No, I mean, it's a violently misleading thing with misused names that don't line up with the actual stats, and which doesn't actually show what it purports to show.

The actual run Kobe had in those years was absolutely remarkable, but craptacular presentation like that tweet sullies the actual achievement.

Using overly dramatic verbiage doesn't make what you're saying a fact.

One can argue about the significance of the numbers, but all of the numbers cited are just what they are, cold hard numbers.

None of what I said was overly dramatic, you just don't like it. That isn't the same thing.

But again, it doesn't actually prove what it tries to say it proved. And some of those numbers are actually wrong.

It would have been smarter, and higher-impact, for them to just post the numbers to support the notion that it was a remarkable run, instead of outright lying.
