LeBron throwing darts at KD and other high-volume chuckers

[Stealth]

Do you even know the definition of a stat padder?

"I don’t watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym,” Durant says. “But I do look at LeBron’s box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to."

...

Durant has hired his own analytics expert. He tailors workouts to remedy numerical imbalances. He harps on efficiency more than a Prius dealer. To Durant, basketball is an orchard, and every shot an apple. “Let’s say you’ve got 40 apples on your tree,” Durant explains. “I could eat about 30 of them, but I’ve begun limiting myself to 15 or 16. Let’s take the wide-open three and the post-up at the nail. Those are good apples. Let’s throw out the pull-up three in transition and the step-back fadeaway. Those are rotten apples. The three at the top of the circle — that’s an in-between apple. We only want the very best on the tree.”

Oh Your Jealous He Shoots So Much? Maybe You Should Go Back To The Cavs, Plenty Of Shots For There Breh

 

[Jax]

Durant scoring near 30ppg and nobody gives a fukk

 

[Draje]

since when does anyone give a motherfukk about shooting percentage

that gets discussed as an afterthought

Smart players? How is scoring the most points possible on the least amount of shots a bad thing?

What's better 31 points on 14 shots or 41 points on 27 shots?

You didn't end shyt. All you did was reveal that there's a method to his scoring prowess. And that's not fukking stat padding, doofus.

The KING playing against other professional athletes like its a video game

the love you have for KD is something else. This refusal of wanting to believe something when theres been pounds of evidence shown to you is crazy.

keep doing you breh, keep denying facts :lupesalute:

Spoiler

KD is a stat padder

Lebron ing now? I guess with Kobe down on an his last legs we need somebody to pick up the mantle. Who better than Bron?

 

[Malik]

For all the cats saying Bron is only shooting this well because of who he plays with are wrong. His fg percentage went up his last three years in Cleveland and he would still probably be at this 55-59 percent level he's been at the last few years since that seems to be an actual goal of his with him stopping the buzzer beaters and not taking as many threes as he used to.

LeBron's fg% went up drastically after coming to Miami. Wade and Bosh's went up slightly. Its not a coincidence

Lebron's fg% in years before the decision: .475% clip
Lebron's fg% in years after the decision: .538% clip

Wade's fg% in years before the decision: .482% clip
Wade's fg% in years after the decision: .505% clip

Bosh's fg% in years before the decision: .492% clip
Bosh's fg% in years after the decision: .507% clip

 

[OG Talk]

shyt like this is what's wrong with basketball these days.

You should be doing anything to help your team win.

Good point about Bron...

I was just telling my guy the other day he doesn't do enough to help his team win....

Two things stand out after skimming through the thread:

1. nikkas really pushin the last second halfcourt shyt. Yeah that's the reason he's shooting 59% not the improved jumper, post moves, shot selection, and teammates that demand attention, along with the physical gifts he's always had. It's all about halfcourt heaves at the end of quarters which don't even happen that often.

2. nikkas are calling a guy who attempts 16 shots per game while scoring 26 ppg a stat padder/whore. It's hilarious how nikkas act like fg% is the only stat that people pay attention to or the only stat that nikkas "pad". If he was taking unnecessary shots to score more points (you know...another stat) that would be better right?

These statements by Bron are clearly meant to his detractors and it's clearly working.

 

[TheNig]

My only knock on him. He's to caught up on his stats. He's Wilt Chamberlain in that regard.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

He shoots 60% from the field, partly because he eliminates bad shots from his repertoire, and it's obviously working because he's won the last 2 MVPs and the last 2 chips... Then he trolls yall fakkits simply by stating the obvious just to make you mad.



If shooting 3/4 court shots "helps your team win" then why aren't the guys who do that winning chips? Oh yeah, that guy shooting 60%.

 

[Swagnificent]

A lot of guys do....most of the big names will not take half court shots to end a quarter or half.

what a weird generation of players this is

I don't ever remember fg% being brought up in the early 2000s. Now it seems like its the only stat most nikkas wanna cite.

Did my team win on my 31 pts from 14 attempts? If not, maybe I should have sho 27 shots.
