Oh, @Sccit:

At the start of the 2016 season:
WIGGINS HIMSELF WILL BE BETTER THAN LEBRON IN 2 YEARS .. THIS WILL GO DOWN AS THE WORST TRADE IN NBA HISTORY
You are truly the dumbest muh'fukka on this board. I don't want to even imagine how idiotic you'd have to be to take my Wiggins' posts out of context, when you, yourself, probably have the worst Wiggins take in existence.

Let me ask you: what are you paying attention to when you play fantasy basketball?

Everything. You are literally reading up on every player, every bit of news, every playbook, researching injuries...its mania.

Yes its in the context of maximising your fantasy score, but to get to that conclusion on who’s the best for your team, you look at every aspect of the game

When I used to do Fantasy Football (European), it was literally paying to get the data feeds of each players movements for the full 90 minutes and building models to maximise your predictive power...

And tell me, what stats are used for whatever this fantasy score is, if you're supposedly looking at every aspect of the game?

Think of it this way: the only “stat” that actually matters is which team has the most points at the end of a game. Agreed?

Yet each player, coach, front office and fan has their own way of analysing the game to predict its outcome.

Same analogy for fantasy basketball. To be good at it, you need to understand the game and how it translates into its artificially contrived scoring system.

A.C. Green was a role player in 1990 and he was an All-Star
James Donaldson was a role player in 1988 and he was an All-Star
Mark Eaton was a role player in 1989 and he was an All-Star
Allen Iverson was a role player in 2010 and he was an All-Star
Roy Hibbert was a role player in 2014 and he was an All-Star
Dale Davis was a role player in 2000 and he was an All-Star
Don Buse was a role player in 1977 and he was an All-Star
B.J. Armstrong was a role player in 1994 and he was an All-Star


The list goes on and on.

Contrary to your belief @Cereal_Bowl_Assassin you can be a role player (or border on being a role player) and make the All-Star game. As I keep trying to reiterate to you, All-Star selections are based on popularity and narrative.
@Cereal_Bowl_Assassin

Are you going to address this or not?

@Gil Scott-Heroin

Stop @ting me please.

You’re clearly ramping up again.

Walgreens should be open by now. You can go re up on your prescription before you totally spin out and go to that dark place again.
:picard:

Oh, it's not fun anymore that you can't tag me constantly about Lowry? You must have tagged me about 5-6 times, at least. This is what happens when you involve yourself in discussions that you don't know anything about; you end up looking stupid at the end of it. Stay in your lane next time.
