Retro Player of the Year 1990-91 UPDATE — Michael Jordan

[OhayoKD]

And on another note, I'd like to know how he defines a primary paint protector to begin with.

Presumably factors similar to what I use (this list is a more fleshed out version of what I mentioned when top10 asked what I looked at):
-> Time spent in the paint, relative to teammates
-> Time spent near the basket, relative to teammates
-> Distance near basket and the paint relative to teammates
-> Role in securing or trying to secure your team rebounds
-> Actions that occur when you're the last man between the ball-handler and the basket
-> Time spent as the last man between the ball-handler and the basket (especially prevalent with post-ups)
-> Deterred or potentially deterred drives
-> Deterred or potentially deterred interior passes
-> How you affect the movements of bigs (ex: vacating the paint when you arrive?)
-> Time left on an island inside the paint or near the basket
-> Strong-side or weakside contests/challenges (for usage specifically whether the person is placed in to attempt a challenge. Failing to offer anything
when you are positioned where you need to offer something gets you an ineffective)
-> Pulling away potential offensive rebounders (I've noticed this once but it seemed worth inputting)

For leeway people can also be afforded "co-primary" if the watcher doesn't feel there's a clear difference or multiple players are used more than you'd expect of a typical possession for a primary paint-protector.

For the most part, only 1 or two if any of the things listed above happen in a possession so it's usually pretty simple to tell if someone is worthy of a PP. If multiple players face a bunch of the stuff above (this almost never happens) I give them both one.

I prefer tracking hard objective data which while it may not be super granular, is both reproducible and easy to interpret.

1. Nothing in that list of yours was objective.
2. You proceed to immediately contradict yourself:

What you also don't seem to realize is that defense is team based, both personnel and tactics-wise. What is deemed an effective or ineffective play is thus highly subjective and depends on which lens you're looking at it i.e. from a vantage point of an average team vs. the particular team a player is playing on. There is also a range of effectiveness. Plays can be extremely effective, very effective, somewhat effective etc.

You value reproducibility and "hardness" yet criticize the method for not including a bunch of additional inputs which would inevitably make it harder to reproduce?

..

Your post is missing the point.

No, you just conveniently omitted the rebuttal:

Here's a better test: what if two completely different people who are ideologically opposed on the player in question look at the same set of possessions?

(1993, game 3, rated "a" by Djoker)

Redmoon:

FWIW, here is an adjusted tally for Jordan if I count everything you highlighted as something that you think should have been credited (1 PP, 1 EPPD, 1 EPP) but wasn't.

Taking all these at face value Jordan goes from 2 to 3 EPPD boosting his per-possession average from .5 EPPD, to .75, goes from 5 PP to 6 giving boosting his PP-per-possession rate from .125 to .15., and goes from 0 EPP, to 1 EPP giving him a per-possession rate of 0.025

Ohayo:

During Jordan’s first 40 possessions, I gave him, 5 possessions as a primary or co-primary rim-protector of which he was deemed effective in 0 and ineffective in 1. Jordan also was given 11 possessions as a primary or co–primary perimeter defender, of which he was deemed effective in 2 and ineffective in 1. Additionally, MJ was given 3 Irrational Avoidances. This means per Possession, MJ averaged, 0.125 PPs, 0.00 EPPs, 0.025 IPPs, 0.275 PPDs, 0.05 EPPDs, 0.025 IPPDs, and 0.05 IAs.

Seems like it's more reproducible than you think.

Even with Redmoon deciding a weakside block all by itself was enough to mark Jordan as the primary despite Horace Grant spending the bulk of the possession inside and being the only man between the blocked attacker and the basket...

The difference was negligible. And now we have someone who recently thought Jordan was the #1 all-time peak reaching similar results. These excuses just aren't going to cut it anymore. Claims like the following just aren't tenable:

I voted Jordan over Oakley because he played 6 mpg more and Jordan is one of those exceptions who actually offered plenty of rim protection despite being a guard. 1.6 bpg is pretty indicative of that and he finished #14 in blocks that year but also from watching film of that season.

You've spent years hiding behind block averages to peddle the concept that guards are indistinguishable from wings. That's done. No error bar is saving you.

