The obvious joke here is that Gay doesn’t want stats distributed so that everyone doesn’t see how many shots he’s jacking up and missing. Toronto is 6-7 and leading the crappy Atlantic Division after all. Great, who wouldn’t like to see a player focused on wins more than anything? I’m sure the Raptors coaches and execs like hearing that. We’re a team and the stat that matters is the W.” “We come in here after losses, after wins and people are staring at those stat sheets, but that’s not what we’re about. “I wanted to just nip it in the butt before it became an issue,” Gay said. There was no specific incident or moment that led to the decision. “We’re not playing for stats,” Gay explained, via The Sun. The Toronto Sun reports that Gay has put an end to that practice. Rudy Gay has banned stat sheets from the Toronto Raptors locker room in an effort to emphasize the importance of winning over statistics.Įach Raptors player typically receives a stat sheet after games that shows their individual and team stats for the game.
