1989 article on MJ reads like an ISH post

Wow, seems they had recruited young Lazeruss.

Early advanced stats:

Let's use a simplified version of an old Red Auerbach system to give Jordan a total grade. Add up Jordan's points, rebounds, and assists, then subtract all his missed shots and free throws. On our Red meter Jordan has averaged a superb rating of 37.6 per game.

But in 1963...the Big O had a rating of 40.3...

THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

I tried to factor this with Lebron's Career Stats and 2009 season and the math is nowhere similar to Jordan or Big O's rating.


Lebron James (Career)
24113 + 6287 + 6055 - 8777 - 1903 = 25775

Lebron James (2008-9)
2304 + 587 + 613 - 824 - 168 = 2512

Use per game averages not totals.

Forgot to call Jordan a beta.

Use per game averages not totals.

That's misleading for players that played minimum games in a season.
