OT: Kawhi Leonard's defense

[AlexJones]

2013-14 DRPM: 2.13 (3rd among SFs)
2014-15 DRPM: 4.59 (1st among SFs)
2015-16 DRPM: 3.88 (1st among SFs)
2016-17 DRPM: 1.25 (19th among SFs)

In comparison, Draymond's numbers for the past 2 seasons are 5.04 and 5.59. Sure, DRPM favors big men, but Draymond still blew away the players at his position in this category..

Green (198 points, 99 First Team votes), Gobert (196 points, 97 First Team votes) and Leonard (192 points, 93 First Team votes) were overwhelming choices for the First Team, as selected by a global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters.

OMFG .. Kobe Leonard, tbh props to TheGreatYacht for calling it

[BanditHiro]

yeah that is why Draymond stole the award from Gobert. Everyone besides apalisoc_9 agreed with that assessment

[hater]

Donkey didnt have to carry an entire team of soft pussies and corpses to the WCFs tbqh

Still take 2016-17 Kawhi over anything other than Leroids

you're using a strictly team computed stat to assess the defensive impact of a player sharing the floor with TOSBs manu, tony, pau and david lee all getting heavy minutes, a player that was put there by an experienced coach maximizing team balance ... so basically your post is pointless.

Still, donkey is a better defender under the current rules, not by much though.

Well yeah, since the rules he plays under are different from everybody else's

[SpursforSix]

Advanced metrics comparison:
(higher number being more effective)

Leonard - 13.56925
Green - 11.12589

Case closed

I wish ST would have a trolling renaissance. Feels like we've been in the dark ages forever tbh

Kawhi sucks on D

Metrics are archaic and outdated, only bums like midsty use them.

True gauge of skill is repeats, championships and olympic gold medals

Not all metrics. And when they all come to the same conclusion, they tend to have some validity.

Here's some more...and this is a sizeable gap between the two.


Leonard (per 48) : 17.3256
Green (per 48) : 12.2587

Kobe: 2 gold

That's it and that's all

Carmelo > Kobe

Have to take repeats into consideration

The new and accurate ranking of true metrics is...

1. NBA repeats
2. Gold medals
3. NBA championships

But you then to apply the rape coefficient.

Trolling in general around the internet has been in the dark ages for years. I blame the fact that internet culture has gone mainstream.

said ing no one ever. In that case Terry Bradshaw is twice as good as Brady despite Brady having won one more ring.

Kobe did rape the spurs badly one series, Tbh. I'll calculate

Some of the meme game brings decent lols, but the edgelord population has exploded and the decent trolls are now drowning in an ocean of try hards(see upstairs)

It's because trolls have been signed to a major record label.

The true metric is how badly you want to suck them off. But then it's hard to rank them because there will be too many candidates.

I'm sorry, ambgreatwallofchina, not interested in participating in your circus today - maybe next time.
