Jokic isn't even one of the top 35 biggest ball hogs. He's taking far fewer shots with Porter and Murray on the team. Giannis is the biggest ball hog in the league

Good players hog the ball. Simple as

it says a lot about your brain disease (no judgment I am trying to help you ) that when confronted with a normal every day term “ball hog” you instantly jumped to “advanced” “stats” to mansplain me

stop that. it’s not healthy.

to be clear the disease manifestation in this case is two fold :

1. jumping to “advanced stats” as a default model of reality and then

2. mansplaining people with said “stats”

also the entire league is behind promoting jokic so his “assist” stats are highly dubious

assists are not real. stop

you can’t walk into a building and point to an assist. it’s a concept.

I can point to a Boston winning the championship tho or jokic being 1-8 in the playoffs in his last nine games

you are doing the same thing . it’s a disease

I didn’t say usage. I am very precise with what I write. if I meant usage I would have said that. I said “ball hog”

now you have the same problem. you read ball hog and the Sportscenter music played in your head and experiences of real basketball soft faded into webpages showing numbers and it outputted “usage” and then you mansplained me about some usage facts. I am not talking about usage.

you can’t take your simulacrum and put it on me. I don’t want it

this comes up against and again. like I will say a objectively true thing like this player is bad at defense and the ESPN crew will say “WELL ACTUSLLY HIS DBPM IS 3.5”

I don’t care about dbpm. I was talking about defense.

Sorry I won't use advanced stats. I'll use a much more basic stat https://www.nba.com/stats/players/touches?dir=D&sort=TOUCHES

Jokic is third in touches but he only spends 2.74 seconds with the ball per touch. The only other players in the top 50 touches who spend less time holding/dribbling the ball are Draymond Green and three bigs: AD/Embiid/Sabonis

You are correct about Doncic though. He spends by far the most time with the ball in the NBA at 10.1 seconds per possession. Jokic isn't even in the top 50 in time per possession

No because you didn't make a good point about Jokic. He is literally one of the least ball hoggy players in the NBA. Doncic on the other hand is the biggest ball hog so I was mistaken to say that Giannis is more of one than him. On that front you are correct

Vox Nihili
May 28, 2008

Mavs only win games at all because Doncic has the ball as much as he does, particularly now that they don't even have Brunson as a secondary creator. It's a function of roster construction. They play him like he's Prime Harden on the Rockets of olde (w/o Chris Paul) because he's a similar-ish shooting/passing/foul baiting threat and they don't have much else going on other than "two-way" catch and shoot goons and I guess whatever Dinwiddie does.

Jokic by contrast plays off ball a lot and really not at all like Doncic.

shooting by itself is overrated especially now in the league when lots of teams shoot well

I understand that old grand parents who watch a lot of espn and have fantasy teams would be easily impressed by Steph’s box score numbers. when you grow up watching people play in the 90s and 00s it must look impressive to see such box score numbers
