I don't understand a lot (if not the majority) of sports fans' fascination with even numbers. Like batting .400, hitting 60 home runs a season, or recording a triple double (10/10/10), or the "30-5-5 club" as described in this thread there's always an arbitrariness that surrounds the hype of even-numbered statistics.

For example would a 11/10/9 game really be any more impressive than a 10/10/10 game? Or What about a 29-6-5 game compared to a 30-5-5? This is why i always take statistics at face value. Sure some statistics can be pretty telling but like I've always said they mean nothing without a proper explanation and the context to go with it.

This is why i'm sure me and a couple of the other 90s or earlier (starting) basketball fans always a little when a poster's entire post is "player x 30/7/8 :bow:
