After watching the pacers this season so far, they seem to have crazy cardio and running ability. This makes for a good offense in our case but I was curious from you all… what are the best track and field teams in the NBA?
Like now or all-time?
The SSOL Suns revolutionized pace and 3 point shooting almost 20 years ago, they would routinely run other teams off the court. It’s also funny to think that those mid-00’s Suns teams would be bottom third in today’s NBA for pace and middle of the road for 3pointers made.
Giannis would be king of the long jump.
Who is the Tyreek Hill of the NBA?
Raptors are up there I think in fastbreak points
Tony Snell
King of the 0/0/0/0/0 stat line
All he does is cardio out there.
The entire Detroit Pistons
Pascal Siakam never gets tired
Fox is the anchor
The heat checks in with some of the highest amount of miles ran. So maybe long distance running.
LeBron or Stevan Adams for shot put
Last season Bam was top 5 in distance traveled throughout the year. And when Duncan gets minutes, that boy is constantly running everywhere all over the court. I’d start a track and field team w them
Jokic does not get tired
This is a throwback pick, but certainly for his contemporaries, Rip Hamilton was unquestionably the best cardio-conditioned athlete in basketball. Dude was a shooting guard that only ever shot 2s, and did it by being in motion the entire game. Kind of like Curry now, but had the ball a bit less.
