[@KingstonHawke]

Luka is a gimmick, but everyone blames everyone and everything else. He gets more points and rebounds because they don’t play traditional, but not playing traditional also is why they are a .500 team. No one says it’s Luka’s fault he has to learn to play more traditional, they just say, I wish he had a top five teammate. Sucks on defense, shoots poorly, and can’t play with traditional bigs.

[@ΓιώργοςΚαπάτος]

And what jxmy saying is that if this might seem confusing there is a simple explanation : evolution. Between different eras the game has changed alot. And one of the reasons is quantity. Yes quantity affect quality. More teams brings more players. More players brings more competition. More competition leads to increase the odds of improving so you can win which finally leads to more odds for a new star to come up. And as a new star is born others will be inspired ahd motivated to get better so they could stay close or even pass him. A self powered circle. In one word evolution. Which explains why the average level of today's era is better than those from former eras. Which again explains why as the years pass a more complete and better player will consider as the goat. So far we have Bill and Wilt, then Magic Kareem and Larry, then MJ and we might have to wait so we can see who will surpass MJ. I know some don't believe this is possible but in 100 years from now maybe not even one of this players will be in the eternally goat convo.

Two big points you didn't mention: 1. Totals are highly correlated to pace. Change it to per 100 possessions instead of per game and they're still great, but not best ever 2. This is a 20 game sample, and over the course of a full season most of the crazy numbers from the beginning go back to earth

[@DebasedAnon]

Yup, pace always gets ignored for whatever reason. Take pace into account and Wilt goes from unbelievable numbers to very good numbers, LeBron goes from "omg hes just as good at this age" to "hes good but nowhere near what he was" and for Kobe/Jordan it makes it vastly more impressive what they did. If you take into account all the rule changes and how easy defensive fouls are to commit now and you'll see the numbers shift even more back to normalcy.

LeBrons career basically follows the trens of higher scoring games which has made his longevity seem vastly better than it is in reality. He has noticeably declined but if the average scoring keeps increasing even if he contributes less and less he'll still be around the same, its the same reason why former NBA players will tell you that MJ would average 45-50 without a hint of irony cause he could break 40 easily.

​​@@jonnythekill123 Nope. Jokic may be the best ever offensive center. But he isn't the greatest scorer for them. Also, this award would measure efficiency. Someone can get the scoring title by averaging 35 points on 44% shooting but he isn't better than the guy who who averaged 33.5 on 56% shooting is he?

[@1234jokerboy]

Of all the players in the race, many of them continuously put up insane numbers when they play. But Jokic is the one scariest for me. Man was not even dropping offensive numbers at the start of the season cause of his healthy teammates back, but he came into the 3rd-fourth place because of his past two games. He's ability to achieve that is insanely crazy to me.

[@MAXPAUERv]

And Jokic as reigning mvp simply cut his shots, making more comfortable his mate Jamal Murray after the injury, i really love the way this team play...i don't know if that's coach Malone or the joker, but there is something special

[@akshpatel9717]

coming back to the end of the regular season, currently there are 5 people who finished the season averaging over 31 ppg, there are 7 people with over a score of 42 in ppg+rpg+apg and steph and shai cudve been 8th and 9th if they had done only a little better, as they scored 41.7 and 41.8. not only this, but KD has the highest true shooting percentage with 67.7% for a person scoring at least 25, 26, 27, 28 and even 29 ppg in a season, and he accomplished this in the 2022-2023 season. Additionally, at 74.4%, louis king is doing the same for at least 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20+ ppg this season. Jokic is doing the exact same for 21, 22, 23, and 24+ ppg at 70.1 ts%. This season, true shooting records were set all the way from at least 13 ppg to scoring at least 29 ppg. That is absolutely incredible. 2 of the 5 greatest nba games of all time according to gamescore were played this season, 3 of the 10 greatest, and 4 of the 15 greatest. Thats absurd. For anyone who said this wasn't going to continue when this video was published, you were 90% wrong. The stats are still crazier than ever. Edit: After reading all the comments and critism about how jymx cherry picks data, well, it feels great for you to be completely wrong.

