    His assist averages would most likely be good for a big man as well. Here's a projection of mine of what I think Bill could have averaged in today's game.

    15 ppg 50% shooting
    13 rpg
    4 apg
    2.5 bpg
    1.4 spg

    Of course, this is all just speculation.

    Yeah, I may have overestimated his point totals. Glad you agree on everything else, though. :)

    I have no fascination with you, sorry to burst a bubble. I had a question, you gave me an answer then and I left it at there.

    I am weird. I'm not disturbed in the least though. By the way, is there a problem with someone being weird? It has to be a cultural thing, but where I live 'weird' is something on the neighborhood of 'strange' and not 'like everyone else' and is neither a compliment nor a bad thing. Is being weird a bad thing in the US?

    And no, I don't think you are a bad guy.

    Kobe was brought up a few times in this thread. All his mentions have one thing in common: It was always someone else bringing him into the conversation, not me.


    Sure you are
    I sure am. I'm here for two things:

    1) fun
    2) to take a closer look at the way of thinking

    Basketball is a nice topic, because the way of thinking goes way beyond the certain issue (basketball) and at the same time the topic itself is entertaining and not very serious.

    So trust me: I'm here to know HOW you guys think. As for WHAT you think... not that important to me. If you listen to me you think whatever you want.

    He was. But he wasn't as overrated as Kobe is now.

    Still, his own damn teammate had more finals mvp's than him, and no other player has ever had a teammate with as many season mvp's either.
    Kareem was robbed of the 1980 Finals MVP. Magic had an incredible Game 6, but Kareem was the reason the Lakers were up 3-2 in the first place: 33.4 points on 54.9 percent shooting, 13.6 rebounds, 4.6 blocked shots and 3.2 assists in 40.6 minutes per game through the first five games. 40 points on 16-for-24 shooting (66.7%), 15 rebounds and four blocked shots in 41 minutes in a 103-103 Game 5 win.

    Can the Finals MVP be shared between two players? If so, then it should have been done in this case. As good as Kareem's numbers were, Magic's game 6 was amazing. How many times in NBA history has a rookie point guard switched to center for a game six and then lead his team to victory minus their team captain?

    MJ=greatest there ever was and probably ever will be and anyone old enough to have seen in person knows that and anyone whose balls haven't dropped yet will argue that its not true because
    #1 they did not see
    #2 there ball have not dropped and their IQ is a little weak.
