8 Unbelievable Charts That Will Change The Way You See The NBA 

Oh man. I tell you- at the end of that video I could barely believe it but it only took 8 charts to change the way I see the NBA.

hey that 33 mill for his last season was crazy

All these charts are kinda bs since they don't start at 0 to seem like players are way above others

Did you do Y=MX+B.

One of the reasons why they are so unbelievable is because many of them very wrong... I mean the numbers were correct but the charts were cut and shown in an unfair way to make it seem like the difference is even grater than it actually is

Hey thats scottie fault. MJ job is to play ball, not negotiate other people contracts. He signed that contract. Also, Scottie still walked away making over 110+mil playing basketball. Thats far from broke.

Damon Mays its a joke. ur a joke

MJ was paid at his free agency and so was pippen....66M for 4 years was not underpaid

Players are supposed to pay each other now? Lol what.

Scottie would lead the charts for the lowest paid vs player value

True. Both Barkley, & Jordan got screwed in that regard.

@@JKTProductionzIncNCo They screwed themselves in that regard. Mahomes is gonna have the same problem. Just don't sign long contracts, its only beneficial for the team.

Overpaid? He deserved it. In Wilt's own words, every team in the league should pay him for the amount of money he pulled to the league. Lol He's been criminally underpaid for a decade. Crazy thing is he didn't give a fuck. He said he will play even if he wasn't paid. He just wanted to ball. He was the only player with a "love for the game" clause. That he could play anywhere anytime. That's why there are multiple stories of MJ playing pickup games everywhere.. There's a gym that he liked because everybody there treated him like a normal guy. They weren't even athletes. Normal Joes.

If I was offered 2.5 million a year for 8 years, I might screw myself over too.

On the one hand, MJ was worth every penny, but looking at that chart, you can imagine why the front office was determined to freak up that team after 98

Hahaha

I paused the video for that one

why is there no chart for the number of years a player has played. Vince carter was way off the chart.

@@gotivanmomak I just looked it up. Vince hasn't been a regular starter since 2012 but still grabs lots of steals and very rarely turns the ball over. Crazy.

236 years 😧

No doubt

Truth!

and steals...

Doesnt hakeem hold steals record?

I’m not sure if he’s accounting for the stopping rule either

its not really misleading though, if you have a brain you're aware of where it starts, it would also look really messy to start with 0 in terms of the visuals of the video. Also finally its entertainment why would he put exact facts above entertainment, its only misleading if you're dumb, seriously the difference between the players is still accurate, straight up not what misleading means

@@noahleach7690 No, it's misleading. "giving the wrong idea or impression." The y-axis starts way later to make the differences seem bigger than they actually are. "It's only misleading if you're dumb" is a dumb thing to say. You could apply that to any form of deception or cheating.

@@trafalgarlaw8373 but the differences are proportionally the same, it doesn't change the differences and the fact that it starts that late allows you to fill in the context, its not complicated.

@@noahleach7690 you do realize 99% of humanity hates math, right? Yes, it is misleading if most people do not pay attention.

He might as well keep playing till the league bans him mybe he can be the only guy to play at 60

my take away....? I guess # of playoff games and # of wins aint mean much without ringss

I would start the baseline right below the next craziest chart.

youre just dumb if you cant imagine numbers below 400, it would take away from the clarity of the graph and the video if he started at 0. Judging from your comment I think you would 100 percent be complaining about the cluttered slides if he started at 0, no doubt in my mind.

Nah I prefer honesty. It's a misrepresentation of the data to start the graph at 400. Anyone who isn't paying close enough attention(most people) would get the wrong idea. Dude didn't even do a jagged line thing.

@@hopeisenough1317 I agree with the jagged line thing

@@MassaBroshi No question, but his winning percentage would not be IMPOSSIBLE to match just unlikely

Unrelated. But speaking of winning percentage, Larry Bird has a relatively high regular season+playoff winning percentage. Very underrated part of his game.

good point

Each era had their different playoff rules on how many games needed to be played. - modern NBA playoff rules require that the champion must win 16 games, so therefore must play 16 games minimum. All four rounds are best-of-7 . - in 1957, Russell's first year with the Celtics, his team only needed to win 7 games and played 10 games total in the playoffs. Based on a cursory glance through the BBall-reference playoff page, it seems like the best regular team in the conference only needed to play in the conference finals and finals; they had a first round bye. The first round was a best-of-5, and the conference finals and finals were best- of-7. - from 1957-1966, Boston had 9 first round byes out of a possible 10 playoff series. - these rules remained until 1967, when the NBA went with a 3 round format with no first round byes. 1967 had a first round best-of-5 format. 1968-1974 had a first round best-of-7 format. Russell retired after 1969. - 1975-76 had a best-of-3 wild card round before moving into the 3 rounds of playoffs. - 1978 was the first year of four round playoffs. From 1978-83, the first round was best-of-3. The final 3 rounds were best-of-7. -1984-2002 playoffs had best-of-5 for the first round series. The final 3 rounds stayed the same. - 2003 to present had the same rules as bullet number 1. From 1957 to 1966, Russell's Celtics played 111 out of a possible 145 playoff games. The number of possible playoff games played would jump up to 190 if they were required to play a best-of-5 first round series every year.

and he's like 24

H2LO Elfrid’s game is boring, he’s the point guard version of Tim Duncan.He’s fundamental like a mf. He doesn’t do anything exciting,but that don’t mean he isn’t effective. He’s so consistent people overlook him.

