7.1 PPG, 1.5 AST, 1.4 REB
They apparently call him 'The Brazilian Blur'
These Tip-Off series are really fun, yet they are a pain because most of the players are not that good. Some jersey numbers are filled with great players that make it hard to choose which one you want to write about, and some of them make it hard to find a decent player. Number 19 only got me Leandro Barbosa who was a good player 8 years ago. He is notable nowadays because he was on the GSW winning squad last season, getting the title he wanted for 12 years, and actually putting in some offensive input from the very talented bench Golden State had last year. He provided some good extra shooting and good ball-movement when the stars (Klay, Steph, or Draymond) were taking a rest. He also had that little extra bit of energy GS needed to beat the Cavs, not that they could not beat them without him, but it helped to give the warriors star players some rest so they could be fully effective the rest of the series. Leandro Barbosa is also interesting because he is the only NBA player to be studied on how effective a community of Leandro Barbosa's in ancient Egypt could be at building the pyramids compared to the normal Egyptians back then. The scientist concluded that a community of Barbosa's could build the pyramids about 2 times faster than the regular Egyptians back then. I got this from a book I read from my local library, something like the 'Darko Basketball Guide' if you want to check it out.
