A fun advanced stat called BPM (box plus/minus) … basically a bit like wins above replacement.
Career Playoff BPM for these guys:
MJ – 11.1, Joker 10.8, Lebron 10, Steph 7, Jimmy Buckets 5.7, Brunson 4.0, Pussy KAT 1.1 … for the KAT lovers he’s barely above an average guy! – 10:06 AM
“Basketball is the biggest sport we have in our country,” he explained, “Jokic is phenomenal. Honestly, what he does, how he does it. And also, the way he goes about his private life. People thought at the beginning that he was fake, that he was like not interested in anything except his family and his horses. But that’s really everything he is interested in, truthfully, honestly. I really respect that.” “He’s such a talent, he also works hard, and he has got a huge basketball IQ, and just to see him dominate with incredible athletes in American basketball is just something we are all very proud of,” he added, “We all support him.” -via EuroHoops.net / June 2, 2025
