Tony Parker 2nd in the league in secondary assists per 36.

[Beaverfuzz]

Every major sport where a ball gets passed around has started to record "hockey assists", and often it's that pass that creates the opportunity, much more than the assist itself which is often more or less automatic. It's true in soccer, basketball, etc.

Take your ass stat, head outside, and play hide and go yourself.

Such eloquence! You convinced me!

Tbh this stat isn't "advanced" at all and it's only "new" to basketball. Anyone laughing at it is dumb as .

It's a legit stat, just not a very major one.

If someone pokes the ball away from a player and it bounces to a teammate, the guy who picked it up gets credit for the steal but the player who actually created that turnover by poking the ball away gets nothing. Sometimes extra stats to track stuff like that are a good thing.

That's not true. If you poke the ball away and a teammate gets it you get the steal.

Golden State and Cleveland.

I know. That was my weak attempt at a positive joke. "oh...there are other contenders?"

[SpurSwag]

This stat is honestly just as relevant as regular assists when it comes to the spurs. How often do we see Tony get in the paint, kick out to someone, and have them kick to to the more open shooter after someone comes out to somewhat contest the first shot.

He passes it to the guy that passes it to Kawhi.

Not quite. It's not a fluke stat - basically has to be a dish to a guy who dishes it immediately. Stop assuming things to troll:

Quan y of passes made by a player to a player who earned an assist on a made shot. Assister must make a pass within 2 seconds and 1 dribble for passer to earn a secondary assist.

That's not true. If you poke the ball away and a teammate gets it you get the steal.

Exactly. Though if the NBA wanted to become more like other sports, they could split steals and blocks just like they split sacks in football.

[Kidd K]

That's not true. If you poke the ball away and a teammate gets it you get the steal.

Are you sue? I remember more than a few NBA broadcasts where the announcer credits the guy picking it up rather than the player deflecting the ball. Or are they describing that incorrectly?

using desperate stats to defend Porker and today'S soft and less skilled NBA players

I know that you are nothing more than troll, Lefty. But God, your basketball takes are really, really stupid. Please waste some other people's time and follow another sport that doesn't need as much use of your minimal brain cells, buddy.

[J_Paco]

Secondary assists are imaginary assists, that's why Parker is ranked so high

Again, you are proving to everyone how stupid you are. How can there be "imaginary assists?" They are obviously tabulating one pass that leads to another pass that leads to a score. You know, a direct function of "good to great" passing and something Popovich stresses.

[J_Paco]

This isn't hockey. lol

You are an antiquated player hating fan. LOL

It is a pass

But it's not an assist

+/- >>> assist from a pass from a pass.

Get your asses in here pronto....

Dude looked done and then magically got his game back out of nowhere.

He's probably on some PEDs tbh.

So first he looks fat and out of shape, but now he's on PEDs? It hard to admit you were wrong, isn't it?

Look at these horrible vanilla predictions: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...7s+fg%25+15-16

Good stuff.

[Mr Bones]

I wonder how much of it is skewed by that one good month in March though? IIRC he shot in the high 50s during that month. Not sure if he has another month like that in him, especially with the way he's looking against the likes of Latvia...in which case we can expect under 40% imho.

Pure vanilla

Troll all you want, but there's the evidence: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...7s+fg%25+15-16

You were wrong. Just be a man and face it.

[spurraider21]

literally easiest bet of my life ... he shot 49% last year.... in the worst year of his career

[spurraider21]

Parked sucked ass last year but still was able to shoot 48.6%. With LMA coming to town and Kawhi's growth as an offensive player, I expect parkers volume to decrease. I would be legitimately shocked if he shot below 45%
