    His stats are not the issue I have with him, his stats are ok because he plays way too many minutes. Give Thomas Robinson his minutes and he gives you 14 and 14, compare this with Aminu's numbers are realize he's not even nearly as good as Thomas Robinson

    That's what I thought. Your massive basketball knowledge can't even come up with one simple actual reason.

    That isn't even the same fucking argument as you saying posters in here have more talent than he does.

    I love this T-Rob talk. You've got me actually laughing. Do you know where T-Rob last played? BC Khimki. Where in the fuck?

    Would give us a real PF also. Something we didn't have since we had him

    Maybe in his dimension Thomas Robinson is the gold standard for which all other players are compared to.

    Like comparing David Hasselhoff in America to what Germans think of him.

    So I looked it up. For this where-in-the-fuck Russian team, Thomas Robinson averaged 8.5 pts and 5.7 rebounds. Lol.

    Sidenote: the top scorer on that team? Good old Alexey Shved. Household names.

    Pick another player that'd be better than Chief. This is fun!

    (and if you wanted verification that he's not averaging 14 and 14: https://en.bckhimki.ru/mainteam/stat/)

    I want you to know @Blazer4ever that for the rest of my life, when I disagree with someone, I'm going to tell them they have "shit for eyes." I fucking love it! Thank you.

    In Russia 8.5 points and 5.7 rebounds converts to 14 and 14 in the NBA.

    In how many minutes per game?

    per 36 minutes:

    TRob - 13 points, 13 rebounds
    Aminu - 11 points, 8.5 Rebounds

    @BonesJones

    The comparison is only in their NBA careers

    How do you explain T-Rob's crappy stats in Russia last year?

    He didn't play much, when he played he's been effective, like throughout his career.
    Aminu on the other hand plays way too much

    So a player that couldn't cut it in the NBA and now isn't good enough to play in a crappy Russian league is simply being held back again? That's a pretty poor argument.

    I’m playing Devils advocate here a little so please take this with a very large chunk of salt...

    I always liked watching T rob play, was he a good basketball player? Not really. He was / is an athletic freak though, and he had some spectacular highlights.

    I’m my opinion his biggest problem was in between his ears, he seemed sort of uncoachable, just kind of did whatever he wanted out there. I think you could mAke the “eye test” arguement that when just casually watching T-rob’s natural athletic abilities really pop out. When you watch him closely though he’s constantly out of positions on both sides of the ball, has a tendency to be out of control and seemed to not really pay attention to what the team / coach needed from him.

    T-robs career kind of resembles what it seems like Meyers Leonard’s career should’ve been. Just one had a GM fall in love with something(?) my guess is Meyers 3 point shooting.
