Yep, afflicted, oft-injured Okafor just recently played his 84th consecutive game, surpassing Melvin Ely's 83.

I've attended more Bobcat home games than Jordan.

I've been to Charlotte, never.

And it only took him 48 more games and 2,295 more minutes.

I wouldn't have expected any less :)

It was on the ESPN.com team page for the Bobcats under one of their news tidbits. Here's a link to the article they took the snippet from:

I agree Felton has been less that stellar but he also has played less time at point in his career than Knight played here. By almost 400 minutes if his pace for this year stays the same. Also 200 less mintues at PG while both were here together.

Felton now holds the franchise record for most turnovers, so if he's had the ball in his hands enough to achieve that, he's had the ball in his hands enough to get more assists.

Here we go again!!


Edit: And I know you didn't start to derail this thread W_Hamilton, Rich did, but can't you not take the bait just once?

Sorry, no.

And if I had more time, I'd gladly check into whether or not Knight played more minutes than Knight at PG, because I don't think that's true anymore either. Maybe I will check with Paydro70 since he seems to know where I can find the exact totals of what position a player played at.

Even if you assume Knight played every one of his minutes at PG (which he didn't), and give Felton the benefit of the doubt by saying guys like Knight last year and McInnis this year were ALWAYS playing PG when they were in the game, the minute totals would still be close due to the games Knight missed and the fewer minutes that he played.

Or of course, you could use simple logic and realize that Felton is not the passer that Knight is, and for that reason alone, given the same role and same minutes, Felton would not have as many assists, which is why it's taken him basically 60+ extra games worth of minutes to claim that record :)

It's all part of my plan to get every thread with Hamilton in it merged into the Felt-O-Meter.

I didn't want to start a fight. I got my numbers from 82games.com. It tells the % of teams total minutes a player plays at any position. I don't know how accurate it is but it was the best I had.
