It's the leading basketball stats website. Plus argue against the content of what I posted. Unlike you who cherry picked certain stats to advance an agenda. I simply posted every advanced stat that the leading basketball stats website has listed. And when looking at those stats, the numbers are clear. Anthony Davis led the Lakers is most statistical categories.

You’re the one that’s been arguing stats don’t matter and you’re a fool if you use them. The same metrics you posted Jokic kills AD in, so which is it?

In the weak Eastern Conference. The same conference in which Jimmy Butler recently led 2 Heat teams to the Finals without another superstar. And in which Kawhi in his only season on the Raptors won a championship.

Since coming out West LeBron has missed the playoffs more often than he has made the Finals. The fugazi east is the only reason LeBron made it far with those teams. In the Western Conference those Cavs teams would have been eliminated in the first round.

Interesting comment that i agree with..so in your opinion how many (legit) championships do you think LeBron has?…minus the bubble championship…

I'm not doing it for my benefit. It's called using your opponent's own argument against them. It's a very effective debating strategy. Now I'm ready to hear you tell me why stats don't matter after making stats the bedrock of your earlier argument.

He's got 3 championships. But all 3 were with super teams where he should have won. And his failures in 2011 and 2014 with the Heat are finals losses I personally don't see Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant having. Kobe in 2008 beat the Spurs coming off a championship coming with just Pau Gasol. If he has D-Wade and Bosh I don't see him losing to an older Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and young Kawhi. Plus we all know 2011 is the most inexcusable loss by a superstar in NBA history.

Funny thing is, this is VERY plausible. There is a solid chance that CRB will retire after this season, given his comments about ZZ and his age. Not to mention that DW and Oats have the connection from Buffalo.

I wouldn’t be against this move. But I also think claiming a well connected source is like saying a well connected source told me there’s a chance of rain tomorrow. It’s pretty much common sense DW would look at Oats given he’s a hot commodity with what he’s done at Bama and their connection. However, based on DW’s track record of hiring up and comers, I also don’t think he goes after Oats that hard unless there’s real interest from the Oats camp.

I could definitely see it. Barnes has been coaching what 40 years? And like you the comments he made about ZZ, I could easily see Barnes giving it up after this year.

Oates has ties to DW. I would love to have Oates. The great thing is when Barnes does leave, he will leave the program in fantastic shape. We are now an elite college basketball job.

I wouldnt be against it either, everyone know’s barnes time is about up, and I think that’s effecting recruiting as well. Bama has been recruiting well in basketball ever since Oats arrived, and Oats would make sense for us to look at

For sure, I think it’s a realistic possibility we look at oats when Barnes retires

Prayers first for @UTProf or anyone else in need.
Happy Choose Day

February 4, 2025: You are still recovering from events that you had no control over. But, this day is a new day with renewed possibilities. Take the next step in moving forward, and leave the past behind. What was done is done. You cannot change the past, but there is a lot you can do today, tomorrow, and following. Begin again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
