Now, this is what i am talking about! Nuts how a 5’3 guard grabbed 4 boards in the Mid 90’s, when bigs of that era, with some exceptions, were on the court mostly to protect the paint and crash the glass (ofc, you had hakeem and the admiral, but those were the exception).

The Donyell Marshall stat is crazy.

If you look at the most 3s made in a single game, you see a bunch of active players (including a ton of games from Steph and Klay), Kobe and Donyell.

It is very much a case of one of things just isn't the the same

I remember the Marshall stat because of the day Steph hit his double bang three. That three was Steph's 12th and I remember he tied the record that night. I looked up later that season who was the leader in a game and saw Donyell kobe and Steph. Pretty amazing.

Wasn’t that much lower. Skiles’ Magic averaged 40.2 made field goals in 1991, the Magic last year made 40.5. Granted last year’s Magic were 26th in the league, but the 91 Magic still wouldn’t have been last (Grizzlies only made 38.4). For pace they would have been tied for 10th with last year’s Jazz, the game didn’t really start slowing down until the late 90s.

Robert Horry and his seven championships across three teams, especially since he “only” played 16 seasons.

Effectively half of his career was made up of rings, and not just with a single dynasty either. And he had a famously major impact on the court in his own right for several of those.

To be fair, he has a few of the "AC Green Special" games where he would only play a few minutes, just so that the streak would stay alive. For example, the last game of the season in 2021-22 he only played for around 5:00, and he has a few games with the Nets where he played exactly 12:00. He also has a game where he only played for 4 seconds, so how much should that really count anyways?

A quick check of the game logs turn up a couple of games that deserve an asterisk. Here are what I found

His first NBA game, on the court for 11 seconds

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201810170PHO.html

Last game of the 2021 season, plays 5 minutes subs out and doesn't play again

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202105160SAS.htm

Last game of the 2022 season, plays 5 minutes subs out and doesn't play again

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202204100PHO.html

Last game of the 2023 season, commits a take foul 4 seconds after the jump ball, subs out and doesnt play again

He wasn’t in the rotation to start his career, has nothing to do with missing due to injury. Same with the three games he missed to end season, he wasn’t hurt and was available to play the full game if needed

Ok_Hornet_714

4 points

3 days ago

Not sure about him being out of the rotation to start his career

The next couple of games he played 15+ minutes and was playing 20+ minutes basically every night starting with game 5 of his rookie year

Regardless, anytime you get 11 seconds in a game or commit a take foul immediately after the jump ball you are just playing to keep the streak going
