Why SGA Isn't a Natural Passer But Still Scores 30 Every Night

SGA isn't a natural facilitator, but he's going to go down as one of the top scorers of all time. He'll get his 30 no matter what - even without drawing 20 free throws a game.⁣

The foul-drawing criticism is overblown. The advanced numbers show plenty of guys take more free throws per shot attempt than he does. Plus, pump-faking a defender into the air and drawing contact has been a foundational basketball move since 1960.⁣

People act like this is some new phenomenon, but it's not. The rage is mostly internet noise from fans who don't understand the history of the game.
