"Kevin Durant has averaged 264 dribbles per game since Russell Westbrook's injury. His season average was 134 per game (per SportVu)."



Wow someone counts dribbles?

They probably count possession time and multiply that by the average dribble rate

I don't think it'll get worse than this

You may find that dribble stat absurd...but it's actually pretty damn informative.

The Thing Im Seeing More Often Is

"The First Player Since (Insert Name) To Have 27 Points 11 Rebounds 7 Assists"

Like The Exact Random Numbers

Nah, SportVU is a player tracking technology that uses multiple cameras in the arena that basically tracks everything a player does.

That Duncan alley-oop stat might be the worst I've ever heard about though.

Yeah it's crazy that someone would count dribbles but you can actually take that info and conclude that KD is doing way more ball handling now that Russell is out. Yeah it's obvious but to see the actual numbers is . This nikka is literally dribbling twice as much now.

Like others have said the shyt gets ridiculous when they just take random ass numbers and throw them together:

Player X is the first guy since 1997 to have 14 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast, and 5 stls in a half. We are at the point were basically in any random combo of numbers is noteworthy.
