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.

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
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.
