Who can dominate a game without scoring a single point? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

I can't agree about LBJ.

Question - has he EVER had a game scoring less than double digits?

His offensive scoring prowess is too big a part of his game.

Operation Sports is NOT a website for you to bitch and moan about sports gaming.
That's not the meaning of constructive criticism.

Kendrick Perkins dominates the paint in virtually any game he plays that isn't against Dwight Howard.

A few times.

He wasn't nearly as effective when he did too.

I have a feeling Serge Ibaka will be on this list before too long.

Re: Who can dominate a game without scoring a single point?

ALl LBJs teams needed him to score, I think he could still impact the game in a big way without shooting...

I couldnt easily see him averaging 10 assists and 10 boards over a season

Id agree with Jason Kidd and Dwight Howard as well...

Chris Paul

Tracy McGrady back in his healthy days could do this as well, similar to LBJs situation

And this is coming from a huge Celtics fan who loved Perk on our team.

Can we just sum this up by saying true pass first pg's and hard nosed defensive players?

Jason Kidd came to mind first when reading he topic title.

Is this a serious question?

I hate Kendrick Perkins and don't care about OKC outside of Russ.

Re: Who can dominate a game without scoring a single point?

keep seeing Chris Paul mentioned and as good as he is on defense and at involving his teammates, but I feel like NO needs him to score for them to win.

I'd say Rondo epitomizes this topic because his team really doesn't need him to score. they're set when it comes to scoring. same with Jason Kidd.

but the first guy that came to mind when I saw the topic title was Rodman.

how? if he can't dominate a game by doing what he does best (defending and rebounding), while also scoring, if you take away his scoring (alraedy minimal at best), how can he dominate? he's not really a guy that erases shots like dwight or serge. he's a good positional defender against players that he can outmuscle. but when he has ever in his entire nba career taken a game by the throat, whether he scores or not? what is a signature kendrick perkins game where you look back and say "he owned that evening"?

you're mistaking the question. he can certainly have a good positive impact on a game without scoring, but the question is about dominating a game without scoring. the reason that only a few players have been listed is because their skillsets and their roles on the team and in the game are so elite that they can control the entire game without a bucket. that ain't kendrick perkins.

btw, the best answer ever is scottie pippen.

Chuck Hayes hardly ever scores double digits but always has a large impact on games.
