There’s so many problems with this statement that it’s hard to know where to start.

To begin with, it is 100% false. Steph blows LeBron away in 2015 in “RAPTOR non-box” in RS. Steph blows LeBron away in 2015 in “RAPTOR non-box” in the playoffs. And Steph blows LeBron away in 2015 in “RAPTOR non-box” in the combined ‘full season’ version.

True, it was 2016 and 2017 Lebron knocked Steph for the full-season.

Here, let's replace that:
https://www.cryptbeam.com/rapm/

Both have approaches which favor them that year. So unless you're willing to make an argument for one methodology being more useful for the comp than the other (which would require actually understanding the stat), your case for Steph boils down to ad-populum.


And this is a good example of why I say we should always look at all the data we have.

This is a good example of a you writing wall-of-text that fail to address what is being argued.

Emphasis, mine.
, of course, that’s ignoring the fact that you’re resorting to looking at a component of an overall metric, which is silly.

Looking at impact while assessing impact, crazy.


The entire metric is about impact.

One component is impact, the other is a human-informed proxy for it that hasn't been tested vs a bunch of differing approaches in large part because way too many people like you call yourselves "Marshalls of all the data" when you're just marshalling a narrow range of interpretations.

Of course, maybe that’s because other players you don’t mention actually stepped up and happened to play surprisingly well in the playoffs. That’s actually what the impact metrics tell us. But of course you’d prefer to handwave and give all credit to LeBron, despite box and impact data not suggesting that’s right.

And by "impact metrics" you mean a few games worth of on/off samples consisting of tiny smatterings between various games because Lebron played...nearly every minute?

Gee, I wonder what would happen if we extended that postseason sample of yours to 15-17...Surely it would not be Lebron, with or The whole point here is that the Cavs had players that played abnormally well in those playoffs.

Role players who typically do not play "unusually well", play "unusually well" with a player whose teammates consistently play "unusually well" in games he plays. Who'da thought?

We can see that this is a function of defense. And this is not surprising when we look at some defensive data we have. For instance, in those playoffs, Mozgov had 9.9 rim contests per 100 possessions, and a -16.5% FG%diff on his rim contests.

Yep. And I'm sure all-time help defender and floor-general Lebron James, weighing 242 at 6'8 as one of the strongest players in the league had nothing to do with that. Which is why he was...a defensive negative in Denver?


I hate to break this to you, but assuming the only contributions worth noting in a defensive possession are those which come from whoever is nearest to the ball and nearest to end, is not a substantive point, just like parading a 200 minute sample so you can ignore a bunch of 1000-2800 minute samples from that same season, on multiple teams, telling us Mozgov was not that team's defensive centerpiece.

“Spamming outputs” is otherwise known as marshaling the large amount of evidence that is contrary to your claim/

You can call Glorified ad-populum, a "large amount of evidence" if you want, but as long as there are correlative approaches which favor Lebron, the number of times the approaches that favor have been replicated or endorsed is not meaningful evidence for basically everyone here. Just as It would not be considered meaningful evidence in basically any lane of academia, barring the near complete and total absence of contradictory information.


And lol at you talking about academia. You’re not old enough to have had any real involvement in “any lane of academia,”

You sure? Me thinks you might be conflating age with talent. :wink:

Regardless, no. "A vast majority chose this approach" does not actually justify said approach. Especially when these "majorities" are generated by dismissing less convoluted versions of the things that produce outputs you like, making arbitrary decisions on which samples are irrelevant, and conveniently flipping between caring or not caring about the sizes of samples. Granted, that approach mighr have been convincing for participants in the 2010 iteration of the RPOY. Unfortunately, this is 2024, and this sort of lazy selective metric-stacking just doesn't cut it anymore.


I agreed with a lengthy post by Djoker, in which Djoker did not even mention any 187 minute sample but that OhayoKD believes very briefly referred back to prior discussion in which OhayoKD complained that Djoker’s arguments in small part relied on a 189 minute sample.

Yeah, I think we're done here.

The good news for you is this project stops at 2014. If it hadn't, it's hard to see Steph's lone POY win not being taken by Lebron; probably in no small part because of you.

Anyway, this is the definitive Bron year. LeUltra Instinct. Weird first 3 games of the finals aside my personal favorite year from a player and an easy #1

Reductive -> tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude -> To [/i]exclude complexity
You -> it is reductive to [i]include
the complexity of what Jordan's teammates contributed in those possessions

I am claiming it because you are. But hey, at least this time,you are not using a word to describe the polar opposite of what it means. Gotta start somewhere.

Is it also not reductive to...reduce Jordan's contributions to "touching the ball last?"

You would probably realize a simple concept if, again, you knew how to self-reflect. Instead ,you're ducking and dodging and trying to belittle my intelligence to make it seem as if I dont know what a word means so that you score imaginary brownie points for yourself in a debate about shootyhoops.

Also, real sneaky way to once again make this about Jordan. 1998 was 15 threads ago, man!

Here's a term for you - strawman. "Jordan did not single-handedly" =/ "Jordan only did".
Instead ,you're ducking and dodging

Please do specify what I "ducked and dodged". Unless we're again using words opposite to how they're typically used.

Please take discussion not specifically pertaining to 2013 to the general project thread (or elsewhere). Again, I will acknowledge I cracked open the door by initiating a comparison with ballots in other years, but this increasingly far removed tangent has consumed too much of the thread.

Anyway let's make this quick. I want to crack out 2009 Lebron's defense before work picks up.

Voting Post

1. Lebron James

After what is an all-time dominant 2012 postseason...with the big three starting, you have flashes of an all-time dominant regular-season team though that true top 10 ever sort of conversation is dashed by Wade's failing legs. He has unacknowledged weaknesses relative to earlier Lebron's largely in a service of a narrative built to discredit that earlier empirically unrivalled (barring Russell, Walton, and Jabbar) prior iteration, but it's fair to reason fit and teammate health dragged him down a bit, and credit him for being able to translate to a defensive role unusually paint-heavy for natural wings, and a different sort of offensive role.

Ultimately though what cements this year as historic is the postseason, especially the finals:
Spoiler:
No-more-rings wrote:I think a lot of what you say is about right, I disagree a little on some things but sure it was still a great playoff run just not a goat level one like some of his others. It’s still hard for me to look past how much trouble he had scoring against 21 year old Kawhi and the Spurs wall they put up. The Spurs were also great, but not an historical juggernaut. Yeah he got hot and figured them out in game 7 but we were awfully close to them not even making it to a game 7. The context and all that matters, but it’s just hard to look past how much he was struggling through 6 games, and some of the games he was looking like 2011 Lebron. It’s hard to imagine that happening to a slew of other Lebron years.

They kinda were though

With this many missed games and so few minutes played, to post a +6.7 SRS, top 7 offense, top 3 defense is pretty wild. This was always a +8 SRS, 65 win type team masquerading as a 58 win, +6.7 SRS team.


...but they were an all-time buzzsaw when it was time to win:
Round 1: Los Angeles Lakers (+1.5), won 4-0, by +18.7 points per game (+20.2 SRS eq)
Round 2: Golden State Warriors (+4.1), won 4-2, by +3.8 points per game (+7.9 SRS eq)

Round 4: Miami Heat (+9.2), lost 3-4, by +0.7 points per game (+9.9 SRS eq)

(Note how 2013 Miami/Lebron tanks their SRS?)

We can extend our sample with 2014:
Playoff Offensive Rating: +7.67 (22nd), Playoff Defensive Rating: -6.82 (31st)
Playoff SRS: +14.53 (9th), Total SRS Increase through Playoffs: +4.32 (17th)

Round 2: Portland Trail Blazers (+4.6), won 4-1, by +13.4 points per game (+18.0 SRS eq)
Round 3: Oklahoma City Thunder (+7.5), won 4-2, by +10.5 pints per game (+18.0 SRS eq)

Round 4: Los Angeles Lakers (+9.8), won 4-0, by +6.7 points per game (+16.5 SRS eq)

(1989)

Now, tbf, both the Pistons and Spurs see their srs boosted by injury(Magic misses most of the 89 finals, ibaka misses 14 wcf), nonetheless, the Spurs were by any reasonable standard, a juggernaut when Miami played them. In terms of playoff performance, they were probably on the same level as the 16 Warriors(if you want a number, the Warriors were +9.9 vs an OKC team whose record undersold them due KD missing time).

