that gif

travel!

sure, but would YOU call it?

i had to rewind the dvr when that happend and watch it again

ill move but couldnt believe it wasn't called

well when i saw the highlights anyway

lol refs raaaaaaaaaarely call a travel these days especially on a rising star like rondo

haha i'm aware of that, 'sjust he dragged that right foot for like, a foot and a half

yea and king james does a hopscotch into his layups wat is ur point

I kinda wonder about that though - I know you're not allowed to drag your pivot foot but what does the nba say about roller skating

someone should grease up their soles and slide 90 feet to the cup

sliding on waxed parquet vs.

# wikkywah3 its not a travel but he still looks like a faget 48 minutes ago

tbh that move has been in the league for longer than lebron has been playing. but I don't think anybody has been as blatant as that !

nah i know hes pretty much doin a legal move there, i just picked it cuz it was the same game. but this?

from simmons' column 2 day

• Since the 1986-87 season, only eight guards have grabbed 18-plus rebounds in ANY game (regular season or playoffs). Michael Jordan did it three times (once in the playoffs); Jason Kidd did it only once.

• Larry Bird had 69 triple-doubles but never a playoff game that looked quite like a 29-18-13. The closest: 24-17-10 (1981, Chicago), 19-16-13 (1986, Milwaukee), 25-15-11 (1986, Houston), 18-16-11 (1987, Milwaukee) and 24-18-10 (1990, New York).

• Only Oscar Robertson (1962: 32-19-13) and Wilt Chamberlain (1967: 29-36-13) had at least a 29-18-13 in a playoff game before, and in the past 40 years, only LeBron (2007: 27-13-13) and Magic (1986: 29-15-14) had at least a 25-13-13. So, um … yeah.

• If you read my basketball book, you might remember how I created a 42 Club for playoff performers who averaged 42-plus for points, rebounds and assists combined for an entire postseason (12-game minimum). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Rondo also joined Wilt in the 60 Club for players who submitted a 60 (points, rebounds, plus assists) in one playoff game without scoring 30 points in that game. Wilt did it three times, all in 1967: 29-36-13, 24-32-13 and 16-30-19.

• For the playoffs, Rondo is averaging 17.9 PPG, 11.4 APG, 7.1 RPG and 1.9 steals. According to ESPN ace researcher Alok Pattani, only Magic Johnson ever averaged a 16-11-6-2 in the playoffs, and he did it twice: 1983 (17.9, 12.8, 8.5, 2.3) and 1984 (18.2, 13.5, 6.6, 2.0).

• We just compared Rondo to Magic, Wilt, Bird, Oscar and Jordan … legitimately.

if dude could ever learn how to shoot, he'd be top 5 all-time.

solid snippet of that column, which was otherwise "i have a twitter feed, let me tell you baot it"

i'm getting a little sick of the "3rd player to reach 19/17/14 with 2 chasedown blocks on a Tuesday" stats tbh

i am a fan of this basketball player

all of those stats simmons dug up are totally legit/standard stats dude

wtf kind of line is 29-36-13

yeah i was O_O reading that one

I know he's not the only person to use them, and I know it's a nice way to show how a player contributes in multiple categories, but I still find it irritating. I think the data mining in US sports commentary can be obnoxious. I know I'm on the losing end of history.

points, rebounds, and assists?

there's only one stat that counts and that's the one in the W column

Seems to me that the L column also counts somewhat. (\pita)

points, rebounds, and assists?

i was complaining about people touting the combined stat line. "sure, other people have scored more points and gotten more rebounds, but only four players have done that AND had as many assists."

yeah I'm feelin lukas on this one. this year I was kinda bugged by the whole 'tyreke evans is averaging a stat line that only LBJ, MJ and the big O have ever done" - his team still had an awful record overall and are you really gonna say he is as good as those other dudes?

also it's kind of a problem in basketball where the game has changed so much over the years that you can't really use stats to compare players from different eras, cf. that ridic. wilt line above
