    I think that Steph is special because he has a pretty unique scenario. He's shown that he can be a dominant second option, a dominant first option, and arguably an even more dominant off-ball player while also revolutionizing the game. I'm by no means a warriors fan (roll knicks), but my utmost respect goes to that organization and how they've grown steph to be the core

    5:40 I too used to wonder why Dirk’s performance felt so good. One thing this model doesn’t capture understandably, but it’s significant and I think illuminates that je ne sais quoi Dirk had going: look at the points per game spread intra team. It was a low-ish scoring finals. Dirk’s % of team points allocation all series was tremendous. Never a night off. I mean look at game 3. Dirk shot 52% for a double double game high 36. Of the starters, a single player had double digit points. Technically Shawn had 10. But you get my point. He accounted for 42% of the teams points. Dirk didn’t have a Wade or Bosh. Jason Terry went off twice. But Dirk was efficient night in, night out. Eating clock, making shots count against a formidable big 3. It worked. And his play style was 100% the game changer.

    I know you’ve already put the asterisk that there are other factors than just the numbers that go into deciding the finals MVP. But specifically in the Steph / KD situation it’s so much more important, Steph is the arguably most unselfish star in the NBA, and when you rewatch the games you’ll see that KD could only put up those numbers and win those games cause of Steph’s magnetism of defenders opening up unbelievable spaces for KD. Steph sacrificed his numbers so another star can shine, he won rings for it but is always discredited because of it. Remember when KD left and Klay was injured and Steph was dropping James-Harden-in-Rockets-prime kind numbers? Steph can do so much more but he’s part of a system especially with Kerr’s impact on his minutes, it’s both a blessing and a curse. Still the best naturally gifted player in my books by a mile - man was born to play basketball yes!

      @KerwinSpringer 2 роки тому +18

      Some stats/pros that Steph would score high in but are not easily measured:
      1. How a player stretches the other team defense. It's said all the time that when he is on the ball being double teamed he is VERY happy to unselfishly pass the ball to the open guy. But additionally when Steph is on the court everybody has to RUNNNNN and stay running. (BTW This is one of the disadvantages of iso-basketball teams and ball hog superstars - the defending team doesn't have to run. They have time to think.)
      One of the reasons the warriors beat teams in 3rd and 4th quarters is because the opponents are gassed during crunch time. And one of the reasons the warriors are deadly in transition is because you are running from the time Steph crosses half court. Harder to coordinate the defense plan.
      2. Ability for teammates to be themselves. With Steph on the court there is no pressure if you try your thing and fail. He is by far the most team friendly superstar in the modern game. This plays out for small positives during a single game but for very big franchise benefits over time. Combined with Kerr's coaching style players are able to find themselves and their true form during the season when playing with the warriors... by the time the play offs arrives the whole Golden State roster can feel like a threat.
      3. Score quickly. I don't see much people talking about this but Steph has a habit of scoring in bursts. Nothing seems to deflate another side as when Steph goes on runs of raining 3's. This is his version of "clutch"

But to leave Giannis 1on1 with Deandre Ayton the whole series is probably the worst coaching I've seen in my life. I'll never use that against Giannis but when I think of that series, first I think of his greatness then I think of how stupid the Suns were

    The problem with result base analysis like these is the fact that it does not take into account the defensive tactic. A lot of great players don't have great numbers because the defensive team will focus more attention on them because they are that great.
    Remember when Steph was double the whole game, and he just decided to stand in the home court so that his team can 4 v 3 them. If you use result base analysis like this you will think Steph had no impact on the game. But the factthat he drew 2 players to him is more valuable than any of these metrix .

    Great video. I like these videos because it gives so many different perspectives. Stats are important but don't really shows exactly how valuable someone is. The Box +/- is often a flawed stat because a person can have 0 points with limited production and have a higher +/- than a person who has a 40-10-10 with efficiency, which is crazy. So while these scores/stats may suggest one thing, other outside factors like player gravity, the able to draw double and triple teams, and other intricate details a person can do that don't show up in the stats. Great video as always, Jxmy!

