Pau Gasol career bpg: 1.7Kevin Garnett: 1.5

man either u think blocked shots is a relevant stat or you dont matt, blocks and steals are both great, he can do both - what id suggest is looking at how much better bostons D got when he arrived, its really quite shocking - and i can tell you as someone who watched a p high % of his games while he was there including nearly every one during the championship season, protecting the rim was his #1 defensive responsibility
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
dayo i told you basically all you need to know about iman shumpert -- he might take 3 shots per game next season

He's a totally awesome full court defender. Protecting the rim is the least of his defensive assets.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
possibly the only other defender who deterred layups better than garnett over the last 10+ years was duncan
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
j0rd ok, but I just want more excuses to see the name iman shumpert
― dayo, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
it's too bad that he'll never make a basket ever cuz that's a great marv albert name -- "imaaan SHUMP-ert"
― v-shasty, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
marv would really deliver that like someone punched him in the stomach right as he started to say his last name
how do you even pronounce his first name

just... no. I mean, even bogut with one arm is better than KG has ever been at protecting the rim.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
oh I guess you mean another player who played over that span?
i guess teams not being able to score inside on the celtics right after garnett arrived was just ~magic~
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
Shaqtus definitely deterred more layups come on.

when did thibs coach for boston
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
shaq was sick for a while but then he got fat
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
shaq is the biggest human being ever, so that's prob true
― v-shasty, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
like how could you even be as big as shaq, it defies logic imo

thibbs is a great coach but if you think he couldve done shit w/the pre garnett c's idk what to say

They had Garnett playing awesome man defense! On opposing team's best big men. But challenging drives to the basket? That's never been his best asset.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
I'm just narrowing down possibilities jh0
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
he was straight patrolling the paint! as someone who watched all the games i assure you!
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
or should I say... SCOOPS
has any NBA ever tried the 'fat goalie' theory of defense - get somebody who is literally so fat that guards would get called for charges any time they tried to make a layup
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
hes actually is vulnerable one on one if the opposing player has weight on him, he matches up well w/gasol but not zach randolph, for that they had perk, rip
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
he's always been a cherry picker with blocks. If it's a serious challenge at the rim he bails. That's why he's averaged fewer blocks than Gasol. He might "patrol the paint," but he doesn't guard the rim.

c'mon this is def worth a try
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
btw I'm not saying KG is a bad rim protector, but in the scheme of his herculean defensive gifts, it's the least.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
well maybe hes better at defending point guards in the backcourt, but that skill just isnt that valuable is the thing, considering the relative value of the defensive things he does guarding the rim is his most important defensive contribution
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
there's no way he's the second best at it over the last decade though, that's crazy
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
with the twolves he wasn't even as good at it as Nesterovic.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 11 December 2011 17:08 (twelve years ago) link
This is all so great. They can cancel the season and just keep trading star players, then canceling the trades, and concocting new trades, round-the-clock.

Come Xmas day I won't have the slightest idea who plays for which team beyond Dirk being on the Mavs.

not sure what thats gonna do for his game tho, his best skill was being able to lean on dwight howard
