Biggest statpadders in league history?
Who are the biggest statpadders in league history?
IMO its:
Wilt - self explanatory, dude would play entire games just to run up the score.
Jordan- in his early days was a notorious stat padder, who constantly checked his stats during games. Here is proof
[I]LA Times, April 11, 1989:
Since switching to point guard for the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan has become statistic conscious. He has started checking with statisticians to see how close he is to a triple-double. He had a string of seven consecutive triple-doubles broken Friday night.
"The guys at the scorer's desk let me know what I need," Jordan said.
So, too, do the Bulls' assistant coaches.
"They keep reminding me when I get back to the huddle," Jordan said. "They say, 'You need three more of this. You need four more of that.'[/I]
Kevin Love- Dude gets 25 and 12 with no impact. Heck sometimes he gives up on defense just to get the rebound
James Harden- Dude's freethrow gifts significantly increases his ppg (similar to Durant). Sometimes he will flop just to get an extra 2 points
Honourable mention to Ricky Davis: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDtGHHnA9ms"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDtGHHnA9ms[/URL]

Re: Biggest statpadders in league history?
Jordan, Bron, Wilt, almost every single high scorer has statpadded at some point or time
Re: Biggest statpadders in league history?
Can't say about league history, since I've only been watching since '94. But Ricky Davis immediately came to mind.
Re: Biggest statpadders in league history?
