Re: Player Comparisons by PIPM
No responses yet? All the squiggly lines must be giving the others a hard time.
As expected it shows Curry as having a tremendously high peak that makes comparisons to Michael Jordan plausible as much as that may shock some people.
I'd ask how PIPM was computed for earlier players like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. As I understand it raw plus minus upon which many plus minus indicators are based only go back to the 1997 season.

Re: Player Comparisons by PIPM
really impressed you graphed this but since you're doing year by year a line graph seems better. only thing that's obviously stands out is the general public still underrates curry. Also ik he isnt a big factor in all time lists but I like to see durant. Obviously more relevant than vince

The data goes back to 83-84. So it misses the best years of older players (and some not even included) and you're right about Curry. His 2016 season was immense
You can also see the effect Jordan's retirement had. That little 1/3 of a season he played was pretty bad compared to what came before and after it.

True, Durant would be much better for a comparison. Just figured I'd plug in the VC/Kobe comparison since it was relevant with a thread. Anyway I haven't seen you around recently homie. Good to have you back (Or maybe I just haven't been reading threads you're in)

giannis looking very good. lower but similar career progression to lebron. curry definitely looks like 2nd most impactful of era. Nice to see pipm matches my opinion that the cp3 clipper years were underrated. durant's impact is a bit overrated by the public according to pipm at least.

Re: Player Comparisons by PIPM
This is a bit off-topic and while Gamescore isnt regarded very well as far as advanced metrics (It's literally a dumbed down version of PER, according to the creator of both stats. It also doesn't account for possessions or minutes), since people here love it here are LeBron/Jordans gamescores ranked per season up to 2016. I want to add this is not my work, btw, but some folks may find it interesting
Top Regular Seasons by Game Score
1988 Jordan 28.8
1989 Jordan 28.6
1990 Jordan 27.6
1987 Jordan 27.4
1991 Jordan 26.2
2010 LeBron 25.6
1993 Jordan 25.5
1992 Jordan 24.4
2013 LeBron 24.4
2009 LeBron 24.3
Top Postseasons by Game Score
1986 Jordan 30.6
2009 LeBron 29.9
1990 Jordan 29.0
1989 Jordan 27.8
1991 Jordan 27.4
1988 Jordan 27.2
1987 Jordan 26.9
1993 Jordan 26.2
2010 LeBron 25.4
1992 Jordan 25.1

playoffs are sometimes too small a sample size for pipm to be very useful

Re: Player Comparisons by PIPM
PIPM is largely considered one of the better ones out there
By who?
Largely?
Where's the stats supporting that claim?

By the people who actually participate in crafting these metrics and make up the data analysis side of basketball. Some of whom go on to work for NBA teams (ie Jeremias Engelmann who created RPM now works for the Mavs) or other places. Most you can deduce on your own if you know how they're obtained but if you want someone else explaining it for you, this does it pretty good. It's a post by Elgee (Or Ben Taylor, the Backpicks guy)
https://fansided.com/2019/01/08/nylo...advanced-stat/
Here's another one by Elgee going over the different stats to give you an idea of what they're about
https://elgee35.wordpress.com/2011/0...in-basketball/
Things like PER/GameScore/WS etc are mostly the same but outside of showing "box-score" value they don't tell you much else. Here's a good write up about those in particular and how they're basically the same (The first couple paragraphs):
https://dberri.wordpress.com/2009/07...ed-in-2008-09/
Lastly. Here's the creator of BPM himself on the recent change they made to the formula on Basketball Reference this season (Which made BPM much better, btw)
https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/bpm2.html
Here's the creator of PIPM:
https://www.bball-index.com/player-impact-plus-minus/
Hope that helps. Should be able to draw your own conclusions from the information provided and it's pretty clear why some measures (RAPM, PIPM, RPM, APM etc) are far better than others (PER, GameScore, WS etc)

Verticle?
Re: Player Comparisons by PIPM
Interesting stuff.
As a fan, I always said that year Curry went off was one of the most dominant seasons I've seen from a player. I don't think I've seen anyone as dominant outside of prime Shaq, and all the advanced metrics back that by the looks of things.
On top of that, I've always held the opinion LeBron at his best, was the best player to ever step on the court. Not only that, it seems as if he has found another type of role on the court where he can be as effective in his later years.
