    pretty nifty tool, lol so the year Shaq won the scoring title he'd basically average 34-35 PPG in today's inflated numbers.

    A traditional center averaging that many points in today's league would be legendary to say the least.


    Wonder how accurate this is, lol its going to be fun to play around with

    Immediately went to look at Kobe’s big year.

    2005-06 year, averaged 35,4 points per game. This says in 2023-2024 he’d average 41.68

    so I guess I like this tool

    I was playing with it and want to break it for fun.

    at the same time wouldn’t there be an assist inflation in a sense
