Yes, they do. Just not the Americans. ;)

By the way, Alec Wintering is an American and he averages 3.9 assists per game - so unless I am missing something - clearly that chart/graphic is wrong.

Remember when Pierce got stabbed all over his body and face busted in with a broken bottle and had lung surgery but then, a month later, started for the Celts and played every game that season?

Man, that was awful. I'll be if you would have placed a $100 bet on him becoming an NBA Hall of Famer at that point that you would be a very wealthy person now as the odds would have been astronomical.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

And honestly, if they weren't so close to Russia at this time, ( and i'd include Syria here ) they might beat out US in total quality of life.
