I never said it was impossible or it didn't happen. Iverson is the one real exception to the rule. He was acting like every star in the league was running 40 minutes a game easily.


1999-00 NBA Leaders | Basketball-Reference.com

Iveron averaged 40.8 MPG in 70 games that year and didn't even rank in the top 20 in minutes played.

2014-15 NBA Leaders | Basketball-Reference.com

Karl Malone in 99-00 season was ranked 20th with 2947 minutes. James Harden was ranked first last year with 2987. A 36 year old Karl Malone would have ranked third last year with minutes played.


Do you not realize how fukking ignorant you are in regards to this sport or are you still pretending like you have any knowledge of basketball prior to 2009?

these nu breed aint shyt

Hating = disagree with MY opinion :mjlol:

Stanning = You like something I dont like :lolbron:
This thread is far from being a lining in that explanation. If the OP made a thread questioning Curry's durability by referencing the cause and extent of his injuries this season in a reasonable manner, and detailed why this MIGHT be a cause for concern going forward - @NY's #1 Draft Pick wouldn't have said "Hating ass thread" in the first place. He only said that because the OP posts a picture of Curry crouched over followed by a LeBron gif of him dunking. Then the OP makes a few passing jokes about Curry being light-skinned and that he wants LeBron to assert his position as being the best of this era (over Curry who has been the face of the league this season).

How the fukk isn't that hating?

My biggest complaint about this whole fukking season is Luke running ole boy into the ground. The team starts playing like shyt and Steph has to do all of the heavy lifting to pull them back even. He should just do what Pop does. Let them sorry nikkas learn how to do it without Steph on the court.That's how Kawhi, Danny Green, and Patty Mills got better. Pops sat the big 3 and let them play through shyttiness.
Can you explain to me how Curry is being run into the ground, and cite all the heavy-lifting that he does?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your link says Michael Finley was the leader in minutes played at 34.25?

:mjcry: i remember exactly what i was doing that day.

I believe our game was the 1st of the 4 weekend playoff games on saturday or sunday.

it was the first game. I was soooo pumped. and I watched the first 3.5 quarters. then had to leave for my daughter's piano recital. I thought it was in the bag, and they were up double digits as I get out the car.

it was crazy cuz we were in the recital, and I saw a shytload of grown men all of a sudden get a :mjcry: face as we all got notifications about the :deadrose: injury via smartphones.

At 34 years old, he played 82 games and played in 39 or more minutes in 47 or more games.

Only reason his average was at 39(seriously you're going to semantic me over one minute?) is because he sat 4th Qs in massive blowouts. They same thing applies for all his later seasons and even more so his earlier seasons

MJ is the worst example you could use. Basically never took games off and almost always logged 39-40 minutes
you never watched basketball before 2009 eh?

Kobe:
00-01 41 MPG
01-02 38.3
02-03 41.5
03-04 37.6
04-05 40.7
05-06 41
06-07 40.8
07-08 38.9

Lebron:
03-04 39.5
04-05 42.5
05-06 42.5
06-07 40.9
07-08 40.4

Even Tim fukking Duncan was getting high 30 minutes:
97-99 39.1
98-99 39.3
99-00 38.9
00-01 38.7
01-02 40.6
02-03 39.3

KG:
97-98: 39.3
98-99 37.9
99-00 40
00-01 39.5
01-02 39.2
02-03 40.5
03-04 39.4
04-05 38.1
05-06 38.9
06-07 39.4


You ready to admit you don't know your shyt?


And if you respond with "39 minutes per game ain't the same as 40" then you're a moron and just quit while you're behind. Superstars routinely averaged a fukk load more minutes than the stars of today and no one bytched that they were getting too tired or anything like that. These guys also didn't take "rest games". All of this is new age shyt.

I could split hairs, but y'all got me.

:manny:

I was fairly certain superstars were in the mid 30's, but because they did it don't make it good practice. The goal is to win championships. If he takes a damn break during the season to do it what do I care? He's fragile.
