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

hey guys, i just wanted to share what ive experienced this past week after i started listening to dylan james’ self-concept limitless love affirmations tape. Its kind of a long post but i feel like it can help some people.
-
i really wanted a pair of gloves, my mom bought me a pair without me asking (i did tell her i needed gloves but it was like days before she bought them) and the day she bought the gloves i thought about the gloves and thought that she would buy me a pair and she did.
-
i had a toxic friend and he would constantly talk to me abt my SP and it would make me spiral, i told him all the time not to tell me things about him but he never listened (he would tell me lies and basically things to make me feel bad about SP) and i finally was able to really stand up for myself and set boundaries and we’re not talking anymore, so i left this toxic friendship and feel so much better now

i felt bad the first 2 days, i would get a lot of negative thoughts and fears and doubts, i would doubt my own power and didnt think i could manifest them. However, dylan james does say that this is a a frequent « side effect » when starting his affirmation tapes, its kind of like a purge. Anyway, after those 2 days, i felt so much better and right now im in a great state. Anytime i think about my sp i just affirm that he is mine and he misses me stuff like that, and it completely changed because i used to spiral whenever i would think about him. Now i just know that no matter what i can manifest him back. Also, i feel so much better about myself, i feel powerful and like i can have whatever i want, it honestly amazing. Now there’s still some negative thoughts here and there but I got better at dismissing them and im not dwelling in them anymore the way i used to. In conclusion i really feel a shift within me and its only been like a week on that affirmation tape so i cant wait to see whats next.

Sp called me!!! Okay so, weve been no contact for like a little bit less than 3 months, and he called me a few days ago. However, it wasn’t intentional from what i heard, but i still think it’s movement. Basically, he was at a concert and called a bunch of ppl, including the toxic friend i mentioned earlier, and he was actually the one who told me this. So he told me that he called a bunch of people and that he thought he had called me. Since im always on do not disturb, i didn’t notice but i actually realized yesterday that he did call me. Yes he butt-dialed but stil
