Who’s the GOAT?

Put any two NBA seasons head-to-head, or translate one season into a different era. Every number is adjusted for how the game was actually played — and the full math is shown.

How it works

01

Pace

Counting stats are held per 100 possessions, then re-paced to the target era's tempo and the player's real minutes per game.

02

Scoring environment

Shooting efficiency is scaled by the ratio of league points per 100 possessions between the two seasons.

03

3-point rate

The player's own 3PA rate relative to their league is carried forward to the target season's 3-point volume.