Top10alltime makes a distinction between primary paint protection and paint protection in general. Thus it seems he's not giving Jordan credit for providing paint protection (like the block I mentioned) on possessions where he isn't the primary paint protector.

[/quote]
Top10alltime has given no one credit for paint-protection on possession where they aren't deemed the primary paint protector. And by now you should know that would benefit the Lebron's and the Pippen's and the Horace Grant's significantly more than it would benefit Michael Jordan.

I really don't know what we're trying to do here.

Better question: what are you trying to do here? You apparently have a problem with people posting film-tracking of a game and then address it by...ignoring what they tracked and throwing a bunch of box-stats the tracking was conducted in part to cover things those stats don't? Is this supposed to be a non-sequitur?

This is a game where he scored 33 points on 18 shots - 83.3% FG, 83.5% TS; where he dished 13 assists and had only 4 turnovers(a greater than 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio)

MJ averaging 13 assists while creating vastly less than games where the tracked player averaged 4 is not the defense you think it is:

This means per-possession Jordan had around .11 EDTOS.

During the first 40 possessions of game 1 of the 2007 finals, Lebron averaged, per possession:
.425 EDTOs

Like what else do you want him to do?

and where he grabbed 7 boards in addition to all of that

And now we're praising Jordan for waiting under the basket and catching freebies after his bigger teammates do the actual work of boxing out and fighting off potential rebounders?

And we're sitting here picking it apart trying to diminish it by any means possible.

You say of the poster who said he was great on offense and had MJ as the best offensive player ever one month ago? And by "any means possible" we mean using film instead of basketball reference.

Like, what else do you want him to do?

What else do we want of 91 Jordan, the #1 voted season of every existing iteration of the peaks project? Idk, probably not being a comically sub-22 year old Lebron playmaker and defender.

Speaking for myself of course because your indignation was in response to a post which doesn't make any comment other than "it was not as good as I thought" from a poster who had 91 MJ as the #1 peak of all-time recently and has no discernable bias towards or against Michael Jordan.

I don't have a problem with film tracking - watching film is good. I am quite skeptical, however, of the stats you guys keep track of. These are stats I've never seen used anywhere outside of this PC board(if I'm wrong, by all means, show me somewhere else), and they seem highly susceptible to subjectivity. And this isn't just about Jordan. If you recall, during that 1986 Bird/Hakeem debate, these tracking stats were used in defense of Hakeem(his creation, specifically) and I was very skeptical there too. I have said this before - I appreciate the time you guys put into this stuff, but i take the resulting numbers with a big grain of salt.

For the record, I never said anything about LeBron in my post, you're the one bringing him up.

(As for Toptenalltime voting Jordan #1 in the peaks project, I didn't participate in that project, so I genuinely didn't know that).

Oh, I was just going by what Ohayo said. Confused now.

[OhayoKD]

I don't have a problem with film tracking - watching film is good. I am quite skeptical, however, of the stats you guys keep track of.

You can be skeptical but "what are we trying to do here" should be easy enough to derive by reading the posts. Top10alltime wants to get a better idea of Jordan and is using a system which bakes in more basketball actions and possessions when looking at playmaking and defense than the common box-score. They also used it for Wilt, Kobe, and Kareem.

If you feel assists, steals, rebounds, and blocks are superior whatever, but it shouldn't be hard to see why people would prefer a more inclusive system.

These are stats I've never seen used anywhere outside of this PC board(if I'm wrong, by all means, show me somewhere else), and they seem highly susceptible to subjectivity.

That's because they were invented by PC-Boaders less than a year ago to test and figure out things that can't be answered by existing stats.

For the record, I never said anything about LeBron in my post, you're the one bringing him up.

Indeed, because he is one of two players that has been tracked using the same playmaking system which leads to extremely different conclusions about this game than the stat you listed. If you prefer assists that's fine, but from top10's eyes (as well as mine and lebronny) that assist tally doesn't really matter if he's not taking out extra defenders at a high clip. So "what more do you want him to do" doesn't make much sense regarding a game where the until recently near uncontested #1 peak is performing way below that bar by the lense of basketball-watching the poster in questoin prefers.

(As for Toptenalltime voting Jordan #1 in the peaks project, I didn't participate in that project, so I genuinely didn't know that).

