Proudly proclaimed by the official Orlando Magic twitter in 2018, Shelvin Mack led the Orlando Magic in assists per game with 3.9 apg. (Not gonna link it here because this sub is so weird with twitter even if 90% of people and a lot of NBA adjacent people use it but just search it up.)

Elfrid Payton actually led the team with 6.3 apg but he only played 44 games that season, disqualifying him from being a statistical leader.

I don’t really care about the twitter thing at all, but it’s good that you mentioned it; that way it won’t be weird, or anything 🥴

In a bigger picture, yeah it’s not a big deal. It was more about my personal annoyance that I couldn’t directly link the Orlando tweet. The rule to me just feels impractical for this sub.

I shouldn’t have used the clearly exaggerated 90% figure but the reason why I described it as weird was because a lot of NBA updates and NBA talking heads are on twitter.

I understand that people probably already assume that I’m some right wing chud elon musk reply guy but the main motivation for my complaint was simply personal inconvenience.

Isn’t the whole banning Twitter thing politically infiltrating a sub about bball

Mukbeth [OP] | PHI

-16 | 6 hours ago

It was because elon did a nazi salute. The banning was ok but I didn’t really expect it to be permanent like the closing of the sub due to the reddit api thing.

I guess it does come down to that then, but you’d be surprised. I think being a nazi especially in 2026 is pretty cringe (Japanese soldier who kept fighting after ww2 meme) but I also like the convenience of linking from twitter so I guess we will just agree to disagree.

Me when I assume that everything is black and white so I can label people accordingly (despite statements denouncing that ideology). I can choose not to be invested in other people’s conflicts. It’s honestly quite nice. Would recommend.

I just don’t get how a Twitter link makes this post any better. You linked to the stat from an actual stat website, what would twitter add?

Crazy that 90% of people user twitter. I didn’t realize they had 7.47 billion active users. You’d think it would be way more successful than it is

They meant 90% of people just like them. Which would also be wrong, but less wrong.

Shelvin Mack had less total assists then Eldridge Payton

You shouldn’t be allowed to be the per game leader if someone has more of that thing than you and more of that thing per game

If I score 10000 points in 1 game I should win the scoring title even if I never play a game the rest of the season (which btw is actually how the scoring title works, the scoring title just pretends you played 58 games if you played less, the only time this has ever happened is 1985 when Bernard king played 55 games if he had played 51 games that year he still could have gotten the title.)

yeah it only has that rule for team leaders which isn’t an actual title. for stat titles it’s actually pretty common. Wemby did it for blocks just last season and Myles Turner also did it for blocks a few seasons ago.

Thats how all the league leading stats works btw. Wemby as mentioned below won blocks title, Gerald Wallace won steals title due to the same logic

He’s in his late 30s and wasn’t super good relative to most NBA players even in his physical prime. He had a few good years where he kinda came out of nowhere but that was it.

Hasn’t been in the league in almost a decade.

I would have linked both. The purpose was to show that it was acknowledged by their official team account in a tone deaf way.

FUCKFUCKBITCHCUNT

-7 | 6 hours ago

It’s literally a bunch of subs now pretending not to be a sub that regularly talks about Twitter and things on it, by not linking to Twitter but still talking about it. It’s genuinely near site wide empty activism.

OP picked a weird time and shitty way to address it, and like the ship has sailed anyways cause once Reddit thinks they’re doing a protest or causing change it’s really hard to show them they’re actually doing nothing.

Reddit is still the only place I regularly see and hear about what’s on Twitter, on subs anti Twitter, because I don’t use twitter myself.

Mukbeth [OP] | PHI

1 | 4 hours ago

What do you think is a not shitty way to address it?

FUCKFUCKBITCHCUNT

-1 | 4 hours ago

Honestly, I don’t think there is a good way to address it. Reddit is just too stupid for this conversation. They think they’re standing against Twitter by simply not linking to it but continuously talking about it and using it to drive conversation. It’s like an alcoholic switching from rum to beer.

Also, if you talk about it you get the lamest fucking dorks on your side like the dipshit above this using sjw as an insult cause gramps got lost on the way to Facebook. So that also really harms the ability to properly point out that Reddit isn’t actually standing against Twitter in any meaningful way. It’s very hard to be a liberal and point out how regularly liberals do empty gestures and don’t actually fix anything because then you get the other side being like fuck yeah get em and it’s like well no dumb fuck, I don’t want you on my side, you’re a different worse issue, I’m trying to talk to my own side right now, go away.