21 year old Kawhi and "the spurs wall" added up to a -7.25 playoff defense. Moreover wade had broken down with injuries(was getting his knees filled during the previous playoffs) turning what was supposed to be a superteam into a side that was averagish without Lebron:
[quote]From 12-14 Miami posted a net-rating of -3.5 in games without Lebron(7.5 with). In the title-winning years Miami were a +8.4 team with Lebron and a -2.5 team without. That actually looks like a 30ish win team rather than a 40ish won but presumably missed time and opponent quality shift the lebron-less heat towards neutrality with SRS.

Switching from WOWY, to lineup-ratings, the Heat were +11.04 with Lebron/Wade lineups, +2.7 with with Wade, no Lebron lineups, 10.87 with Lebron/Bosh lineups, -1.19 with Bosh, no Lebron lineups, +10.28 with the big-three, and -4.48 with the big-three minus Lebron. The heat were also +2.77 in lineups with Lebron and without Wade or bosh. Overall, Lebron lineups scored at +9.62 while Lebron-less lineups scored at +0.75


The 13/14 Spurs were the new and improved 89/90 Pistons. Wade was a shell of himself. And Lebron's jumper was off. You're supposed to lose that. Miami won. Primarily because Lebron is far more than his points+true-shooting, to an extent no other perimiter player has ever really come close to. And also because with the chips down Lebron was phenomenal. The 2013 Heat posted the 2nd highest 4th quarter net-rating ever post 97. 2nd to the 2009 Cleveland Cavaliers, and a few spots above the 2008 and 2010 Cleveland Cavaliers. Ray Allen hit "the shot". but "the shot" only mattered because that 4th quarter/overtime had Lebron creating or scoring nearly all of Miami's offense, shutting down guards and forwards alike as their primary perimiter deterrent, ontop of a bunch of possessions operating like his team's primary big or secondary big defensively.

Then he was dominant again in game 7. And, facing all-time competition, far from their best and whole selves, Miami prevailed. During the playoffs as a whole, with their 2nd best-player falling apart, Miami maintained:

Average Playoff Opponent Offense: -0.68 (99th), Average Playoff Opponent Defense: -3.87 (10th)

A raw PSRS spike, counterbalanced by a 4-spot drop in rank. Considering the circumstances, that's rather impressive. Defeating the Spurs in the finals; that's just straight impressive.

There was already a gap between Lebron and the rest in the regular-season, but it grew during the playoffs, before a chasm over the course of the finals.

Simply put, this should be unanimous.

2. Kevin Durant/b]
3. [b]Chris Paul


Durant started a bit of a habit for himself these playoffs: Folding under an inch of adversity. The +9 SRS Thunder entered the playoffs and through 2 games with Westbrook played better than +9 SRS basketball and went 2-0 up. It was good they did that because over the next 4 games they played the +4 SRS Rockets close to a dead-heat and prevailed going 2-2. Then facing Memphis, Durant's pristine efficiency was nowhere to be found as the +9 SRS thunder played negative srs basketball to lose in 5 to a team that would proceed to get annihilated by a losing finalist.

Facing the same opponent, Chris Paul shot much better and his team stole an extra game. He shot much better, as he did for the playoffs, and he has a decent enough impact argument making the Clippers go from 6-6 to 50-20 (41 to 59-win pace) and generally placing significantly higher in RAPM. Still, going to go with Durant considering

-> Chris paul averages 4 less RS minutes and 7 less playoff minutes
-> Chris Paul's assists drop
-> Despite the additional win(and a co-star available in some capacity all 6 games) CP3's team performs about the same using M.O.V
-> A modest arrival signal that's probably inflated by teammate improvement (5-points, 17-wins) followed up with a year of team-wide regression

4. Tim Duncan

Best player on the team I just hyped up though it's an ensemble effort as reflected in Duncan not being the Spurs minutes lead for the RS or playoffs.

5. Steph Curry

Strong on-ball playmaker and a solid scorer who goes off in the playoffs. The Warriors upset a 57-win Nuggets team (led by future teammate Iggy) with Steph playing excellent. The Warriors then push San Antonio to 6 in a competitive series (4-point M.O.V). Steph shoots very badly and I'd say for most of the year this Warrior team borders on ensemble-ish...but I have Steph as the best player and he was by far the best for a signature upset and a contributor for a team that provided a genuine challenge to a legitimate juggernaut.

Getting in under the wire...

1. LeBron James

Obviously - argued by some as his peak season, won his second consecutive title/Finals MVP.

2. Kevin Durant

High volume, high efficiency scorer throughout the season.

