I had a dream lebron went to the Knicks in free agency. I don't normally dream about NBA shit but I figured this was interesting.

>>77774080
It's literally arbitrary cherry picking. You think averaging 49/39/89 isn't good?

>>77774059
Did Oscar Robertson purposely not make his 7 foot centers grab rebounds too??

>>77773960
Why didn't Bird shoot twice as many 3s so he can score 30+ ppg.

Not good enough to be in the elite company of the 50-40-90 club

>>77774104
He didn't play in the 2010s era

>>77774059
>Robertson did it convincingly
>was within 1 of either assists or boards previous seasons and over his first 5 years he avg'd one.
>Westcuck gets 10 assists and stops passing and steals boards to get to 10
>just as good!

>>77774074

he scored 31 PPG with 10 assists. Even if he grabbed 0 rebounds that's a fucking amazing statline.

Sure triple doubles are a meme, but discounting that russ was still far and away the MVP the year and undisputed best PG

>my arbitrary standard of even numbers is more impressive than your arbitrary standard of even numbers!

Curry cucks on suicide watch

Having great stats is irrelevant if your team doesn't win games

>>77774191
>a record showing how well you performed doesn't matter if the rest of your team didn't meet your level of play

Really activates my noggin.

If you don't win games your stats don't matter.

Lmaoooooo was this year's MVP the fakest MVP of all time? Only MVP to get eliminated in the first round

>>77774207
>statpadding but losing games should be rewarded

Lmao

>>77774191
>people who started watching in 2015 actually believe this

stats are the ultimate measure of NBA skill. Without them we'd have no other way to compare players with each other and we'd be clueless as to who the best players are. Only retards who buy into ESPN and skip bayless' "rings are the only thing that matters" bullshit try to discount stats

>>77774241
Yeah I guess Kevin Garrett, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jason Kidd, and countless others were just stat padding and they totally weren't great of anything.

Define stat padding and let me laugh at you.

>>77774228
MVP hasn't meant shit since voters got "voter fatigue" and gave it to Rose in 2011. Lebron should be MVP every year since 2010

Derrick Rose got eliminated in the first round off the top of my head so you're wrong

>>77774263
When your 7 foot center purposely does not grab rebounds so your 6'2 PG can grab it so that later on you can say "he averaged a triple double!" while losing in the first round

>>77774263

>stats are the ultimate measure of NBA skill

LeGOD confirmed GOAT?

>>77774275
Yeah when Wilt stopped scoring on purpose and only passed after winning 7 scoring titles in a row he was just stat padding and he totally wasn't one of if not the greatest scorer ever.

>>77774286
Players play to win championships not to get nice stats.

spam is at full force today

>>77774304
What does that have to do with the fact Westbrook statpadded and lost games?

>>77774307
Stats are a record of what occurred. If you as a player have a record that shows you were great compared to others this cannot be refuted because it hurt your feelings.

Championships are won by teams, if you want to talk about that then talk about team stats, but if not literally nothing you've said refutes the truth that's occurred.

Now go back to /x/ and watch Ancient Aliens instead of spamming your garbage here.

>>77774307

when you play a pick up game in front of a bunch of girls, who do the girls always end up hitting on?

They don't give a rats ass who won the game, they always hit on the guy with the most points/rebounds/assists who can dunk. When you walk into a gym that's the guy everyone notices, not the guy who happens to be on the winning team the most times.

Even subconsciously people who don't understand the sport will gravitate towards the guy with the best stats

If you're just going by advanced metrics, Chris Paul is far and away the greatest point guard of all time.

>>77774228
>Who is Dirk

>>77774321
Define stat padding because the definition I see shows that stat padding in basketball is mostly done when losing by a large margin or winning by a large margin and the Thunder were top 2 in the league in having games decided by the closest amount of points and have a very small point differential that proves this.

>>77774348
Girls always hit on the guy with the best advanced stats.

>this nigga mad as fuck still
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gonna watch his speech and the Denver game one more time just for you.

If athletes cared about stats why did D.Wade, Bosh, and LeBron get together? Why did KG Pierce and Allen get together? Why did Durant join the Warriors? All their stats went down significantly than when they were the main guys on their team, but guess what? They didn't care, they cared more about winning Championships. Athletes are competitors, they compete to win, not "oh- i averaged more assists than him". But you fatfucks beat off to statistics because that's all you know, you've never played a team sport competitively.

>>77774377

Exactly. The first time I got 12/10/10 in a pickup game I got a blowjob. You don't think girls notice when you get a triple double? Now imagine if I scored 30.

>>77774398
>compete to win

Durant wanted a ring, he went to the Warriors and got one. He cared more about that then staying with the Thunder and getting nice stats as the main guy. Durant got Finals MVP and a ring. Meanwhile Westbrook bounced in the first round lmfaooooooooooooooooo

Why in the fuck would anyone root for a NBA team instead of individual players? The players themselves have 0 loyalty and chase rings/cash. It just seems stupid to root for a team when the players all wanna leave and play for winners

>>77775016
natural rights and liberties birds get when they are born

>>77775016
>The Bird exception, named after Larry Bird, is a rule included in the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement that allows teams to go over the salary cap to re-sign their own players. A player who qualifies for the Bird exception, formally referred to as a Qualifying Veteran Free Agent, is said to have "Bird rights."

