The alchemy of evolution: 10 experiments that make the NBA smile

AM850 scientists did 10 magnificent experiments, mixing NBA stars as ingredients … with sublime results.

---

Welcome, friends, to the NBA laboratory. Between formulas and test tubes, the alchemy of what was there, of what is there and what will come is gestated.

Surely you can mix that with that? And this other? Experiments, adventures and creativity. The evolution of basketball does not stop and it is time to discover it.

Before entering the laboratory, I ask you to use gloves, Barkhhil and apron. Ah, one more thing: each formula has specific percentages. And each of the experiments, today consecrated players, are made up of pieces of geniuses that preceded them.

Ready to enter then? It is here. Forward. We were waiting for them.

• 40% Magic Johnson

• 35% Larry Bird

• 25% Wilt Chamberlain

I must confess that of the last experiments carried out, this has been the one that has given us the most happiness.

We start with the showtime of Magic Johnson and its dynamics of the unthinkable. Assistance from behind, in front, with non-lok passes. Lacerating passes, unexplored angles. We add, then, the shot of Larry Bird And in the combo, we stayed with the speed of French Lick farmer. Already, at that time, it was too much. However, we felt the pressure when they told us that something was missing: height and statistics. That is why we add to Wilt the indestructible to the combo.

And we got a Nikola Jokicthe shadow genius for which we are all willing to pay a ticket to see it. Enjoy it. It is the best we could do for you.

• 40% Julius Erving

• 40% Jerry West

• 20% Tim Duncan

The best NBA player can fly every day under the radar. And that, I’m sorry to say it, may have been our responsibility. Or our great success.

Put Duncan In this formula? Yes, to reach the low profile and work to win. Okay, it was a decision, perhaps if we had put in his place Kevin Garnett It would have been pure histrionism. But it could also have exploded everything. The truth that at that 20% of Timmy d We put 40% of West To give it winning profile, serious, with a remote accurate shot. And the other 40% gave the size, takeoff and flight of the Dr J.

Tatumwith this logic, he already gave the Celtics a championship. And you can go for more. A lot more.

• 40% Magic Johnson

• 30% Julius Erving

• 30% Karl Malone

The king has anchor in three different times.

We went to the 70s shelf and took the elasticity of Dr. J.. Then we look at the 80s and take most of the creativity of Magic. And finally, in the 90s, we add the physicist of Malone. A super athlete with Magneto’s intelligence and Hulk’s strength. It caused us a little fear to see the final result: we put a crown nearby and we wait at a distance to see what happened.

We understood everything: we build one of the best players of all time, capable of playing multiple positions and staying in force until ages at which others of their caliber rest with a Daiquiri and a straw hat under a palm tree. Of course: if we had put Dennis Rodman and not Malone, maybe he would have won more than he won. Although it could also have ended in a neuropsychiatric. You never know.

• 15% Michael Jordan

• 85% Steve Nash

How heavy was the bottle with his majesty samples. The drops of sweat ran when transferring the sacred liquid.

With only small drops, we mix with Nash And we got the player of the moment. Of Jordanwe take a part of his perseverance, some of his determination and a little of his athletic abilities. Of Nashcustoms and the style of play: versatile scorer, of excellent movements and resources, with double as a flag.

The final result is more than acceptable: just like Jordan and Nash, Shai It can end up being NBA MVP. Little valued to absolute star. Nothing new under the sun when we mix this kind of reliable chemicals.

This may be, perhaps, the greatest experiment that we have once created.

We still do not know the scope, but what we try: a player with stylized arms and legs like Sampsonwith the reliable suspension shot of Durant and the potential force of Giannis. The first thing we get, the second is in progress and the third needs time. Neither, nor less than that.

They have said he is an alien. A unicorn. A single mold player. We see it as the evolution of all of the above. We just want the misfortune of health suffering is just a stone on the road. We believe, with enough reasons, that the best is yet to come.

• 30% Isiah Thomas

• 45% reggie Miller

• 25% Allen Iiverson

Perhaps here we exaggerate in the composition of the elements. We do not know well if it was something with the periodic table, but we believe that some tube must have been scattered, because we create something unique and irreproducible.

We assume that it was between Isiah Thomas, Reggie Miller and Allen Iiverson. But it is a secret formula, not by will, but by obligation: we do not know what we did, but it came out almost by chance. As several of the great inventions of humanity.

When we first saw it we took our heads: too skinny, it seemed fragile. But it ended up being infinite. The handling of the ball and the winning character of Thomas, Miller’s shot without the feet settled in the ground and the revulsive spirit of Iiverson. Mix, venture and pray. The best shooter in history came out. Welcome to the miracle.

• 60% Manu Ginobili

• 40% Dirk Nowitzki

We needed to do this experiment among rehearsal tubes: two of the best international players in the combined history. We spent years thinking about it until we find the right balance. Between roasts, tango and Bratwursst sausages, we find in Wagner The synthesis of two geniuses.

Franz attacks the ring as an XXL version of Manu. His shot is as dangerous as that of the Argentine. Of Dirkhe obtained three transcendental things: the right hand, nationality and height. But in the game, it is still more Ginobilibecause despite its size (2.08 meters), it moves in front of the hoop as a perimeter.

It is just starting in the league, but with more flight hours, we can be seeing a talent for big things. It is not enough to say it: you have to prove it.

---

• 60% Pau Gasol

• 40% Nikola Jokic

They seemed incongruous things, however we could achieve in the laboratory the Mix that made the difference.

Because we take the physicist of Gasolits stylized and fine game, and we mix it with the vision of Jokic. We reach like this, from Türkiye, a fair mix between Spanish crack and Serbian. Gasol needed a Kobe Bryant To harden in painting, to improve your DNA.

Sengun still looks for a partner who pushes him to enjoy more giant friction. Of course: it is on a very good way.

We wanted to improve Jokic; We were close, but it seems that we did not succeed. In real terms, and being honest, we still don’t know. We create a monster with the ball in our hands, capable of playing everyone, distributing fantasies and giving happiness to those who observe it. It is an Basketball Aleph born in Slovenia.

The theme is, without a doubt, in the third ingredient: Harden He brought the best, his dance at cruise speed to the hoop, but also the worst: the defense. And the attitude when things get up. Perhaps if we had thought of Kawhi Leonard, it would have been the perfect player, but everything cannot be in life. We know it in the laboratory and on the court.

In the balance, it is much more to have the one to. But things are not always as we want them to be: they are as they are.

• 35% Derek Fisher

• 65% Steve Nash

As with Shai, we used some of the tube of Nash. But this time we wanted, first, to place the leadership, height and left hand of Fisherformer historical base of the Lakers, who knew how to be president of the Association of NBA players.

That seriousness, Brunson He took it from there. The disruptive game, of frequent annotation and prominence in decisive moments, is typical of the former Canadian base, today Podcast companion of LeBron James. Brunsonto whom they let out, let’s know why Dallas Mavericks, He is today absolute leader in the Big Apple. Do not stay with sayings, progress with facts.

From his heart and talent the search for gold in these lands emerges: reaching a title that refuses since 1973.
