Official Definition: Better Scorer Means Being Able To Score In More Ways

[SuperPippen]

Insidehoops Logic:

Guy at the carnival hitting 30 shots in a row on the basketball game = Better scorer than Melo.

Better percentage = better scorer

Carnival Guy = 100% FG

Carnival Guy = GOAT

This...... is one of the worst arguments I've ever seen.

[CeltsGarlic]

Worst debate ever. Dude is nuts or something.. Score with your head or elbows as long as its effective for the team. Thats it.

[Graviton]

Ah last time you had such a meltdown arguing this...

Obvious agenda is obvious.

Say you're building a team and you have great complimentary players, and great role players but you need a 30 ppg scorer to make your team complete. Ignoring rebounding, defense, etc - Over the course of the entire regular and post season what player would you want using 1/3 of your teams possessions to score?:

A 30 ppg scorer with a whole arsenal of moves and average scoring efficiency/consistency?

Or...

A 30 ppg scorer with a total of 4 moves and excellent scoring efficiency/consistency?

Which guy would increase your teams chances of winning in the regular season and the playoffs? That guy is the better scorer. Point blank.

This.

A simpler way to put this is, the guy whose scoring better translates to wins. Usually this is the guy who's more efficient because that allows more possessions to be used by his teammates.

This...... is one of the worst arguments I've ever seen.

Its not an argument its hyperbole and satire showing how stupid and simplistic some of the people on this website are.

Sheep. Complete sheep.

Only mindless idiots like yourself cant see that there are multiple ways to score in this game and if you are proficient at them all then you are a better scorer than someone who has multiple weak areas in the scoring aspect of the game.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

You guys are acting like there is such a huge discrepancy in the shooting percentages.

A guy shooting 43% from the field who can post up, create off the dribble, spot up, shoot 3s, drive the lane, finish with either hand

Is better than the guy shooting 47% but stays within his limited element.

Reggie Miller is one of the greatest shoters in NBA history from all areas of the floor. He shot much more efficiently than Allen Iverson, but can you people honestly say Reggie was a better scorer than AI? You cant.

No.

What that means is that player is MORE EFFICIENT than the other player.

Similar concept to when i discussed DOMINANCE.

Hakeem is a better scorer than Shaq, but Shaq was more DOMINANT.

you are looking at this very one dimensionally.

there is a middle ground between one guy being good at one type of scoring, or bad at it.

melo is a relatively great shooter, but its not a smart way to score points. melo is amazing at the least effective method of scoring.

id rather have a scorer who is the best, at the best type of scoring.



you are acting like an obnoxious fool with the way you are making your argument.

[Nash]

How is this hard to understand? Better scorer means that you need lesser amount of opportunities to score. It doesn't matter if you can only score in one way as long as you get it done. What is the point of knowing how to score in 10 different ways if none of them is as efficient while another guy can only score in 1 way yet he's unstoppable at it at scores as many points as the guy who has 10 moves and has to take more shots to score the same amount?

[AintNoSunshine]

LOL you dumbazzes is it really that hard to understand?

Best scorer = most difficult to keep from scoring

You can do this by using a wider varieties of moves which make you more unpredictable.

Or if you're so talented that you can score with one move every fukking time and the defense can't do shiit to stop you even they know what you're going to do, you are still a great scorer.
