Thoughts?

I think it's interesting considering he never made it to round2 and only played 38 playoff games total in his prime.

Also, really cool for bbref to add this after all these years.

BPM is a rate stat, so he's not hurt by the relatively small number of games. He was really good at his peak (when essentially all his playoff minutes took place).

7th highest now.

Aided by higher usage than anyone ahead of him except Jordan. A full 1/3rd higher than Kawhi.

BPM รท usage is worth knowing for this topic.

He played like 30 playoff games in his career which is an insanely small sample size im surprised he even qualifies for the leaderboard. Curious how many players are like this where they are on the leaderboard despite very low samples