That's something they said outside of realgm tbf. They did post their offensive-goat list with jordan at the top 1 month ago. Seemingly watching Jordan play more has lowered their opinion of him.

Ok, "what are we trying to do here" was maybe too dismissive. I apologize for that.

FYI, it's not like I go by counting stats only. I look at RAPM, on/off, WOWY, impact signals, etc, all the time.

I just don't yet trust these tracking stats because, as I said, they feel arbitrarily defined and vulnerable to subjectivity.

Yeah film studies can have a lot of value. For example PFF grades in the NFL are absolutely invaluable for understanding player value in the league. Here are the keys to any metric (whether that be box score composites, impact stats, or film studies)
-They are done in a structured manner
-They be done in a consistent manner
-Its done by someone who really knows what they are doing
-They are tethered to current and future outcomes

I'm worried that some of the tracking studies being shared on RealGM don't meet one or many of these criteria.

[sp6r=underrated]

I'm re-reading the retro projects.

Positives
1. The discussions here are the best basketball discussions you get on the internet anywhere.
2. The time commitment posters take in evaluating players is impressive.
3. The in-depth analysis you'll get of playoff series is valuable.
4. The skill-set component is there.

Negatives
1. Proxy battles.

There's the old saw "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." Sometimes threads conversations devolved into proxy battles in which the RPOY question is really a battle of "Box score stats vs Plus-Minus stats," "evolution of the game," "LBJ vs MJ," etc. This has gotten better over time.

There were way more proxy battles in the projects I used to participate in when I had the time (I was a guilty party at times).

2. Jerk Posters.

This has gotten way better over time. The number of pure jerks, maybe I was one, have gone down. The jerky posters are less jerky even when they're being jerks.

3. Holier-than-thou

This is the one are that has gotten worse with time.

Yeah film studies can have a lot of value. For example PFF grades in the NFL are absolutely invaluable for understanding player value in the league. Here are the keys to any metric (whether that be box score composites, impact stats, or film studies)

I like this comment. My take is the video/film analysis you see in these threads have value and should be included in analysis. But Puppy's point above is important. Some of us here have some real biases. Most are novices. All are working off a small sample size of games. Given that there should be a real humility into how heavily we way game analysis especially if we reach findings that go wildly against what people thought at the time.

There are broadly speaking 2 family trees of stats:
1. Plus-Minus Stats
2. Counting Stats

Video analysis isn't a unique third thing. If you value video analysis and try to summarize video findings in an organized manner you can't dismiss others as box score watchers. You both value counting stats your argument is simply which counting stats matter and how heavily they should be weighed.

FWIW, NBA teams factor both plus/minus and counting stats in all areas: draft, free agency, game planning, roster management. Until that changes it would be wise to consider both plus/minus and counting stats in individual player analysis. These teams are billion dollar companies it is highly unlikely they are all fools.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

[Top10alltime]

In this game, we see how good Jordan is on both ends of the floor, as this is his peak season.

This is also for something newer, tracking how Jordan did in isolation as scorer on-ball. Also how much they initiated the play (by bringing ball up, to start it off, or outlet pass, stealing ball to initiate transition play, etc), also how they did in tough coverage (doubled or tripled).
Reason for doing this is due to elpolo_14 mentioning how Jordan had these advantages here (Will track Steph later to compare): viewtopic.php?p=118963162#p118963162

Jordan was very strong on defense through the East playoffs then struggled defending Magic in the Finals, most of it in Game 1 and Game 4 being overzealous fouling. One thing that's difficult to quantify is shot deterrence. While Magic was super effective when he went at Jordan, he did so at very low volume. By my crude estimation of defensive possessions, Magic only put up ~12 pts/75 possessions when defended by MJ compared to ~22 pts/75 possessions when defended by other Bulls. This was discussed at length earlier in the thread too.

All in all looking at MJ's defense, he not only played good man defense but caused a ton of damage off-ball. He helped effectively in many instances although that is something that is subjective so I didn't explicitly track it. He caused a ton of steals and deflections playing the passing lanes too. He even provided a lot of secondary paint protection rotating over to the rim to block shots. 29 blocks in 17 games is a super nice tally for a SG.
