Thompson assist falsely credited to LeBron for his "triple double" vs Pelicans

[oarabbus]

From reddit...


All the top stories and headlines were screaming that LeBron had a triple-double (even reddit!) and Game Time app has even sent a message, tough there wasn't any when CP3 or RR also had triple-double.
And you know what? LeBron hadn't his 38th regular season and 49th overall triple-double last night.
His stat line should be 32 pts, 12 reb and 9 ast. Back in the third quarter, when the Kyrie scored an acrobatic layup (and traveled, too) it was Tristan Thompson who passed the ball, not LeBron. However, if you see at NBA.com's and ESPN's play-by-play you find that the assist was awarded to James.
Here are play-by-play screens and here is the play. I'm looking forward to see if NBA is gonna change that and then maybe send a message to my GameTime app. Would be fair enough!

First of all, that wasn't even an assist to Thompson, much less Lebron. It was just Kyrie running the floor, he took more than a dribble. Anyway The NBA does stat corrections, as far as I know. But maybe not when the corrected stats might negatively impact one King James.

:kobe:

I wonder how many more assists he has been falsely given for his career.

Exposed. :oldlol:

Bron even needs help from the stat sheet people.

There was a thread made about this by A.W. before.

The difference in home game assists vs away game assists. Because the home team chooses their stat keeper and not the NBA front office. So assists will always be skewed in some sense.

I remember during the playoffs Westbrook got his triple double against the Clippers when he passed it to Ibaka and Ibaka posted up and took like nine seconds to shoot after the pass. Even Jeff Van Gundy made fun of the fact that was recorded as an assist.

So, when it comes to assists, I think everyone gets a little stat boost.

[tpols]

His last assist was the funniest.. on a PnR with kyrie lebron passed it to him.. kyrie pump faked, jab stepped and shot it like 4-5 seconds after lebron passed it to him.:lol

In that case.. is the last pass to any shot an assist?

It's funny how stuff like this only gets noticed when someone doesn't like the player in question. This happens all the time, league wide, there is no reason other than an agenda to point it out. Does LBJ's non triple double make the Cavs lose, no... so who cares. It's situations like this, again, league wide, that contribute to stats being an inaccurate measure of a player.

I like LeBron. I like Kobe too, and Durant. But that's not the point of this thread.

My biggest issue is that the play in question was counted as an assist in the first place. If you're taking several dribbles, it wasn't an assisted basket. This happens with Rondo and CP3 and there have been numerous threads about how their assists are bullshit too. It's not good for the league. LeBron's game simply happens to be high profile and JUST happened. I'll make a thread about a falsely credited Rondo triple double too when it happens.

If you want to make a thread about the league wide issue of bad stat keeping, why did you point out a single player?

Same thing goes for the "superstar call" problem, people focus on bad calls one player gets rather than the fact it's a league wide problem.

When one player is singled out for something that is a widespread problem, it just sounds petty.

It's like pointing out that certain person didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign when everyone knows, that it happens all over the place, all the time.

I don't understand how there aren't official NBA independent score keepers at every game.

[ArbitraryWater]

Except NBA took it away already.

But the stat-keeping is a huge hole.... Made a thread on this not too long ago.

Home cooking assists. Although this was just a blatant mistake.

[imdaman99]

Feel bad for bran. This is twice they have done him like this :oldlol:

If they had updated it by halftime or even end of 3rd quarter, he could have force-fed his teammates to get an extra assist. It would have been done. Not like he wants to shoot in 4th quarters anyway.

[tmacattack33]

The night after Lebron recorded a 50 point triple double about 5 years ago, the league went back and reviewed a play and took his 10th assist back.

That was the first time I can remember them going back and changing a stat. They certainly wouldn't have went back if it was some random player who had 8 points and 2 assists that night.

Therefore, it is only fair that Lebron gets the benefit of the doubt from now on.

[3ball]

Lebron has dominated the ball like a point guard his entire career and is the most ball-dominant wing player of all time, so he it shouldn't be a surprise that he has more triple-doubles in his career than any other wing (other than off-ball wing player Larry Bird).

But he's never been good enough as a ball-dominator to get 10 triple-doubles in 11 games (http://www.complex.com/sports/2014/01/michael-jordan-point-guard-in-1989-posted-triple-double-10-of-11-games), his assist averages are only slightly better than off-ball players Bird and Jordan, and his career triple double totals are a small fraction of the real best-passing ball-dominators, Kidd, Magic, and Oscar.

We've always overrated Lebron's passing a little bit... moving on.. :rolleyes:

[R.I.P.]

Really? A pass to 3/4 court where a guy goes 1 on 2 and scores on a borderline reverse contested layup is an assist? Jesus christ

Makes sense. Lay-up continuation with Irving starts at the 3pt line, so assists to Irving start with receiving a pass in the own half.

[Phenith]

Well excuse me for singling out LeBron amongst the numerous players who had triple doubles yesterday...

So the point is to highlight that bad stat keeping leads to unearned triple doubles using the most recent case as evidence. I can partially accept that point.

[outbreak]

Unearned stats happen all across the league, I'm a rondo fan but he gets credited with a lot of iffy assists. Not outright mistakes where someone else made the pass though, that needs to be gone over and corrected. The issue I have with the NBA is the way they send alerts and run a media campaign about how Lebron got a triple double yet don't do that for other players. It's annoying watching league pass and seeing videos over and over again of guys like Lebron doing something yet they don't share the love around for other players even when they are on his team and had better games for him (not talking specifically about this last game).

[boozehound]

how in the world is that an assist for anyone? That shit is bogus (like CP3 assists in NOLA). The nba should have impartial stat recorders at every game, and not depend on a home team employee's judgement.

[STATUTORY]

you have to take Lebron's assist totals and multiply by 2/5 before you can make meaningful comparison to guys like Kobe

[Cocaine80s]

Because it requires you to have no life to monitor basketball sheets / plays from start to bottom and make a thread about an arbitrary hypothetical error which means absolutely nothing to the game or the player if it did or didnt get the credit (1 ***ing assist) and YOU DO THIS ONLY FOR ONE PLAYER......... and YOU DO THIS ONLY TO TRY DISAPPROVE HIM........

Certainly you dont do this detective work & question assists / rebounds which he didnt get but SHOULD have, which caused him to miss many triple doubles? No, you would never do that..... exactly, i mean how the hell would that fit your Lebron hating agenda?

See now how pathetic this is?

Blocks are different. If a player is credited for a block that was clearly a case of getting the player wrong they would fix that too. If it's an assist that is more subjective like a player dribbling a lot before shooting that would be a better comparison to blocks and would have a case both for and against. You can't argue when he didn't even make the pass though.

[jlip]

I remember the NBA reviewed a potential quad- double game by Hakeem back in the day and removed an assist (I believe.) This is at least the second time it's been done to Lebron. Does anyone know of any other cases where there have been statistical modifications due to post game reviews?

[Kblaze8855]

The Hakeem quadruple double was actually noticed on tape later...but they wouldnt add it after review. At least I think so. Not that it matters...he had a second quadruple double that same month.

Anyway....you cant trust the numbers on big performances like this. Rondo was flat out gifted a full 6 assists in his supposed 20 assist night vs the Raptors including Paul Pierce driving from halfcourt taking 4 dribbles.

Hell rondo had other peoples assists credit to him too...

You cant trust many numbers outside points scored. All the rest are just what someone decides to write down. Usually they are about right...but when people want to alter it there is little to be done about it unless they get as obvious as the above.

If memory serves me correctly the final assist by Westbrook in his game 7 trip double against the Grizz last playoffs was very questionable.

It was game 2 against the Clippers. Here is the play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwXKwuGw4-k#t=4m40s). The "assist" to Durant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwXKwuGw4-k#t=4m34s) right before that was very liberally given also.

To me this is not even about lebron. Its about how in the world would you ever give an assist to someone who tip the rebound to another player. Just stop and think about it. If the guy that its tipped to makes a pass then in what world would the guy who tipped the ball to him get an assist. It's the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

CLEVELAND -- The NBA has stripped LeBron James of a triple-double.

After reviewing film of the Cavaliers' 118-111 win Monday night over New Orleans, the league took away a rebound and assist from James, who initially had been credited with his 38th career triple double -- at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

James finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists as the Cavs improved to 3-3.

The league routinely reviews videotape to maintain the integrity of statistics.

With 3:27 left in third quarter, James was incorrectly awarded an assist when he tipped the ball to Tristan Thompson, who passed to Kyrie Irving for a layup. In the fourth quarter, James was given an offensive rebound that should have gone to teammate Mike Miller.

League spokesman Tim Frank said the changes have been made to the official box score.

[Knicks101]

And all was right in the world.
