There is definitely miscalculation in the way the scouted value for strength is presented for both current and retired players. That's going to result in a bit a of strength change with the next update on Thursday for some players. Hope that's not too alarming. I thought of re-running the player update from the season flip, but that had other risks. I might have to do something else to make sure the retired players strength is returned to it's appropriate value. Still investigating that. Thanks, Steve

The Chat GPT answer -- which I thought was pretty accurate: Physical Defense & Post Play Holding position against opponents in the paint (especially for forwards and centers). Establishing position in the post. Boxing out for rebounds. Absorbing contact during drives or layups without losing balance or control. Finishing through Contact: Strength allows players to absorb bumps from defenders and maintain their balance and shooting motion, leading to more made baskets and potential "and-one" opportunities.
