So basically, if the Heat won this year's finals, they would have had the second hardest path to a championship EVER, with an SRS rating of 23.15. Thats crazy af

I wished they did win not like I don’t want LeBron to win but I just want the underdog to win
@@1kbmahan even as a Lakers fan, I would catch myself rooting for them sometimes
DUDE! Now this is epic!
Giannis bucks weren't that strong though... So the rating means F-all
Happy to see that Hakeem’s second ring has been confirmed as the toughest championship since ‘84. That team is incredibly underrated.
I agree. That 95 Rockets playoff run was straight up inspirational. I'm not saying they were the greatest team ever to win a Championship, or even close, but there run to the title was the most impressive I've ever seen outside of 2001 Lakers and 2011 Mavs
And Hakeem is incredibly underrated ...never mentioned when discussing best C of all time ..they always mention Wilt, Bill, Kareem ..Hakeem should be right with them !

They actually made 6 and probably would've made it in 2001 and 2002. Maybe they could've come out over a banged-up Cavs team in 2015. So probably more like 8 or 9, 10 at most.

The early 2000’s is the most defensive era in basketball. A 20ppg scorer means much more then than now
Or the league changed and now 3s made players average more points , no defender was actively guarding the 3 as much then I will say the league was more physical and rough then
The 1990 Bad Boy Pistons have entered the chat...
@@freakydex3301 Partially but also the pace is faster so there are more possessions than the 90’s and 2000’s
This year there are 26 20+ PPG scorers (12 25+ PG scorers) in the NBA.
Last season there were 43 20+ PPG scorers (17 25+ PG scorers)
In 00/01 there were 25 20+ PPG scorers (8 25+ PPG scorer)
In 01/02 there were 27 20+ PPG scorers (6 25+ PPG scorer)
In 02/03 there were 26 20+ PPG scorers (6 25+ PPG scorers)
In 03/04 there were 22 20+ PPG scorers (2 25+ PPG scorers)
In 04/05 there were 27 20+ PPG scorers (7 25+ PPG scorers)
In 05/06 there were 28 20+ PPG scorers (10 25+ PPG scorer)
So if you look at it... something drastically changed this year and the number of 20+ PPG scorers is right back at the same rate then it was in the early 2000... the only change? The new Foulshot rule... strange, isnt it?
I'd say from 90s to 2000s were the most defensive minded.
LeBron made it to the finals with a team that had an srs score less than 1 lmao

Although his guy isn't the goat either. Kobe or shaq is... Which honestly I think would be the goat bc lbj and mj votes cancel out and generally kobe is always considered 2nd best after 1 of them depending who you ask.
Either way if rings carry so much weight then I guess robert horry and Steve kerr, and definitely pippen are like top 10 and Russell is #1 right? Think if lebron was to have 4or5 rings, be 1st or even 2nd in pts and top 10 in rebound and assist can't deny he's goat.

@@omb3d80 You're really doing that ?! So you're not gonna give credit to Kyrie for the 2016 chip ?!! Come on !! Not only did he have Kyrie, but also had Love !! Dirk had no one in their prime, Kobe had Gasol ..who I would take over Love, but in terms of production, let's not forget that Love averaged 19 and 12 in MIN..and a good 17 and 10 in CLE ..as a #3 guy ..Gasol had similar number as the #2 option !! ..Hakeem and Duncan didn't have players at a star level (yet) ..and Isiah ..my god !!! He had Dumars (All-Defensive 1st team, 6x all star), Rodman (you know..the one that everyone keeps saying he's the best defensive player ever and helped Jordan win on a stacked team ...well, he was 10x better as a Pistons), Aguirre (3x all-star) !!...Come on !

As some comments have already said, one potential flaw of this calculation is that it doesn't take into account the champ's own SRS. E.g. the Warriors' 2017 championship might not have actually been that difficult given that they had freakin Steph, Klay AND Durant! (tbf this depends on how you define "difficulty"; do you define it like video-game difficulty where it's just based on how good your opponents are, or do you take into account your own skill as well?)
Anyways, I redid the calculations, taking into account the champ's SRS.
I wasn't sure what was a better way to incorporate the champ's SRS; whether to divide the sum of their opponents' SRS by their own SRS ( (a+b+c+d)/C ), or to subtract the champ's SRS for each opponent they defeated ( a-C + b-C + c-C + d-C ), so I tried both.

Yeah, I think this stat and this methode of finding the hardest path definitely has some shortcomings. Unfortunaly he didn't menchend this.
You can't blame the lakers for playing against the nuggets and not against the clippers If the CLIPPERS lost to the nuggets. So the lakers have faced the better team. Furthermore the bucks were by far not as good as this SRS says actually in the playoffs.
Heat handily beat the Bucks and Nuggets beat the Clippers. Had Lakers faced off against those teams, their championship would have been easier while taking out teams with much higher SRS. This system is flawed.

I think the bubble had alot to do with it. No fans no travel no media. Just basketball. And because of that teams with bad records were able to shine and play better basketball. Ie - the suns - the heat - the nuggets beating clippers. The bubble really showed us who the real hoopers are. When its just pure basketball no distractions and no extra stuff the real hoopers showed up.

But wouldnt the lack of fans and media make it harder to get a championship because teams are playing at a higher level?

