Turnovers can be a player's Achilles heel.

They not only disrupt an offense's flow but also gift

the opponent an opportunity to score.

"turnovers" refer to a statistic that measures the number of times a team loses possession of the
basketball to the opposing team during a game. Turnovers can occur for various reasons,
including errant passes, mishandling of the ball, offensive fouls, or steals by the opposing team.
They are considered a negative statistic for a team because they disrupt offensive plays and
provide the opposing team with an opportunity to score.

Limiting turnovers is an essential aspect of a team's strategy, as it helps maintain offensive flow
and prevents the opponent from gaining extra possessions. Conversely, forcing turnovers is a
defensive strategy to disrupt the opposing team's offense and create scoring opportunities.

Players who handle the ball frequently, such as point guards and playmakers, are more likely to
have turnovers, but turnovers are generally seen as a negative aspect of a player's
performance. Reducing turnovers while still being effective in distributing the ball is a key skill for
such players.

.It's important to note that turnovers are not solely an indicator of a player's shortcomings. In
many cases, they can be a byproduct of a player's willingness to take risks and make
aggressive plays. In Malone's case, his turnovers were a result of his fearless approach to the
game, which also contributed to his impressive scoring and rebounding statistics.

LeBron James has the most career turnovers with 4,971 turnovers.
