I wonder if things changed between them, but IIRC Shaq and Kareem did not get along in the early 2000s. Shaq said Kareem gave him the cold shoulder back in the day. That night Shaq scored 61 points on his bday vs the Clippers, Kareem was a developmental coach for Olowokandi I believe.

Congratulations to Ben Simmons for finally playing like he’s supposed to play and now averaging what you put up every year

Right. I think part of the resistance to analytics is that people focus too much on individual stats in isolation and don’t think about each stat being part of a larger package of data and analysis.
Like, I was included among the people getting jokes off about “potential assists”, but as

explained, when you look at how that stat goes up or down for a guy like Garland depending on who he’s on the floor with and game situations, it helps highlight patterns and does provide some information to help figure out how that player can be most effective.It also doesn’t help that a few of the most well know basketball “analysts” clearly don’t themselves really understand analytics and pass that lack of understanding on to casuals.

what more is there left to talk about? he's more polished, but he's the same guy as when he came into the league. a walking 16/8/8/2 that's terrified of putting up a shot outside of 10 ft.

To be clear - I fully understand we know what Zion and Luka are capable of; however, my statement was largely based on the fact that Melo is only 19 and could be just as sensational by Year 3. That’s all. Sure, it’s an extrapolation of his current talent and production but EYE wouldn’t call it a hot take. Mild? Perhaps but it’s certainly takes a projection of Melo’s talent in ones mind.
I’m not taking Melo so this doesn’t matter but I’m explaining what I believe dudes rationale to be and I see where he is coming from.

right. these "new-age" stats seem goofy at first, but they just tell small parts of the story. my biggest issue with the analytics movement is what some have referenced as the "gentrification of basketball", but that's a separate conversation to have.

Sixers lost the other day, but Ben Simmons hit a 3 in OT after the game was out of reach so it was almost like a win

I just want this thread to spread the slander more evenly. Lakers had their slump with AD and Schroder out and yall had jokes and took LeBron out the mvp race. Meanwhile embiid was shooting 26% during the same stretch and the clippers went 8-7 in February. Lakers still the 2 seed. But I digress

People jumping off the porch with Melo is over or in the same category as Zion/Luka already takes.

He's always been clowned for his scoring/shooting and lack of improvement in that area. Has his playmaking/defense been questioned?
