    I was joking about the writer's mistake, where they wrote "career average of 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds a season" instead of "career average of 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds a game".

    Huh? If you average 1.8 pts a game then that's your average for the entire season.

    Can't believe I'm really doing this so people will understand me.

    He's averaging 59.16 points and 44.16 rebounds a season.

    I was just making a freaking joke on the guy's wording. He said the averages were "a season" instead of "a game".

    Has anyone noticed the similarity that D.J. Mbenga has to the late tyrranical ruler of Uganda, Idi Amin? To refresh your memory:

    I understood what you meant, don't see how anyone else can't understand.

    The Nuggets gain is the Coney Island Freak Show's loss.

    This makes Carmelo expendable.

    :confused: Maybe you meant he had TOTALS of 59.16 pts and 44.16 rebs for the season? But even then it doesn't make sense because you have .16 pts and .16 rebs? :confused:

    To get the AVERAGE for the season you get his average per game for the entire season.

    How did you compute his average of 59.16 pts and 44.16 rebs for a season? That would mean every game he'll have 59 pts and 44 rebs.

    The author said those were his career averages per season, not per game. I understand how averages work, and I understand what the author meant, I was just poking fun at a weird wording.

    No offense, but if you knew how averages work you won't say DJ Mbenga averaged 56 pts and 44 rebs a season.

    I'm not a moron. I was taking his career stats and averaging season totals, not per game totals. Do you understand now? If it were baseball, you could say a guy averages a hit per game, or 162 hits per season. The author just made a mistake with his wording and I was making a subtle joke.

    You know, maybe the people here are joking with Preston27 (I hope so), but I think DJ Mbenga himself would have understood and enjoyed the original little joke.

    This article was poorly worded in several places. I found myself rereading some sentences a few times before I could figure out what the author meant.
