Stupid shyt.

Analytics tell you Westbrook’s is inefficient and turnover prone, analytics will tell you most of his rebounds are uncontested. They can paint a picture of how Westbrook’s game is detrimental.

People don’t even know what analytics are.

If they could have, they would have.

It ain't hard to get a triple double...when your entire team lets you do it...

I mean Wilt was a big man that led his his team league in scoring, rebounding and assists for two years straight

That's scheme...not individual talent...

A player with 30 plus usage rate can average a triple double for a season...

His game is detrimental? Yet when he goes for a triple double the team wins 80% of their games so explain that shyt, y'all just like to talk without having any facts that back it up. The number one stat is wins and fukking losses and when he does what he does they win.

I’m sorry.

This jackass really just said that people have swayed too far into the analytics side because we can’t measure the emotional boost a player gives his teammates by swooping in for a put back?

:why:

That’s so fukking stupid.

This isn’t even a scale where analytics is on one side and common sense/scouting is on another. The two work together, dumb ass.
This. nikkas think you either have nothing but analytics and are neholden too it or old school "he a gamer" mentality when it's always both working together.

I've always felt people just like to slag on analytics because they see math and math is scary :yeshrug:

That's not exposing Lebron...that's just exposing Russell Westbrook's meaningless stats...

Lebron could've been did this...

Charles Barkley could've been did this...

Michael Jordan could've been did this...

D Wade could've been did this...

TMac could've been did this...

They didn't do it because it's fukking pointless and arbitrary....

Stealling rebounds from your big man isn't a basketball feat lol

U MUST NOT KNOW LEBRON LMAO

IF HE COULDA DID THIS HE WOULDA DONE IT BY NOW

STATS ARE EVERYTHING TO HIM .. ITS THE PRIMARY REASON HE’S FOOLED THE ENTIRE CASUAL FAN POPULATION INTO BELIEVING HE’S A TOP 3 PLAYER WHEN HE’S REALLY NOWHERE CLOSE.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
RELEVANT analytics and statistics is supposed to work in conjunction to our "eye test". It's not one or the other. Every successful franchise in every major league sport is doing analytics at a high level and continually finding ways to improve on metrics. Even incorporating A.I via real time video imaging to choose the "optimal" course of action in a situation.

Anyone who doesn't think advanced analytics is vital is dumb as fukk :mjlol:

That being said because of the tools we have available for us now there is a lot of bloat statistics and measures that aren't meaningful or at the very least should be taken with grain of salt.
