NBA - Main

We don’t need constant PhD level analysis of every defensive scheme (although I’d love that somewhere) but it’s the league’s job to educate fans on the basics of the game. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a game where an announcer actually explained what a pick and roll is, or why a team would go zone vs man. What is help defense? What does it mean to fight over/under a screen or to switch everything? Laying the seeds for more nuanced conversation about the game will only draw more fans in, improve the overall discourse, and then people who want to learn more can always go find more advanced stuff.
