How about quality of teams faced in the playoffs, overall?
This thread was inspired by 70's Fan and his thread, here:

I wanted to find out which ATG Players faced the best teams in the Playoffs, so I looked at the Net Rating of opposing teams (for every series) for each player, and ran the numbers using this criteria, which 70s Fan used, but for
overall opponent production, (not just defense, this time):
Lower -2.0 Net Rating:
Bad TeamFrom -2.0 to +1.9 Net Rating:
Average TeamFrom +2.0 to +3.9 Net Rating:
Good TeamFrom +4.0 to +6.0 Net Rating:
Elite TeamAbove +7.0 Net Rating:
