    That's exactly my point, re . We can sort the per game stats any way we like to exclude/include players. Do you know which stats have done away with this arbitrary exercise? The summation stats: PER and WS, which derive their values from a consideration of the TOTAL statistical impact a player had. Just use those. You're myopically focused on points plus TS because that is the only the way your boy comes out looking better.
    Again, 10 s metric don't make a right.

    What are you on about with your latest statistical argument (that once again only considers points and TS)? Are you trying you to suggest Kiwi was more standard deviations above the mean than KD or something? Do you even know what the a standard deviation is, moron? Or how to calculate it? You're making the argument, so prove your case and show your work. I'm not going to go through 184 values subtracting the mean from each and squaring the results. Oh, found a SD calculator. Unfortunately it maxed out at 21 values, but the mean of 27.7 from these value is close enough to the supposed 26.45 mean you found (I don't trust your intellectual honesty)
    I literally posted the data, it's not my fault that you have stains on your monitor.

    If we're to believe the standard deviations you calculated, Kiwi was within both the standard deviation of PPG and TS, meaning he was simply "luckier" offensively than other players who also averaged within standard deviation of the mean. Kevin Durant's PPG was within the SD (not an SD away, dumb ), but his TS was a full TWO standard deviations ABOVE the mean, so we can conclude that his performance was not a luck based result, but a result of skill.
    So you are going to legit argue 30.5 is "luck" while 30.6 is by "skill"?

    Snake's TS went from 55 to 68 within a season after becoming a wingman same w/ Wardell TS being fluffed after becoming a pseudo 1st option but yeah it was a "result of skill"
    Kiwi meanwhile MAINTAINED his ALL-TIME playoff leading career TS of 62 for a championship run.

    Since you want to go about this by the books, I'll increase the sample size as "estimate of the mean won't be as good" with a small sample size.
    Just going to do you a favor & include goodies such DK's second 3-peat that you put on the pedestal

    For single seasons; played in the NBA/BAA; in the playoffs; from 1946-47 to 2018-19; requiring Points Per Game >= 20 and Effective Field Goal Pct >= 0.450 and Games >= 15; sorted by descending True Shooting Pct

    http://bkref.com/tiny/6vrWy

    Filter for championship runs:

    Mean PPG: 25.64
    SD: 4.14
    25.64 + 4.14 = 29.8

    Mean TS: 0.56
    SD: 0.04
    0.56 + 0.04 = 0.60

    Again.....Kiwi: 30.5 / 62% (Only player to be a standard deviation above the mean in BOTH categories )

    Yeah, but the cherry picked stat of points and efficiency is the "right" stat . The summation/adjusted stats have long been used over per game stats in defining player value. You got an issue with them, submit a paper to Sloan that illustrates how PPG + TS is THE defining stat.


    Again.....Kiwi: 30.5 / 62% (Only player to be a standard deviation above the mean in BOTH categories )
    Again, more intellectual dishonesty and fudging the filters to give you boy more rep. You filtered for >15 games, you monumental idiot. I guess since you only been watching basketball since 2014, you fail to realize that quite a few le runs ended before 15 games were played. Many players of that era had comparatively low PPG and TS%, which would lower the standard so that more players would be above the SD of the mean. Another sneaky filter you employed was >.450 shooting. If you're going to take a sample, include ALL le runs, even the "bad ones."

    And once again, why the so hung up on PPG and TS? We have better stats.

    Elite Postseason PPG/TS for UNDISPUTED lead-dogs with a championship run sample size is FLUFF-PROOF.

    But...but...but...Why don't we use the metric that says Dork was an elite defender or the one that indicated the '01 Lakers were better off w/ Mark Madsen rather than Shaq or the one that said '10 Richardson was more impactful than '95 Hakeem?!?!?!



    We have better stats

    Go ahead and hold on to this stat then. It suggests Kevin Durant and Curry both had better runs in just the past 3 years than your boy. If anything, re , the adjusted stats serve your boy better because of his defensive impact. And quit with the in' logical fallacies. What you're doing is appealing to the outlier. "Well, because this thing happened, it means the whole thing is invalid."

    No front office would just use PPG and TS to evaluate a player. Again, if you think it has more explanatory power than RPM, BPM, WS, PER, On/off, submit a paper to Sloan.

    End of the day, Kiwi doesn't place in the top 10 in ANY of the summation and adjusted stats. End of the day, when we don't re edly filter, he would be within standard deviation of the mean in your beloved PPG and TS.

    Only by Kiwi ball handlers such as yourself. This run was statistically slightly above average vs. other superstar runs.

    The two betas that joined forces b/c they couldn't lead their team to promise land on 30/62?

    Yeah the poster-boy of Sloan outlawed mid-range jumpers & allow TOBS Pau to be a difference maker then followed it up by blowing a series missing 28 straight 3s then capped it off by giving out an abominable contract

    End of the day you will NEVER find a 30/62 chip run no matter how many times you clean toilets at "Sloan"

    End of the day, you'll never find a 28/68 chip run no matter how much you play with filters to get rid of noise. End of the day, Kiwi can't even match Chuck Person and Andre Miller level all around production . Let's return to the stat YOU first used in WS/48 when you thought it benefitted your boy:



    This is just over the past decade. Your boy doesn't even have a top 5 run of the decade and lags behind the players who are considered the best of this generation.

    "Top 5 run."

    What's living rent free is the irritation in you that there's no statistical case you can make outside of "filtering for noise" and reducing the entire sport of basketball down to PPG and TS.

    "I-I-It doesn't count b-b-b-because I said so!"

    You know which stat tries to adjust for supporting cast strength? Win shares. The stat you used first in the debate, but now cry about since when we don't "filter out noise," Kiwi comes up lacking.

    He just comes up short in every conceivable metric. Sorry, bro. Suck it up and wait till next season. Maybe he'll finally put up Chuck Person level numbers (as every other all time great wing has) in the post-season.

    I threw in WS/48 along w/ the RAW stats for sorting purposes on Bball Ref which is when I made the gruesome discovery about '95 Hakeem