3. Chris Paul

Big box and impact numbers in both RS, big box numbers but poor impact numbers in the PO. You wish the he and the team had performed better in the playoffs, and that gave me some pause, but his RS is strong enough to warrant #3.

4. Marc Gasol

Gasol and Conley both put up great numbers, but I'm giving Gasol the nod for anchoring the defense.

5. Steph Curry

Not solely, but largely on the back of his playoff performance, upsetting the Nuggets and taking two games off the Spurs. Really the season where Steph becomes Steph, imo.

HMs:

6. Mike Conley

Formed a formidable one-two punch with Gasol. Was +16.1 with 3.22 RAPM in the RS(highest RS RAPM of anyone considered other than LeBron).

7. Kawhi Leonard
8. Tim Duncan
9. Tony Parker


Everyone keeps saying how this Spurs team was an ensemble cast, yet then keeps giving all the credit to Duncan with Top 5 votes. Parker's impact numbers surpass Duncan's in the RS, and Kawhi's blow Duncan's out of the water in the playoffs. Great, great team, but it was an ensemble effort, and I disagree all the Top 5 votes for Duncan.

10. Paul George

Strong impact numbers in both RS and PO, probably the best player on a team that got one game away from beating the Heat and getting to the Finals.

11. James Harden

Monster box numbers in the RS.

12. Carmelo Anthony

This was the Knicks' best season with Melo; They were 47-20 with him and 7-8 without him, and he led the league in scoring.

13. Kobe Bryant

HIs last relevant year. But less impressed with his season than others.

OPOY
1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. CP3


DPOY
1. Gasol
- Anchored the #2 defense in the league.
2. Duncan - Spurs were the #3 defense; almost put Kawhi here because he had higher DRAPM in the PO, but Duncan's was a bit higher in RS, so he gets it.
3. George - 1.47 DRAPM in RS, 1.31 DRAPM in PO, elite defensive wing on the league's #1 defense.

1. Lebron- my peak year for bron and one of he greatest seasons ever, no contest.
2. KD- continues to be the 2nd best player in the game with an excellent regular season campaign where he improved his non-scoring attributes. Had a middling series losing to the Grizz, but I don’t really see a variable alternative to him.
3. CP3- excellent regular season campaign and a great effort vs the Grizzlies albeit he did lose in the first round which is underwhelming. With the criteria of the POY project good argument to be made that Duncan should be 3rd but I do think at this point CP3 was quite a bit better as a player, so idk.
4. Duncan- crazy that he’s still this relevant but he is the centerpiece of an excellent Spurs run. Could prob argue TP over him but both for on court and off court reasons I think he makes the most sense.
5. Gasol- not a particularly convincing choice but I do think given the Grizzlies success rewarding the best player on the Grizzlies makes the most sense and as such giving Gasol the nod here. Kobe is tempting even with the missed playoffs but I can’t overlook that with viable alternatives.

Great season for LeBron. Almost certainly the league's best player. I think his defense was not very dominant. It was very good, but how close he came to DPOY is a bit absurd.

There were some really good big man defensive seasons that year. That he had to actually deal with directly in the playoffs no less. Larry Sanders, Tim Duncan, Joakim Noah. His offense held up pretty damn good considering.

Chris Paul is a clear #2.

Westbrook and KD were playoff equals. Which was a constant trend in that era between them as teammates.
Swinging for the fences.

LEBRON JAMES 2013 Final Game 7 against the SPURS OFFENSE only



EDITED - SORRY GUYS, I edit my post bcs I made some mistake on DTOs/EDTOs ( I was counting if it happen in possession instead of how many defender was affected per possesion ) part due some misunderstanding on my part but I retrack everythings and added ADAs ( Additional defender affected ).
Playmaking
-DTOs ( Defender take out )
-EDTOs ( Extra defender taken out )
- ADAs ( addictional defender affected )
-Double
-Triple
-Création ~ R’Creation ( Rim )/ P’Creation ( Prerimeter )
-SC ( Screen assist ) ( GHOST SCREEN DO NOT COUNT )
- EPDL( Elite pass delivery ) for creation or when the defense is attach on his presence
- RPDL ( Regular pass delivery ) for creation or when the defense is attach on his presence
- BRDL ( Bad pass delivery ) for creation or when the defense is attach on his presence
Scoring
-FGA
-FGM
-M ( midrange )
-P ( Post play )
-R ( Rim : lay up / dunk )
-T ( 3pt )
-PB ( Putback )
-FTA + FTM
-OCT ( Offensive Contest )
-OUCT ( Offensive Uncontested )
- FD ( Foul draw by defender )
( P - Possession. If your team get the Oreb or foul and your team get control of the ball it will be counted as same possession )

