fart simpson posted:if you trust 538's advanced stats, and i think all of us here do, then the celtics have 3 players better than kevin durant and 6 players better than kyrie (the nets 2nd best player) I definitely don't trust 538's stats compared to ESPN/BR. They only gave the Warriors a 22% chance of making the playoffs heading into the season! They were seemingly right about the Celtics though

IIRC they had bad 3p% for and against at the time which evened out.

he’s fine but is he “notable “? do we have entire podcasts dedicated to the career of Ricky Davis or Dana barros are we going to put Chris Middleton on the cover of a magazine if they existed anymore ?

Time posted:do u actually care about what sports writers think? genuine q they are a substantial part of the nba and decide things like mvp and all nba at the most tangible end and also more ephemeral aspects like what teams are covered and what stories are pushed (basically they decide the fans experience of the nba in part ) if your follow up is why do I care about the mvp well I am a fan of basketball

all leagues should move away from having writers do anything important. they have destroyed(in part ) baseball’s hall of fame and nba awards and won’t stop until defeated

Because he pussed out, his notable years are nuetered, and we shouldn't credit him with things that didnt happen.

ok fine he’s notable in the sense that he’s an entry in the book of records . however counting stats in the nba are mostly bunk considering how dependent they are pace which fluctuates wildly over time

baseball games are the same “pace “ (27 outs ) across all eras so it makes more sense in that sport to use counting stats for example

a much more valuable stat would be percentage of three pointers made let’s look at the all time list curry is on there too ok so good point I guess I underestimated him . mea culpa
