Any meaningful discussion about the quality of a pro basketball league's officiating ought to include prominent players.
Which is why this reporter reached out to Kawasaki Brave Thunders star Nick Fazekas after Sunday's game against the Yokohama B-Corsairs.
Fazekas makes a living taking — and making — lots of shots. He led the B. League in scoring (27.1 points per game) last season, the circuit's inaugural campaign. He's No. 2 this season, averaging 25.5 a game for the title-chasing Brave Thunders. All told, he's attempted more than 1,800 shots from the field since the league staged its opening weekend in September 2016.
