Nigel Hayes-Davis (353.5) 370. Bub Carrington (358.3) A number of catch-all metrics from the around the internet endeavor to tell us who's playing best every year. And though many of the different adjusted plus-minuses attempt to measure the same thing (an individual player’s impact on the game when he’s on the floor), they have slightly different ways of getting there. If you want to acknowledge the most accessible ones, you could say something like… “Giannis Antetokounmpo is 3rd in Basketball Reference’s box plus/minus and 5th in wins over replacement player; 3rd in Dunks and Threes’ estimated plus-minus and 3rd in estimated wins; 13th in Basketball Index's LEBRON and 32nd in LEBRON WAR; 9th in ESPN's Net Points per 100 possessions and 13th in Net Points WAR; and 2nd in Basketball Reference’s game score per 100 possessions and 6th in total game score..." …but that’s quite a mouthful. For the last several seasons, I’ve been sharing something of a shorthand for the above. Instead of rattling off that list for any and all players one might want to discuss, I sort every qualified player by the average of their ranks in those stats (as well as their cumulative variants). The results give credit to each of the metrics, throw a bone to basic numbers (through the use of game score) and reward players for availability (through the addition of the cumulative marks). The lists produced by this exercise aren’t perfect, but none are. Strictly subjective rankings obviously have their own flaws. This is at least a guide. And it can give you a pretty good idea of who’s been the best (or worst) in 2025-26. If you’re looking for a specific player (like, oh say, Paolo Banchero), do the handy little “control (or command) plus F” trick on your keyboard and type in that player’s name. Oh, and one more caveat. If someone looks lower than you thought he should be (a warranted reaction to some placements), bear in mind that cumulative numbers (think points, rather than points per game) are in play. So those who've missed plenty of time are affected by that. *Shout out to Tim MacMahon for coming up with the name "Huge Nerd Index" or HNI.

@bozestrong What does he know ??

Putting my money where my mouth is and buying no on this Thesis: 1. OpenAI is a multi billion dollar company ain’t no way they’re releasing a product in 11 days 2. Top holders were mostly sports betting. Hypothesis is they got lucky with the gpt txn fees and tried again

My four year old son, Charlie, has been going around the house throwing fake grenades at everything after watching his favorite player do it. This is not okay. What happened to good NBA role models who used to do things like gamble and go to Colorado
