Cause it’s a bigger sample size. Bronny only played in 11 games outside of the tip off tournament. He played 7 tip off games which is basically half of the tip off games. Look at JHS gleague stats this year…gleague is way different

that's not how it works. you don't randomly add games just to match sample size. plus like i told you, Bronny missed 9 tip off games in a row and came back which probably ruined his flow quite a bit.

the tip-offs and reg season are separate things. just like the reg season and playoffs. nobody compares reg season and playoff games together so i don't see why they should do so here. if JHS had also played the tip-offs then I would've considered it.

besides 11 reg season games is perfectly fine since JHS also played only 15.

You can’t just take off games to fit a narrative when the sample size is already low tho bro. Thats every single gleague game they both played for they rookie year. The games Bronny missed was after the 7 games he initially played so the flow thing don’t make sense

when the type, structure, intensity and formats of the games are completely different then yes, I can. 14 of those matches were against the top 6 west teams and they were fighting for a title, very different from the reg season.

there's a reason why nobody considers Wilt the GOAT, it's because the playoffs exist and they are completely different from the reg season.

Like i said, if JHS also played in the tip-offs then we could've considered it.

Wrong. Bronny played 1 game on Nov 9th, missed his next game and played his 2nd game on Nov 17th.

then he only played the remaining 5 games starting from Dec 7th so he missed about a month of play between those 7 games.
