2020-2021 NBA Regular Season thread

Shooooooocking that you'd have this holstered and ready to go, but yeah, it's annoying whether we're talking about LeBron, Jeter or Jay-Z "owning" a team.

 

Jeter owns 4%, Bruce Sherman owns 46%.

It’s reported that Magic actually wrote a check for his 2.3%. But it’s never clear if the other celebrity athlete fractional owners actually buy their shares or is it financed completely with debt and deferred payments?

 

With his 21 points in the first quarter tonight, Steph Curry becomes Warriors franchise scoring leader, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain.

 

No question Curry is an all-timer, but last night was his 745th game as a Warrior. Wilt played 502 games as a Warrior.

 

Wilt’s ppg 37, 38, 50, 44, 37 his 5 full seasons as Warrior 41.5 career average as a Warrior. Add an average of 25 rebounds a game.
Somewhere along the way averaging 25/7/7 became the holy grail of greatness. Chamberlain is the only player in NBA history to average at least 30 points and 20 rebounds per game in a season, which he accomplished seven times. He is also the only player to average at least 30 points and 20 rebounds per game over the entire course of his NBA career. They didn’t keep blocked shots as a stat while he played.

it’s nice for Curry to become the aggregate points leader for the Warriors. But it should serve more to remind people how absolutely incredible Wilt was. he also played 80 or more games 9 times and averaged 45 minutes a game. And he didn’t play in the NBA until he was 23.

 

but he played against a bunch of plumbers.

And if Curry played in the mid 1980’s he wouldn’t have survived to play in the 1990’s.

 

I know Reggie Miller speaks highly of himself, always has done it for the most part, but I do believe him when he says he would dominate in the league today.

 

Peak Fuck-You Spike Lee Reggie would be first-team All-Pro in today’s NBA. They’d write TikTok raps about him.

 

I mean, what does "dominate" mean? Clay Thompson with worse defense and better health? That's kind of what I'd think Miller would be.

 

God, this is old man bullshit.

 

And although it wasn't a huge part of Chamberlain's arsenal, Curry also benefitted from the three-point shot. And as Gee said, he still needed nearly 250 more games to bypass Wilt.
