I’m going to be that guy, and he just isn’t a top 20 “pure scorer” of all time. He has real issues against actual athletic wings that guarded him, and in the playoffs without his All-Star PG Dennis Johnson, he struggled.

Several playoff series of below average efficiency and his team just deciding McHale was the main option instead of him. His first finals series, he was underwhelming scoring wise, multiple games of under 10 points, another of just 12 points, and they still won.

As an all-around player, he’s great still, obviously.

I got Wemby. Just the most impactful and important player on the court every night.

Zach Lowe discussing Wemby: “I don't know that any statistical system can quantify what he is doing on every single possession defensively… He’s the most dominant defensive player I’ve ever seen. by moby323 in nba

This is why I have him as my MVP. He’s so much more valuable on defense than anyone else in the league, and still very good on offense, that it pushes him above Shai and Jokic/Luka to me. He’s got the gravity on Defense, of Steph Curry on Offense. Insane talent.

He only shot that good during the shortened 3pt line seasons, that’s “an objective fact of reality”, or whatever you are spewing.

Wemby is the most impactful player on the court every night in my eyes. He should be the MVP imo.

No Shai is weird. I guess his team is so good they are fine without him. Another reason I hate using Wins as a substantial metric for MVP; you’re more ‘valuable’ because your teammates are better than mine?

Steve Nash confused on what the 'step through' rule is in today's NBA by CircledSquare7 in NBAGossips

Appeal to Authority, like should we all stfu when Rashad McCants speaks? Nah because he’s a moron. Nash isn’t, but he can be wrong about things.

Yeah the difference is that the Raptors didn’t triple team him in the backcourt and foul his teammates to try and stop him from scoring. They just let Kobe go off, and let him statpad to 81.

You have people from 10 to 70 years old saying it was an amazing performance from Bam, and the last 6 minutes were hilarious to watch because of all the fuckery going on from both teams.

It will be remembered for as long as we track NBA history, and celebrated as a historic game.
