What are you talking about? It ended pretty well all things considered.

He absolutely should have his number retired.

Yeah if they’re not retiring the jersey of a legend like Hagan, why the hell would they retire Trae’s?

Defensive stats are a relatively new development in the NBA. Guys who played before defensive statkeeping became so expansive/common all get a massive boost in 82-0. Something to do with how they arbitrarily assign defensive/rebounding statistics to those old cats. I’m not sure you can actually go 82-0 with an entirely “modern” set of players.

He is the top value PF you can choose based upon the way the score is calculated.

As ImChz said, there is a boost older players in the 60s or early 70s get a bonus to cover the lack of calculated steal and block stats which are highly valued, but also the raw stats of their day were highly inflated by the general lack of quality defense.

The score is a raw box score stat that doesn’t factor in anything but raw box score (efficiency, team success  etc). Russell Westbrook’s triple double in Washington is ranked the 2nd best PG of all time after Big O in the 60s and he wasn’t even an All Star.

There are a lot of 82-0 combinations but you have to get lucky and roll either 5 teams with guys with huge cross-board stats or roll Wilt in the 60s/70s or Kareem in MIL 70s which are high enough scores to give you leeway in other positions.

Felt like it
