Arbitrary stats and records need to stop

“This player was the first 6’8” or shorter player ever to post 250 pts and 200 rebs before his birthday while playing half of his games on the road”

Etc


Just.stop.

That’s all I hear or see when watching ESPN or any sort of game intro, breakdown, etc. They mean nothing, and diminish actual records and milestones that mean something.

It turns out that 85% of posts here on blowout that are less that 4 sentences and posted by user with under 1400 total posts and an iTrader rating under 20 are total s**tposts.

Lol, I agree. Just make the stat benchmarks more general and it will be more impressive. “1st player under the age of 23.75 to have 4 triple doubles before having a kid.” Yes it’s a joke but seems close to reality lol
