So let's talk about the Andre Drummond rule for a second...

First strawman.

Please don't misuse that term. It's not a strawman because it logically derives from what you are saying. Of course players have an "excuse" ... teams still want them and shovel money at them.

Straw. Man.

Care to explain your understanding of a strawman? There's no excuse for a Coli-poster to be misusing logical fallacies at such a high rate. You should be sent back to the d-league for a few months.

You had no idea what lay behind my initial assertion, this language about being a "prerequisite for playing in the league" is entirely from your own mind, don't outsmart yourself.

The only player I'm taking over prime Shaq (of all time) is Jordan. I'm not naive to the overall of benefit of big men who happen to suck at free throws, my point is that as a point of professional pride ALL NBA players should at least be hitting 50.

So this is a rant about how things should be ... just because... and your words have nothing to do with reality or practicality. Why don't you find Drummond on the twitters and tell him this directly? You're probably thinking, "But why would Drummond bother even reading anything I tell him!" And I would respond by saying, "Everything else you've said is divorced from reality, so why should the conveyance of the unrealistic message be grounded in reality?

Ok?

Ok?

Did he respond yet? I think athletes should always respond to attacks on their professional pride.

You're very clever. 5 stars for being clever.

Unnecessary thread

 

[duckbutta]

Why make such statements though? There have been quite a few players that shot 50 percent or less Such as Shaq, Wilt, Dwight, Danny Fortson. Teams obviously believe such players have value despite the inability to hit free throws. If shooting 50 percent from the line was a prerequisite for playing in the league, Drummond wouldn't be playing.

From Shaq all the way down to Danny Fortson though

A Danny Fortson mention at all is
