Apparently his home stats are being inflated to an extreme degree. 66 blocks in 16 games at home vs 35 in 16 road games. Alsona 120% increase in steals at home vs road. He's curre tly leading the DPOTY race and is by far the favorite on most betting sites. Does the NBA not have measures in place to prevent this?

Wonder if the nba tries to sweep this under the rug. But alot of the examples are absurd for him to be credited with blocks or steals
Can someone explain this to me? Thanks

Ah didn't see yours! As for the person who asked about proof/auditing, there's videos going around the reddit thread and Twitter showing which plays were credited and some of them are pretty egregious. Will be interesting to see how the NBA handles this
And it looks like he has put together a compelling case.
People suspected it (as well as for steals where he was #1 all time for those as well) but didn't have the ability to prove it like they do now.
To be fair, it might be easy to get assists when you have a 6'9", 300 pound offensive tackle down low to score.
I don't know how you fudge steals and blocks?
Are they including tipped balls?

Thanks. This is one of those controversies that should not at all be a controversy. We have video recordings of everything. If there’s a discrepancy, show me.
