This genius made a thread about analytics and didn’t post a single advanced metric in that photo other than VORP, which is a counting stat that isn’t all that complex, isn’t predictive, and is prone to large fluctuations from year to year.

Another exhibit in how the vast majority of people who hate stats analysis don’t know anything about it.

There’s a very clear problem with the people who argue that advanced stats are “cac shyt”

They cannot explain in any way how advanced metrics favor 1 player over another. Whether it’s a white guy a black guy or anyone.

To a large degree, advanced analytics confirm public opinion. For example, Michael Jordan ranks near the top of almost every advanced statistic ever created.

Jokic is great. Whether you delve into the numbers or not, you know it.

Analytics support it and they gives you more context. That’s all it is.

But these people get angry because the stats they think USED to matter the most, no longer do because we recognize how flawed they are.

It’s like the morons who still think Wins matter in baseball more than FIP.

The casual basketball fan is dumber than the casual baseball fan.


SO BASED ON ANALYTICS, JOKIC > LEBRON

DO U AGREE?
