    he hasn't exactly been healthy for the Spurs either. He's played in 95 games and missed 74 games

    That skinny bastard single handedly closed the gap between me and the dude I’m beating in fantasy.

    Didn't Zach miss like the first 35 games with the Spurs, since they signed him injured? If I'm right on that, your stat seems rather misleading.

    OUT
    • Zion Williamson (Rest)
    • Trey Murphy III (left knee, partial meniscectomy),
    • Jose Alvarado (right ankle sprain), and
    • Naji Marshall (right knee contusion)

    it's not "misleading"...it's just a fact

    yes, the Spurs signed him when he was injured. So, they paid him accordingly. But he still missed those games....because of injury. Coming into this season, in 6 seasons, Zach played an average of 40.8 games a year. Slightly more than half because of Covid; he played in 245 games and missed 229. Maybe he'll start a string of seasons where he'll play 80 games every year. But his history suggests otherwise

    Facts can mislead all the time.
    The reality is(when context is considered) is that once he rehabbed and got healthy from the injury he had when he was traded, he has missed considerably less games than that stat portrays.
    Timelines matter.

    Devils advocate but I don’t think paying for courtside seats guaranteed meeting anyone. And these guys have hundreds of kids yelling at them every game.

    Also, never meet your heroes.

    Also how does an 8 year old save $2500 for a court side seat, IN THIS ECONOMY?

    Steph is in Texas. His goal is to get out of there alive. I'd bet if Curry saw this replay he'd send that little basketball fan some cool gear.

    hold the phone....that persons 8 year old "saved 2500" bucks to sit courtside??

    That's either 100% bullshit (the amount) or a typo...because there's no way an 8 year old could save 2500 bucks easily and there's no way a parent, a *normal* parent would be like "yeah, I should totally have my kid save 2500 bucks for this shit".

    There's something fishy about this story.

    Just trying to get the kid to get a signed thing from Curry to sell, it failed, and now he's trying to guilt curry into giving him free shit.

    Hope it doesn't work. Cause this is all the adults doing.
