The Joker is again the Magic Metric MVP. based on Total Metric, metric per game and metric per minute. Top 200 players listed in order based on product of metric per game times metric per minute: rank Player Games Magic Metric per game per minute product 1 Nikola Jokić 74 2499.15 33.77 1.01 34.11 2 ...

I wondered if they had changed things when they came up with the final 3 list. Marketing hype I suppose.

Thanks for deleting the duplicate post!

I agree with Mike that the MVP race is not close. If you use the magic metric to rank total contribution, Jokic has a season total over 2300, with no other player being over 1900. I use the product of the per game and per minute rating to rank players according to talent, but think the MVP should be...

Thanks Mike

Good points. It does include the post all star break numbers. Thanks to whomever for deleting my duplicate post.

Every few years I go back and see how the Magic Metric holds up against newer player ratings. I always felt the best measure was a combination of the per game and per minute rating, and I rated players as a product of the two. Just pulled this years stats, and it appears Jimmy Butler was the greates...

The total number of possessions per game has gone up, since the shot clock was reduced.
Thus, it is hard to compare the statistical numbers as there are more points, rebounds, etc, with more possessions.

I was hoping someone else would do the math and find my error. I can't believe the performance per minute has increased that much. Perhaps it has, with the rule changes to the NBA. It may be interesting to contrast the Magic Metric Player rating system with Player Efficiency. Here is the current ran...

I used to run a website, magicmetric.com, that listed the NBA player ratings on a per minute and per game basis. I could never decide which of the two were more important, so I ranked players by a product of the two. The average player had a per minute rating of .4/minute with good players averaging...

Thanks for this effort. It appears MM likes guards more than the others, bigs not so much. What is CBS? Chris Paul at #43 ? MM uses only box stats, and I think everyone agrees that the box doesn't value defensive presence enough. Maybe one reason the bigs don't get enough love. But I do believe the...

CBS seems to penalize players that have missed a lot of games due to injury.

I was going to do a top 100 list, but got really, really tired last night, lol.

I took the player rankings from 5 sources, Magic Metric( product of per game and per minute rating), PER, eff, xRAPM, and CBS. Threw out the high and low ranking for each player, averaged the position and ranked accordingly. Overall ╔══════╦═══════════════════╦════════════╦══════╦══════╦═══════╦════...

Dan, Thanks for the kind words. I guess I am one of the old guys now, lol; and an obscure, relatively unknown pioneer. Without question, the box score stats do not reflect all of the player's contributions. And it is extra hard to evaluate NBA players contributions across varying competition and wit...

Paul George is a great player. But I wouldn't take him ahead of Love, Carmelo, Blake Griffin, or Dirk.

You could make a case for George ahead of Cousins, Westbrook, Hardin, or Alridge, without a debate from me.
