My reading comprehension is fine. Though I would submit that the confusion is yours. Of course yours isn’t really “Hilarious “ but merely “Pathetic “. We can keep that on record also because obviously everyone cares what your opinion is. Anxiously waiting your reply! kjironman is a fan!!!
I just had to go back and look at the stats... Lol. Yeah, Sheed totally dominated. Except that he barely put up better numbers than Sabonis, even though Sheed was the focal point of the offense and played more minutes. Per 36 Sabonis had far better stats. Even at that advanced age with his legs shot Sabonis scored just as well (without being the focal point of the offense), passed better, rebounded WAY better, blocked better, was a better 3pt shooter and ft shooter. I still can't believe Sheed was 7 ft tall and only got 7rpg... LMAO!!! "Great"... dude's nickname should have been "Candy Cane" https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/2000.html
That's not even close to what was said. I'm not sure what you're implying, unless you're just flat out calling the guy a liar. Which seems extreme. How would you know anything about it, unless Sheed is a close personal friend of yours?
BRoy is so far ahead of Sheed in this conversation that it's a joke we're even discussing it. Legitimately, a sad freaking joke.
A fantastic 7fter who pulled down 7 rebounds per game in an average of 35 minutes. That puts him top 33 in Blazer history, and he played significantly more minutes per game than all but 4 players ahead of him (Walton, Ellis, Wicks, and Thompson). Truly a rare accomplishment.
A sampling of some players we've discussed in this thread per 36 minutes as Blazers. Also added some past and present players for reference. Only considering the 185 players who have played more than 50 games for the Blazers. -Per 36 minutes- (All Time Blazer Rank 50+games) Bill Walton *68 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 18.27 (# 29 ) Reb# 14.42 (# 1 ) Ast# 4.72 (# 38 ) Clyde Drexler *106 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 22.02 (# 4 ) Reb# 6.56 (# 85 ) Ast# 6.04 (# 17 ) Damian Lillard*144 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 23.31 (# 3 ) Reb# 4.35 (# 128 ) Ast# 6.25 (# 13 ) Arvydas Sabas *146 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 17.85 (# 46) Reb# 10.86 (# 20) Ast# 3.12 (# 80) Scottie Pippen *166 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 12.71 (# 49 ) Reb# 5.91 (# 95 ) Ast# 5.57 (# 22 ) BrandonRoy *175 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 19.21 (# 17 ) Reb# 4.35 (# 122 ) Ast# 4.75 (# 36 ) Rasheed Wallace *249 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 17.04 (# 41 ) Reb# 7.10 (# 76 ) Ast# 2.03 (# 132 ) Zach Collins *329 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 12.00 (# 134 ) Reb# 8.14 (#61 ) Ast# 1.93 (#134 ) =============== Just for fun - only 20 games =============== Anfernee Simons *390 pts from Blazer perfection* Pts# 19.27 (# 27 ) Reb# 3.55 (# 250 ) Ast# 3.55 (# 113)
Yep. Those 313 points (fewer, actually, since folks didn't shoot 100%) definitely made him worthless.
It's just the sum of thier rankings in all 3 categories. If they were ranked #1 in Blazer history in all 3 categories they would have 3pts. So perfection isn't really possible, but it was late and I couldn't think of what else to call it.
If you click the link below, you can see Sabonis and Pippen were actually quite a bit more productive than Sheed. Even though he was in his prime and they were washed up old farts. Roy was more productive as well. http://www.sportstwo.com/posts/4790127/
If you think anything about the conversation has anything to with 313 points then I just don’t know what to tell ya?
I dont believe that team makes it to the conference finals without Sheed. Sabas was still really good, but he was a foul magnet at that point (at least vs shaq). Sabonis was also at least in my opinion not capable of playing really long minutes without drop off in his game. Pippen, Steve Smith, etc were all still pretty good but I dont think they get that far without any of them. They were a really complete team and I think losing one would have really put a chink in their armor. I dont really have any strong feelings about Sheed. He was pretty good as a player, probably couldve been a lot better (but thats not super rare), He was an interesting personality and divided teams because people seemed to Love or Hate him. Its not really his fault that the vets on that team werent stabilizers, Pippen should have been. Wallace went to Detroit fit in and never really gave them a ton of trouble because they had leaderships. The whole thing where he was mad at Sabonis. Id be mad too if I thought he had flopped into me multiple times and was actually injuring me. Did he handle it very well? I guess not, but why does Sabas get such a pass for flopping all the freaking time, when most of us complain about other guys who flop and throw there arms around. Guess my point is, I think everyone on that team had their issues, but also on the court all had talent and they needed each other. The failures were partially on Rasheed but it was a group problem.
