My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable.

What are some of those stats?

Most are self-evident. But some of them? I figured out that Fautes are fouls… further broken down into committed (Fte) and drawn (Fpr), a very good stat actually. But I cannot figure out In, Bp, Ev.

Looks like Nichols is doing well too. 16th in Moyenne de points. 8th in the Pro A league in Points/Min. Points/Minute? If that is a stat, I think we’ve found the final destination for Mookie.

After looking at it:

EV == PER
PB == Assists
IN == Steals
BP ( translated as stray bullets) But I am pretty sure its turnovers

LOL the French have one of the smallest vocabs of any language, hence the funny terms.

They are struggling to create terminology for most modern culture. When the revolution happened over there, the government VOWED to have a complete language. It has only grown by about 15,000 (OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED) words since the 1800s, if I’m not mistaken. There is a ton of slang and cognates widely used from UK/US, but the government is vehemently opposed to the inclusion of cognates.

Email used to be called Les Emails over there. But they forced themselves into creating a new term so that they didn’t have to keep leaning on English. The new word is pretty clever, couriel. It is derived from courier electronique!

Ok I’ll shut up now.
