Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2039204, member: 3535"] First off - I don't agree in even mentioning NBA stats of a grown man vs a sophomore college kid (imo mentioning pro Bird vs College Lou as a comparison is like me remembering that Geno once compared Baggy to Green and then go on to say that Gabby isn't shooting the ball like Green did last year and thus it is driving me nuts because there were several posts this year that Gabby could knock down 3's and from posters who saw her in high school and said she was a good outside shooter. Yet even now her ft shooting is now worse than last year and it is on a down trend. I am not "going nuts over this." Juts bringing up a counter point to focusing on stats of pro player vs college kid.) . Secondly, Larry Bird was taking in his three years in college between 20-25 shots per game because he WAS the offense. Thus even with a focus on him- ofc you are going to see opposing teams look to double him more. Lou's I playing with kids like Collier and Gabby. What team in their right mind is going to double-team Lou leaving someone like Collier open who is shooting something like 68%? So where do you see Lou getting double-teamed? And - when Bird was taking 20-25 shots per game, he didn't take any shots on the inside when he was doubled? Isn't that the only time you would ever see Lou doubled? So why mention Lou vs a double-team? [/QUOTE]
