[/ QUOTE ] not trying to be a jerk... but alot of the stuff in here is actually good...this ones kinda worthless... he threw an INT before a TD...so what [/ QUOTE ] Its the internet. Your post is even more worthless. Go [censored] yourself. [/ QUOTE ] chillllll [/ QUOTE ] Obviously you are qualified to critique posts.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If some statistician was really bored and could manage to get together something like 1000 facts that are near as good as some in here, he could make a hell of a lot of money. There are 10-15 things in here that have made this thread one of my favorites in a long time. [/ QUOTE ] I have absolutely no idea about the publishing industry, so please tell me how exactly one could go about putting a book(I'm guessing thats where you're saying the money would come from) together and getting it published? I think I could easily come up with 1000. [/ QUOTE ] I think you should start Icy Pots Publishing. But, yeah, I'm sure the market is there. Especially if the book was marketed right. Kind of like a Ripley's Believe It or Not of sports. [/ QUOTE ] I have no doubt I could write the book...but whats the next step after that? And yes, Icy Pots Publishing would rule the world of publishing.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Ben Gordon is the 9th best 3pt shooter in NBA shooter in NBA history if you go by 3pt FG%, 2nd only among active players to Steve Nash. [/ QUOTE ] Jason Kapono doesn't qualify because he has too few scored/attempted or something? He's ahead of both. [/ QUOTE ] No, he does qualify and hes 10th. [/ QUOTE ] NBA.com Kapono Career 3 pt % = .459 (not counting 2 for 4 in playoffs) Gordon Career 3 pt % = .418 (not counting .390 mark in playoffs) Nash Career 3 pt % = .426 (not counting .419 in playoffs) so no matter which way you look at it (Reg Season only or add in playoffs) there is no way Nash leads in active 3 pt shooters unless there is a 3P Made requirement (Kapono only has 230). But since you said Kapono does qualify your info is not correct (unless NBA.com is wrong). [/ QUOTE ] One of us is getting wrong info from a site. You may be right for all I know. I'm getting my info here: http://www.basketballreference.com/l...tppct&lg=n

[ QUOTE ]
On a side note: 1961-62 Wilt averaged 50.4 PPG and 26.4RPG, leading the league in both categories, and his team went 49-31, and he did not win the MVP. The MVP (Russell obv) that year did not make first team All NBA. The same occurred in 1960-61 (Wilt led in PPG, RPG, and FG%, was 1st team all NBA, and did not win MVP). Of course, it gets worse in 1962-63, when he leads the league in PPG, RPG, FG%, and doesn't make first team all NBA. [/ QUOTE ] Ted Williams hit .406 and led the league in HR in 1941 and didn't win the MVP. He won the triple crown the next year didn't win the MVP.

In 2004 Barry Bonds was intentionally walked 120 times. The closest any Non-Barry Bonds (he has 2nd and 3rd place as well) is Willie Mac's 1969, which he had 45, or a 267% edge for Barry. [/ QUOTE ] That reminds me of one of my all-time favorites. In 1961, when he hit 61 HR, Roger Maris had 0 intentional walks.

I'm going to guess he picked a guy off first with 2 outs in the ninth in a tied game and the O's won in the bottom half? [/ QUOTE ] Semi-brag: I was at the game when Tippy Martinez picked off three runners in one inning.
