The only players in NBA history who match or exceed each of Stephen Curry's career totals for playoff points, playoff assists, playoff rebounds and championships:

Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan I've said it before, but Stephen Curry has a real "top five all time" argument.

- Greatest shooter of all time (the game's most important skill)
- Nearly unmatched playoff resume
- Legitimately changed the sport
- Only unanimous MVP in NBA history

Pregame #STATSTHREAD!

Are the Utah Jazz the least consistent team in the NBA?

slcdunk.com/2018/12/17/181… In their 14 wins, the Jazz have an average point differential of 15.5.

In their 16 losses, the Jazz are minus-13.3 points per game.

The 28.8-point difference between those two numbers is the largest of any team in the NBA.

WS (cumulative): 10
WS/48 (rate): 4
TS%: 9

Players who match Ginobili's per-possession averages for PTS, REB and AST: LeBron, Bird, Drexler, Wade, Russ and Harden

Add steals and it's just Drexler. Where do you rank Manu Ginobili all time among shooting guards?

Marcus Smart #STATSTHREAD! Incoming! Marcus Smart is unique.

He's taken 1,094 3s & has a TS% of .480. Of the 113 in NBA history w/ 100+ 3PA & a .480 TS% or lower, Smart is 1 of 2 w/ a positive Box Plus-Minus. Lonzo Ball is the other one.

Hard to have a positive impact with such poor shooting. Smart does just that.

Monday #STATSTHREAD!

Looking at how the BPMs of international prospects in @DraftExpress' top 100 translate to the NBA, thanks to @JacobEGoldstein...

Luka Doncic's Spanish ACB-leading Box Plus-Minus of 7.93 translates to 3.41.

That would've ranked top 30 in the NBA, ahead of names like LaMarcus Aldridge, Draymond Green and Paul George.
