There are lots of important pro basketball stats to track: points, rebounds, assists, and, of course, stab wounds.

Most stab wounds to not affect play

About a month before the start of the 2000-2001 season, Boston Celtics star Paul Piece went to the Buzz Club in Boston. A fight broke out, and Pierce tried to break it up…only to have one of the guys involved stab him. Shockingly, Pierce was stabbed 11 times that night. His teammate Tony Battie was with him that night and rushed him to a hospital. Pierce recovered very quickly and didn’t miss a single game of basketball that year.

Most starting lineups in a season

Journeyman NBA coach Larry Brown (he’s coached nine NBA teams since the ’70s) just did not want to stick with the same staring five for the New York Knicks in the 2005-06 season. Over the course of the 82-game season, he utilized 42 different starting lineups. Sixteen different players were started, and only 13 of those 42 lineups were repeated. (It didn’t work too well—the Knicks went 29-53.)

Most rookies to start

In another starting lineup experiment in 2012, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson started five rookies for the last (and meaningless, in terms of playoffs) game of the season. Most NBA teams usually only have one or two new players at most, let alone five.

Laziest player

In January 2011, Joel Anthony of the Miami Heat apparently just didn’t feel like playing too hard. In a game against the Portland Trailblazers, Anthony played 29 minutes and didn’t log any points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks…or shot attempts. About a week later, Anthony logged 43 minutes in a game against Atlanta and once against made no attempts to score. By the way, he made more than $3 million that season.

Biggest height disparity

At the time of the 1987-88 season, both the tallest and shortest players in NBA history were active: 7’7″ Manute Bol and 5’3″ Muggsy Bogues. And they played on the same team: the Washington Bullets.

A very odd trade

In 1983, the Portland Trailblazers needed a point guard and maneuvered with the Indiana Pacers to get theirs, all-star Don Buse. What did the Pacers get in return? Jon Spoelstra. He was the general manager of the Portland Trailblazers. And for Don Buse, the Indiana Pacers got a week of marketing consultation from Spoelstra.
