    Are these statistics the road to the championship? I think not.

    I guess this was too subtle...

    I'm amazed it got to the point where I had to post something like that.

    I guess no one else appreciated this thread, so here's a little more food for thought. Aside from Marcus Williams of the Spurs, who played a grand total of 3 minutes in 08/09, there were only 6 players in the NBA last season who posted each of the following:

    - Turnover percentage of 9.5 or lower
    - True shooting percentage of .541 or higher
    - Usage percentage of 23.6 or higher.

    Those 6 players? Brandon Roy, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Redd, Jason Terry, Antawn Jamison, and you-know-who.

    And just think about what those stats mean for a second.

    - USG% measures how often you end your team's possession, either by turning the ball over, by taking a shot, or by going to the foul line.
    - TOV% measures how often you end your team's possession by turning the ball over.
    - TS% measures what you do when you take a shot or go to the foul line.

    I'd say that's a pretty telling trio of statistics.
