Regular Season
89' and 90' KJ (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/johnske02.html#1989-1990-sum:advanced).......... 21.5 PER... 0.191 WS/48... 4.6 OBPM... 0.0 DBPM... 59.1 TS (53.7 league avg (https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html))
24' and 25' ANT (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/edwaran01.html#2024-2025-sum:advanced)........ 19.9 PER... 0.135 WS/48... 3.6 OBPM... 0.2 DBPM... 58.5 TS (57.8 league avg (https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html))
Playoffs
89' and 90' KJ (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/johnske02.html#1989-1990-sum:advanced_post).......... 21.4 PER... 0.169 WS/48... 5.2 OBPM... 0.6 DBPM... 58.2 TS (54.1 league avg (https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html))
24' and 25' ANT (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/edwaran01.html#2024-2025-sum:advanced_post)........ 21.3 PER... 0.163 WS/48... 4.7 OBPM... 1.7 DBPM... 58.1 TS (56.6 league avg (https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html))
CONCLUSION:
KJ was better than the best American player today (Ant), so American basketball has cratered from MJ to KJ... This confirms that today's NBA players are worse than prior eras, since the cratering of the best source of players (America) more than offsets the rise in international players...
