Enter Basketball Reference and update yourself. The stats are there waiting for you

I no see am, show me

A40:
No! He is not better anything, he is simply going closer to the rim. And his 3P % is still down so he has not even improved as a shooter. Try again

I'd believe you if you showed me stats supporting your claim.

A40:
What does having to be an A-lister have to do with anything?

Is this the first time someone got clapped for saying or trying to say too much? There is evidence that he was concerned about his safety.

Why not? What good would he be alive to the folks that might want him dead? Whatever attention it brings at the very least a message has been passed


There is no conclusive proof that Orlando was the gunman. He was alive for a full 2 years after Pac died and he was never charged for anything

Again you're reaching. There is no proof Suge killed Biggie. And if he did the question then should be why was he a free man?

However way you spin it someone out there isn't doing their jobs. It's pretty common knowledge that one of the easiest ways to get away with a crime is to kill a black rapper.

He had been banging since his teenage years. How come it's when this documentary started that he felt the need to stress that his life was under any form of threat?

You know the drill, it's all gangbanging.

A40:
Duhh. He's taking more shots at the rim and more importantly converting at a higher clip. 47% of his 2P shots came from the rim compared to 40% last year.

So basically it took him taking more shots at the rim to increase his 2P% while his 3pt shooting has gotten worse. So how has he been better with LeNomad? Especially as a 3pt shooter

He is better because his overall FG% has gone up, simple. We can go on nitpicking stats till we get tired.

A40:
It improved from 42.6 to 43.3. Lmaooooo some improvement.

Ohhhh and by the way KCP shot 38% from 3 last year. He's only shooting 35% this year. Since we're nitpicking stats like Beans

And his 2P% increased from 47% to 55%. He can't eat his cake and have it bro.

A40:
Lmaooo Reggie Bullock says Hi

You know, in a group of people, there's always that one person who refuses to improve no matter what. That's Bullock

A40:
How many shots is he taking per game? That's what you should be looking at not the minutes. Unless there is a sharp drop in the number of shots he is taking then your argument is not accurate. If he's playing 48 minutes and taking the same number of shots as he did in 23 mins then same ni

Lol. I admire the way you never give up in an argument. Well, here it is...his FGA dropped from 10.8 last year to 8.3, so that's a significant drop. And if you consider the fact that his FG% improved from last year, you have to say he's much better this year.

A40:
Shooters like KCP are mostly boom or bust. It doesn't matter if you pair them with John Stockton or Magic. One day he's Klay Thompson the next game he goes full bricko mode.

What are KCP's averages? He is a career 11ppg guy scoring 10ppg this season at a 43% clip so what is playing for LeNomad doing to his career?

The outliers prove my point. KCP gets his numbers on a good night LeNomad or no LeNomad so stop attaching credit to LeNomad when he plays well. Simple

When you want to use statistics to describe a player, it's best you use it fully. All of KCP's career he's been a starter. He's averaging 10ppg this season because his minutes has greatly diminished, coming off the bench for 23 mins pg down from 33 mins pg last year. He averaged 13 ppg last year and the year before. Now, if you're a good mathematician, you'll know that 10ppg in 23 mins is an improvement on 13ppg in 33 mins.

YulisCromwell:
Look at this sh.it

We can't have both Mo and Zubac. And Mo is a better prospect than Zubac. Take that to the bank.

A40:
Remind me their record since LeNomad's return please

I'll remind you their record before his injury, 20-14.

Just a reminder about the LeBron James effect. KCP went from 7 points without the king to scoring 25 points with him playing. LeBron James makes everyone better, PERIOD.

Lol. Watching Will Cain host First Take yesterday felt like a lion in a cage that can't get to meat right in front of him. He was just watching Stephen A. and Max talk and was itching to talk but couldn't because he was the host

A40:
Nonsense! What's their record since he returned. I refuted the notion because this nonsense you people do and give LeNomad all the credit when things go well and shift the blame to the teammates when things go South needs to die.

KCP a well known streaky player scores 35 and reverts to mean the next day and next thing it's because LeNomad didn't play as if LeNomad playing guarantees a win in Utah

Him playing doesn't guarantee a win, it just guarantees better performances. Simple

A40:
Ugggggh. Nothing to do with the fact that it's the 2nd night of a back to back in Utah of all places. And you wonder why people troll with glee when LeNomad loses. As if Bron was not there when same team lost to the Knicks and Suns. Smh

I'm just talking strictly player performance here. Honestly everybody plays like crap when the king ain't playing. No leadership, everyone seems confused.

Roland17:
I don't mean to act all sanctimonious about celebrations, but that one was exaggerated and over the top especially if you consider "Born Ready" trapped Green's right leg with his own. I mean, compare that to CP3's cross over that sent D.J Wilson on an errand on the court.

Man, Green was already having it before his foot got trapped.

KCP goes from scoring 35 points while playing with LeBron, to scoring 7 without him. What is it they say about this LeBron man?

Roland17:
That celebration was disgraceful to watch, how the entire Lakers bench did not get a technical for stepping on the court is beyond me. I think that is the highlight of their season sufficient enough for them to bring some sort of closure.

Dude, why u acting like the Lakers are the first team to celebrate a good play. Every other team does it, that's the joy of the game, those special moments.

