Last year, he was just feeling it out. The statistics do demonstrate the improved consistency with the increased role. Brooks has scored in double figures in 37 consecutive games. Prior to that, his longest streak of games scoring at least 10 points was seven.
Long before his last shot on Monday knocked off the Nuggets, his first shot stretched his streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 38, the longest active streak in the NBA and the Rockets franchise record. I'm increasing in every category, so I guess those are most improved things. With just 17 games remaining, Brooks is by far the Rockets' most viable award candidate. The Rockets have not won an individual NBA performance award since Steve Francis was the Co-rookie of the Year in , and if Brooks becomes their first-ever Most Improved winner, it would be a breakthrough for a team that has not had an All-Star, player of the month or player of the week selection this season.
A lot of stuff I've been through in my life basketball-wise, the highs and lows, to finally get an award in the pros would be a big accomplishment for me.
I think we deserve something as a team. We didn't have anybody representing us in the All-Star game. We didn't have any national television games. We are playing basketball down here. It would be good to have recognition for this team. For now, however, he said he is still working to improve, especially late in games. Brooks said he has learned to avoid contact, believing that more is allowed late in games, and how to measure defenses that know he is coming.
Aaron Brooks, Houston Rockets. Uh, huh. Let's take a look, shall we? Okay, it's time to put all the B. What B. S you say? The problem with a phrase like "best" is that it is a qualitative term based strictly on the user's point of view and limited to that person's knowledge of the subject while also being colored by whatever bias they may have.
As opposed to a phrase like "most" as in most yards, most completions, most touchdowns which is a quantitative term and can be easily determined by facts. And here is where the Brooks supporters get themselves into deep donkey crap. If Brooks was indeed the all-time leader in various statistical categories and held the majority of Saints passing records until Drew Brees hit the scene, that still wouldn't make him the best.
But, guess what Saints fans? The "Brooks Brothers" have spent so much time peddling their nonsense of Aaron Brooks being 2nd best because he has "better numbers than anyone until Brees" , they haven't even bothered to notice that he WAS NOT the all-time leader in a majority of various passing statistics behind Brees like they thought.
Most passing yards? Most completions? Highest completion percentage? Oh, don't make me laugh! And UNLIKE every other starting quarterback in Saints history not named Brees , Brooks had the luxury of playing in the passing friendly 21st century when completion percentages are higher due to rules changes and the prominence of the short passing game.
This is in contrast to down-the-field passing of previous decades which had lower completion percentages but higher yards-per-attempt. Is that sCam Newton I hear crying over in the corner, clutching his NFC South title after getting choked out in his first playoff game?
So, how did these folks arrive at their erroneous assumptions? By looking at Brooks' passing numbers inside of a vacuum. Let's take a look. Pay close attention to the four seasons that are highlighted - Brooks' second through fifth season. These four seasons are what Brooks' supporters are always trying to shove down everyone's throats as "evidence" of Brooks' superiority over every other QB to play for the Saints before him and Brees.
You are what your record says you are. Brooks was as the starting QB for the Saints. After Brooks was given the starting job in , he had only one winning season in and the Saints NEVER made the playoffs with him as the full-time starter.
Bobby Hebert was when he was the Saints QB. Under Hebert, the Saints had 5 winning seasons, 3 playoff appearances and the team's first ever division title the 4th playoff appearance during the Jim Mora era was with Steve Walsh.
The Saints were the "best they'd ever been" with Brooks? Oh, mercy. And Brooks propagandists are always the first to tell someone else to "go look it up! Well, except when a Brooks peddler is making excuses for his losing record as a starter. And for being such a high scorer, he is also a surprisingly good passer, just making it all the better for Warriors fans.
Rajon Rondo will basically drive you crazy on the fast break because you don't know if he's faking the layup or if he's actually shooting it. Add the fact he's probably the best passer in the league, and all he has to do is kick it out to Pierce or Allen or whoever is waiting patiently wide open on the three-point line and BOOM, you got an assist.
When he gets out on the fast break, SportsCenter had better get ready for a "Top 10" play. Jason Kidd doesn't run the break too well anymore because of his age, but he sure can help his teammates get into it with a precision pass.
I mean, on this play nobody was even thinking about him getting the ball to Jason Terry—the defense was trying to stop the ball and Kidd snuck it right in to Terry for the dunk. When Ariza disrupts a pass with his long arms, he's going to be looking to dunk all over you on the fast break—and for the most part, he will dunk all over you.
When he goes up on the fast break, he's usually coming down with two more points for his team on exciting and spectacular dunks like that. I think the video is all you need to know about him finishing on the break, but trust me there are many more just as good on the Web.
When you're 6'10" and as long as Kevin Durant is, I think it literally might be impossible to stop you on the fast break. It's just too easy. He shows you he is able to dunk with flair even when a person is there. Incidental rhyming, I know It just makes you think if this guy lost, how good is the guy who won? Sign in. Aaron Brooks.
