avvenne nella stagione 1947-48 nella Basketball Association of America (BAA), fondatrice della NBA ( le ultime tre stagioni della BAA dal 1946-47 al1948-49, sono considerate le prime tre stagioni della NBA). Howie Dallmar dei Philadelphia Warriors prevalse su Ernie Calverley di Providence Steamrollers per 120-119 in a 48-game season. Nella stagione 1965-66 Oscar Robertson dei  Cincinnati Royals la spuntò invece su di Guy Rodgers dei San Francisco Warriors per 847-846!    NB:Entrambe le corse somno avvenute nel periodo in cui la NBA conteggiava le statistiche per Totals, ovvero fino alla stagione1969-70.

- Guy Rodgers finì secondo nella scalssifaca degli assist a Robertson per ben 5 volte, e fu anche battuto da  Cousy. Nella stagione 1960-61 Robertson vince di appena 13 assist su Rodgers! Rodgers riesce comunque a vincere ben 2 assist title, il secondo nella stagione 1966-67 quando fece un record di lega con ben 908 assists con i Chicago Bulls. Rodgers si piazzò o primo o secondo nella classifica degli assist dalla stagione 1959-60 alla stagione 1966-67 ritirandosi con ben  6917 assists! Il career high di assist in una singola partita di Rodgers è di ben 28 assists il 14 Marzo del 1963 record condiviso con Cousy, che è resistito fino al 1978.

- Andy Phillip è arrivato secondo per ben 4 volte, per ultime nel 1952-53 e 1953-54, quando Cousy reclamò i suoi primi due titoli di assit leader! Phillip vinse i suoi due titoli di assist leader nelle due stagioni precedenti. Prima di queste era arrivato secondo a Bob Davies dei Rochester Royals di soli due assist nel 1948-49; e a Dick McGuire dei New York Knicks di soli 9 assist nel 1949-50.

- McGuire, come Philip, è arrivato secondo nella cora al titolo di miglior assistman ben 4 volte inclusa la stagione 1957-58 quando Cousy lo beffò per soli 9 assist.Perse altre due corone degli assist per un margine di appena 14 e 15 assist (1950-51 e 1954-55 rispettivamente).

- Lenny Wilkens, vinse il suo unico titolo come re degli assist nel 1969-70; ma una volta ritirato solamente Robertson aveva spedito più assist in carriera. Wilkens è arrivato secondo per ben 5 volte e la sconfitta con il minor margine fu quella della stagione 1967-68 quando fu battuto..da Wilt Chamberlain dei Philadelphia 76ers per soli 23 assist 23. Nella stagione 1971-72 invece piazza la seconda sconfitta AT per minor margine da quando gli assist sono conteggiati per pg: .12630 apg meno rispetto a Jerry West dei Los Angeles Lakers. Wilkens finì dietro ad un giocatore diverso in ciascuna delle sue 5 volte che arrivò secondo; è finito dietro all'unico centro ad aver mai vinto un titolo di assist-leader;  ed al solo giocatore ad aver condotto la lega in punti ed assist nello stesso anno: Nate Archibald nella stagione 1972-73 con 34.0 ppg e 11.4.

- Nate Archibald oltre al titolo del 1973 è arrivato per ben due volte secondo: una volta superato da Donald "Slick" Watts dei Seattle Supersonics di appena  .17636 apg nel 1975-76.
Nella stagione successiva Kevin Porter dei Washington Bullets vinse di appena .30317 apg su Dave Bing dei Detroit Pistons.

- Magic Johnson si ritirò come l'all-time assists leader vincendo ben 4 corone degli assist ed arrivando secondo per ben 6 volte!..incluso un record di ben 4 volte consecutive dal 1987-88 al 1990-91, ogni volta superato da John Stockton. Nella stagione 1981-82 Johnson perse contro  Johnny Moore deiSan Antonio Spurs per appena .11993 apg, il più piccolo margine di vittoria da quando gli assist sono misurati per average.

Altri:  Maurice Cheeks con bel  7392 assists è nella top10 all-time per assist totals ma il suo migliore piazzamento è come terzo posto nella stagioen 1981-82.

