Useless ESPN stats: The Coli version

[resurrection]

Stuart Scott has been making sure to point out at every turn that this NBA finals will be the first ever championship game in the four major sports leagues where the two teams' names don't end in an 's'

I hate them cats so much. I don't even watch pre-game or halftime anymore. I just turn the channel until y'all start talking about it in the thread.

Westbrook is the first player to have atleast 25, 8, and 11 since Barkley in 1993.

@ them arbitrary ass numbers.

 

[Da King]

I don't watch any pre or post game and skip halftime. It's TNT/NBATV or bust for NBA coverage

Shane Battier was the first graduate of Duke to only attempt 3 pointers in a game 7 of the ECF with 10 forehead wrinkles

Keep it to real stats. No need to make stuff up because they really do have stats as absurd as the one you just said sometimes.

"This is the 3rd time in Shane Battier's playoff career he's made 3 3pt FG in the 1st Q. His teams are 2-0 in the last 2 occurrences"

It doesn't pertain to this final series....but i hate when they say.

"Such and Such team hasn't lost in this situation in the past 20 yr."

Like it pertains to that current team

I have a breh who I assume just watches the recaps/looks at the boxscore of games and stays talking about "*insert player name here* played well because he had 25 and 8" yeah I know breh I watched the game, if you did you'd see he was *shytty shooting night*.

Apparently Kevin Garnett is the only player to have:
15 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists in a playoff game against the Knicks...
since Scottie Pippen

"Brandon Moss had the first walk off HR in a 19 inning game since 2000"
