Considering you're comparing field goals made (or lackthereof) between Kidd and Lowry, when you know they impacted the game in different ways....seems you're lacking the critical thinking required to distinguish between them. Lowry isnt nearly the floor general Kidd was, he wasn't giving assists and playing defense and grabbing rebounds like Kidd was...so shooting is a bigger part of his game, which means field goals made reflects worse on Lowry....again because Kidd did other things much better than Lowry.
.
He wasn't giving assists, playing defense, and grabbing rebounds like Kidd?
This is why muh'fukkas need to STOP speaking about shyt that have no clue about. I mean, you obviously do NOT watch Lowry play, and yet you're invested in this ignorance to the point where you're not even going to look at his surface stats and realize that he does, in fact,
give assists and
grab rebounds.
Before Lowry's rise on the offensive end, he was known as a defensive, playmaking PG: once upon a time he couldn't score and he couldn't shoot early on his career, and he was used primarily as a defensive piece who could provide playmaking off the bench - that was his niche. It's only been in the second half of his career where he's fine-tuned his scoring skillset to go along with his defense and his playmaking.
And really fukk all that, scoring is the most important and impactful part of the game, you can't just marginalize it to being of equal or lower importance to other areas of the game.
Again, if you had any idea of what the fukk you were talking about, you'd know this. Instead you just like the majority of folks in this thread, posting about shyt you're ignorant of.
I don't need to be a doctor to READ that he sat out with back issues, and had ankle issues this season. Again, if you had seen his play at the start of the season where he was looking like one of the best players in the league and killing it on both ends of the floor, you would've seen a change his play after said injuries. He's not driving to the rim with the same regularity he did prior to sitting out, and he doesn't have the same lift on his jumpshot.
I know, this narcissist doesn't concede shyt(even when he's wrong) and he plays the uppity role every time someone makes a counter point.
And what counterpoint might that be? Someone posting a four-game sample size where they're just looking at his box score stats with no regards to context, and failing to acknowledge that Lowry has already had a greater season than Kidd ever did?
