Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2685524, member: 1329"] This is the best way to look at it. He's a great NBA player. Without a doubt. I even think he deserved MVP last year (he literally broke BoxPM and had a higher RPM than Harden). He was markedly worse this year, despite again averaging a triple double. He took less 3s and shot worse on them; He got to the line less frequently and shot worse on FTs; He turned the ball over at a higher rate; He rebounded and assisted at lower rates even accounting for less usage. By most metrics this was his worst season in his last 4. The only things he did better this year was take and make more shots at the rim and make more of the terrible long 2s he takes. Bur he still rates as an All-NBA player in PIPM. As an aside, what is he a champion of? The Western Conference, PAC 12, and the Western Regional? I guess the Olympics? [/QUOTE]
