wtf is a god dream

JUST the Process™

>Colangelo has ruined Hinkie's dream by making all these dumb short term moves that haven't worked out, while riding off the "Trust the Process" luck

fucking sorry Hinkie

Say something nice about the spuds

>Say something nice about the spuds

They've won 50+ games a season for almost 2 decades

Call me when John Wall does this

Try the Djembe. Or maybe a kazoo.

>cherry picking stats

we can find stats that Isaiah was the only player to do too.

Check these stats.
These aren't cherry picked

I had a dream lebron went to the Knicks in free agency. I don't normally dream about NBA shit but I figured this was interesting.

oh damn he got 10 rebounds a game he must be the best point guard in the NBA

This is a LeGod dream

>50-40-90 club
>cherrypicking

L

nice snake list

It's literally arbitrary cherry picking. You think averaging 49/39/89 isn't good?

Did Oscar Robertson purposely not make his 7 foot centers grab rebounds too??

Why didn't Bird shoot twice as many 3s so he can score 30+ ppg.

Why didn't your mom abort you?

>You think averaging 49/39/89 isn't good?

Not good enough to be in the elite company of the 50-40-90 club

He didn't play in the 2010s era

>Robertson did it convincingly
>was within 1 of either assists or boards previous seasons and over his first 5 years he avg'd one.
>Westcuck gets 10 assists and stops passing and steals boards to get to 10
>just as good!

he scored 31 PPG with 10 assists. Even if he grabbed 0 rebounds that's a fucking amazing statline.

Sure triple doubles are a meme, but discounting that russ was still far and away the MVP the year and undisputed best PG

>my arbitrary standard of even numbers is more impressive than your arbitrary standard of even numbers!

Curry cucks on suicide watch

Having great stats is irrelevant if your team doesn't win games

>a record showing how well you performed doesn't matter if the rest of your team didn't meet your level of play

Really activates my noggin.

If you don't win games your stats don't matter.

Lmaoooooo was this year's MVP the fakest MVP of all time? Only MVP to get eliminated in the first round

>statpadding but losing games should be rewarded

Lmao

>people who started watching in 2015 actually believe this

stats are the ultimate measure of NBA skill. Without them we'd have no other way to compare players with each other and we'd be clueless as to who the best players are. Only retards who buy into ESPN and skip bayless' "rings are the only thing that matters" bullshit try to discount stats

Yeah I guess Kevin Garrett, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jason Kidd, and countless others were just stat padding and they totally weren't great of anything.

Define stat padding and let me laugh at you.

MVP hasn't meant shit since voters got "voter fatigue" and gave it to Rose in 2011. Lebron should be MVP every year since 2010

>stats are the ultimate measure of NBA skill

Derrick Rose got eliminated in the first round off the top of my head so you're wrong

When your 7 foot center purposely does not grab rebounds so your 6'2 PG can grab it so that later on you can say "he averaged a triple double!" while losing in the first round

you literally just named 3 of the biggest stat padders of all time. That's not helping your case

all these nerds are dumb as fuck

It's a record of what occured.

Do you deny that Egyptians built pyramids and Jesus existed?

>stats are the ultimate measure of NBA skill

LeGOD confirmed GOAT?

Yeah when Wilt stopped scoring on purpose and only passed after winning 7 scoring titles in a row he was just stat padding and he totally wasn't one of if not the greatest scorer ever.

Players play to win championships not to get nice stats.

spam is at full force today

What does that have to do with the fact Westbrook statpadded and lost games?

Stats are a record of what occurred. If you as a player have a record that shows you were great compared to others this cannot be refuted because it hurt your feelings.

Championships are won by teams, if you want to talk about that then talk about team stats, but if not literally nothing you've said refutes the truth that's occurred.

Now go back to /x/ and watch Ancient Aliens instead of spamming your garbage here.

when you play a pick up game in front of a bunch of girls, who do the girls always end up hitting on?

They don't give a rats ass who won the game, they always hit on the guy with the most points/rebounds/assists who can dunk. When you walk into a gym that's the guy everyone notices, not the guy who happens to be on the winning team the most times.

Even subconsciously people who don't understand the sport will gravitate towards the guy with the best stats

If you're just going by advanced metrics, Chris Paul is far and away the greatest point guard of all time.

>Who is Dirk

Define stat padding because the definition I see shows that stat padding in basketball is mostly done when losing by a large margin or winning by a large margin and the Thunder were top 2 in the league in having games decided by the closest amount of points and have a very small point differential that proves this.

Girls always hit on the guy with the best advanced stats.

>this nigga mad as fuck still
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gonna watch his speech and the Denver game one more time just for you.

If athletes cared about stats why did D.Wade, Bosh, and LeBron get together? Why did KG Pierce and Allen get together? Why did Durant join the Warriors? All their stats went down significantly than when they were the main guys on their team, but guess what? They didn't care, they cared more about winning Championships. Athletes are competitors, they compete to win, not "oh- i averaged more assists than him". But you fatfucks beat off to statistics because that's all you know, you've never played a team sport competitively.

Exactly. The first time I got 12/10/10 in a pickup game I got a blowjob. You don't think girls notice when you get a triple double? Now imagine if I scored 30.

>compete to win
>mentions Durant who did the opposite of competing to win in the easiest way possible

SPPPPPP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Stay mad loser

M V P B R O O K !

because they fell for the rings meme. I blame ESPN trying to brainwash players into forming superteams to win rings, before that it was always about stats and MVP's and rings were just an accessory.

>Athletes are competitors, they compete to win,
>Durant
>Compete

By your own definition Durant stat padded a championship. Which actually makes sense now that I think about it.

Durant wanted a ring, he went to the Warriors and got one. He cared more about that then staying with the Thunder and getting nice stats as the main guy. Durant got Finals MVP and a ring. Meanwhile Westbrook bounced in the first round lmfaooooooooooooooooo

>By your own definition Durant stat padded a championship. Which actually makes sense now that I think about it.

ITS TRUE
ITS TRUE
ITS TRUE

HOLY SHIT THIS

Durring padder

>Durrantstats the ring padder

Perfect

How does my ass taste /nba/??

My celties are literally the team to beat now.

Ring padding piece of shit loser Durrcan't BTFO

A new epic meme was born.

God tier post.

>Durant is ringpadding

Players compete to win championships, they don't compete to get better stats than each other. Durant put himself in the best competitive position to win a ring.

>tfw when I started this whole stats argument
I regret it tbqhwyf

Westbrook will NEVER have a picture like this
