A) what the is a Galileo rating? Never heard of it and Google cant find it.
B) while Duncan is playing great ball, no sane observer would claim he's better than LeBron, who is number one on everyone's list of best on the planet.
Duncan best player in NBA this season
Tim Duncan
322 points
171 rebounds
45 assists
41 blocks
15 steals
+89 plus minus stat
sub total = +683 (Galileo plus rating)
111 missed FG
18 missed FT
26 turnovers
33 fouls
sub total = 188 (Galileo minus rating)
NET; 683 - 188 = 495 (net Galileo rating)
532 minutes played
net Galileo rating per 48 minutes = 44.7
----------
Lebron James
371 points
133 rebounds
97 assists
13 blocks
16 steals
+70 plus minus stat
sub total = +700 (Galileo plus rating)
128 missed FG
30 missed FT
37 turnovers
29 fouls
sub total = 224 (Galileo minus rating)
NET; 700 - 224 = 476 (net Galileo rating)
559 minutes played
net Galileo rating per 48 minutes = 40.9
44.7 > 40.9
Duncan > Lebron

Looks like he created his own formula. Cool
Oh. LOL. His user name is Galileo.
Uhhhhh... NOW I get it.
lebron has played 3 fewer games
looks legit
I lol'ed
This does not make sense to me.
You cant say the detriment of a turnover is equal to the benefit of a rebound.
You cant say an assist is equivalent to a single point scored, or a point scored by the team while the player happens to be out on the floor.
Etc
but you do
It's a /48 min stat.
Lol
No kidding. This is the kind of rating that one would expect to be conceived in the mind of a 10 year old with limited basketball knowledge.
"Hey I have a great idea! Why don't we just add up all the good things and subtract all the bad things!!!"
(Although I'm pretty sure this is a joke thread and the stat isn't meant to be taken seriously)
This is the most accurate formula ever devised by man.
You'd think so, but I swear I've seen this guy using this stat seriously before
The best part is the fruits of his labor show, unlike a certain player who's name rhymes with Obi
You can say these things, because I want to avoid the charge of being subjective.
For example, the straight up statistical value of a turnover may be larger than a rebound, but maybe those who make turnovers are the people pushing the ball, so maybe the penalty for TO should be less than it appears.
An assist is shared with another who scored, so maybe an assist should be worth a point in the system rather than 2.
Also, if you make an assist, your team just scored 2 points, so you really get +3 for an assist.
well, yeah, i didn't see the part where he had written minutes played i just saw the aggregate stats. i was just quickly trying to point out how silly a claim it is to make, not to mention how random the formula is. now i'll just point out that it makes a player more valuable to play more minutes, which lebron will end up doing, and so the per minute stat doesn't tell who is better, it tells you how good he is when he's on the floor. like with wages of wins, you have wins produced / 48 but then you have the total wins produced, which is what ultimately matters.
anyway i'm a little embarrassed i've said this much in reference to this topic so i'll end here
I think that rating was developed shortly after Galileo discoverd Jupiter's four largest moons in 1610.
Actually don't understand what you're trying to say here.
The ability to create an assist should definetly be weighted higher than 1 point scored. I thought this stat was to determine individual player performance, but you're more interested in trying to evenly distribute team production evenly amongst all players on the team.
And all it will take is a 3 pt shot by the other team made over Gary Neal who was stupidly out of position to completely erase Tim Duncan's assist.
There are so so many holes in this, just the fact that each of your arguments are based on "maybe"s is enough to debunk the whole system. There is no maybe in determining stats.
This just made my day.
He's not the best this season ... but he's closer than anyone could have imagined.
Timmy D plays defense to make sure his team wins games, tbh
Timmy is right now the number 3 player in the league overall and number 1 defensive.
a lot of assists are just throwing the ball to a dude with an open three. If he makes it, it is an assist. But if he misses, the exact same play by the passer is not an assist.
In related news, the Drz Metric shows Matt Bonner is leading the NBA in net star points.
Net Star Points = (3P%) * (1 - Rebound %)^(# of red hairs on head)
