Which list is more impressive?
Please take into account names, stats and number of games played, which would be harder to accomplish, which is a truer reflection of a players skill, and please don't let any agenda stop you from being honest with yourself and your board members. After all that, please choose the list you are more impressed with (either list A or B) and give a short explaination as to why you chose the list you did. Thanks.

Re: Which list is more impressive?
List A is slightly more impressive for a couple of reasons:
1. When you average all the numbers together, you get these results:
List A - 25.0 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 5.6 apg
List B - 25.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 5.1 apg
As you can see, List B is barely better at PPG while list A is better at RPG and APG.
2. Also, list A is over a period of MUCH more games against a variety of opponents, rather than just 1 opponent. It shows consistent excellent numbers night in and night out. In a playoff series, sometimes, certain players put up excellent numbers because of match-up issues. Plus, a small sample size is not always the best way to judge any kind of statistical analysis. You need to look at more than just statistics to judge playoff series with such few games. The stats can still look very impressive, but in order to truly understand what happens in those games, you have to watch and analyze them. With regular seasons, you don't have to do that as much because of the larger sample size.
3. When you look at the names of the players, every single player on list A is in the HOF (the ones who are eligible, I mean). Not every player on list B is in the HOF. Like I said, when you're dealing with small sample sizes, players can put up numbers that look better than they actually are.

Re: Which list is more impressive?
No prob, bob. But why did you leave out Jordan and Kareem?paskeezy3000 wrote:wow. great, thought out analasys. thanks for the contribution man. i agree with you.Ghostown42 wrote:List A is slightly more impressive for a couple of reasons:
1. When you average all the numbers together, you get these results:
List A - 25.0 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 5.6 apg
List B - 25.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 5.1 apg
As you can see, List B is barely better at PPG while list A is better at RPG and APG.
2. Also, list A is over a period of MUCH more games against a variety of opponents, rather than just 1 opponent. It shows consistent excellent numbers night in and night out. In a playoff series, sometimes, certain players put up excellent numbers because of match-up issues. Plus, a small sample size is not always the best way to judge any kind of statistical analysis. You need to look at more than just statistics to judge playoff series with such few games. The stats can still look very impressive, but in order to truly understand what happens in those games, you have to watch and analyze them. With regular seasons, you don't have to do that as much because of the larger sample size.
3. When you look at the names of the players, every single player on list A is in the HOF (the ones who are eligible, I mean). Not every player on list B is in the HOF. Like I said, when you're dealing with small sample sizes, players can put up numbers that look better than they actually are.