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z6j-mQ44u6XqNRSypiJj6wevc2de8Mz8WuKjZzykhl4/edit?usp=drivesdk

Final tally -
15x creation
18 DTOs
7 EDTOs
11x doubled


9 PPD
1 EPPD
6 IPPD

7 PP
2 EPP
5 IPP


(Game 5)


Going to convert this to per-possession so it can be used comparatively

As we don't have the # of possessions I'm going to multiply MJ minutes played/48 and multiply that by the pace (84) for an estimate which gets us about 63.

This means per-possession Jordan had around .28 DTOS and .11 EDTOS.

Defensively this would give Jordan, per-possession, around 0.143 PPDs, 0.01 EPPDs, 0.02 IPPDs, .11 PPs, 0.03 EPPs and .08 IPPs.

[/spoiler]

(Game 5)
Spoiler:
Playmaking
[spoiler]
.44 edtos per possession

Defense (one of Jordan's "A" games per Djoker)
This means per Possession, MJ averaged, 0.00 PPs, 0.00 EPPs, 0.00 IPPs, 0.475 PPDs, 0.125 EPPDs, 0.125 IPPDs, and 0.05 IAs.



Here is how other Lebron games graded in terms of playmaking (I'll do the 2012 set next)

2007 finals Game 1:
(4 assists)

During the first 40 possessions of game 1 of this finals, Lebron averaged, per possession:
.425 EDTOs

2007 finals Game 4, Lebron:
(10 assists)

Here is how other Lebron games looked defensively

Spoiler:
(2016 Finals, Game 7)
This means per Possession, Lebron averaged, 0.3 PPs, 0.1 EPPs, 0.00 IPPs, 0.2 PPDs, 0.05 EPPDs, 0.075 IPPDs, and 0.075 IAs.

(2009 ECF, Game 1)
During Lebron’s first 40 possessions of the 2009 ECF, I gave him, 10 possessions as a primary or co-primary rim-protector of which he was deemed effective in 2 and ineffective in 1. Lebron also was given 18 possessions as a primary or co–primary perimeter defender, of which he was deemed effective in 6 and ineffective in 3. Additionally, Lebron was given 2 Irrational Avoidances. This means per Possession, Lebron averaged, 0.25 PPs, 0.05 EPPs, 0.025 IPPs, 0.45 PPDs, 0.15 EPPDs, 0.075 IPPDs, and 0.05 IAs.


During his first 40 possessions of the 2007 Finals, I gave Lebron 5 possessions as a primary or co-primary rim-protector of which he was deemed effective in 3 and ineffective in 1. Lebron also was given 16 possessions as a primary or co–primary perimeter defender, of which he was deemed effective in 9 and ineffective in 3. Additionally Lebron was given 9 Irrational Avoidances. This means per Possession, Lebron averaged, 0.125 PPs, 0.075 EPPs, 0.025 IPPs, 0.4 PPDs, 0.225 EPPDs, 0.075 IPPDs, and 0.225 IAs


Seemingly maintains his massive advantage over the other two in terms of playmaking but the defensive separation is significantly diminished. There's multiple games of kareem tracking to incorporate later but I'm calling it a day.

Re: Retro Player of the Year 2012-13 — Lebron James 

Post#59 » by homecourtloss » Thu Jul 3, 2025 7:22 am

With some discussion about relative ORtgs in another thread(s), I wanted to point how remarkable James was as an offensive engine with Wade off the court. In the 2012 post season, a healthy Wade synergized well with James as he did in the regular season, but the late season injury made Wade dead weight for the Heat offense in the 2013 playoffs.

Heat’s 2013 playoffs’ on court relative ORtg (rORtg) with LeBron on court

2013 vs. Bucks: +10.9 (+12.6 without Wade)
2013 vs. Bulls: +8.1 (+16.0 without Wade)
2013 vs. Pacers: +11.6 (+22.2 without Wade)
2013 vs. Spurs: +6.4 (+31.0 without Wade)

Entire 2013 run without Wade: +23.9 rORtg

If you look at 2013 + 2014, it was +19.1 rORtg without Wade.
