Otherwise, it appears that top-end value for superstars isn't materially greater in the playoffs than in the regular season, and many superstars fail to match their regular season value.
Most historical analysis has been offensive-centric - biased by the box score and ball-watching - and most rankings seem to underestimate both the high-end impact of defense and the wide range of defensive impact between most players.
While a player's value on a team can vary greatly from year to year, his actual quality - the theoretical average of all his values from every team - is generally much smoother, governed by aging and health.
I also apply themes that have emerged from historical research over the years, like the tendency of big men to have larger defensive impact, or that on-ball scoring, while incredibly important, doesn't outweigh other core skills like defense and passing.
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
