Stats don't lie

What kind of person uses a player's statistics to support his case in an argument?
Every statistic can be used as a positive or a negative. For example, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a game could mean: A) Kobe really carried his team that night or B) Dadgum, Kobe was a ball hawg.
Moses Malone led the league in offensive rebounds during his career. Was it because: A) Moses outworked everybody on the offensive glass or B) Moses was a lousy shooter because most of those offensive rebounds were his own missed shots.
Alvin Robertson was one of the all-time NBA leaders in steals. Was it because: A) Alvin was just that good of a defender or B) Alvin gambled too much on defense and gave up two open shots for every steal he picked up.
See what I mean. Statistics don't lie. They just don't tell the whole truth. You can take a stat and make it mean anything you want it to mean.
I like statistics. I think they're helpful in determining players' productivity. But, only when used in moderation.

Congratulations to the area softball teams that qualified for state on Saturday. I watched Smackover yank four home runs out of Lady Buck Yard. It was a very impressive display of power, although I might've been able to hit that girl they went up against.
I didn't see Parkers Chapel or Junction City's wins but Kev was excited, especially about the Lady Dragons' upset victory.
It should be a fun week.
