reggie belongs on the list imo if he played in the current era his stats would be crazy. you could make not just the historical figure argument (which i think is important — you can’t tell a history of 90s nba without him, which is true of john starks too but reggie’s skill level rises to a certain level) but also that he was a player ahead of his time who predicted where the game would go

isn’t the problem with dwight not just that ppl don’t like him but that his peak was actually pretty short? he was done as an elite player at age 29, for an all time great player to not have any impact into their 30s is pretty rare. does anyone remember what team dwight was on when he was 31 years old? (the hawks). if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list — same as dikembemutumbo & vince carter but also steve nash & dave cowens. he prob should’ve been on the 75 list but him falling off a cliff as a player at a time when most elite guys still have 5 years of great basketball left isn’t really anyone else’s fault
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 October 2021 00:17 (two years ago) link

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 00:24 (two years ago) link
well dwight never really developed any actual skills and once him posting up stopped becoming even halfway useful he kinda became a zero on offense. he’s definitely one of the 75 best athletes in NBA history. probably one of the 75 best players too. but he was a beast for only like 5-6 years when he was at his athletic peak. once he left orlando he wasn’t the same, could still get lots of rebounds i guess
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 26 October 2021 00:25 (two years ago) link
he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.
came outta high school and was pretty quickly impactful, not the shortest of peaks but for sure robbed of prime years with the back injury

― It's the Final Cluntdiwn (Spottie), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 00:31 (two years ago) link
if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list
5 of which are first team, which puts him in the 20s, even more impressive considering there’s only 1 center spot. an open and shut case if you ask me
I see the argument for reggie for sure but the nature of a list like this is lots of good and important players are going to be left off. as I alluded to the real answer for who to leave off would be some guy from the 50s or whatever but it’s so hard to compare those early guys to guys from today. apparently the voters felt the same way because everyone seemed to just grandfather the old list in
other than dwight tho there probably isn’t an obvious snub out of current players. simmons voted for luka and jokic, which you can definitely make the case for either way. lowe apparently voted for iguodala, which…

interesting piece on the scoring decline, fouls are down one a game which isnt that much but its causing the game to slow down too since possessions with fouls are shorter than those without, and all possessions are slowing down since defenses can now play harder due to the looser officiating, thats the theory

celtics haved done it without great shooters, at least not in the starting lineup, theyve done it with a lot of good shooters who are also good basketball players, which allows them to generate great looks, of their top eight guys in 3pt attempts six are outperforming their career percentage and the other two jaylen and pritchard are less than a point off, also theyve shot way better as the season has progressed, which is prob because theyve figured out how to play with the new guys, so they might be better at shooting 3s than the season numbers suggest, also prob as something to do with that theyve been resting starters recently which give hauser more minutes, and he is bombs away folks let me tell you

+700 seems like a lot until you total up the number of games including playoffs across two seasons and divide by that number. my stance on this ongoing “controversy” is that it’s not very surprising that a team employing lebron and AD dominates its opponents in the foul department

i will not be accepting that challenge. but the lakers being roughly +4 FTs per game while the next best team is roughly +2 FTs per game amounts to, functionally, one extra whistle per game, which feels like a minor variable all things considered

when i looked at bball ref earlier i saw them in fifth but looking more closely the sixers, suns and lakers are basically tied for third in the league at 24.1 or 24.2 or 24.3 FTA per game depending on your source. bball ref has total FTAs on the season as
1. magic - 1,7512. bucks - 1,7483. sixers - 1,7184. suns - 1,7125. lakers - 1,711
all have played 71 games
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 26 March 2024 00:16 (two days ago) link
if you go by fewest amount of opponent free throws total you get
1. celtics - 1,2682. lakers - 1,291
so in reality the lakers don't even lead the league in fewest amount of FTAs given up
conclusion: the lakers free throw disparity gap over the league really just boils down to the celtics being bottom 10 in the league in FT rate while also being last in the league in opponent FT rate lol
