How's this for an "empty stat" TDK. Up to and including December 26, 2016, in his last 3 season with the Cavs in his second run with them, when LeBron played, the team was 129-43. When he missed, the team was 4-17. I'm sure it's a coincidence. The numbers were even more startling in his f...

Let me try to dumb-it-down for you, robTot: +/- involves too many factors that are out of the player's control, therefore the rating is woefully flawed. That's an irrefutable fact to any astute hoops fan. :asskicking: EPM addresses "many factors beyond the player's control" (see methodolo...

TDK being absolutely ragdolled as usual and too dumb and with too much cognitive bias to realize it.

You have no point, except the one on top of your head. By all expert accounts that I've read, the Lakers have looked like a much better TEAM in the games LeFraud misses. The entire nature of your relationship flipped on the basis of a single game lol. Going from "Lebron should come off the ben...

Ouchie!

He pretty much nailed you to a T.

Agree that Embiid was having an amazing season though. Incredible that this era boasts such an incredible array of talent never before seen. We are truly blessed.

Like Jesus, people hate TDK because he spits the truth

Larry Johnson in this era would put up Giannis numbers

Larry Johnson might be an end of the bench rotation player. Mostly just garbage time.

Kemp is the only one who would even be in the hall of very good. All the others in that list either have short careers (KJ) or were guys who barely flirted with all-star status in even their best seasons. For a reference point, the best semi-modern statistical match for Mark Aguirre is Hot Rod Will...

It really is. The depth of talent just dwarfs anything ever seen in prior eras.

I like how TDK counts Chauncey (started in 1998) and Carter (started in 1999) are counted as "Jordan's era", and then tries to add (mostly) a bunch of good but clearly not-HOFers on the basis of NBA play. Terry Cummings from 1985 to 1998: 16/7 on 48 percent shooting with two all-star sele...

Hall of Pretty Good would be more accurate. Those guys shouldn't be in the HOF without buying a ticket.

I am lucky insofar as even as a kid, I wasn't that fond of soda. I haven't had a coke in probably at least 35 years and to be honest, I haven't wanted one. 99% of my beverage consumption would be made up of water, black coffee and clear tea, with a little red wine and the very odd "Old Fashione...

Too bad Jokic can't play Defense though... Wemby with NINE (9) Blocks!!! Also, the rookie's 8-AST (and only 2 Turnovers) >>>>>>>> Jokic's 6 / 4. Not to mention the defending Champs (at Home) just barely squeaked by the worst team in the WC... but then again, this Era of the NBA is all about "s...

Some of Jordan’s records lebron won’t be able to touch. Like games with 25+ fga, Jordan has 512 to just 279 for LeBron. Or games with 15+ fta, Jordan with 130 and LeBron just 117. Somehow Jordan accomplished all that in just 11 “full” seasons Interesting stats I would have never thought of looking ...

Sounds good. AI was on par defensively with Jordan and better than Gary Payton because his steals per game told me so. Hey... if "career Steals per game" average is the only criteria you use to evaluate Defensive play/impact, so be it. I would obviously disagree because Steals are just on...

Imagine Kobe or MJ being GOOD ENOUGH to turn a "5th option" into such an incredible scorer. WoW!!! Explain how LeFraud turned Hachimura into an incredible scorer when he was Scoring just as much/more when he was with the Wizards. I'll wait... He didn't seem to be helping the Wizzard win m...

Perimeter players didn't have to worry about Bill Russell. Not one little bit. Ask Jerry West.

I generally have an addictive personality, but I've never understood the allure of gambling. It just does nothing for me. :noidea: I don't understand it either. There is a reason they build big casinos and spend fortunes developing online gaming books, and it isn't to give you money. You gambled fo...
