NBA LIVE 09 - Dynamic DNA
By Marcus Stephenson What's up everyone,
I'm back with another breakdown of NBA LIVE 365's Dynamic DNA ONLY in NBA LIVE 09.
The topic for today has been one of the best stories in the NBA this year; young PG Devin Harris of the New Jersey Nets has blossomed into one of the premiere players in the NBA. He's the 6th leading scorer, and he's 4th in the league at getting to the free throw line. Do these numbers look off to you? I thought last season Harris was traded from Dallas to New Jersey because, although he was a good young player, he had questionable maturity. What a difference a year makes! Gone are the days of up and coming Devin Harris. Harris has arrived and it's clear when you look at his NBA LIVE 365 Dynamic DNA.
Above you see that when comparing the DNA strands, they look completely different. Look at Harris's isolation percentage. It was 8% at the end of last year, and now it's 43%. His PPG avg. and FTA show that he's scoring and getting to the line often using isolation. This is a newly developed facet of Devin's game this year which is evident by last year's 8% isolation. What else is he doing? He's taking less spot up shots this year (10% compared to 23% last year), but he's also continuing to use the progress he made as a pick and roll ball handler (60% last year compared to 40% this year) as his foundation for this year's success. Fire up NBA LIVE 09 and play against New Jersey. Harris should be taking you to school using his now lethal isolation game. Once you have that locked, he'll go old school and use the pick and roll game to his advantage. This type of realism can only be found in NBA LIVE 09 using NBA LIVE 365. Check it out for yourself today and let me know how successful you've been.
We're off for the holiday, but we'll be back in the New Year! Have a safe holiday everyone! Hallelujah Holla-Back!
