Harden deserves a F for leaving the rockets. He's also a thin blue line punisher type of guy.

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

but shooting efficiency numbers by themself are an abstraction . you have to look at the whole player and how their team performs . us younger thinkers know to not take stats in I solation but look at what actually happened . along with shooting percentage we also bravely look at who won the game . we are not afraid to consider this the real world

for example last night the Washington wizards shot excellently . they were 56%/40%/80% . the old Steph fans would think wow that is great shooting they are a finals team full of mvps and ball of famers !!!! no. the wizards lost. there is more to basketball than shooting

what about dunking

Jokic is fun because he's a giant flailing jelly man who moves at about 8 mph and then he chucks up the ball at the stupidest angle and it always goes in. Good "novelty value."

could have simply said he's European

dunks should be worth 3 because theyre cool and decrease from there. halfcourt prayer shots should be worth -1 as they are a sign of poor sportsmansbip by a losing team.

baseball is really the only sport* where advanced stats work. it's impossibly hard to isolate one players performance in such a team sport with fluid passing/ball possession.

*big american sports. cricket does not count.
