    I spent 30+ years as a multi-discipline analyst. This is precisely the kind of analysis I would've gotten paid for. Excellent work. For reference, I expected Jokic and Giannis to come out on top. Didn't see Butler coming, but it makes complete sense now that I think of it. He's LeBron if LeBron never wanted to be a point guard, or if he were slightly smaller and less inclined to punish guys down low.

    I'm a freshman major in Data Science and this research perfectly shows the power (and coolness) of using raw data to explain the world around us. However, one thing I noted in the video is how you used players' career stats, instead of just a portion of it. For example, in a statistic like dominance, a player who is currently at their peak (like jokic) will finish far higher than a player that is now considered washed (like westrbook). Different stages of a player's career does impact the way they play, Lebron being a great example of that. To be honest, I don't know how you could overcome this aspect while using data from only current NBA players, so maybe your experiment was the the most accurate assessment possible. Thank you for another amazing watch!

    • @fangiscool1
      @fangiscool1 3 месяца назад +27

      This isnt an experiment and nothing is ever the most accurate assessment possible. I'd also say the goal here is to provide insight, not explain the world. There's too many confounding factors to draw any causal conclusions. For example, lebron surrounds himself with shooters every season, so his passing numbers are way inflated compared to players who don't have that luxury

      I'm not sure though he's pretty close sure but the problem with High roller is gets to focused on stats and treats the NBA as a video game not real-life, data sheets don't play a part of outcomes in real life through a series of yes and no rng stat generators, next week the worst player in the NBA could drop 300 and a penta double or luka could chose he never wants to hit 3's again or Labron becomes a UFC fighter or a man with down syndrome could become the new goat, humans exist in real life where there are no rng codes that generate outcomes but merely by straight no rules physics and biology where if it's possible it will happen eventually given enough time and space.
      Labron James is nearly the perfect player he's the real NBA robot but has a few flaws; like being the main charter of the show but rarely being the main charter of the season, being a mixed team player, getting everything handed to him by the front, he plays for outcomes not sport and playing white collar basketball.
      Jimmy Butler has been the most misused NBA goat maybe ever the front everywhere he goes the front all but on paper actively prevents him from winning, he's skinny not wide or dense ( I mean just compare their head thinness to get an idea how much smaller jimmy is to Labron I mean luka is closer in size Labron) so he's a small scraper player not small mountain player, he plays blue collar basketball, he plays for sport not outcome and is never the main charter even though he's a goat.
      If anything, Ben Simions or Zion or ja Morant or another bust with bad stats drafted first round is the closest to Labron if not a guy like Sabonis when he hits his prime or Jokic if he try's.
      High roller just avoids context and facts to make a narrative out of data sheets, Labron's current closet doesn't have to be a successful American black man, Shaq's was Greg oden till a few years ago, let alone claim it's the real modern Jordan because of stats with no context and he doesn't want to admit it was a bad question.
      High roller always asks the wrong questions and gets bad results, if the answer sounds wrong it's because you are and asked the wrong question, yet he stands on the hill and gets proven wrong all the time, if Jeff Bazos can admit he makes bad questions and get off the hill then high roller surely can.

    The only important metric that I would've liked to have seen integrated into this is something involving playoff performance. Maybe comparing regular season stats versus playoff stats in a simple ration manner to see players who raised their game the same amount as him. It might have made things even closer for Butler, although I think he probably raises his game more than James, just because James probably beats him more during the regular season. Incorporating a "playoff clutch" stat or even "Finals Clutch" stat, would probably helped guys like Butler and Leonard (back when he played playoff games) and hurt guys like Paul and Harden.
    Some clutch or playoff metrics would've made things even more interesting, but I have to say you did an amazing job as always, and I really appreciate you putting in the work like you always do.

    • @ogbmt
      @ogbmt 3 месяца назад +8

      ​@@dantesmith9153 I agree, I actually think Jimmy missed an important factor in his final calculation. From what he said, it sounded like he just took the average of each category score as the similarity score. This is, in my opinion, a flawed approach.
      The way to calculate the final similarity score should be to take the difference from Lebron in each category (100 - the percentages he showed), and square them. Then add these together for each player, and the player with the lowest total is the most similar to Lebron.
      The reason for doing this, is that it puts more emphasis on being similar to Lebron in all categories. This would prevent let's say a hypothetical Nate Robinson type player from having the highest similarity score to Lebron because the height category difference squared would become way bigger, and you would get the more accurate end result of players like Jimmy Butler and Paul George rising to the top of the list.

    "Combo guards" are posting up and cutting more,

    bigs are trying to be a offense hub.

    All I know is that advanced stats have only loved two players as much as Lebron, and that's Jordan and Jokic. All three are offensive grand masters and the best playmakers at their positions.

    • @Anthonydu01630

      Wemby will be the next on that list, Wemby is basically a 7’5 AD (Defense+ rebounding+lob treat), who can shoot pull up 3’s like Curry and pass like Jokic, and both AD and Curry are also loved by the advanced stats so just imagine what Wemby will do just next season if Cp3 still got a little bit of fire in him they could seriously be contender, that’s how good he is and we saw how elite and versatile rim protector can impact the game even more in the Playoffs (AD, Gobert, Chet, Mobley, Porzingis ect), some of them had playoffs serie or even run averaging over 4 or 5 block per game, even tough they never average over 2.5 in the regular season, or they had battles with elite bigs like Jokic and if you have a player who can just make life harder for Jokic i think that’s the minimum you need to beat him because at this point Jokic is a Lebron, MJ, Curry, KD level offensive player who can score his 30pts triple double almost every game no matter what you throw at him in the Playoffs, the Wolves needed 3 physical bigs+ elite perimeter defense+ Jamal Murray no show to beat him in 7 games … So yeah i think Wemby will destroy the analytics stats, he could become a Lebron, MJ, Jokic level offensive player with Bill Russel defense .. Insane prospect

      Paolo has a similar build he can post up and all that but if you watch the magic you'll realize he's more of a pullup midrange and fadeaway shooter rather than someone who drives as much like lebron one they get better spacing maybe he'll be better in that regard

    It’s funny because ever since 2020 I’ve kinda viewed the Heats duo of Jimmy and Bam as like a knockoff version of the duo of Lebron and AD. I don’t really like thinking it because it feels like a bit of a disservice to Jimmy and Bam, I think it’d be better to say their just a step below but yea as a Heat fan myself everytime we face the Lakers I’ll find myself thinking that atleast once.
