Battier has routinely guarded the league’s most dangerous offensive players — LeBron James, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce — and has usually managed to render them, if not entirely ineffectual, then a lot less effectual than they normally are. He has done it so quietly that no one really notices what exactly he is up to.

Hold on, I need a water break.
Okay, more reading.
More water.
More reading.
This is great stuff, but could it be any longer?
I still believe there is a statistical method that can be cracked for the NCAA Tournament. But, who has the time to follow 64, wait, 65 teams to catch that once-in-a-blue-moon George Mason?
This was a great read. I don't remember the last time I racked my brain so hard. I've never read "Moneyball," but I would assume it's similar.
Yeah, I forgot to mention the length. That was my entire lunch break on Tuesday. The writer of the article is the author of "Moneyball", so this article reads much like that book. Except, of course, the book is about two pages longer.
