I'm not sure he's a poor man. Apparently this is the guy everyone on realgm raves about

Interesting. Thanks for posting!:toast

Daniel's videos have great substance, just not as high quality as Nick's content. I'm not on RealGM.

That was an awesome video. Gonna try to find that guy on YouTube.

Was in attendance for the game against the Pelicans. Saw Adam Silver there chatting it up with Buford/Holt on the bench. Pretty cool experience.

Good analysis. I like when the Warriors run the elevator play for Curry.

So I was thumbing through this guy's channel when I came across this video breaking down Steve Kerr's offense using summer-league footage:

Look familiar to anyone? Well if you follow Coach Nick on B-Ball Breakdown, you might remember this recent entry:

Same coverage (although different styles to be sure). Nick's vid was posted three days after Daniel's vid.

A similar thing happened with the previous Daniel vid covering the Knicks' offense:

That was followed up with this Nick vid four days later:

I don't think it's a coincidence, to be honest. Looks like someone likes to take other people's ideas...

[Kager]

Interesting to see play out what people already say, a good coach and system can make a player look better. If the Spurs system can make D-Leagers and such look good any mid level player should be rushing to play in it look impressive and get a pay day.

the warriors videos seemed really different between the two tbh... i didn't feel like their was plagiarism there

It's more that I think Nick lifted the ideas from Daniel, not that he lifted the content. They have such different styles that even if they had the same exact points, the vids wouldn't seem very similar. In fairness to Nick, Daniel clearly lifts a lot of things from Nick's videos, including beginning his summations with the phrase, "So there you have it...". But after having watched a lot of Daniel's videos, I do feel like there's probably an inappropriate amount of borrowing going on. In their breakdowns of Game Six of the WCF, each of them concluded that the Thunder were not a title team as currently constructed and that their best hope was the wait for the Spurs' to retire. It was almost verbatim.

Anything about the triangle is all coach Nick breathes. Personally that's the system he knows best, he's actually done quite a lot of vids on triangle. That's because when he was a high school coach all he ran was the triangle. He's the closest thing to a triangle homer we have.

Plagiarism doesn't exist in Asian culture, because they are intelligent enough to know that we stand on the shoulders of giants in a deterministic structure.
