So we can't argue? Why? Because there actually are reasonable points against your post?
If I were to argue it, which I'm not, I'd say that we've already gone over why ppg is meaningless when not put into context (ie: efficiency), minutes don't really have anything to do with how good or bad a player is, though it does mean he has a lot of stamina, and he got his steals from over-playing and gambling (and losing more times than not). He is a good passer, thus the high assists, and he's great at getting into the paint and getting to the line. For god sakes, he's not a bad player. He does do things right, lol.
But of course, I would never argue those points.
I didn't mean not argue, sorry. I meant to come back with an argument that said that their have been other players to do it, and in fact he is not that good of a player. When you are top 10 in 4 or more categories for your whole career being heavily involved for your teams success, while no one else comes close to that or his consistency, then not one arguement of any category means do or die of a player or how they were able to accomplish it, because none of his peers, PG or SG, comes close during AI's career no matter the argument.
I can make an argument about everyone in the NBA, but I'd rather acknowledge the good and what that player has brung to the game of basketball, because I'm a fan of basketball, period. The game I watch and get my entertainment from, not effiency rating on ESPN.
