In the NBA world, player value judgment has always been dominated by basic data such as scoring, rebounding, and assists. However, the rise of high-level data of positive and negative values is changing the rules of the game - it simply records the scores of the team's net victory or net loss when a player is on the court, but it strips away the appearance of gorgeous data and points directly to the players' real impact on the game's victory or loss. Recently, the US media listed the 10 players with the highest positive and negative values in NBA history. Let's see who was selected:
1, Jokic +10.28's first positive and negative value
As the most passer center in history, he is an offensive system. Jokic proves with his actions that basketball IQ can surpass physical talent. His game is like a slow motion replay, but he can always predict defense two steps in advance.
2. Jordan ranked second with a plus-negative value of +9.21
is the ceiling of the shooting guard. In 1988, he won the MVP, DPOY and scoring champions at the same time, proving his unsolved rule on both offense and defense.
3. James occupies the third with a plus-negative value of +8.53 (tying with the Magician)
James averages 27+7+7 games in his career, which is his continued influence over twenty seasons. Behind his 10-time Finals is James' control of the rhythm of the game.
4. Magic, replaced Jabbar as the center in the rookie season finals, scored 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists alone, and the legend with plus-minus value +12 is still amazing. He averaged 11.2 assists in his career, and his long fast break passes are like precision-guided missiles, which has made the Lakers' offensive efficiency top three in the league for 8 consecutive years.
5. Robinson ranked fifth with a plus-negative value of +7.47
as the Grand Slam winner, rebounding king, and blocking king. Robinson won the awards for both scoring king and best defensive player in a single season in 1995, and his dominance on both offense and defense was fully demonstrated. When Duncan joined, 33-year-old Robinson took the initiative to give up his offense and focused on defense. In the 1999 playoffs, his defense positive and negative value reached +5.3, building a no-fly zone for the Spurs' first championship.
6. Bird +6.89
As the only three-game MVP winner in the 1980s, he controlled the pace of the game with his seemingly slow steps, setting a precedent for modern all-round forwards. His passing vision increased the Celtics' offensive fluency by 37%, and was the stealth engine of basketball in the 1980s.
7, Stockton +6.84
As the NBA's historical assist king (15,806 times) and steal king (3,265 times), his influence on the court is like a precision clock. The "Pick-and-roll Double Devil" composed with Carl Malone led the Jazz to the playoffs for 19 consecutive years and reached the Finals twice.
8, Antetokounmpo +6.74
In 2020, he became the third player to win MVP and DPOY in a single season. From the European dunk with the ball in the backcourt to the big hat of chasing the ball, Antetokounmpo ran 2.5 miles on both ends of the offense and defense in each game, and is currently moving towards a more comprehensive player of the game.
9. Paul proves that the traditional point guard is not dead with a plus or negative value of +6.59. He is only 1.83 meters tall, but with the second-largest assist and steal data in history, he redefines the influence of the small man. In fact, Paul's pick-and-roll decisions, bottom-line ball tactical design, and even the wisdom of deliberately missing free throws to grab rebounds after rebounds are transformed into positive points that cannot be reflected in the traditional data table.
10. Leonard, with +6.48, went from the defensive champion in the Spurs era to the offensive and defensive core in the Clippers era, his value has always surpassed the basic data. Behind the two championship trophys and two FMVPs is his control of the rhythm of the game - locking the opponent's arrows on the defensive end and ending efficiently on the offensive end.