Is curry the best player under 6'6 in history? Name one with his combined accolades and skill

>>77775072
>this post
>posts a picture of a guy who was loyal to his team for 19 years and that same team has also 2 other players who are beyond loyal

>>77775083
>The most basic way for a player to earn Bird rights is to play for the same team for at least three seasons, either on a multiyear deal or separate one-year contracts. The criteria are a little more complicated than that though. A player retains his Bird rights in the following scenarios:

>1. He changes teams via trade, rather than being waived or signing elsewhere as a free agent. For instance, Anthony Morrow is in the third year of his contract. He has been traded twice, from the Nets to the Hawks and then to the Mavericks, but will earn Bird rights at season's end because he was never waived during those three seasons.
>2 He finishes a third season with a team after having only played partial seasons with the club for the first two years (without signing elsewhere in between).

>However, a player sees the clock on his Bird rights reset to zero in the following scenarios:
>-->He changes teams via free agency.
>-->He is selected in an expansion draft.
>-->He is waived and is not claimed on waivers.
>-->His rights are renounced by his team.

>If a player has earned Bird rights, he is eligible to sign a maximum-salary contract for up to five years with 7.5% annual raises when he becomes a free agent. The maximum salary will vary depending on how long the player has been in the league, but regardless of the amount, a team can exceed the salary cap to complete the deal.

>>77774519
What awkwardly accepting an award he knew he would get at the beginning of the season doing the most low pressure job in basketball and hiding behind a 73 win team to 'cement' his 'legacy'? The autistic fuck didn't know what to do when he got it because he knew it was undeserved so made that lame ass pose and barely even smiled when getting it. Durant didn't work for his accolades and he knows it. I'd be surprised if how beta he is doesn't haunt him everyday

>>77775113
>Although the Bird exception allows teams to exceed the cap, a team cannot necessarily use free cap room to sign free agents and then re-sign its own players via Bird rights. A team with a Bird free agent is assigned a "free agent amount" or cap hold worth either 190% of his previous salary (for a player with a below-average salary) or 150% of his previous salary (for an above-average salary). For players coming off a rookie-scale contract, the amounts of those cap holds are 250% and 200%, respectively.

That's a good question. I think he might be. You could make an argument for Oscar Robertson or maybe Wade or Stockton if you wanted to but Curry is up there.

Top 10 all-time WS48 for players below 6'6 (since 1957 with at least 10k minutes through age 32):

- Chris Paul
- Oscar Robertson
- Jerry West
- James Harden
- John Stockton
- Steph Curry
- Sam Jones
- Sidney Moncrief
- Adrian Dantley
- Dwyane Wade

Which would be more surprising?

>>77775694
come on, dude. Gortat is the same height as Pachulia.

Wall just does not grab a lot of rebounds. that's OK, he's still a top 5 point guard in the league, just means he's not going to average a triple double which isn't that meaningful a stat anyway.

>>77775822
Curry getting more rebounds than Wall is evidence that Wall is not a good rebounder. Being a bad rebounder makes it difficult to average 10 rebounds a game, which makes it difficult to average a triple double, which is why Wall couldn't do it.

Happy Birthday to the 1997 slam dunk Champion

>At the time of data collection, Leonard ranked No. 91 in ESPN.com's defensive real plus/minus (DRPM)—a shocking placement after a top-10 finish in 2015-16. He sat just outside the top 40 in NBA Math's defensive points saved (DPS). And though opponents shot worse against him as an individual, the San Antonio Spurs were allowing 8.5 fewer points per 100 possessions with him off the court, giving him an on/off differential that topped only four qualified players.

No meme stats will remove the fact that John Wall is one of the elite defenders in the league.

>>77776089
>b-b-but the team was worse!

fuck outta here again, spurs were worse defensively with kawhi on the court vs off but obviously we all know kawhi is the best defender in the league.

>inb4 draymond got DPOY though!

>>77776108
the Kawhi situation last year (from a +/- perspective) was really weird and had a lot to do with the way that Pop uses substitution units. He spent a ton of time on the court with really bad defenders, and the substitutes who came on the court for him were all really good defenders, AND there was weird sample-size chicanery that doesn't usually show up

but those are all very specific circumstances about the season that you can point to that explain why his defensive +/- was bad

>>77776125
I already responded to someone else about this but: there are reasons that you can point to about why Kawhi's defensive on/off was bad last year. Unless there are some similar reasons for John Wall - and maybe there are, I don't know of any - it's hard for me to look and say that he was really a good defender when his team played worse defense with him on the court. It doesn't mean that he's necessarily a bad defender but it does need to be explained IMO.

>>77776151
>implying

You cant sit there with a straight face and tell me you would rather have curry guard an opposing PG instead of wall. wall is bigger and quicker than curry. curry is blessed that he has draymond on help defense to cover his mistakes

>>77776253
Wall absolutely has the tools to be a great defender. If he locks in for one play, he can probably play amazing defense. But he has not actually played consistently good defense in the NBA so far.
