I just meant in terms of the general disagree i am not getting into a "who does and doesn't get respect from the refs" bullshit argument. It goes nowhere, but for what it's worth NBA.com tracks drive stats and Kyrie gets 1.6 ft a game on 9.3 drives shooting 50.8%. I don't see a way to easily rank by attempts/drives but it doesn't seem to be a really good number (Lebron and Jimmy Butler drive the same number of times per game and get double the fta) but is typical for driving pgs (Kemba, Elfrid, and Teague are almost identical, Dragic and Schroeder drive even more for less fta). But some guys, notably IT, Bledsoe, Lowry, Rose, Lillard, Wall, and Conley get to the line much more. http://stats.nba.com/players/drives/#!?sort=DRIVES&dir=1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season

Same.

Looking into it a bit the "pf%" number at the end of the drive table is some kind of measurement of how often they're fouled (maybe overall including non shooting fouls?) He gets a whistle about as often as Steph Curry or CJ McCollum, very slightly less than Harden or slightly more than Kemba and Reggie Jackson, and you're probably being influenced by the fact that you have Lebron next to him getting the 4th most calls among players with >6 drives a game.

edit: Wiggins Butler and Cousins get the most, then it's a 2% drop to Kawhi and as steady decline through Westbrook, Wade, Derozen, Giannis, and Lillard for the top 10 foul% on drives.

I feel life Kyrie is better at getting to the rim and a better finisher there than Gil was, but that might have just been me focusing more on Gil's shooting which was way more unique back then.

Gil vs Kyrie

Kyrie 26.4% of shots within 3 feet at 59.5%, Gil 25% of shots at the rim at 61.5%

edit: the real difference: Kyrie with a pathetic 16 dunks to Gil's 122. Sad!

The ultimate triple double machine could've been 1990 Darrell Walker. 9.5/8/8.8 per game with a USG% of 13.6%. Just give him another FGA, funnel him another rebound, let him handle the ball a TINY bit more, increase the teams pace a little and you have a TD machine with a guy barely touching the ball.

Lebron was a tiger tonight. Predatory animal metaphor is ubiquitous in sports, but it's the only metaphor I can use to adequately describe Lebron in comparison to other professional NBA athletes, he is a tiger, they are men.

He's always lurking, lurking, and when he attacks, it's with strength and speed that don't seem possible.
The athleticism crackles in Russ Westbrook's veins, he jumps off the court at tipoff because it's popping him internall like a kernel of corn.

But Lebron just does his big cat jog and slink, then with one PAAAHNK hard dribble, the pounce, and oh my god Isaiah Thomas is going to be guarding Larry Sanders or JR Smith if they meet in the playoffs, because Lebron devoured him, and felt no remorse.

LBJ is basically a cat person from Cat People.

Will Giannis ever win an MVP? I think he has a great shot at it in about 2-3 years. He could have a run like Westbrook is having and by that time LeBron may be slowing down so the Bucks could get a pretty high seed in the East.

His name may be too long.

Portland has the tiebreaker so they're essentially 2 games behind. Any combination of Blazers wins/Denver losses that adds up to 3 will give Portland the 8th seed.

Portland has vs Min, vs Utah, vs SA, vs NO remaining. Denver has vs NO, vs OKC, at Dal, at OKC remaining.
