Your inability to make intelligent arguments with data doesn't change the data. Bush uses data, even when he's trolling you to some extent. I use data.
You make absurd comments like Russell = Rodman which only proves you're an idiot. Emotionally intelligent people can be dispassionate when discussing a topic and not let their personal biases enter the debate. It doesn't matter what the topic is, you have zero ability to see beyond your biases. You have the emotional intelligence of a toddler, no offense to toddlers out there.
Fake stats that yield a "guess" are NOT facts, meatball. Learn the difference.
Russell has MORE in common with Rodman than any other player: Elite Defender, elite Rebounder, solid Passer, below-average Scorer/Offense, with the main difference being that Russell broke into the league when nobody played Defense, so his dominance / results are skewed.
Put him in the 80's and 90's and Russell = Dennis Rodman.
Fact.
Get mad.
A team's defensive rating is a fact TDK. It is how many points it gives up per 100 possessions. Things like TS% are facts TDK, based on a pre-set formula that has been tested using regression analysis that is obviously over your head. You only like these stats when they serve your argument, and then you gleefully bring them up. When they don't, they are "made up". Data is data. There is TONS of it available and sticking your head in the sand and just saying it is "made up" because it doesn't serve your purposes means you make evaluations on needlessly limited data.
Russell could score when it was needed. Russell did whatever was needed to make his team win. In the 1962 finals against the Lakers, in game 7, he scored 30 points and added 40 rebounds in a tight victory in the first of the classic Celtics/Lakers finals. Don't try to tell me that's Rodmanesque.
Russell had seasons where it is estimated he "AVERAGED" 8 blocks a season. He had seasons where it is estimated he AVERAGED 5 steals a season. Rodman never had a season with even 1 block or 1 steal per game. Trying to somehow equate the two is the stuff of idiots.
Like I have said many times and is painfully apparent to anyone with an IQ above room temperature, you have zero ability to see beyond your biases. You are literally a toddler in that respect. And what is worse, a ridiculous amount of how you perceive your self worth is tied to absolutely meaningless crap like the Bulls, MJ, the city of Chicago, Frank Zappa and so on and so forth. That is brutally unhealthy, but it is extremely unlikely you will ever change at this point in your life. Frankly, I feel sorry for you. I wouldn't wish that view of the world on anyone.
