Re: How would you measure league quality statistically?

You could probably develop an aging curve. There was some discussion on this regarding J.E.'s aging curve - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8308. There have also been a ton of aging curve related stuff done in baseball.

Re: Lakers 3pt Strategy

The Grizzlies were a slow team in which three of their four best players are simply incapable of shooting 3's (and the pace might skew their rankings slightly in terms of 3pa/game). They were able to overcome that because those best players are very good defensive players, and they scored a lot of p...

Re: 14 Year Average RAPM Dataset

I'd asked Jerry about this on Twitter a month ago, and hopefully I didn't misunderstand him: The 14y set is RAPM while the single year numbers are xRAPM.

Re: Is there diminishing returns to RAPM?

Not directly related to your question: I've seen a few people make various rough projections based on minutes estimates and RPM/RAPM, and I realize Silver mentions the potential impact of injuries briefly, but when making these estimates, people should probably use "total minutes divided by 82&...

Re: mid-range vs. 3s vs. close shots debate by shot defense

Very interesting stuff.
