this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Or I just don’t get it.

The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived

Concise. Kind of dry. Not really a relevation.

You posted this just to make yours look better?

No. I expect him to continue this in a series of illustrative posts leading to his Z-graphs or other "advanced stats"

Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.

Similar with shot clock violations leading to a turnover.

It was based on the basics of what constitutes a possession

It’s a step in trying to explain how certain metrics work, and why he feels they’re so important. It’s a StR thing really. Even though, I can see why it would interest those interested in sabermetrics.
