[TOMT] [SONG] [2021] The current Guinness World Record holder for the longest officially released song. Created by Tharaneetharan Dhanayarajan from Canada and totaling in at 48:39:35. Apparently released on October 1st this year.

I tend to check the Guinness World Records page for the longest officially released song as it's starting to change a lot. Recently, it says that an artist by the name of Tharaneetharan Dhanayarajan but it gives no other details but the length, location, date, and production time. Not even a title (or at least not explicitly obvious considering how the page is awkwardly written. I tried to look up his name and the length as well as some guesses at the title but I can't find anything except that this dude is part of a casino and trading company. The world record specifies OFFICIAL releases so this has to be available on some sort of service. Previous record holders like The Rise And Fall of Bossanova, The Noise Militia, and Song For First Contact are easily accessible on Youtube and Spotify. If it's not released yet, then I have no idea why it would have a world record already. I can't even find any promotional material in like the hour that I searched. I need some help with this.

2002 to 2011 10 year Offense RAPM (No Box Score) Rankings: Tied 1st: Kobe Bryant/Lebron James, 2nd: Dwayne Wade, 3rd: Steve Nash, 4th: Chris Paul, 5th: Manu Ginobli, 6th: Baron Davis, 7th: Antawn Jamison, 8th: Jason Kidd, Tied 9th: Dirk Nowitzki/Ray Allen, 10th: Chauncey Billups

That's the ranking of 10 year RAPM (regularized adjusted plus-minus) from 2002 to 2011. For anyone who doesn't know what RAPM is, it basically looks at a player's plus-minus every single possession of every single game over the time frame, and then adjusts it based on who his teammates were on the floor and who the defenders were on the floor, and adds it all up in some complex statistical analysis to estimate a player's impact. There's no box score stats whatsoever when calculating RAPM.

Long-term multiyear RAPM is considered the gold standard of NBA advanced stats and all modern advanced stats are built upon it. Since it's an objective calculation using solely plus-minus on a possession by possession basis with no box score stats whatsoever, it's considered the least biased way to evaluate a player's impact. Of course, no stat is without its faults, and even this 10 year time frame can underrate players who were developing in the beginning (like Dirk, Chris Paul, Lebron) or aging at the end (Tim Duncan, Ray Allen). Also just to note that this is only regular season over this time frame.

Here's the source: https://sites.google.com/site/rapmstats/10-year-rapm. I only wanted to look at offense for this post.

Tied 1st: Kobe Bryant/Lebron James,

2nd: Dwayne Wade,

3rd: Steve Nash,

4th: Chris Paul,

5th: Manu Ginobli,

6th: Baron Davis,

7th: Antawn Jamison,

8th: Jason Kidd,

Tied 9th: Dirk Nowitzki/Ray Allen,

10th: Chauncey Billups

Anything interesting from these rankings? Anything that pops out? I think pertaining to Kobe Bryant the results are interesting as often in the current day there seems to be some people who portray Kobe Bryant as an inefficient scorer compared to other all-time greats when in reality his offensive impact was unparalleled during his time. His shot creation ability on very high volume on good efficiency along with his playmaking was clearly extremely efficient offense. Seeing Baron Davis here is also a big surprise. Ginobli is also somewhat surprising but most people who watched him play can attest to just how potent his offense was. He was James Harden before James Harden.

Seeing guys like Antawn Jamison, Baron Davis, Jason Kidd ranked above Dirk (I must add that they're very slightly above him) is a headscratcher, but when you look at a 6 year RAPM from 2006 to 2011, Dirk's offense is ranked 3rd, so clearly Dirk had improved a ton from 2002 to 2006.

Something that I thought was interesting to note was t

If you're wondering what would've happened if it was between 30k and 15k we wrote down our bets on a piece of paper and gave it to a third coworker to hold. We agreed that if it was in-between the third guy would get the beer of his choice.
