You were keeping that one in the holster....

Rose can still improve as a player and has a shot at getting back some of what he once was (a reason for optimism).
Kobe is ONLY getting worse (no reason for optimism). That's the "read between the lines" difference.

So you're telling me... Middleton, Korver and Green round out the top 4 SGs in the league.

It's fairly common knowledge among NBA decision makers nowadays that "Three and D" SGs are much more valuable than an inefficient, no-defense chucker at SG (which is reflected pretty accurately by RPM).

There's a reason Dallas passed on Monta Ellis to bring in a recovering Wesley Matthews on a massive contract. Kobe is like Monta except 37 years old.

I won't have an issue with Kobe's rating but I swear if he has a higher rating than Dwyane Wade I'm calling bull****.....

I expect Wade to have 87 rating which sounds about right.

5. Jimmy Butler (38 3pt%, All-Defense 2nd)
7. Klay Thompson (44 3pt%, Solid Defense)
53. Kobe Bryant (29%, Ghost)

LOL were you trying to convince us that they are bad defenders and shooters? Or that RPM should be treated as a strict rating/ranking system?

You should have kept quiet and let it go but some people just gotta have the last word (or in this case, GIF) no matter how dumb it is.

Keep quiet? Keep quiet for who? This is a forum Rashidi... get over yourself. You posted the chart for RPM trying to convince "us" (wait, who's us? ) that Evan freaking Turner is a better player than Kobe Bryant solely based on RPM. So, by that same hand, Middleton and Korver are better than Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson... right? Man, Middleton really got snubbed from the allstar game.. . As I said before, there's nothing left to discuss.. Maybe you should let it go.

Oh, and
