Also, as good as he is, his numbers are inflated becuase of the way Phoenix plays. They have more poseessions, so naturally he grabs more boards. Even TT was putting up rebound numbers out there. SM has only ever played run and gun. Kapeesh.
marion's career:
g min pts reb ast stl blk fg%
99/00 51 24.7 10.2 6.4 1.4 0.8 1.0 47.1 w/ kidd
00/01 79 36.2 17.3 10.7 2.0 1.7 1.4 48.0 w/ kidd
01/02 81 38.4 19.1 9.9 2.0 1.8 1.1 46.9 w/ steph
02/03 81 41.6 21.2 9.5 2.4 2.3 1.2 45.2 w/ steph
03/04 79 40.7 19.0 9.3 2.7 2.1 1.3 44.0 w/ steph/ward/eisley
04/05 81 38.8 19.4 11.3 1.9 2.0 1.5 47.6 w/ nash
05/06 81 40.3 21.8 11.8 1.8 2.0 1.7 52.5 w/ nash
so even without kidd and nash and their pass-first uptempo high possession offense, he still averaged 19+ ppg and 9.5+ reb with steph.
the one thing I see is the FG%. Drops with Steph and is about the same with Nash and Kidd. He did say that those guys made shots easier for him, right?
Yes he did say it, and the numbers support it.
DJ, you must know that I know those numbers almost off the top of my head.
What do the numbers have in common?
They were all on Phoenix and they were all in and a run and gun style of play. Bottom line.
