"With everyone having an opinion about who belongs in the conversation about the greatest players in NBA history, finding an unbiased take is difficult. Enter win shares. Win shares is a complex formula that attempts to take factors such as scoring, rebounding, passing, blocks, efficiency, and overall team success and quantify them into one easy-to-understand stat: wins.
For instance, each player on a 60-win team will receive a share of credit under win shares, while the best player obviously receives the most. That rewards players who drive winning and not so much for the ones that don’t. It also rewards longevity, as we’ll soon see."
The real MVP, there’s no way I was gonna click through 50 pages lol
If you're interested in it; I took notable players top 5 Win Share seasons and got the following:
10 - Karl Malone - 79.85
9 - Chris Paul - 80.02
8 - Dirk Nowitzki - 80.4
7 - David Robinson - 87.8
6 - Oscar Robertson - 88.7
5 - Lebron James - 90.21
4 - George Mikan - 94.38
3 - Michael Jordan - 100.75
2 - Kareem Abdul Jabbar - 105.8
1 - Wilt Chamberlain - 112.32
I dunno.. i just wanted to see. CP3 is pretty good and George Mikan and David Robinson isnt talked about enough.
Very interesting! I’ve always been a big fan of the Admiral. Also of course Wilt is #1 lol
Since an average NBA Player lasts around 5 years in the NBA. I'm wondering what the ranking would look like if you only took a players top 5 seasons' win-shares
@secondaccountlemmy @haulyard there are skills you can't measure with statistics, hence this discussion can never be solved by looking at statistics. There's more to it.
What do you mean by solved? Im just interested in data.
Dwight Howard having more win shares than guys like Wade, Curry, and Nash is bonkers.
