Dannie: You make a great point (#127) about steals, which I hadn’t even thought about. I’m absolutely with what you said…steals as a team stat, is a very important statistic, for the reasons you listed. And you’re right…blanket statements like “worthless” usually suck and are full of holes, will never argue that.

So to rephrase: I believe steals, as a stat for an individual player, is the least beneficial stat out there as far as being able to understand an individual player’s total defensive prowess based on that stat alone. It can tell you some things about a player (usually that he gambles a lot, or plays with a good defensive center, or has nice quickness and hand-eye coordination)…but does not seem to be an important indicator of defensive ability for one person.

Suede I wasn’t talkin about you specifically. Dude when Thad is old enough to grow a beard he is going to be un-freakin-stoppable. if ==================

If Speights proves to be the real deal I am expecting Brand to get traded next year.

For me, a great, great New York Times Magazine piece by Michael Lewis (Moneyball author) on Shane freakin' Battier and statistics. It won't be everyone's cup of tea...

Another writer and I asked Stefanski about the chances the Sixers (Miller) and Magic (Turkoglu) could work out a trade by Thursday’s deadline to help fill each other’s needs with expiring contracts. His response: “In general, it just doesn’t work that easily. You’re almost in fantasy basketball right now. I don’t mean to be mean about it. It’s very difficult to make trades. Having said that, anybody is tradable.”

That’s part of my Sunday column at:

Rob-

Ill piggy back off of your idea.

Have the newspaper attached to the backboard so when he dunks, he can grab the newspaper and go show it to the judges table with your caption, “Spidey nabs Robber”. Nate should be the bandit so he could put Nate’s picture on the paper.

Or maybe have Hip Hop sitting on a bench reading the newspaper and have Iggy jump over him and dunk it. Then he could proceed in giving the newspaper to the judges.

I’d give him a 50!

guest– I think Iggy should be one of the contestants for pure FUN and joy. I have some great ideas for him if he does join.

1. Iggy as Spider-Man. He has someone dressed as a bandit with the basketball, pulls the ball away from the bandit with a clear string, a ball on a string (Spidey’s webbing). While Iggy is running at full speed, Hip Hop with his protective gloves can lift him up high enough for him to pull out a spectacular finish, a sledgehammer or a 360 dunk . Also, attached to the backboard is a camera with a timer. Prior to landing on the ground on a soft platform near the basket,is a rope where he could swing and land on the platform. At the end, he could grab a “Daily Bugle” newspaper saying, “Spidey Wins Dunk Contest” or “Spidey Nabs Robber (picture of Nate Robinson).” If allowed, they should play one of the many Spider-Man themes out there.

Or another superhero he could do is Iron Man, which best describes the durable type of player he is. Play the Black Sabbath song, if allowed. Dunk a little after the song’s rift of “I Am Iron Man” comes up and execute a monster dunk, maybe a “Iron” sledgehammer.

2. Andre Miller or Lou Williams should assist him for one of his dunks to be absolutely sure the dunk is well practiced. Wild cards would be Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson again IF he can execute the dunk at such short notice. I don’t know what dunk that might be. Maybe you guys might have something.

3. The retro dunk. Dr. J should assist Iggy. Iggy should wear the Erving jersey. If you want to go further in showmanship and performance, along with the certainty of executing the dunk, he should wear an Afro and high socks. Maybe he should try one of Dr. J’s dunks. Dwight Howard attempting Dr. J was so-so.

I figure this weekend was the best time to talk about dunk suggestions for Iggy if he joins next year!!

Interesting horse [Geico] contest. Mayo, easily, sinks left hand 15 footer. he reminds me of a young J.Dumars. Not a lot of flash but fundamentaly sound. Greek, If you meant me as a Thad hater, I am far from it, but watching Mayo,Gordon and Fernandez, three guys with more of a personality of a “stick the dagger” in type of scorer just makes me wonder if Thad will ever be more than a complimentary guy than a top flight player. I hope E.S., if the oppurtunity comes up, is not reluctant to use some of his young pieces at a position of strength to acquire a talent at a position of weakness. You have stated that Thad should not come off the bench, but that is a certainty next year when Elton comes back. With Sam, Elton,Reggie,Marreese and Jason next year at the 4/5 positions and Iggy at the 3 it will be a real juggling act to get Thad 30 minutes a night unless Iggy moves back to the 2 guard spot. That is why I personally would move L.Will.,Jason, a number 1 pick or Thad if a 2 guard is available that can step in and start. Azubuike, Dq. Cook, N.Young, Foye,Fernandez are a few examples. I am not a Thad hater but I am a Sixerz fan.