@@JusDecks you really gonna call Duncan's game boring??? Let me guess, you're 18 years old? I guess Garnett and Shaq were like watching snails as well? Lmao.

Palrath 1 uhhh lol ask anyone and they'll agree saying either ther spurs or duncan are borring. Not a bad thing obviously, and he's nothing like shaq or kg they have noteable quotes act ecentric at times and are more vocal and in your face when they played. 18 or not everybody knows that. Ps: Later in their careers they were snails lol especially shaq

@@ic5662 just watch his MVP years and rookie seasons. He's far more fun to watch than Kobe, Shaq, Garnett or Carter.

@@Palrath1 Damn I respect Duncan, but saying that he's more fun to watch than Kobe is ridiculous.

Comment of the day!!!!

I watched that season too,and i realized that Russ is just stat chaser.

Useless stats and losing style of basketball. Not historical

So much hate toward Russ for no reason. Russ is truly a once in a lifetime player we will never get to see again.

@@23aero42 Why hate? He puts up huge numbers but his teams don't win always with a lot of help. It is proven over and over. I don't care about triple doubles.

Russ has been the most exciting player to watch in the nba for 10 years. No one matches his energy and athleticism. Anyone who says different doesn’t watch basketball. Just because he tries harder and is smarter than other players doesn’t make him a stat chaser. Harden, Durant, ibaka, Fischer stay in OKC Russ prolly has 4-5 rings by now. Hell maybe 6-7.

LOL, I came to the comments to see if anyone commented about it.

That's only true for his first chip. But, the first 8 of his wins, you only needed to win 2 rounds to be the champ. That number's significantly distorted and shouldn't be on a chart.

20 straight seasons in playoffs - same as Tim Duncan''s time in the NBA. Coincidence? Not entirely.

bwink23 but he became a billionaire due to his brand lmao

and he played with wizards for charity

Bwink.u are right,MJ was under paid

Alfonso Dalisay Jr still could’ve been a billionaire getting payed in today’s salary in the NBA The value of contracts has exploded like heavy and shoe deals,investments and endorsement deals etc. etc And most importantly the league revenue is split 50/50 with players and owners so safe to say that MJ would definitely be a billionaire playing basketball 😂

GOD if MJ played now he’d averaged 42 8 7 shooting 50% for his entire career, defense now is shitty, MJ averaged 30 for his career playing in the most dominant defensive era, now how many rings would MJ get? Depends because of how the bulls played they wouldn’t hold up offensively in today’s game, especially against scoring PG’s, so let’s make it fair, MJ in on the 2019-2020 bulls, he’s at SG, his PG is D-Lo, SF is PG13, PF is Dario, C is steve adams, that’s a solid big 3 in MJ D-Lo and PG13 a nice shooter in Dario and glass cleaner in Adams, and I’d give them the Clippers current bench, with that lineup the Bulls would get no more than 5 rings, no less than 3, in today’s game, MJ would rack up more points being #1 scorer in NBA history, and I’d say 7 MVP’s, today’s game you truly cannot have dynasty anymore, only teams I really see becoming a dynasty would be the Pelicans and Clippers, Lebron is already on decline, Lakers can’t even get a solid coach, Clippers has an elite coach that lead the nonstar on roster clippers take the warriors to game 6, and Pelicans have revamped their staff

@@curryhands7459 Dead

It's really his attitude and inability to refine his game that is why people don't like him. Those Magic teams would have been better if he realized he wasn't actually good offensively and let perimeter players take the most shots. The dude had nearly 4 turnovers a game out of the center position, was only scoring a little over 20ppg despite getting the most touches, and was a liability when fouled. He was unquestionably the best rebound/blocked shot guy in the league, but his attitude and lack of refined skill held his teams back.

@@mikesannitti6042 well done.

@@mikesannitti6042 later in his career with the lakers and even last 2 seasons he was saying the business part of the league made him depressed and all that. Even when he was with HOU dream said in practice he does everything I teach him but in the games he don't. I'm assuming he has a problem with his self confidence or scared to fail.

@@eugenehofmann4013 It's probably from being made "the man" at a young age and when he was still raw with the Magic. They built him up like he should have been Shaq but really he was more Ben Wallace. The difference is Ben embraced who he was and was the anchor for a championship team. He's also probably a little depressed because he ended up sorta at odds with a lot of the older legends of the game like Shaq and Vince Carter.
