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.

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.

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.

Well, the other thing is that you can’t even really him saying anything to Steph. The other kids in the stands are screaming. Did they think that paying for courtside tickets entitled them to a meeting and an autograph?

Lol apparently. Also I wouldn't pay over $750 for a court side seat. It's a 2.5 hour game. That's just bad.

Yep, that's my gut too. Some people will buy it, but those with common sense and critical thinking skills will be like "wait...your son paid 2500 bucks? and you made him earn it?"

instead of being like "my son earned the money to pay for his seat" with a reasonable amount, he went with a totally made up amount that will create doubt.

Had he said $500, and the adult subsidized the rest, I can understand that. Makes some sense.

But people are fucking stupid, so.
 
Btw, how the hell are tickets still $120 for a 100 level seat for a Wednesday night game against Cleveland? That's an awful price for an awful product.

If you can't acknowledge how misleading the stat is, then you have more of an agenda than I've given you credit for. The Spurs couldn't do anything about his injury history from prior to Zach joining their club, so all that's relevant is his health status once he was active with them. Discount those first 35 games and he's been available about as much as most bigs.

Didnt curry sign his shoes and give them to a kid on that clip? And he comes across as an asshat? Sorry but Curry is first class all the way in my book.

Curry taunts opponents when his team is up by 30. No offense, but your book must be written in crayon.

I was responding to a person who said Zach was never healthy for Portland, which implied he'd been healthy in San Antonio. So the timeline I used was his time in San Antonio.

I didn't do some illogical back-flip and try and pretend time stood still for that particular injury so the games didn't count. He missed 2/3 of that season as a Spur, not as a Blazer or a free agent, and when he came back he averaged less than 18 minutes the rest of that season.

obviously the Spurs are satisfied with Zach as they signed him to an extension paying 17.5M/year. But it's only for 2 years when it could have been for 4, IIRC. So maybe the Spurs recognize the injury risk

There was a computer error and I was able to get courtside tix for Blazers/Mavs game 4 & 6 in 2011 for only $700 each. It was amazing. On the floor, front row. I’ve also sat courtside next to Paul Allen and next to Donald Sterling at Clippers games at $1500/each.

Yeah those are easy decisions on the playoff games! Worth it.

On "the wave" I got a 200 level seat for $100 when everything around it was $250 plus. It's nice when it happens.

Just because you preface an insult with “ no offense” doesn’t make it ok. The irony of your argument is priceless.

He played in 63 of 82 games last year.
I cant find it, but i thought i saw previously the average nba starter plays in 70 of 82 games?

His health seems to be trending better.

I meant to insult your claim that Curry was a good person, he's not, and I gave an example. I was not insulting you as a poster. I generally very much like your posts. That's what I meant by "no offense". However, if you find anything about my posts to be "priceless", I'm ok with that :)
