Chuck Barkley, when asked who he thought the best NBA player of all time was, said: "Gotta be John Stockton. Who else could make an average forward like Karl Malone actually come to be known as "The Mailman?"

...I got news for Barkley! If he would have played with the Jazz all those years instead of Karl, we wouldn't have won as much and wouldn't have gone to two finals! Stockton would throw the ball to Barkley, who would then dribble 10 more seconds off the 24 second clock and force up a bad shot! Malone would go straight up, no fakes, no dribbles....just straight up to the basket, lay it in and generally get fouled as well! Malone has about 15,000 more points than Barkley and that's because he was a much SMARTER ball player than Barkley! Oh, one more thing....you could add another 500 more turnovers to Stocktons career if you subtracted Malone and added Barkley....maybe 1,000. Malone had better hands and did, like I said, alot less dribbling!

Which espn insider are you using, more like 4 dollars a month.

I created an entire thread about this very topic about a month or two ago on the old site, and I went into great detail about this particular deal.

Basically, if you subscribe to ESPN the magazine you are automatically an insider, for free. There are deals quite often to subscribe to the magazine for $4.00/year. That's right, a year. Not a month. I actually am an insider for $12.00 for 3 years. No funny business with the deal either.

If someone wants me to post the deal the next time I see it, I will. I really don't care so if you want me to post it, say so. Should be in the next month or two.

Really is this subscribing through espn or a magazine company?

Through a magazine company, but it doesn't matter. If you get the magazine you get Insider. This is how I did it.

Here is the link to the current deal I posted a while ago, I don't know if the coupon code still works. Just follow the link and type in the code. Be sure to type in the code. It won't say $4.00 when you first go to the link, it will only say $4.00 when you apply the code.

The only downside is it takes about 4 weeks to get the first magazine to your house, which you need to activate insider. But for $4.00/year I would take it. I'm not sure if this particular deal can be multi year or not.

That quote in your signature is incredibly telling.

Are you talking about that I'm a Junior member, and not a Premium member? That's the only thing I can think of. I apologize for not donating. I'm a graduate student, when I'm through I'll be 6 figures in debt. Finances are killing me right now. A large part of my diet consists of tap ramen because it's cheap. Spending 12 bucks for insider for 3 years was splurging for me, and I just wanted to share a freaking deal that may help people out and I get annoying people like you mocking me. You want to make fun of me about all this? Go ahead. So excuuuuuse me for not optionally donating to this forum. Blowhard. (If that's not what you were referring to, sorry for the rant).

Wasn't aware there was a quote in my signature. Either you're mistaking, or I'm not understanding some kind of joke / attempt at humor.

Addendum: This same source has a ranking of lineups for the 2010 playoffs. Among lineups used for at least ~29 minutes (top 5% of lineups) across the 16 playoff teams, Utah's best lineup was Williams, Deron - Miles, C.J. - Matthews, Wes - Boozer, Carlos - Fesenko, Kyrylo.
https://basketballvalue.com/topunits.php?year=2010 playoffs&sortnumber=17&sortorder=DESC

Note the conspicuous absence of Boozer + Millsap together. Such a pairing did make the top 5% of lineups on the positive side in one combination, but it was lower than the lineup above with Fesenko, and it had two other combinations with negative +/-.

The worst Jazz lineup among the four Jazz lineups that made the top 5% in minutes was the Boozer-Millsap lineup that was the most used: Williams, Deron - Miles, C.J. - Matthews, Wes - Millsap, Paul - Boozer, Carlos


Out of ALL lineups (and there are hundreds of them) across all 16 playoff teams, Williams, Deron - Matthews, Wes - Korver, Kyle - Millsap, Paul - Fesenko, Kyrylo was the third most effective, albeit on the basis of only 10 minutes' playing time. Not an implication that this lineup should be used more often than any other; in this case, it adds credence to the notion that Fesenko should've been used more--perhaps alongside either Millsap or Boozer.


And people wonder why I criticize Sloan for not analyzing player combinations, not making more effective substitutions, and not developing players. Fesenko didn't finish any of the four Laker games, and in at least two of those games, he went out of the lineup with the Jazz having either a lead or being close to it--despite the poor FT shooting and limited scoring. The defensive presence was more important, which is what the original article was probably trying to suggest. A coach doesn't need to do much numerical analysis to figure it out; just look at the scoreboard when you put in a player relative to when you take him out. I would expect a coach especially of Sloan's stature and experience to not be mesmerized by the relatively prolific scoring of Boozer (or Boozer + Millsap) vs. an assessment of the opposition and a decision that playing two post players measuring 6'9" or less is probably not effective vs. an opposing lineup of one 7-footer and another PF/C who is either 6'10" or 7-feet plus.

I think I'm late to the party on this one but you have to be S2. ?
