Quote from: L'oignon
OKLAHOMA CITY—Thunder guard Kevin Durant dribbled the ball 73 times in the fourth quarter, leading all dribblers with 186 bounces in Oklahoma City's win against the New York Knicks Saturday. "At first I was trying to just be patient and dribble only when I had to, like to avoid traveling and to run the offense," said Durant, who is third in the league with 147.6 dpg and a 99.8 dribble percentage. "I know we're not supposed to admit it, but yeah, by the end I was counting. 182, 183, 184, 185, 186 bounces. It felt good. Honestly, I was in such a zone that it felt like I was dribbling on a court twice as big." Durant also led both teams with 43 jumps and 1,227 steps taken

That is so typical of today's NBA. Players always looking out for themselves. Counting dribbles.

That would be a good stat.

I'd also love to see a stat for the amount of time each player has the ball in his hands.

I hear the official scorers in OKC are pretty lenient. Would not be surprised if they were giving Durant credit for phantom dribbles.

I heard Ricky Davis has been dropping into Spider Drills during garbage time to inflate his DPGs.   ;)

What a freaking meaningless statistic.

Do they have a stat that tells us how many left-handed dribbles he takes in warmups?

Geez

An aside....His team won the game.

I know. I swear, a couple of those were just plain drops that he recovered.

Andre Miller must be #1 in the league in dribbles.  I'd be surprised if there is a close second.
