Pro Gambler Steve Fezzik: Michael Jordan was only worth 3.5 points to the spread

[AlexJones]

And 10 wins on the season win total. The 93-94 Bulls were fully expected to win 50+ without Jordan.

LJ is worth about 6 on the spread, and 20 wins on the season win total.
Shaq was worth 4.
Curry 3.5-4.

Now, the game has changed and with high pace of play/ more possessions, individual star players impact the game more than ever.

Matt Ryan became more valuable than Montana/Marino at their peaks after people figured out passing>running

But Shaq in 2004 was still worth more than peak Jordan and there wasn't a huge change in pace of play.

Something to think about imo

Sup OP ! Need your various NBA bets for the 2018-19 season so we can avoid them like the plague just in case some us want to make some money..

Given that most NBA games are decided by 15 or less and often times 10 or less, that isn't a big deal.

Yup. Players that make their teammates better are gonna have a bigger impact on the spread. Point spreads swung when Bird sat out; that's for damn sure. Kobe sitting out was like nothing to the spread. :lol
