Russell,
Damn man, it was one hell of a ride. The numbers are beyond impressive but even they don’t do your season justice.
28.1 points.
7.3 rebounds.
8.6 assists.
2.1 steals.
I won’t even bother looking up the other players who have posted those numbers for a full season, but I feel pretty confident saying that you’re in some extremely exclusive company.
I probably don’t have to tell you this, but the grind of an NBA season can really drag on. There are way too many games and there’s way too much time for people to stay focused solely on basketball. In a sport that’s fueled by stars, you were one of the players who made this season so much fun in spite of that monotony. Of course, that doesn’t stop people from talking.
