@MarzTalksSports Thank you bro! The awards are not voted on with any consistent criteria either which makes the result even less definitive. Why put so much stock in it?
People often speak as though there are two opposing camps: those who watch and those who calculate. This is an illusion. The first statistician was merely someone who watched carefully enough to begin counting.
Kawhi just averaged 27.9 PPG on 62.9% TS with a +14.1 on-off swing.
The Clippers were 37-28 when he played and 5-12 when he didn't.
He's still easily a Top 10 player when healthy. I can't wait to see him and Scottie play together.
People talk like they do though and that's the problem. People will be debating players and somebody will post that Darko chart
I think the "analytics/stats" tell us the what and the film tells us why and they should be working together to help grow knowledge of the game
Age of 1st championship:
Shaq - 28 (4)
Hakeem - 31 (2)
Dirk - 32 (1)
Duncan - 23 (5)
Kareem - 24 (6)
KG - 32 (1)
Giannis - 26 (1)
If Wemby ain't won 1 by age 26/27 yall can start yelling at him it just looks silly now
Not the exact same, but when Victor plays during these playoffs, opponents have shot 14% fewer rim FGAs
Since at least 2004 โ the year Wemby was born and on/off stats began โ nobody in the regular season has surpassed 8%
@shhhhoppp@RawnTheNotorius SGAโs playmaking was on point. Got to the line too.
Wemby controls the game defensively in a way that makes life so difficult for the opponent. And his gravity as a roller & spacer still helps his teammatesโ shot quality.
The best defensive rating in the playoffs is 103.6
The worst defensive rating in the playoffs is 127.2
They go from the best defense to the worst when he sits.
This is the best basketball player in the world
