The title says it all. A hotly contested subject:

Stat-padding:
What is stat-padding?
Who are the most notorious stat-padders out there? Historically?
Is stat-padding ever ok?

If teams don't want someone to score, shouldn't they just not let them score?

IS LEBRON A STAT-PADDER? (I want my plat, brehs). :troll:




So let's fight over I mean discuss this issue once and for all. :mjgrin:

Unless you

1. Create an objective statistical measure for “stat padding” and

2. apply it to all the GOATS careers evenly

it’s a meaningless hater narrative

Exactly.

There is no consensus on how to quantify it.
And even if you did, over the course of a career it wouldn't amount to anything anyway.

Stat padding is all about intentions and impact. If a player does everything in his power on offense and defense to help his team win regardless of the teams roster then that is not stat padding. If a player cherry picks on defense and only get his numbers on offense that has little impact on winning then that’s stat padding.

It won’t matter. Conversation will still be about 3 players who aren’t even gonna be in the playoffs.
MJ, Bron, and Kobe :francis:
