but I guess it must be really hard for you to acknowledge that this team thriving because of Zion.
This is where you, and like-minded veer off course. Zion's play of late, while taking more on-ball responsibility, has elevated the team. He also, due primarily to conditioning could not until recently, perform at this level; never the less Pels were still a very good team. We'll all have an opportunity to see how this holds up as competition ramps up going into the playoffs. * I think the team will need to be more diverse
I'm just about done with the 2K crowd who don't understand the real game. The NBA's greatest teams/players are littered with inefficient shotmakers. Kobe, Pistol, Bird, The Pearl, Downtown Brown, Barry, Gervin, Dame, Steph, and Kyrie (did you see the off-hand game-winning sky hook from 18') make inefficient shots significantly greater than the mean. All were great players that contributed to great teams.

The difference between scoring efficiency from Steph to BI for their careers is similar to the difference between BI and Dyson.

If you think Brandon Ingram deserves to be mentioned with those names you need to seriously watch actual basketball. Ingram is not remotely close to any of those players. You insulted all those players by even mentioning Ingram in their category. Its not ok for Ingram to lean on inefficient shots because he is NOT close to those type of players! Why is that hard to understand? Shame on you for even insulting the great Pistol and Kobe like that.

I love Herb and Jose, but Zion by a mile. He is simply too much fun to watch, especially when he plays with Herb, Jose and Trey.

Well there you go again with the misreading, I did say shot efficiency not scoring efficiency. What differentiates, great player's scoring efficiency, is the volume of attempts/makes. That doesn't mean a 38' turnaround off a dribble, or a contested fade from behind the backboard, or a contested high-bank fading layup with english are efficient shots, just that those that make them at a significantly higher clip have been great players and played on great teams. Some folk don't have a real feel for the game and don't have a clear enough understanding of its' contribution to winning.

For sure you're not a reader too, were not Kobe and Pistol great inefficient and difficult shot makers?

For sure you’re a moron. BI is not remotely in the same universe as those players so saying they were great inefficient shot makers and saying its ok for BI to do that too it’s equally stupid. When BI can pass like Pistol Pete who is a hall of famer or be anything remotely close to Kobe- then yeah it makes sense for him to take inefficient shots. As one time all star who does nothing else at a peak level its silly to have his game focused on being great in taking inefficient shots. How can you not understand this???!!

Because comparing the best nba players of all time to BI makes logical sense and understanding the contribution to winning. Are you high???!!!

Well there you go again with the misreading,
quote:In your quote, I said shooting efficiency. Also, the fact that you don't realize that your point is still remarkably off base using shooting efficiency IS the point you're missing.
I did say shot efficiency not scoring efficiency
quote:Correct, why is why putting BI in a conversation with Steph or even Kyrie regarding volume of makes is wildly inaccurate and Aiken to comparing BI to bad shooters, that's how big the difference is.
What differentiates, great player's scoring efficiency, is the volume of attempts/makes

I've seen other post saying your unstable. I can now confirm. Cool thing though is we'll get great entertainment seeing how this plays out for the Pels. Good day to you.

Im unstable yet you’re comparing BI to Curry, Kobe and Pistol Pete. Grab a mirror buddy.

Herb jones is literally the formula for everyone’s fan favorite.
Late round draft pick sleeper that exceeds all expectations
Hustle and toughness but quiet demeanor
Durability
Defensive highlight reel
His impact on the game is magnified when you see him in person
