Getting votes and actually getting selected are two very different things.
Fair enough, thank you for sharing your own insights.
That's funny, because the notion that Jeremy Lin voters are voting for him based on his play on the court over his ethnicity is hilarious to me.
The distinction is that nobody really cares who starts for these teams, it's always considered honor enough just to be on the team itself. The...
You're being too hard on him. It's just a typical rookie mistake. Dwight will learn how to control the shots he blocks by his second or third...
That's why I chose my own stupid, misleading advanced metric instead of yours. In this case, it was Tiago Splitter's win shares per 48 minutes,...
You need to figure out what an example used to undercut absurd reasoning looks like. All the other players who are better than Jeremy Lin and who...
What people lose sight of with the "what harm is there in fans voting on what the fans want to see" reasoning is that this is about more than just...
I don't think that "caution" does a good enough job disclaiming the absurd reasoning behind your original post. I don't think it's you...
Shades of 2011, when Yao Ming was selected to the team through fan voting despite playing in just 5 games while averaging a paltry 10 points and 5...
Yeah, not in the least. http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=linje01&y1=2013&p2=dragigo01&y2=2013...
In fairness, it's a remarkably dumb stat.
Read the OP. He's trying to argue that Jeremy Lin "deserves" to be an all-star based on merit, not popularity. And since that isn't actually true,...
Absurd. You know something is fishy when a good case can't be made for a player using anything but constructive (legal term for "made up") per 48...
After the Lakers' home loss to the Nuggets last night, it would not surprise me if a Gasol trade finally gets green lit, in a desperate bid by the...
I actually like that you've suggested the Magic as a potential trade partner. They still have a glut of guards and swingmen who can shoot, left...
There's a chance Dwight Howard will not play pending the results of an MRI on his re-aggravated shoulder. That or he's just straight-up ducking...
The thing about those contracts is that they're not that onerous considering Sacramento's position. The Maloofs are such cheap idiots that they...
Seems pretty unfounded. It's unclear where you get this idea, since most of Cousins' paltry 2.7 assists come from him flipping the ball to a wing...
We can ignore what Cousins is worst at and focus on what he's supposedly best at if you'd like. I don't think anyone questions his rebounding...
