Its funny that in a free throw discussion, I never once brought up Harden and even admitted that he is phenomenal at getting to the line. I believe I said so TWICE.

The argument has been and always been a jump shooter like Devin Booker should in no way shape or form get as many FT attempts as LeBron James who lives in the lane, fact.

Also a player drawing a foul is great, which happens often when AD/Cousins are held before a shot or when they're trying to move which gets called. The issue isn't that, its the lack of shooting fouls that that weren't called during that 9 game stretch for AD. He was literally shoved mid-air by a SA player multiple times and the whistle was never called, that's a shooting foul, sorry.

AD for the year attempted 8 FTs per game, yet during that stretch he attempted less than 5 per game. He didn't settle for jump shots either, he lived in the paint.

Pelicans during the year, they attempted 22 FT per game, during that stretch it was something like 14 FT per game. Someone brought up, well boogie being out is going to do that for you, which is fair and true. But every game up til that 9 game stretch, Pelicans still averaged 18-19 FT per game and AD still averaged his season average.

There was a valid 25% FTA drop for the team and roughly 40% for AD.

Lebron is a bully. When you are that big and strong a foul that may deter a booker would not deter Lebron. So sometimes you get No whistle. Shaq had the same issues. As have several other players. It is what it is. The nba refs are the best basketball refs in the world. Just like the players are. They do a great job. It’s HARD to referee nba players. Blaming the refs when the team loses is a bitch move.

He never did give us a breakdown. It was quite embarrassing for him. Just like when he claims to know X and O’s of basketball.

What he owes a certain Spurs fan
Breakdown
1 on 1 game
Medical documentation of the concussion other than his ridiculous claims

Alright Mr. Hotshot. Let's put a grand on this.

Ah yes. Bc tom brady wife didn’t say he has concussions, but he still plays every week.

But that is neither here nor there. concussion or not he wasn’t the harden that we know. He wasn’t himself.

"When the team buys in..."

"The Harden that we know..."

Keep introducing these measurable things.

The frick are you talking about? "The Harden that we know" and "when D'Antoni's teams buy in" are not measurable things, but you keep bringing them up.

Fun stat that no one is really talking about: When Jrue Holiday is the Holiday that we know, the Pelicans are undefeated. It's a truly remarkable stat.
