I feel like Jokic, Giannas, and Luka have destroyed stats for me. Getting 36/16/9 is something I don’t even bat and eye at, I just go oh, they had a good game. NOT EVEN A GREAT GAME. Just a good game lmao. I remember a time that wasn’t too long ago, I’m talking like 2015 where 25/6/6 was a pretty insane stat that people were like damn. I really feel like stats stopped becoming so shocking when Harden and Russ were just getting 30 point triple doubles every night and Russ legit averaged a triple double for like 3 seasons or whatever. Before that nobody had averaged a triple double since Oscar Robertson in 1961!
Does anyone else feel this way? I don’t even know what is good anymore honestly or when I should be impressed.
Embiid is doing it on an insane all-time USG% (36.6 over the last 4 years), along with an insane FTr (.593).
Embiid is obviously very talented and a very efficient scorer, but he’s also getting prime Jordan level touches and foul calls to help him along the way.
