You spelled Comparing wrong.

Also, I liked this article.

He clearly meant “compraing”:
                                           “pra” = peruse recent accomplishments
                                           “com” = with
                                           “ing” = in the course/process of

thus – “in the course of perusing together the recent accomplishments of…”

How long must we endure this lack of education and/or critical thought?

Looks like someone else fixed it

That’s what I get for posting stuff in the middle of a busy day at work. As always, I’m glad I could increase the perceived professionalism of the site.

Interesting stuff

I forgot how big a splash Iverson made when he came into the league.

Or continues to make

Iverson is always a major story in NBA circles, or do you not read ESPN fool?

Needs to increase his stats in December?

Isn’t being on par with LeBron good enough?

I guess he can do it. Martin won’t be back. So, as long as he doesn’t hurt himself again and learns to stop driving into the double teams, he should be able to do it.

OK, Tyreke, stop lollygagging around, and start putting in the effort. ;)

Pretty sure he meant

Tyreke will need to improve his stats in December to remain on par with LeBron and the others, who improved their stats in December.

The next line:

Everyone except Bryant raised their scoring average in December.

I know, but Tyreke in on par with what LeBrons is doing now, not LeBron as a rookie.

That's a stretch

Tyreke: 18.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 44.6% shooting.
LeBron: 29.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 52.3% shooting.

Yes, they are the only two players averaging above the artificial cut-offs of 18.5, 5.0 and 4.5, but that doesn’t make them on par.

I think I get your point, that Tyreke is doing fine and shouldn’t be pressured to step up more. I agree.

Yes

Too much already IMO

I agree

I don’t know that I want Evans to be trying to increase his scoring a ton this month. I rather see him improve on his shooting %, assists, t/o, etc. Twenty points and five plus assists is solid numbers from anyone. I’d like to see the team improve at stats, but not one player at the possible expense of the team. The good news is, I don’t get the feeling Evans spends a lot of time worrying about ROY or other comparisons. He seems like a lunchpail guy who puts his head down and gets to work. Not a glory hound.

I think he cares but it's not his top priority

and like you I think he is a down to earth guy.

He left that game when he only needed 1 pt to break the 20pt rookie scoring streak, with about 3 minutes to go. And, if I’m not mistaken, he left early in the game where he scored 30pts when there was a lot of time on the clock.

So, I’m sure winning ROY would be important to him & his family, but it doesn’t look to be his top priority.

No, keep driving into doubles

It is not the driving into doubles that I want him to stop.

I just want him to learn to pass out of them better!

That's even better.

Good short read.

Thanks for this, Exhibit.

That stat line rocks...

And it is gratifying to see that K@be was a no account rookie.

I like that he says Jennings will probably be ROY

but when comparing Evans to other players he points out 2 ROYs (Iverson and Lebron) and 2 other superstars from the same draft classes (Kobe and Wade). It’s really just proof that ROY doesn’t mean he won’t be a star. It’s also good to note that the two ROY winners have 0 rings between ’em while the other two have 5
