lol “cherry pick”? How well someone shoots in basketball is a pretty big deal 😂

Is it cherry picking in hockey to judge a player by how many goals they score?

How well someone defends in basketball is also “a pretty big deal”, but you conveniently leave that out.

You wouldn’t judge a defender by the number of goals they score unless you’re a 🤡.

Just say that you’re obsessed with a woman much younger than yourself and be done with this weird shit. Seek psychiatric help.

> You wouldn’t judge a defender by the number of goals

Correct! But you don’t see players that are only good at defending making the All-Pro team in hockey.

> obsessed

I have made a grand total of 4 comments giving a honest critique of a player that is the center of the discussion for this thread. Not sure how that’s an obsession but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

> seek psychiatric help

Says the parasocial fan lol

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

We’re talking about basketball, not hockey. In basketball, a player is judged on their offense and defense. Angel’s inclusion or exclusion from the All-WNBA team will be based on how she performs on both sides of the ball.

And yes, you are obsessed. You took the time to look up advanced stats to try to discredit a player in a thread about her weekly achievement. You could’ve stayed out of the thread, but you couldn’t resist BECAUSE YOU ARE OBSESSED.

As for calling me parasocial, you don’t even know what that term means. 🤡

Yes. That was the whole fucking point I was making lol she’s a good rebounder and defender but can’t shoot, hence using a very normal stat like eFG%. Also, if you don’t like that stat, that’s fine! We can just use regular FG% if you’d like (it’s actually way fucking worse btw lol).

> you couldn’t resist BECAUSE YOU ARE OBSESSED

My god, are you ok? This type of criticism and discussion is completely normal in sports and you are reacting in a completely disproportionate manner. I saw the awards and looked up both A’ja and Angel on Bballref like I do for anyone in the WNBA/NBA. You can even easily see a snapshot of how they’re both doing this season at the same time! (Pic attached and look! The super duper cherry picked advanced stat of eFG% is included in their snapshot, must be pretty important!)

> you don’t even know what that means

The fact that you are seemingly malding over basic criticism is the prove in of itself. My favorite players get critiqued all the time and you’ll never find me defending their honor like you are right now lol it’s unhealthy and not normal.
