Looking for Historical Stats

[Guru of Nothing]

Is there a good site where I can pull statistics for the past 10 years, to include "minutes played?"

What I am angling for is data that shows the reemergence of the center position, statistically speaking. 5 or 6 years ago, it seemed you had Shaq, a declining Admiral (Hakeem and Ewing too), and then the talent level (or production) dropped dramatically to the Jim McIlvaines, Ostertags, and Earvin Johnson's of the world. Nowadays, while not exactly studly, there is a lot of talent (and production) emerging from the center position - Nene, Kaman, Pryzbilla, Dalembert, Brezec, Magloire, Krstic, Curry (who I expect to go Oliver Miller just as soon as he signs his next contract), and Chris Mihm too. All this plus Shaq, Brad Miller, Z, and Yao.

That's all. Just an interesting thought on a boring night.

I use that site a lot.

Also, though maybe not in your case, try

http://www.allsports.com/nba/stats/stats_noframes.htm

That's only from '88-'01 though

82games.com is full of crazycool stuff also.

This one is probably the best one.
