StatMan - Episode #89: Why are people confused about the NBA MVP debate?

Episode 89

Wednesday, September 23, 2020 • Duration 39:03

In today's episode we question, answer and even re-vamp the NBA MVP criteria because it looks like we end up having dumb debates about it or we just don't understand what the criteria is anymore.

What does MVP even mean? Best player? Best player on the best team? Best numbers in the regular season? Best performing player?

Also, we talked about notable Week 2 injuries in the NFL that will have deciding impacts on teams playoffs aspirations.

StatMan | Episode 87: Luka Doncic is Top 5 Player in the NBA

Episode 87

Tuesday, August 25, 2020 • Duration 27:08

The first chapter in the book of Luka Doncic Legend was written on a Sunday afternoon, when Doncic capped off an all-time playoff performance with an overtime buzzer-beating triple to tie the Mavericks’ first-round series with the Los Angeles Clippers at two games apiece.

Doncic took the shot defenses want him to take at this time in his short NBA career, a leaning, step-back three. But moments often transcend numbers, and sometimes it takes only a sliver of daylight to turn a ho-hum, go-home-in-five series into a dogfight.

Even more than putting a scare into the favored Clippers, Doncic has put the NBA on notice: This feels like Tiger’s “Hello world” or Jordan at the Boston Garden in 1986, a moment when you know something special is on the way.

Doncic’s historic performance puts him in a room entered only by Oscar Robertson and Charles Barkley — at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a playoff game — with a jaw-dropping 43-point, 17-rebound, 13-assist showing — all while being a game-time decision on a sprained ankle he sustained in Game 3.

After Day 1 of the NBA Playoffs we can say with certainty that the NBA is in good hands. Its future is bright with young stars like Luka Doncic becoming the first player ever in NBA history with 40 point in his debut.

That is just the introduction of many other records that were set by individuals and collective teams on Day 1.

We explored all 4 games, project future outcomes and give a look into the mindset for teams on Day 2.

EP85: Final NBA Power Rankings | We Should Be Concerned About the Lakers

Episode 85

Tuesday, August 11, 2020 • Duration 34:43

After a week hiatus, I am back to give you my NBA Power Rankings Top 10 NBA teams going into the NBA Bubble playoffs. I also share a not no nice experience on Twitter with another fellow tweeter, and I round it off with Damian Lillard taking Skip Bayless soul in a Monday afternoon tweet.

NBA Power Rankings

It was impossible to predict what would happen during the season restart after 4 1/2 months off. But even expecting the unexpected, we have to be surprised by the performances of some teams in Orlando.

The title favorites have seemingly had a tough time adjusting. The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers are a combined 7-10. The Lakers have had the worst offense in the restart, and the Bucks ranking 11th defensively over the last 11 days may be more shocking than that. Both Milwaukee and the Clippers lost to the Brooklyn Nets last week.

The Phoenix Suns probably shouldn't have been invited to the restart. But they were, they have their first five-game winning streak in 5 1/2 years, and they're still very much alive in the chase for eighth and ninth place in the Western Conference. The San Antonio Spurs went to Orlando to develop their young players and they've found themselves in the middle of that same chase.

Two playoff series in the East are set. The No. 1 seed Bucks will face the No. 8 seed Orlando Magic, while the No. 2 seed and defending-champion Toronto Raptors will face Brooklyn, the 7 seed. We also know that the Boston Celtics are the No. 3 seed in the East, while the Lakers are No. 1 in the West.

Everything else will be determined in the next seven days, with the Western Conference play-in series taking place on Saturday and, if necessary, Sunday.

EP84: No Debate: Giannis Antetokounmpo is the 2020 MVP and DPOY

Episode 84

Tuesday, July 21, 2020 • Duration 26:06

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the 2020 MVP and DPOY. In today's episode we will study this in depth and make the clear as to why he will win both awards by a wide margin. We also covered Alyssa Nakken becoming the first female coach in major league history, and the NBA setting a date for the season award votes.

Overview: Giannis case for MVP and DPOY

He's the best player on the league's best team and having a ridiculously dominant season at both ends of the floor.

Another season, another opportunity for Giannis Antetokounmpo to simultaneously contend for the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards.

Seriously, the extent of his dominance is getting out of hand. Somewhat buried beneath James Harden's historic scoring eruption is Antetokounmpo's own nightly salvos. He's averaging over 30 points...in barely 31 minutes per game.

EP83: EA Madden NFL Ratings Matter and the numbers prove it | StatMan

Episode 83

In today's episode, we explore the recent Madden NFL ratings, the issues we have with them and why they matter in 2020. We also talk about some interesting occurrences in the NBA bubble, and finish it off with our hot take on the Washington NFL franchise and the name change.

Madden Ratings

It's ratings reveal week for "Madden NFL 21," meaning intense debate among fans about the best players at each position as a tease ahead of the Aug. 28 release date.

While EA Sports has deflated player ratings across the board in recent years, reducing the number of players in the high-90s, it still handed out several 99 overall marks for the upcoming season.

The remaining ratings will be released throughout the week as part of an ESPN special reveal.
