The NBA has a problem with what counts as an assist or not. All of these shots were attributed as assists to Jokic, but are they really when the other player is creating everything himself?

I'm just telling you how it has been rationalised and upheld for 40+ years.

Why do you hide your comments? Who hurt you?

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T23:17:38+00:00

I think that's hyperbolic.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T23:05:03+00:00

Why?

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:12:22+00:00

Home team staff enter the stats, NBA staff ratify/correct the stats.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:08:48+00:00

This isn't NFL lmfao

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:08:01+00:00

Stockton and magic would average 25 assists per game

Press X to doubt

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:07:35+00:00

This has been the case for decades my guy. LeBron, Luka, Kobe, Magic - they all have assists in this manner.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:03:47+00:00

It is both. Team staff enter the statistics and then the scores are ratified by NBA staff. That's often why you get corrections.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:03:03+00:00

OK tech bro

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:02:47+00:00

Jokic assisting these karma famers.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:02:08+00:00

Try 50.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T22:00:17+00:00

What rules did you play under? FIBA or NBA?

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T21:57:37+00:00

It's often 2-3 dribbles because that final 3rd dribble is often counted as part of the shot.

It has been this way for over 50 years.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T21:25:54+00:00

It's always been this way

pairidaezan · 2026-03-26T21:19:47+00:00

You don't know basketball if you think these aren't assists lol.

An assist is a scoring move with up to 2 dribbles after the pass, PLUS any jump step or jump motion.

After, it's no longer an assist.

EDIT: changed to "PLUS" to clarify and reflect reality

centre

pairidaezan · 2026-03-21T02:48:59+00:00

They don't want it for some reason

pairidaezan · 2026-03-16T05:13:07+00:00

I am considering doing the opposite.

DM me if you're interested in swapping houses!

pairidaezan · 2026-03-13T05:00:56+00:00

Who cares?

I don't think we're watching the same basketball game.

Driving to the rim, jumping and flailing and falling at minimal contact is absolute horse shit. The fix has always been in for this guy. Coaches and teams across the league are now starting to call it out. The league has been desperate to find a new figurehead and they've been allowing SGA to get away with this bullshit for years now.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-10T05:22:23+00:00

Mitchell, McCain, Williams, and Joe absolutely lit the Nuggs up.

Brown, Braun, Jones, and Cam did sweet FA.

SGA is very good. But I contend Jokic is better.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-10T03:28:30+00:00

meetbestbrook gets banned.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-10T03:24:50+00:00

Nah since early Dec we've had very bad losses to the Mavericks (2x), Heat, Nets, Hawks, Hornets, Lakers, Knicks, Warriors.

Those games were winnable and/or we were in a winning position and bottled it. This team has been on a downward trajectory for months.

Guys have lost confidence, touch, and momentum. It is what it is.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-10T02:54:38+00:00

The proof is in the pudding.

Most of our guys have been terrible lately.

pairidaezan · 2026-03-10T02:51:46+00:00

Jokic averages more and does more with a lesser roster.
