incorrect, link the post where i said that and I'll paypal you $100. if you can't link it ban yourself for the rest of the day.

I said Dwight effect doesn't matter when Aldridge is draining midrange shots. Obviously Dwight effect is forcing teams to take midrange shots instead of shots at the rim. When the midrange shots are going in, Dwight effect is negated.

Wrong. The effect that that study is on is not without effect for mid-range shots. The whole point is that your other 4 defenders and their offense plays differently based on who's under the rim. Aldridge can be guarded more aggressively if his man knows that he has Larry Sanders at the rim if he goes by him.

This is from the study:

We define “The Dwight Effect” as the ability of an interior defender to reduce the efficiency of an opponent’s shooting behavior.

So if efficiency is what we're looking for he doesn't allow the least amount of points per shot defended and he allows a one of the highest 3pt percentages.

Also, here are opponents overall field goal percentage in decimal format of the shots defended by the players in the study. Looking at this you see that he's still not the best at reducing FG%, he ranks 13th.

Larry Sanders 0.356576
Roy Hibbert 0.365428
Serge Ibaka 0.374979
Elton Brand 0.37871
Kosta Koufos 0.384955
Jermaine O'Neal 0.388027
Nick Collison 0.417521
Kendrick Perkins 0.418812
Nene Hilario 0.419393
LaMarcus Aldridge 0.421255
Marc Gasol 0.424404
Joakim Noah 0.4252
Dwight Howard 0.42579
Nazr Mohammed 0.426683

You know why no one wants to put a bet with you, because you never stick to your end of the bargain when you LOSE.

It was - not to post on PT, but we see you ALL the time posting, only to edit.

It was:
PT: AD is a good defender, he puts up good blocks, blah blah

Boom: Dwight is a better defender, i.e. Dwight Effect, so he doesn't get block #s, blah blah.

PT: AD can defend everywhere unlike Dwight, blah blah

Boom: Dwight has a better rating, blah blah, dwight effect

PT: Insert long post of Dwight not being that great outside of 5ft or whatever

Boom: Well...LMA drained 17ft jumpers so Dwight Effect is useless

PT: Exactly, dwight isn't a superior all around defender

Boom: BUT BUT, DWIGHT EFFECT.

PT: Defense isn't just 5ft in

Boom: LOLOL tell me when AD does something Dwight has done.

Circles all day.
