- He posted stats (APM, etc.) about Wiggins and Derozan being terrible, until he was called out on it by actual experts in sports analytics. He was shamed and went into hiding
- He posted videos of landing mechanics and leg injury. This time, he gets an even more humiliating beat down and becomes the laughing stock of the thread
- He claims to know more by humble bragging about watching games live. When asked how so, he goes into an extended verbal diarrhea of non-sequitur, logical fallacies, and total nonsense like his uncle is a scout, he knows by watching players, etc. Again, he exposes himself as a know-nothing fraud.
- On top of all of these, he was challenge to a debate on these topics and many more, and he has since lurked in the shadows going down as perhaps the dumbest and most annoying poster in tl/sports.

The CBA only controls costs with regards to players. The teams still control how much they pay their coaches, scouts, gm, ticket sales teams, all the administrative bureaucrats on the business side, and all the owners' useless relatives that they give VP positions to. It also doesn't prevent the NBA team from overpaying rent to the arena that the owner also owns as a separate company (*wink* *wink*). Yeah, the NBPA can audit a few teams every year but good luck with that. The CBA doesn't control the revenue side, either. The disparity between local TV revenue is staggering. The Lakers totally fleeced Time Warner but other teams aren't trying hard enough. Same goes with ticket prices and all the ancillary revenue that teams get from nickel and diming the live experience. It all boils down to marketing. And the richer owners certainly don't owe the barely able to afford their team owners who overlevered themselves to buy their team. Some of the teams are losing money because of their debt load. | ||

For example, does any one really know what TSN and SportsNet "pay" for Raptors' rights ? its really just a made up number. Does any one know what MSGNetworks pays for Knicks games? aren't they all owned by the same guy? again, its just a made up number. | ||

For this to even possibly real they would need to track all his landing plot the % of bad, (define bad first), and then compare to other players. It would also have to have a predictive factor. Its not real, its click bait, stop being a sucker we went through this in detail last year. | ||

i'm a big kobe fan so i've watched lots of his games from 2010 to 2013 ..usually on NBATV. check them out yourself on youtube if you like. his landings rely far more on his left leg as is stated in that original video i linked. | ||

Rolf, you have memory of a gerbil go back to thread and read the multiple people watch actual video and see its not true. Not to mention if he had perfect landing mechanics how did he hurt himself in the first place? | ||

@JimmyJRaynor, there are pending challenges to a debate with you on many issues. I don't know if it was raised before, but let me issue this now: I challenge you to a debate that the claims from that yt channel you post here (whose ideas you subscribe to) are not conclusive evidence on the leg injuries of NBA players, specifically Kobe and Rose. Loser will post a picture of himself here on this thread as soon as the debate is over, holding a paper with the words "MY NAME IS (REAL NAME) AND I AM A LIAR AND A LOSER" and will be banned on tl... for life!" DO YOU ACCEPT OR RUN AWAY SCARED, JimmyJRaynor? This challenge was posted around 22 Sept 2017, 0900 KST. If by 24 Sept 2017, 2359 KST you, JimmyJRaynor, have not accepted this challenge to a debate, you will not anymore be allowed to post anything in this thread except to post pictures from your live experience of NBA games. No text or comment or any of your garbage, just pictures. | ||

when u land on the same 1 leg repeatedly you increase the chance of injury that leg. it is better to land on 2 legs. also, i've stated this many times but i'll add it in here again. Bad mechanics are one of many contributing factors in any tissue fracture whether its tendon, ligament, bone, etc. On September 22 2017 09:07 Twinkle Toes wrote: Kobe and Rose. i don't really have much of an opinion on Rose's injuries. I know that surgery requiring tissue regrowth requires a longer timeline to return to action. That's why Rose's first knee cartilage injury required such a long time for him to get back. His most recent knee cartilage injury all the DRs did was cut away some cartilage requiring no tissue regrowth. Hence, Rose got back to action much more quickly. | ||

every defensive metric indicates Derozan is a bad defender. xRAPM, RAPM ( on Engelmann's twitter), opponent FG%, steals, blocks, deflections. i watched ~70 games of Derozan last year and the eye test shows me his defense is bad. We have 2 other posters agreeing with me that Derozan's defense is bad. Derozan's defense has been bad for years. do you know any one who says Derozan is an average defender or better than average defender? | ||

As mentioned long before, nowitzki always lands on one leg the same one, in one of the most repeated shots in nva history, and has been healthy his whole career. Second the biggest factor is Kobes injuries are minutes played and age. This is fact not shit you make up or garbage videos you post. Not garbage? Please produce numbers relating to how often he lands a how he lands. Preferably with how the % changes. Also make sure to bring in all his countless hours of practice since that is exponentially more. Oh wait you cant? Right cause its not real. But what about the "you watched all his games and blah blah." First, confirmation bias. Second you have claimed that you watch every game then the next day not know that multiple starters missed the game the night before. So either you are lieing (highly likely) or your eye test is worthless. Either way stop bringing it up. Im not a stats wizard like many people here are but if you keep bringing up your "vast" statistical knowledge ill repost the last thread where you got completely shut down. Trying to save a few pages of banter by getting ahead of his favorite, logical fallacy based arguments. | ||

Do not run away now, these are words you utter yourself which we are now about to prove false. You say: when u land on the same 1 leg repeatedly you increase the chance of injury that leg. I challenge you now, the above statement is not true. Defend it on a debate, because I say it to you right now with no ambiguity, you are a liar and what you say is not true.

I mean, there are plenty of ways to avoid being drawn in that kind of social media bashing. He can just avoid social media together. There have even been comments on twitter to shill for him. I'm sure this is done somewhere, with big interest in brand management by Nike and Adidas mostly, I suspect they have a shill-army to protect their players and divert or at least disrupt any negative discussion. He is indeed soft and sensitive. But in truth, most people are, and it's understandable for him to be affected by such massive negativity towards him. His only problem is that he is a public figure. To me this is a funny but meh issue. | ||

I remember in the Offseason thread you were challenge by a stat guy about sports analytics. Do not coward your way out and ask me a dodgy question like that. The issue then, as it is now, is that you don't even know what you are talking about when you talk about advanced analytics. I'll look for it and post here and hope he beats your ass again. | ||

He should be smarter but it is a bit of reminder that even though these guys are multimillion dollar athletes or actors or whatever they do get affected. I guess that is why twitter trolls get such a thrill out of shit talking these guys. | ||