- Isiah Thomas nei primi 5 della lega come assist totals ed averange, vinse solamente un assist title nel 1985-86 con ben 13.9 apg terzo miglior averangfe della storia. Thomas è arrivato secondo nel 1983-84 e 1985-86.

- John Stockton è arrivato secondo solo due volte a fronte di ben 9 titoli dal 1987-88 al 1995-96, compreso un record di 14.5 apg nel 1989-90.

- Chuck Williams è l'unico giocatore ABA ad arrivare secondo per più di una volta...come giocatore dei San Diego Conquistadors nel 1972-73 perse la corsa al titolo di assist vinta con il minor margine della storia ABA (e la sesta nella storia del pro basketball) di appena .41418 apg contro Bill Melchionni, che vinse ben due (2) titoli assist in ABA. Nel 1974-75 Mack Calvin dei Denver Nuggets sconfisse Williams per soli .59159 apg.

NB: (1)Molte fonti inclusa la 1974-75 Official ABA Guide pongono Chuck Williams come assist runner-up per la stagione 1973-74, anche se Warren Jabali produsse un più alto averanging ed aveva un numero di assist sufficit per essere conteggiato. Jabali infatti fu etromesso dai Denver Rocketsa metà della stagione 1973-74 dopo problemi con Coach Alex Hannum. Apparentemente l'ABA scelse di non conteggiarlo in quanto non era un giocatore attivo..una strana situazione..unica nella storia del basketball pro. Come riporta Terry Pluto in Loose Balls, Jabali stava giusto conducendo l'ABA in assists quando i Rockets o tagliarono; Al Smith guardia dei Rockets finì quella stagione con  8.1 apg average, .8386 apgmeglio di Jabali e ben 2 punti meglio di Williams.

(2)Altro fatto interessante è la stagione 1972-73: Bill Melchionni ha infatti un numero più altodi apg e dovrebbe avere un numero sufficit per essere conteggiato.. ma in molti siti il titolo iene dato a Williams.. in caso contrario Melchionni avrebbe vinto ben 3 titoli come miglior assistman.

- Larry Brown vinse i primi tre titoli come assist della ABA. Il primo e terzo furono vinti con un ampio margine, ma il secondo lo vinse per soli .64186 apg su Don Freeman dei Miami Floridians.4 delle 9 corse con il minor margine di vittorieper averanging sono avvenute nell'ABA;  nella stagione 1971-72  Melchionni sconfisse Lehmann George dei Memphis Pros per .60778 apg. Don Buse è l'unico giocatore ad aver vinto un titoloo di assist leader sia in ABA che in NBA e lo fece in due stagioni consecutive, in ABA nel 1975-76 ed in NBA nel 1976-77, enrambe come membro degli Indiana Pacers.
NB: Buse condusse le due leghe anche nelle steals negli stessi due anni.

NBA Records:

Solamente 5 giocatori nella storia del gioco hanno messo assieme almeno 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds e 4,000 assists in carriera: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley e Kevin Garnett.

Ps: Bill Russell, avrebbe i numeri sia in Rebounds che in Assists...ma non in punti.

Dopo il trasferimento ai Sixers colleziona partite da 30, 29, 37 (with 32 rebounds), 34 and 37 (with 28 rebounds) contro Reed. Da quello che ho potuto constatare Reed outscored Chamberlain (35 to 29) una volta e outrebounded sempre una volta (19 to 18) in 9 incontri.

Unseld giocò tutte e 82 le partite nelle stagioni 68-69 e 69-70. Wilt registrò un massimo di 38 punti contro i Bullets nella stagione 69-70, e registrò ben 38 rebound contro Unseld nella stagione 68-69 season, e diverse partite da almeno 20 pt.

Bill Russell Vs Wilt Chamberlain:

Jerimiah Tax recounts there first battle in 1959:

The personal duel in American professional team sports is largely a thing of the past. This is true because athletes have learned that victory most often follows the subordination of individual talent to a cooperative effort. In basketball, a highly fluid game in which players constantly exchange assignments, it is perhaps truest of all. And yet, occasionally, two players appear whose skills are so similar and on whom their teammates count so greatly that a meeting of the teams becomes the occasion for a man-to-man battle.