A40:
He stepped on his foot bruhhhhh. Anyway no need to bash the highlight of the Lakers season

Look at the bench shamelessly celebrating like they won Game 7. A crying disgrace

Lol. Haters gon hate.

YulisCromwell:
Ohhh seems we have ourselves a boffin here, or could it be naismiths reincarnation? FOH dummy, all insults with not one single proper take on basketball yet you are questioning someones intellect. Seems this fella is too humble to go into a war of words with you, I am not.

Oh and what the hell kind of a stupid name is yomi? Lol, a stupid name for a stupid stupid man!

I've heard a lot about you FAM. These mofos have been ganging up against me. Glad to have you back. Just know that you're not alone on the Lebron train.

Still watching that Lance Stephenson crossover on Jeff Green. Damn. That's what you call the Lance dance. R.I.P Jeff Green

yomi96:
mumu boy, them dey correct you,you dey form keypad warrior. Typical of shallow lbj fans, the moment they exhaust their stock of sophistry,they result in name calling and vituperations. Guy watching 1st take and undisputed no mean say you know basketball ooo. When next people are correcting you, keep shut and listen.

If you sabi bball why u no dey work for ESPN of FOX, since na u be d king of basketball. Or u for get your own website, it's cheap. U come here come dey form local champion. Shift one side jare.

I wonder how a single player can have this much hate.

yomi96:
dude, you sound intelligent,yet you are dumb, quite riding his D, you claim to be a fan of lbj and did not know he said so when he was been interviewed with his friends last year? If you were close to me i would have slaped that your empty brain. I wonder how people close to you, cope with you. Your level of ignorance and itk is legendary

Yomi or whatever that your stupid name is. I can see you have no home training for you to come up here talking trash to me. I might have said some annoying things on this platform but I sure haven't directly insulted anyone. If you don't like what you see, you pass. This is social media, don't let it get to you. I was made for LeBron haters like you. I'll keep defending him how ever the f*uck I want and you can go and die if you don't like it. F*uck off here.

*P.S. I'm a Laker fan, and I support whoever the f*uck is on my team, even if KD and Curry come tomorrow.

Pls o, can anybody here remember the time LeBron James called himself the G.O.A.T? Because I'm confused.

Hardetayour:
and Nick Wright. Someone that probably has a picture of LeBron on his boxers and singlet. He eats, sleeps and drinks LeBron.

Lol. Don't be offended if he does. Show me one sport analyst who idolizes any other player the way LeBron gets Idolizes.

SmooshCHN:
Max Kellerman says it,
Shannon Sherpe says it,
Nick Wright says it,
You see where I'm going with this?
There's a similar trend with this. Notice how all over them are the worst sports analyst on the Media when it comes to basketball?

Worst sports analysts? Are you gearing yourself? They're the best in the world and they wouldn't be there if they were crap.

Damn! LeBron is still the best player in the league. Still got it at 34. Can't wait for next year. Max Kellerman says it, Shannon Sharpe says it, Skip Bayless' heart feels it but he doesn't say it, Stephen A. Smith knows it but still disputes it from time to time. Who are we mere mortals to argue with that?

Eruditor:
The Celtics own the Sixers. Even the most recent Sixers win felt more like Celtics choking than the other way around. They led that game all through till the last few mins. Trust me when I say, they OWN the sixers.

Let's not underestimate this Sixer's team o. Especially with the addition of Tobias. Man, no team would want to play Sixer's.

aliondo:
Nuggets are hovering around 1st and 2nd in the West....Spurs are hovering around 7th and 8th...

If both teams meet in the 1st round in the playoff series,which of them will be your choice to go forth to the next round?

Spurs no doubt, plainly because they got more talent. The Celtics got talent but man for man, I think the Sixer's got this one.

aliondo:
Playoff games and regular season are two different things....

Don't write them off.....

I'll take Sixer's and Bucks over the Celtics.

Decale:
You need cane...

If you make more of your 3 points and attempt less than the others, does that mean they're reliant on 3 points? Izz dar nor Curry and Klay's problem?

How do you now explain the fact that they have score more 2 pointers and second in midrange than the whole NBA? Shei na 3 pointers be that?


How do you now explain even with their efficiency on 3 pointers, they still make less than 7 teams? Waiting for your analogy...

You're saying this as if they attempt way less than the rest of the teams. Apart from Rockets that attempt 44 per game, Bucks on second attempt 38. GS attempt 34.
And in terms of 3pt made per game, they're 3rd behind Rockers and Bucks only.
To put this into perspective, for GS their 2pt rate per game is 61%, putting them 22nd in the league in terms of 2pointers. Which means they shoot 3s 39% of the time, putting them at 8. You might think 8th is quite low but when u consider that there are 30 teams in the NBA, and also consider their 3pt made per game which is the most important of all the stats concerning 3s, you'll see why I made my comment.

Eruditor:
Baba, my own is, I don't want OKC or Spurs in the first round. I have already decommissioned myself from the regular season. Not like I fear both teams but they will stress GSW for a round 1 game.

I still think the regular culprits will make it from the west and east so my money is still on Celts vs GSW. But both teams especially Celts will face slugfests before the finals. They own the Sixers but Bucks and Raptors will be very tough depending on when/if they meet. As for GSW, Rockets still look like the biggest issue but less so than last season.

Lol. Celtics are not even in the conversation this year.
