Best players from 1991-2014 by xRAPM

Post by colts18 »

I decided to compile the xRAPM stats from J.E.'s site and combine each year to get a career xRAPM rating for every player that played from 1991 to 2014.

Best xRAPM per 100 possessions

Code: Select all

Rank	Player	Off/100	Def/100	Ovr/100
1	David Robinson	2.12	5.67	7.79
2	LeBron James	6.58	1.06	7.65
3	Tim Duncan	2.45	4.94	7.39
4	Shaquille O'Neal	3.86	3.18	7.03
5	Chris Paul	6.09	0.47	6.55

Notes:
-David Robinson kills it in this stat. He led the league for about 8 years in a row.
-xRAPM hates Michael Jordan for some reason. Its probably the boxscore portion that hates him the most
-Ben Wallace is the best defender by this stat. He had 1 year where he almost pulled off a +10 xRAPM from defense alone :shock: He has the top 6 xRAPM defensive values
-2000's stars outperform the 90's stars in the stat
-Juwan Howard is the worst player in the sample by RAPM points above average. Most likely a function of him playing nearly 70,000 possessions in his career.

Not sure why this post didn't get thanked but thanks.

8 of 10 6-9 or above. 6-7 could be called inside players.
