DPOY Reddit Controversy

that reddit post now has a “misleading” warning label on it

 

Very interesting

 

We didn't count blocks in the good old days.

 

Yeah saw this. Instead of that guy calculating JJJ's home vs away stats, he should have did what Kirk G. did and gone through video footage of any of the miscounts, and that would have been more compelling.

On the process itself...

Spoiler: text version

"Official scorers actually don't handle stats like this. They handle fouls. NBA reviews stats like blocks and steals in real time.

Each team has inputters/callers, which are different than official scorers. One of the callers who's at the game with a headset will have input with tracking stats in real time."

After the data is called in, sounds like they have reviewers (more different people) to validate.

 

i say let him have the award this time just as a benevolent gesture. because for sure poor kid's gonna be out injured next year again like he always is

 

all this fake manufactured conspiracy did is make JJJr look even more impressive on defense because now everyone sat down and went through his film

 

JJJr with another 5 blocks at home tonight against Indiana

he really is just that guy on defense

hell, they might actually be underreporting his blocks and steals on the road

 

We totally count blocks in the 90s

 

And the 80's how else would Hakeem be the All-Time block leader.

 

it’s sad that that fake, manufactured controversy actually got a little bit of traction

JJJr is just that guy

 

they should give it to hakeem this year just to be sure.

 

I like the double conspiracy that it was actually a Memphis fan that put up that first post just to get people to go through JJJ's tape and acknowledge how awesome he is. He's actually been even better since then. 100% DPOY.

 

Redditors will believe anything if it gives them a reason to be outraged. complete morons

 

all because of reddit. we all know yannis deserved it more