[@lorenzo.filamor6736]

yo jimmy can you make a video on players like jeremy lin, derrick rose, and blake griffin? like a what - if video about rookies who started off really well and then went downhill from there? I've been watching ur content for 3 years now and i love it so much. would really appreciate bro. thanks.

[@Veenixx]

bring back trap sax

[@nimaghomeshi5877]

Not sure you can put those three players into the same box of "rookies who started off well and then went downhill". Rose was an MVP with multiple great seasons before an injury compromised him and now he's still playing well but not at the same level. Griffin is a similar story but was never anywhere near as great as Rose. Lin had an amazing stretch of games in one season and that's about all that can be said for him. So, again, three very different players.

[@simplpoints]

Since these are complicated dynamics, I am sure there are many ways people want to contest your claims (e.g. looking at other metrics, normalizing metrics against league average etc.). But I have to say, the way you use dataviz and narrative devices is impressively compelling. I am a teacher in quantitative methods and I am honestly considering recommending your videos to students. Being able to tell a story based on numbers is not trivial. I think a lot of NBA "analysts" could learn a lot from you. Keep it up! Love your content!

[@manojkanoj9037]

I think this is a great discussion of how players are scoring absurd numbers, but I think an adjustment for "points inflation" is necessary to really talk about these trends. I'm not sure exactly sure what that adjustment would look like, but it would be interesting to see how they stack up when you normalize for league-wide trends.

[@enzo69420]

Steph somehow averaging his best numbers ever at the age of 34.. now that's just wild.

[@daniellazo888]

Why do people keep thinking 34 is old. This isn't the 90's anymore. Sports training, medicine, rehab, diet, all have advanced significantly in the last 30 years. And Curry took a whole year off.

[@michaelturrin3482]

It’s a race between Giannis and Luka can’t wait to see more

[@sarashiki7920]

The problem with the PPG graphic is that nowadays defense is treated with much more scrutiny resulting in higher amounts of foul calls and points. Teams are giving up more shots and transitioning to a completely offensive game which is why you can expect 9/10 games to go triple digits and beyond. I think the mvp caliber players are all good scorers but these numbers are heavily inflated from just playing in a different era.

[@ftgj3270]

Draymond watchin the Bulls play “that’s a half time score” right😂

[@cfl4286]

This should be factored in and is definitely worth a mention. The league is so slanted towards offense nowadays in terms of foul calls and rules (players can take three steps sometimes even more, moving screens are rarely called, etc.) that you do have to take these insane numbers with a grain of salt. Players are averaging so many points because the league wants them to. Look no further than their international numbers to prove it.

[@Anthonydu01630]

Bullshit, only Embiid and Lebron averaged over 30ppg last season, same for the season before it was Curry and Bradley beal. Players are just on fire this season, Curry, KD, Giannis, Embiid, Jokic, Kawhi, AD, Dame, PG, Kyrie, KAT ect are all in their prime and Lebron, Harden, Doncic, Tatum, Ja, Mitchell, Booker, SGA ect are close to their prime. The league just has never been this deep because their is no difference of playstyle, pace or rules between last season and this season .

Awesome video. And these stats are mind blowing. Also, I always maintained that the MVP should be about the individual performance and value to the team, no matter the record of that team. Being on a bad team or playing with guys that are underperforming doesn't make it less of an accomplishment if you're playing on a high level, it makes it harder. The fact that Curry is 10th is just insane.

[@Bartleby1892]

In defence of the old-school MVP votes: It feels like the perception of the terminology has changed throughout the years. Like nowadays it often just comes down to "Best Player" while it originally was more like the player who was the best in relation to his teammates. To give a guy credit even if he didn't make play-offs with his trash team but popped off individually.
