    We didn't count blocks in the good old days.

    Yeah saw this. Instead of that guy calculating JJJ's home vs away stats, he should have did what Kirk G. did and gone through video footage of any of the miscounts, and that would have been more compelling.

    On the process itself...

    "Official scorers actually don't handle stats like this. They handle fouls. NBA reviews stats like blocks and steals in real time.

    Each team has inputters/callers, which are different than official scorers. One of the callers who's at the game with a headset will have input with tracking stats in real time."

    After the data is called in, sounds like they have reviewers (more different people) to validate.

    all this fake manufactured conspiracy did is make JJJr look even more impressive on defense because now everyone sat down and went through his film

    he really is just that guy on defense

    hell, they might actually be underreporting his blocks and steals on the road

    And the 80's how else would Hakeem be the All-Time block leader.

    it’s sad that that fake, manufactured controversy actually got a little bit of traction

    JJJr is just that guy

    I like the double conspiracy that it was actually a Memphis fan that put up that first post just to get people to go through JJJ's tape and acknowledge how awesome he is. He's actually been even better since then. 100% DPOY.
