@No..Money..Mo..Problems

Come in and explain the above clip where Rondo is getting assists for players creating their own buckets/ dribbling TWICE - when you said "It's like the dude doesn't even know once a player takes a few dribbles there is no assist opportunity".

Why are you duckin the question @No..Money..Mo..Problems?

fukk that bandwagon fan @Gil Scott-Heroin

 

[Miggs]

This thread stinks....scorers control giving out assists and most have no clue when it's an assist and when not....

So in conclusion this thread stinks....

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I'm more concerned about him passing off his eye test lists as actual stats

When the fukk did I do this? You need to stop making up shyt breh.

Rajon Rondo leads the NBA in stolen assists

Rajon Rondo(notes) is leading the NBA in assists by a wide margin at 13.3 per game. He's also second in the NBA in steals, pilfering 2.4 per contest. And, as it turns out, he might also be leading the league in stolen assists per game.

All year, we've seen Rajon pulling up in transition to needlessly buffer his assist totals with an unnecessary pass to someone on the break, and we've also seen some dubious calls as Rondo works his magic on Boston's home court. But late Monday night Mark Deeks from ShamSports.com found the strangest example yet of Rondo (to an innocent extent, we should point out), and the Celtics' home scorers giving away assists that weren't due.

No, it wasn't a pass that led to an eventual move and score. And no, it wasn't a needless pass tossed solely to earn the assist. It was a pass thrown by someone else, leading to a Boston score, with Rondo somehow getting the assist credit.

Watch:



Every box score and play-by-play outlet recorded this, as directed by the Boston home scorers, as an assist for Rajon -- when it was clearly an assist for Ray Allen(notes).

Shaquille O'Neal(notes), who then pump faked, dribbled, turned over his other shoulder, pump faked, and scored on the weak side. It shouldn't have even been an assist for Allen.

And yet, somehow, Rajon got the dime.

Now, this isn't a huge deal. But this does warrant scrutiny, because this is the only part of the NBA landscape (outside of the often infuriating block/charge call) that is left solely up to discretion. Not to discredit these fabulous playmakers, but we've seen John Stockton, Chris Paul(notes) and Deron Williams(notes) all take in assists due to very liberal takes on what constitutes an assist from their home scorers. And, as we develop more and more eras as the decades roll on, it would be nice to compare point guards who are separated by 20 years with a degree of certainty we can rely upon.

And though Rondo deserves that assists-per-game lead this season, the NBA needs to pay attention. Too many times we've heard "from Rajon Rondo!" barked by the Boston PA as the other team brings the ball up court, and wondered just what that scorer's table was thinking.

Now we know. They're thinking, "How can we get this guy as many assists as we can?" And I'm thinking, "Why do they make it so that I have to watch one of the league's most dominant and exciting players with a jaundiced eye?"

Step in, NBA. Help us out here. Assist us, if you will.

I didn't read this thread, but there are players that legit argue for their assists from the box-score people. Even if it was a few moves, they'll still ask for it...aka CP3

Another example at 1.11sec of another assist wrongly credited to Rondo - he passes to Pierce across court (well behind the 3-pt line) - Pierce takes FOUR dribbles and weaves to the rim around two defenders. FOUR DRIBBLES (even one behind the back and re gathers) AROUND TWO DEFENDERS. @No..Money..Mo..Problems come in and explain how the fukk that was an assist for Rondo.

BUBUT ONCE A PLAYER DRIBBLES A FEW TIMES THERE'S NO ASSIST OPPORTUNITY.

thread born of idiocy

@No..Money..Mo..Problems I know your dumbass has been lurking about - come in and explain yourself and address all these instances where Rondo was wrongly credited with an assist when the player dribbled more than once/created his own shot.

@No..Money..Mo..Problems get your dumbass in here.

@No..Money..Mo..Problems I'm still waiting for you to address the above examples.
