The NBA has changed drastically since it was founded in the 1940’s. In addition to fundamental rule changes such as the implementation of the shot clock, the widening of the paint and the addition of the the three-point line, the average NBA player has changed quite a bit over the past 60+ years.
Seat Smart was able to put together some pretty neat graphs documenting how the average NBA player has morphed through the years. They also put together some interesting visual representations of which cities, states, non-US countries, high schools and colleges have cumulatively produced the most NBA talent.
Check out Seat Smart’s findings below.
