Kobe 2007

TS% and PER are just BS.

I haven't seen a person that can explain that 0.44 multiplier properly. Everyone defends TS%, says it's being used for eliminate technicals and and-ones. But noone care to calculate season by season the actual numbers for them. Even so-called analysts.

You realize calculating the 0.44 "properly" still has very miniscule results on the overall number, right? It's sorta irrelevant.

This is ridiculous. Makes it look so easy.

The only player that couldn't be constituted as great is Neil Johnson. Everyone else is a great player.

It's Neil Johnston*... Neil Johnson is another player.

And for what he did during his time (fg% titles I'm assuming helps his PER) production and accolades combined was pretty great. I'm guessing most judge it since it was accomplished in the 50's.

1st round exit.

I thought Kobe was all about the ships?

Yes 5 actually.

4 years before he raped a white girl
...
6 years later he led his stacked team to a 7th seed.

so he raped someone in 2011?

Yeah, if you count FTA as .50 of a true shot instead of .44 it yields very similar results. It's just used to estimate FTAs that don't take up extra possessions on a bigger sample size. If you use offensive or defensive rating to rank team offenses or defenses, then there shouldn't be any issue with TS%

he wanted to trade Bynum for Jason Kidd.

Sound like a good idea in retrospect.

7 different 50+ pt games in a 17 game stretch. Oh lawd.

[Cherry Picker]

Possible the greatest stretch of stat-padding ever.
