      Y’all will really refuse to admit that LaMelo Ball is the GOAT since November 15th. It’s absolutely disgusting and really reveals the anti small market team bias from this sub. Sorry we can’t all be the greatest since October 24th.

      Yup. This is on par with all the other random stat lines we see now a days that bleacher report and karma farmers try to hype … Jokic is the first player in NBA history to average 26.327 ppg, 10.89 rpg, and 8.41 apg on Thursdays in December while only eating cheeseburgers the day before. No one fucking cares.

        Nah I disagree on your example, you example is a cherry picked stats with arbitrary cut offs and this is more of a single stat being points, while this is more of Lamelo is scoring a shit ton rn and the other stats are to add context to how good he’s been outside of scoring, while it’s a real small sample size I don’t think it’s the same thing as the infamous Thad young type stats
