What are the weirdest stats or stat lines you have seen or read about that has puzzled you? This may not be high up there but seeing Zydrunas' rebounds stat in Wednesday's game against Atlanta was flat out weird to me..... He had 13 total rebounds but the weird part was that 12 of those rebounds were at the offensive end. Now 12 OREB and 1 DREB (see link below) is not a usual combination. Anyone come to mind for you? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=250216005
What about 0 mins but 5 fouls? that's a bit exaggerating, but I think I saw something similar before.
Bubba Wells. March 12, 1956 Dick Farley of Syracuse fouled out after playing just five minutes, the fastest disqualification in NBA history, in a game against St. Louis. Farley’s record stood for more than 41 years until Bubba Wells of the Dallas Mavericks fouled out in three minutes against the Chicago Bulls December 29, 1997.
Didn't Ray Allen have a game this year where he scored 14 points but made exactly 0 field goals? He was like 0-11 from the floor, but had lots of free throws. I think it was Ray Allen.
If JVG hadn't always jerked Boki after two quick fouls, he'd have that record by now. JVG was holding Boki back.
maybe not the weirdest, but one of the worst... 2/16 Andre Miller 30 min. 2 pts. 1 assist 4 turnovers nice job by a starting PG...
I saw the big Z box score this morning in the paper and at first i was like 12 boards and 13 assists, crazy! then i looked and saw it was 12 off boards, 13 total and I was like how does a guy rebound 12 offensive boards and then snag just one defensive? I'm sure silas didnt mind 12 offensive boards is amazing. maybe i am forgettign but didnt nick anderson one season shoot better from 3 land than the ft line? i know there was another player like that i just cant remember who. edit: also stockon in his first all star game (one of the earlier ones my memory is horrible these days) only played like 30 minutes but had 17 assists and 13 tos. it was the one in houston and freakin karla got MVP in that one I was soo pissed
yeah, hamilton leading his team in scoring without hitting a single shot has to be one of the crazier ones i've ever heard. i guess it would have to be since it's the only time it ever happened. and the bubba wells thing, that was when nelson (was he their coach then?) had him purposely fouling rodman every single possession. i guess that's the kind of thing you get famous for when your name is bubba wells.
I remeber Menk Bateer collect all his six fouls pretty quickly in some game when he played for Denver.
