In the depths of the offseason, with so little going on news-wise, we often explore NBA rabbit holes to uncover lesser-known facts about the league. Today, we’re focusing on the distance NBA players cover during games. The league has been tracking this data since the 2013-14 season, which allows us to identify which players have run the most.
