Come at me with bball content sometime... if you're worthy.
Well, I don't know if I should. I once spent something like 5 pages in a single thread trying to get you to understand why, if you're going to look at stats, adjusting for pace is important. Apparently I wasn't worthy, because I could not seem to effectively get across this simple concept. I guess I'm just a bad teacher.
Perhaps you're a bad teacher, or perhaps we just disagreed.
I don't have exact recollection of that discussion but I recall it was centered around Marbury and his plodding style. Then Nash entered the discussion and you told me to compare them we'd have to subtract pace from the equation, but I said that would be unfair to Nash because a quicker pace is an asset he brings to the table, and an advantage he intrinsically offers over Marbury.
That's where the conversation ended. You never did answer that one... and still appear bitter about it.
Anyway, don't take things too personally my friend. I'm sure I haven't said anything worse about you (or you about me) than some of the things you've said (or I've said) about various basketball players at various points in time on this very board. So, unless you hold yourself to a different standard than those ball players, I'm sure you understand. It's just a game, and this board is just a bar where people shoot the breeze.
I don't take it too personally once or twice, but this is becoming routine from you. It's simply an annoying distraction to watch you reduce yourself to the antics of the worst posters of the worst boards.
But... do what you gotta do.