    @Andrew-tf3of 2 роки тому +29

    Really respect the video. However, I don't think I buy your statistical justification as the Finals MVP Game Score formula seems flawed.
    First, the interpretation of BPM is to measure player impact relative to the average player in the league (the average BPM is 0), wheras the interpretation of Game Score is more to understand the total impact of a player on the game (the coefficients in the Game Score formula have intuitive reasoning which directly correspond to point impact).
    Simply summing these two stats is dangerous because we're summing two stats with two varying scales (one stat is relative to the average player wheras the other is not). Secondly, even if they were on the same scale simply adding two numbers is not a valid justification and is generally bad practice statistics wise.
    Specifically, this is because it can lead to very dangerous conclusions as the way I conceive a formula can be inherently biased or skewed. For instance, if I were to state that the skill of a player was directly measured by his BPM, I could come to the ridiculous conclusion that Dejounte Murray is the 11th best player in the league. Thus, there would need to be some analysis on why the finals MVP score works (stats like game score and BPM attribute coefficients to each statistic either by intuitive reasoning or regression analysis). I personally don't believe that adding BPM (even if they were on the same scale) and Game Score has any real meaning at all - they're both, at their core, a framework for measuring player impact.
    I'd love to hear your thoughts if you think my understanding is flawed though.

    • @aravindsridhar2476

    In my opinion, Curry shouldve won finals MVP most if not all years he's won in the finals. He's the most valuable player on the Warriors with or without KD. His GRAVITY is why the Warriors have that championship pedigree. His shooting and movement off the ball forces the other teams' defense to gravitate heavily towards Curry so that his teammates can thrive and get better looks. Numbers even show that all stars that have joined Curry have had much more efficient and impactful stats. Yes KD was probably the best player on those Warriors runs (2018 is arguable because Steph was matching his numbers while also being double teamed WAY more than KD), but the attention that Steph brings is why the Warriors have had so much success. Just look at game 5, he was double teamed and blitzed all game because of his 43 point game before, which allowed Wiggins to attack the rim and go off. This is the same for KD when he was with the Warriors.

    I like the take, but I kindly disagree. The fact that the person who had the highest game score wins doesn't make sense, because they don't win the finals. This compares to the regular season MVP. You don't see players on a non-playoff team winning the MVP, and you rarely ever see players on low seeded playoff teams winning the MVP. It is usually players with the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd seed. This means winning is a huge factor to winning the MVP, which is the same with the Finals. It is a lot about impact, and the details and context. Its not just the stats. I only see the person on a losing team winning the Finals MVP if they TRULY DOMINATED the series, like Lebron in 2015, but not Kemp in 1996. You also have to take in to account the defensive contributions too. I also think that if a player on the losing team wins the Finals MVP, they have had to have taken the series to at least 6 games. I do agree with the winning team's players who should have won it, with the highest FMVP score, but mostly not the losing team. Great vid tho.

    Your videos are amazing, Jimmy! As a math guy, I love your statistical approach to analysis. Only thing I'd add to this MVP score you used here a measure for intangibles. One, for example, could be a measure of 'clutchness' and baskets that changed the complexion of the ties. These are things that decide games but might not be represented in the numbers. Fantastic video all round. Keep them coming!!! God bless.

    Maybe we can see this topic with some different prospectives. For example all who have watched Andre Iguodala in 2015 finals knows that his defense IN THE CRUCIAL MOMENTS OF ALL GAMES IN THAT FINAL AGAINST LEBRON JAMES was just something that I really felt and it appears time after time in my eyes. Maybe it was not the best if you look at the statistics, but he was just splendid to those final games.

      I'm sorry, but even his defense wasn't enough to steal the award from Steph and Steph definitely deserved that. Igoudala averaged 16 points in those finals and I think 4 or 5 assists on 52% shooting while Curry averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 44% shooting while by far the most impactful player on the offensive end from Golden State. And if you talk about Iggy's defense, maybe he is better defender than Curry, but his incredible defense really didn't helo against Lebron because he guardes Lebron in these series who averaged 36 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists. I'm sorry, but that's not enough to get my vote in those finals.

    The Kobe/Shaq thing wasn't a good debate for the *FINALS,* as by that point, you knew whoever won the West was winning the whole thing. Kobe's role was a lot more pivotal in the 3 rounds of the Western Conference Playoffs than it was in the actual Finals.
    Spurs, Mavs, Kings, Blazers, etc. were more difficult matchups than anyone coming out of the East, so the Lakers had to do more than just exploit the paint.
