Steve Nash?

Isn't he in the senior leagues?

Z Bo?

He's gotta be up their.

They actually have stats on dunks. MWP had 8 last year and Z-Bo had 16, but Z-Bo had more than twice as many FGs around the rim.

I am asking for quality, not quantity.

Right, but if you're 6' 9" and get 8 dunks in a season, we can pretty well guess that they aren't quality.

I was thinking from a "can barely jump high enough without a height disadvantage" perspective.

Excited about Thunder-Trail Blazers tonight.

Interesting stat, KD leads the league in offensive pts per play, and has allowed the fewest pts per play as the primary defender of any perimeter player.

What are these stats you speak of? You hate stats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is incredibly interesting though. Is KD now the best player in the league?

Lol I only hate them when they don't benefit my argument, duh. And when they are the only thing someone argues.

I was surprised by it. He's playing the best that's for sure, does that make him the best? Idk LBJ seems to be in cruise control right now, I'll wait till playoff time when everyone's intensity kicks up 7 notches.

Some knucklehead writer for ESPN, said Harden is the new Melo...a ball stopper. SMH

Me too, but I'll have to stream it. My cable company doesn't have NBA TV.

76ers were the 2nd team in history to lose back to back games by over 40 pts.

I can't link it, but there's an amazing article from Bleacher Report about the Bobcats and Steve Clifford's strategies.

Do they usually give him a tough assignment? Seems like they'd want to give him the easiest assignment possible with how much they rely on him for offense, more specifically, shooting.

Thabo generally gets the better perimeter player, he gets around 27 minutes a game. Just going off watching I'd say KD guards the best sg/SF 14-18 minutes a game. Honestly though he probably does the best job of guarding the opposing best player, he's really learned how to use his length on the defensive end. But as you said he's asked to do so much right now, he can't guard the best player for 40 minutes. Still a pretty impressive stat.
