Very nice, thanks as always.

Just wondering, from the sample you used, how different were Bucks and Lakers Kareem?
Now that's the difference between first and last place.

With the Lakers he seemed to have a stronger base and was more on "cruise control", in terms of the game coming so easy to him at that point. With the Bucks he was quicker off the dribble and didn't rely on the hook shot as much as his later years, like 1980. Game 5 of the Finals that year is one of the all time underrated performances.

Do you think Bucks Kareem (71-74) was a better player than Lakers Kareem (75-80)?

Defensively his Bucks years looked better, and offensively I take the 1977 or 1980 version. This may be an incomplete answer since much of the Bucks footage is incomplete. I believe 1974 is up there as well for an overall peak season, but it is impossible to say with so little game footage.
