Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2506883, member: 3535"] Hey Digger! As usual I love your posts!! Wish you posted more. :) Regarding Bird/MoJeff- I don't know what else to do when I throw those efficiency numbers out there. Just like assists to turnovers as well. Heck the joke with Swin Cash was that she'd miss easy shots just so she can pad her offensive rebound numbers - so she must have brned Bird's assist number? j/k. :) Though it was a joke but a lesser player can hurt a pg's assist to turnovers etc. And who played the tougher schedule? Is today's game better scouted than the past etc? So when I read from some that Bird is better. The line is something like "I never saw anyone run the team like her." So when I throw the stats out there in which MoJeff has the better assist to turnover ratio and the better shooting % -- the stats from MoJeff are super great. An efg% of 61+% PLUS taking care of the ball in the manner she did- that has to count for something. My comments don't mean to suggest MoJeff is the better offensive player. But MoJeff shouldn't be discarded. And ofc why this is all so hard an basically subjective - on the flip side a lot of her offense came from her defense than Bird. SO when MoJeff has had a breakaway and she scores on a gimme layup it's not really her offense. Thus her offensive fg% has quite a bit due to her defense as well as her passing. :)If she went in her prime college career vs Bird would she be able to affect Bird's efficiency?" :) We shall never know. :) Yet how about Bird? Those teams in her era used to press fullcourt a lot I think. Many teams just couldn't deal with it. SO was Bird of 01-02 in which her team caused 19 turnovers per game actually more available to make direct passes for assists than MoJeff's 15-16 team that caused 20 turnovers per game? Imo some of these comes to down to preference and perception. Do you know what I wish? :)A game created that you can draft UCONN players and set up some type of tournament online in which the game is played out-- a best of 7 series - or a regular season - then the playoffs then you ultimately you advance. It won't prove a darn thing but it would be fun -- a computer simulation of a prime college Bird vs a prime college MoJeff etc. :):):) [/QUOTE]
