Are stats overrated?

[ABfor3]

Think about it, you have all time greats like Big O who averaged a triple double a whole season, but obviously the level of competition was so bad back in the 60s. We have Wilt who scored 100 points a game against a bunch of guys no taller than 6'5.. Do stats truly justify how great a player is? Discuss

Relative to era, bro. If you're propping up the almighty "eye test" then you're infallible and every argument bounces off you.

When their all in context, they definitely justify how a great a player is. Especially when you produce in the playoffs at high level.

[PickernRoller]

Yes they are.

That was much more than 10 words, you retard. When Jabbar, poido, and rip are busy, do they send you? You're like the bootleg troll who destroys himself on the regular.

Not surprised some people here can't count

Yeah but even this era we have guys like Kyle Korver shooting insane percentages beyond the arc, some posters believe he's the best shooter in the game, by looking at his stats it's almost hard to argue but that's what I'm trying to discuss, just because his stats say hes shooting that well does it truly mean he's the best (not saying he is) or can we say they're are better shooters from actually watching a player even though he doesn't put up good stats like Korver or anybody else.

I don't give a sh1t about correctness if that's what you're asking, Yes. Doesn't deviate from the bitterness it causes you. Circle jerking is the only thing left for your kind. Visible a few posts in.

Lebron fans don't care about rings/kobe anymore. I've been propping Kobe and hard on Lebron lately because that is what this site needs, but Lebron has already proved to be a better player than Kobe ever was....and now he has two finals mvp's and two rings. It's just a matter of time before Lebron's career ranks higher than Kobe and everyone without a huge bias knows it

As for stats being over-rated...not really...you just have to look at everything...and I mean everything. Individual stats can be over-rated and anything without context is of course silly

but stats are generally great...by the way, winning is a stat as well...so take the Kevin Love stuff. His individual stats are great, but you have to take the time to dive into everything...and factor in team success...etc. And I'd bet you would accurately rank Love after doing all that.

It's the people that just list 26/13/4...ZOMG! that are the problem...
