THE CHALLENGE: "teach me statistics in half an hour with no mathematical formula"

The RESULT: an intuitive overview of distributions, sampling and hypothesis testing that (almost) scrapes in under 30 minutes :)

Whether you're studying statistics for the first time or are just curious as to what the study of statistics is all about, this video is a great introduction to several core concepts.

Oh, and all the examples I use come from the 2018-19 NBA season.

Steph's 3 point percentage is what is called a 'ratio', which is numeric. It can be argued to be discrete (as for a given number of attempts, there are only so many possible percentages that can be achieved), or continuous (if we allow the number of attempts to change). Heated arguments either way here are semantic, in my opinion :)
