Guess who is the only player in NBA with 15 ppg, 8 rpg & 4apg?

[jerrywest]

Hint: He didn't make the all star team.

Acie?

I want to say Josh Smith, but that seems to be the "easy" answer. This has to be a trick question.

[frankthetank966]

Obviously J-Smoove. He has been tearing it up this year. He has really matured.

[NineOhTheRino]

Acie?

don't get me started on Acie.

[niremetal]

Actually, you can take off the 15ppg. He's the only one averaging 8rpg and 4apg.

[Kimsey]

Forgot the 2 blocks and 1.6 steals.

[pimp]

in Feb

17.3 ppg 9,3 rpg 5,1 apg 2.2 spg 1.4 bpg 53 fg% :thumbsupsmileyanim:

[Gray Mule]

& who has the highest % from the free throw line - Hawks??

Those points count too, you know.

:question:

LOL what? Yeah and if you take away the 30 PPG Michael Jordan isn't that special either. Come on.

How can you take away PPG?

BTW, 15 , 8 , an 4 are dang good numbers.

If you want to know how impressive a stat line is, look historically at people who averaged that line for their careers.

15/8/4 doesnt sound like uch but how many people averaged that for their careers?

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.cgi?id=O5gyB

Only 9!!

And that's not including the 1.5 SPG and 2 BPG which would eliminate all but Wilt and Bill Russell

Basically this is the kind of effort where we should be more than stoked if Josh could maintain this level that he's playing right now for years to come.

[BusBoyIsBack]

In fact forget career how about single season?

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.cgi?id=hIfAc

Players to average in single season (at least 75 games)

15 PPG

8 RPG

4 APG

Dude. I was pointing out that even if you take away the ppg, he's still the only one in the whole league averaging 8rpg and 4apg. I have no clue how the hell you read that as an insult rather than a complement. It's no different than someone pointing out that even if you subtract his goals scored, Gretzky is the NHL's all time leader in points. It makes the accomplishment more impressive, not less.

I think his point was that 8reb/4ast is impressive by itself. No one else is doing that, let alone adding in the 15pts, 1.5spg, and 2bpg. I

Wow!!! This is mindboggling.

Nire - you are right. Even without his 15 points he has has unique statline.

[NineOhTheRino]

tried to vote for Acie but surprisingly he wasn't on the ballot.

You must not be familiar with BBIB.

Very good point GM.

[benhillboy]

There are few like him in a generation.

[Joker]

He's a great defender and passer. Offensively weak but is very athletic.

[jhay610]

There are few like him in a generation.

This applies to both Smith and BBIB
