Things you feel as if are true but probably arent
Lebron always dominates when he is getting booed.
DeMar DeRozan has a 2 week stretch every year when people claim he is amazing and should be in the MVP picture, but then disappears completely until the next year.
In the past season, every few games a Lakers scrub would go off who you forgot existed.
When Kobe takes a impossible looking fadeaway 3 at a key point in the game, it always goes in.
The Heat have never lost when Chris Bosh has a great game.
Every year there is a "can't miss" big man draft prospect with potentially career destroying injury problems.
If you are a white SF, you are probably very good at 3's.
Tim Duncan was born 30.
If a first round series is predicted to go 7 games, it invariably ends in 5.
Whenever James Harden switches onto a player on defense, they always score on the next play.
The words "Kevin Love put up another double double tonight" are almost always followed by "..in another Timberwolves loss. This makes it 5 in a row Jeff"
Dwight Howards smiles inappropriately at least once a quarter.
Anymore you guys have?

Very good NBA starter
Re: Things you feel as if are true but probably arent
- stats indicate how good a player is
- if you don't win it all you are a loser
- there are alpha and beta players, simple as that
- being alpha is good, being beta is not
- all players should be happy because they make a ton of money
- superstars win games not teams
- games are manufactured
- NBA referees are bad
- European players are soft, Americans are tough
- being 'aggressive' is the only way to play the game properly
- you can compare players having played in totally different eras
- there exists the thing called 'objectivity'
- if you dig deep and find the right numbers, you can actually prove you are right
- life of a ballplayer basically ends when he retires

There does. People who says ITS PROVEN EVERYONE IS BIASED. That's mainly BS, but a lot of people are. You can have an opinion, but the more you can look at the other side, the less biased you are. Ideally, when you have a thought you should automatically have a counter thought and be able to support it. It's not that hard to support something with "facts." Doesn't mean it's true.
A lot of the people here are not objective because this is a bball message board overrun with trolls.
If you want to objectively prove player A, who shoots 40% on 3s, is better than player B, who shoots 35, at shooting... you can't. For many reasons, mainly being it's hard to stay objective when you are trying to prove one thing is better than another. You have to ask yourself why do you want to, if you are objective. Of course, you can say, "The truth!" and while you can def be outraged by a lot of the shit posted on this board, it's not really worth going in and trying to defend it. But we all do at times.

Scientifically speaking, not even facts are objective. We call things we can measure 'facts', but ist is us putting together the ideas and the devices for any kind of measurement. Often times, when something is regarded as a fact in science changes a few years / decades / centuries later. For another 'fact'.
We are human. We don't have the facts. We have the observations and the opinions.
