He really gets into indeph detail interesting host as well

Good balance

Great balance so that even nerdy novices understand the stats. Interesting look at how the stat is compiled and then the value of the stat for evaluation of past players!

Great balance between a deep dive into the analytics behind the stats, but still easy to follow for us non-statistical types!
