    Wait - how does this even make sense? How does Dwight have "1.0 championships added" with zero actual rings while Olajuwon has 1.6 to show for the 2 actual titles he won. The numbers are clearly weighted in the wrong place.....besides, it seems like he is re-inventing the wheel. There already is a metric for titles added and it's called, "how many rings do they actually have?"

    Bball is a lot harder to understand for casual fans than nfl. Nfl is much more specialized and specific. Every position is more compartmentalized in the nfl as a general rule of thumb.

    Basketball is a lot more synergetic. Its holistic and rythymic. A lot of people sound dumb when they try to parse it up.

    Biggest robbery of regular season MVP happened in 1994:

    Hakeem - 27.3 PPG, 11.9 RPG, 3.6 APG, 1.6 SPG, 3.7 BPG, .565 TS%, 25.3 PER, .210 WS/48
    Robinson - 29.8 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 4.8 APG, 1.7 SPG, 3.3 BPG, .602 TS%, 30.7 PER, .296 WS/48

    Hakeem should've declined and gave it to Robinson tbh

    Well to be honest, Robinson did have the better Naval career...

    Egg ball is for the low IQ uneducated masses, majority of them being high school dropouts and gulping big macs and cream soda all day while weighing about 25 stone

    Basketball is for the educated working class, all of whom have 4 year college degrees and contribute to society in an impactful way

    In proper functioning mind land, any time you create a "metric" that produces absurd responses, you discard it as an error

    In media click bait land, you publish it to create clickbait

    Which brings me to the thought, why are you linking the actual article? i can understand the complaint, but rewarding unethical journalism is just creating more of it.

    WTH is a regular season championships added stat?

    Regular season plus championships where regular season accolades outweigh?

    2 MVPs vs. 1 MVP and more NBA seasons under his belt.

    Now they are picking on him because he was not with the Naval Academy and was a foreigner coming into the league.

    I have the utmost respect for the Admiral and he did help shape what Duncan would become later on but not this.