Two such are the Boston Celtics' Bill Russell and the Philadelphia Warriors' Wilt Chamberlain, whose teams met last Saturday night in the Boston Garden before a tense, chattering crowd in a game that commanded the interest of basketball buffs all over the nation.

Russell is a lithe, graceful athlete who stands a shade under 6 feet 10 inches tall and moves with the ease of a man a foot shorter. He has been a professional for three years now, after leading the University of San Francisco to two national collegiate titles, the U.S. to victory in the Olympic Games in Melbourne and the Celtics to two world championships. On the Celtics, surrounded by many of the finest shooters ( Bill Sharman, Tom Heinsohn, Frank Ramsey) and playmakers ( Bob Cousy, Sam Jones, K.C. Jones) in basketball, he has two chief functions: first, to harass the opposition by blocking their shots and intimidating them by his presence when they think of shooting, and, second, to capture rebounds off the backboards to start Boston's fast-breaking attack. He has filled this difficult role so well since his arrival that Boston has become the best team ever assembled.

Chamberlain, slender of leg and thigh but powerfully muscled in arms and shoulders, is about three inches taller than Russell. After three highly successful years of basketball at Kansas University, he became impatient to capitalize on his deserved reputation and quit school for an extremely lucrative season with the Harlem Globetrotters. This is his first year with the Warriors, where his is an even more demanding assignment than Russell's. Aside from the fine shooting of Paul Arizin and the excellent playmaking of Guy Rodgers, the Warriors cannot support him in the style to which Russell is accustomed. If Philadelphia is to beat the better teams in the pro league, he must do both of Russell's jobs, on defense and rebounding, and also score a great many points himself. In the first few games of the season, against other teams, he did just that, and Philadelphia won. And as the hour approached for the game with Boston there were experts who were certain he would also score enough points against Russell to turn the trick again.

The experts were wrong. What the duel proved, chiefly, is that against Russell, Chamberlain cannot get away with the few simple offensive moves he has found so effective against lesser men. Every time he tried to use his chief weapon, a fall-away jump shot, Russell went up with him; Russell's large hand flicked away at his vision, slapped at the ball, once blocked it outright—a shocking experience for Wilt Chamberlain. All told, in this man-to-man situation Chamberlain hit exactly four baskets; the rest of his 30 points were made on tip-ins and a few dunk shots, in which, free of Russell, he stuffed the ball into the basket from above it. He took 38 shots, twice as many as Russell and more than anyone else on both teams. In the second half, obviously driven to extreme measures by Russell's tenacity, he tried more hook shots than he had in all his previous games—which is just what Russell wanted him to do because the hook is a difficult and unnatural maneuver. Chamberlain scorned it through his college days and has rarely practiced it since, on the theory that he hasn't needed it. Against Russell, clearly, he needs it. But he threw it with his wrist instead of a straight arm, and from a flat-footed stance. Not one went in. On rebounds he was repeatedly kept out of position by Russell and Tom Heinsohn, and only his height and jumping ability won him 28 to Russell's 35.


Nb: Nell'incontro immediatamente successivo però Chamberlain CRUSHED Russell, outscoring him 45-15, and outrebounding him 35-13.

- 1960 Game 3 vs. Nationals (al meglio delle 3): 53 points. W

- 1962 Game 5 vs. Nationals:(al meglio delle 5) 56 points, 35 rebounds. W

Ai PO nel 67 fu disumano..alcuni Game:

..

- 1968 Game 6 vs. Knicks: 25 points, 27 rebounds. Game che chiuse la serie. Wilt condusse tutte e due le squadre in pt,rb,e as per tutta la serie.


Ps: posto quì un paio di quotes interessanti:

'"How many layups do you think there were in the last Laker game? Forty-eight. People will tell you guys shoot better now. No doubt they shoot a little better, but not like you'd think from looking at the percentages. Mike Cooper is shooting 59 percent. You want to bet some money he'd outshoot Jerry West? I'll bet my house against him (Cooper) on Dolph Schayes. I'll take Larry Costello and give you any Laker with the exception of Wilkes.

