NBA Usage

[Heim]

Only two players in NBA history have made it to the Finals top 5 in NBA usage percentage.

Harden (HOU) and Iverson.

The rest have never gone past the 2nd round.

It looks like Doncic another casualty. Embiid and Philly too. (He'll be back)

Harden never played in the NBA finals with Houston, he got there one time when he was coming off the bench in OKC

Right. Conference Finals were they (HOU) shot 1-30 from 3 point land v. GSW.

Still past 2nd round.

You get the point. When you're running everything through one player, eventually fatigue is a factor.

I was hoping Dallas pulled it off last night to get a fair price on PHO series price.

Usage rates were popularized in the early to mid-2000's by Dean Oliver and John Hollinger.

I'm guessing Rick Barry of the 1975 NBA champion Golden State Warriors would have had a sky-high usage rate.
