Skip just said CP0 is not a superstar

[GoddamnyamanProf]

No that's just your biased against him. He's a better finisher. End of story.



He's the better scorer. End of story.

Lmao. Facts be damned, 2 + 2 = 5.

If there was no difference then you wouldnt have bothered trying to go to last season over this past one that just ended. Westbrook still took over 300 attempts near the rim this season, thats not a fair sample? And yes it is representative of his overall ability - quick trip to nba.com reveals that hes never finished around the rim better than 55% in any season and his career numbers are considerably lower than that.

Im so glad stats exist for these situations, to simply display just how shytty your eye test truly is.

I told you why, so are we going to completely dismiss what happen LAST season when he was basically 100% healthy and played 82 games as opposed to this season where he was recovering from two knee surgeries and missed 30-odd games?

Last season was the more accurate showing of where his ability is as a finisher.

And yes it is representative of his overall ability - quick trip to nba.com reveals that hes never finished around the rim better than 55% in any season and his career numbers are considerably lower than that.

2010/2011 season - 59% at the rim:

2011/2012 season - 60% at the rim:

2012/2013 season - 61% at the rim:

2013/2014 season - 58% at the rim:

Im so glad stats exist for these situations, to simply display just how shytty your eye test truly is.

Any time you have to declare yourself anything in all caps, you already lost. Have some dignity lol

NBA Stats

3-4 feet away is at the rim. But if you want to keep it to within 2 feet then CP's percentages jump up as well to over 70% so of course it makes no difference either way, you're still wrong and furious and not living in reality.

i don't mind if cp3 gets "superstar" or "best pg" nods but yeah, he probably does deserve more heat than he gets for his lack of playoff success. but at the same time, you'd have to go back to the 80's to find point guards that really led their the team to the promised land...and even then, they (magic and zeke) had STACKED teams. and even before then, it was a super-rarity to have a pg-led championship team...i can't even think of one right now.

that's why i don't really get hyped about squads whose best player is their pg. the odds aren't in their favor.

The clips aren't stacked now? Those dudes are heavy on talent.

How many has Carmelo been to? Skip constantly calls Melo a superstar and he calls Harden a superstar as well even though he was a no show in the finals, Skip is one of the most biased analyst on television and that's never been more apparent then with his Tebow & Manziel love.

'Melo has been to 1 WCF. He is missing the Playoffs for the first time, even with a good team, because of coaching and ownership. CP3 has never been to a CF (even with this Clipper roster) and has missed the Playoffs 3 times. CP3 is a great player and is being unfairly criticized but I'm just answering your questions. Lj has been a no-show in 3 out of 4 Finals and the only reason he showed up in 2012 is because the refs wouldn't let KD guard Lj. KD averaged 4 fouls per game in that series and Lj averaged only 2. They did this because he was so awful in the Finals before that, and they have put millions of marketing dollars into convincing everyone that he's “the best player in the world”. Please don't act like Skip, HeatSPN or any other media source is fair to 'Melo because they aren't.

Score more efficiently and dominantly, command far more defensive attention, finish at the rim, etc.

Paul is obviously the better ball-handler, passer, and better at controlling the pace of game but Lebron is still elite in those aspects on top of being an athletic anomaly with 70 LBS, plus 6 inches, and such.

Lj is only 2.5% better in FG% than CP3 for their careers, despite the fact that CP3 is a jump-shooter and not a “finish at the rim” guy, like Lj. Like KD, when Westbrook joined his team, Lj got more efficient playing with Wade and Bosh. Before then, Lj's FG% was pathetic for a guy who takes most of his shots from within 5ft of the basket. CP3 commands more defensive attention than anyone on his team, including the leading scorer. Lj's vision is elite. His ball-handling is poor (3.5 turnovers per game). His passing is not elite (his assist-to bad pass-ratio is the same as Felton's, who is at 4, and only 0.7 better than JR's who is at 3.4). His height advantage sure wasn't relevant against a past-his-prime Jason Terry on neither defense, nor offense ().

All the raw data supports my argument. Only an idiot would try to say otherwise.

I love CP but I'm sick of this fakkit disappearing. No more excuses this series.