Players just get to the basket (layups) more. It ups their percentage. There's no defense inside. When I played, if the other team ran a fast break two or three times, the coach would assign a forward to break back on defense as soon as the ball went up. I never see a coach doing that now. There were no uncontested layups.

My last two or three years I shot 69 to 73 percent. You think I was a better shooter? No, the defenses got worse and I was able to dunk every damn ball I wanted to. It was easier to get there. When I played against guys like Johnny Kerr . . . He was 6-10 and couldn't jump, but I'll tell you, you didn't get to the basket on him."'

-1982



"It's a run up and down the court and dunk the ball game now. These are speed merchants and jumping fools. That's why their shooting percentages are going way up. I led the league 11 times in field goal percentage and my lifetime average was 54%. There are now five billion guys shooting over 54%. Can you imagine playing when your hands are so cold and the ball is as hard as a brick? I can remember going to Detroit and playing the old Detroit Arena and there's about 3000 people in this big old huge thing. Every time they opened the door, the wind blows through. I can vividly remember Paul Arizin blowing into his hands and the smoke was blowing out of his nose. Guys were shooting 37%, and these were great shooters. People look at that any say, 'Is that a basketball player or was he on a blind team?' They don't know how to put that into perspective."

-1985

Wilt Chamberlain.

..Diversi anni dopo il suo ritiro, accarezzò l'idea di tornare a giocare.
Andò a trovare Holzman nei suoi uffici, poi uscì che aveva cambiato idea. Chamberlain era molto volubile. Niente ritorno.
Davanti all'ascensore trovò due ragazzi alle prese con un carrello colmo di scatole di materiale per ufficio, per lo più carta intestata e buste. L'ascensore, a causa del carico molto pesante, si era bloccato quattro pollici sotto il livello del pavimento e i due ragazzi non riscivano a sollevarlo per fargli fare il gradino. Dopo un po' di tentativi chiesero a Chamberlain, fermo lì davanti, una mano. Wilt sorrise e disse che sarebbe stato meglio se avesse fatto da solo. Afferrò ciascuna estremità della corda appesa sotto il carrello e senza fatica lo sollevò, lo tirò fuori dall'ascensore e lo posò sul pavimento.
Wilt entrò in ascensore e se ne andò, ad assistere alla scena c'erano alcuni giornalisti dei Knicks che chiesero ai due ragazzi quanto pesasse quel carrello. La risposta fu: "Più di 600 libbre!". Stiamo parlando di quasi 300 Chili.
Fonte: The Good Natured Giant Wasn't Belligerent.

E a proposito di Wilt e Walt.
Nel 1961, Bellamy era rookie, segnava 30 punti a partita. La prima votla che incontro chamberlain, i due si strinsero la mano.
Bellamy disse: "Salve Mr Chamberlain, sono Walter Bellamy e sono veramente orgoglioso di giocare contro di lei".
Chamberlain rispose: "Ciao Walter, mi duole dirti che nel primo tempo non realizzerai neanche un punto oggi".
Chamberlain stoppò i primi 9 tiri di Bellamy, poi gli disse: "Vabbè Walter, ora basta, puoi iniziare a giocare!".

Una volta durante una schiacciata si trovò Walt Bellamy che era salito in cielo per stopparlo (stiamo parlando di uno alto 2 metri e 11 e bello pesante). Fu una delle poche volte che Wilt non si trattenne. Lo travolse, Bellamy volò fuori dal campo. Chamberlain andò da lui per scusarsi e gli disse "Sorry, non so cosa mi abbia preso!". Non aveva fatto nulla di male, aveva semplicemente schiacciato su un avversario senza autoimporsi un freno.

Elvin Hayes, uno non proprio piccolino nè dal carattere facile, disse di lui: "Tutti eravamo spaventati all'idea di ptoerlo fare arrabbiare. When I played him, I kept this foremost in my mind: Above all, don't make him mad. Don't embarrass him. You wanted to keep him quiet as long as possible".