@Ooo You Cute yes that is exactly what I mean. Players are playing better so a championship should be harder right?
@Ooo You Cute If teams are playing at a higher level in the bubble then it still doesnt make the path for the lakers any harder because most teams with the higher seating didnt play as good as expected but underdogs like the nuggets showed out.
Nevermind all that this just told me how underrated Hakeem is as a centre... Everyone says he is very good but has 2 of the hardest rings and back to back

Excellent channel, thank you for all your hard work and enlightment.Peace to all.
And some people really say that Mike had it easy in the 90's. He was just too dominant and Bulls worked good together
What are you talking about? Did you even watch MJ play? This is what I don't like about stats; they never reflect the actual game play. How many HOF's did MJ have on his teams in total? 2! One was a transfer and the other was home grown. The stats doesn't show this!
The SRS is boosted because of the expansion teams
expansion teams buddy, MJ had many of the easiest rings ever. 6 new teams were added between 1988 and 1995 which boosted the teams SRS as the new teams were bad and boosted the winrates of existing teams
This is also assuming that players aren't taken out during the last mins of a game. For example, a team could be up by 20 to a shitty team and the coach pulls out their starting 5 and plays bench players. The game ends up being won by 10 or 8 then the SRS looks horrible. Or the other way around, a team starts fouling at the end usually giving up more points. To what would've been a closer game now is lost by 8 or 10 points.
yeah i like the video but the srs stat is kinda flawed, there's also injuries to take into consideration
@@matthewzhu3246 you also got to take into account the play in tournament that happened this. Year which affects a bunch plus corona
This is exactly what happened at game 6 of the finals. Lakers stopped playing hard defense on 4th quarter which allowed a 30-point lead to become a seemingly more respectable scoreline.
@@matthewzhu3246 To be fair he stated that the stat is flawed. But still over the course of a full season, how often is an instance like this happening? And if that team is blowing out others that often, then they’re likely the finals winner that’s being compared. So, while it’s a flaw in the statistic, it’s a very minute one.
Not to mention injuries or trades during the season. The blazers in the playoffs this year weren’t the regular season team and the rockets completely changed halfway through the season

There are flaws to every stat but this one is full of them. And the thing is, some of them are easily fixable.
1) SRS by itself clearly doesn’t work as a metric. If you want to use something like this you need to have your own SRS adjusted upwards once you beat a team with higher SRS. When the Heat beat the bucks, their SRS should improve. How much it should improve should also take into account how easily or difficultly one team beats another team.
2) There needs to be some higher weighting towards the highest SRS team you won when you add up the SRS. I may have three easy rounds but one round where I beat the theoretically best team of all time. That ain’t an easy championship but would still land me around 15-20. It’s hard to weigh properly because it’s going to be arbitrary, but it needs to be captured.
3) My own SRS should matter. If I have SRS of 6 and I beat a team with SRS of 12, not only my SRS should be then adjusted upwards but my win should matter more than if my own SRS was 11 and I beat a team with 12. An easy fix for this is to use SRS ratios rather than absolute SRS.
4) Injuries. SRS needs to be adjusted for injuries during the playoffs. In theory last year’s Raptors beat the GSW who may have had a high SRS but had two of their star players injured during that match up.
There are many more flaws that I’m too lazy to talk about. But this metric is absolutely flawed. So much that I don’t think it can be safely used even just to give any sense of direction.
To give an example, if I had the greatest SRS of all time with a score of 82-0 and say an SRS of 15, I could sweep 4 equally worse teams with SRS of 6 each team and with everyone of these teams getting their players injured and this would be considered the toughest championship of all time.
You’ve essentially rendered this entire video useless and I’m so happy you did. The bubble doesn’t even apply to any of these regular season stats either. This path can’t be one of the all time easiest and it needs to be properly calculated based on the info you provided to determine where it actually stands based on the true SRS ratio. I think the bubble needs to affect that. Home court advantage is statistically the most important and beneficial advantage to have for an NBA team than any other sport and the lack thereof in the bubble should be reflected statistically to help support or deny his claim in the video. Jimmy should really consider deleting this video for providing misleading information and re-make one with proper calculations factoring everything
Thank you, this was literally common sense, and I was for the first time, appalled at how atrociously bad & beyond dumb Jimmy was with this video... like seriously fr, wtf...
@@navid1906 THANK YOU!! I literally couldn’t have said it any better & you took the words right out of my mouth. I can’t recall ever seeing Jimmy post something this had & being this blatantly dumb, but this is so bad that it actually makes me have to question his credibility... ‘lol.’
I was watching this with raised eyebrows and I’m so happy this comment was here after I was done. That and navs reply. The bubble happened months after a season was paused and every team entered the bubble fully rested outside the many norms that always happened. Teams that did poorly throughout the season given injuries could be completely different as they entered the bubble. Upsets happened and SRS should factor in how a teams SRS improves after an upset then progressively until they reach the finals. A really interesting thought to dwell on but it seems half-baked to make a video at this moment.
Why Dosent your comment have more likes wtf
I feel like this stat is kind of misleading. I mean the Heat essential reinvented them selves going to the finals and in Cleveland, LeBron didn’t play his hardest until the playoffs and this stat is based on regular season.
Its biased when it hurts brons career😂
Umm lebron has versed/won the least amount 50+ win teams in his career than any of the names emphasized in the video like shaq kobe mj dirk etc.. this stat shows how lebron never versed the hardest teams till the finals exactly like u said.

One reason this could be though is parity. Point differential will be lower if teams are better so maybe the more top heavy the league is, the more difficult the chip looks.

honestly, the best self-ad you'll ever see
You have a point. But if the league is top heavy, than that ultimately means that the chip probably is difficult... you know what i mean?
They did mention that SRS takes into account "strength schedule", but I don't necessarily know how that works. Could disprove your theory though
Lebron has never had to defeat three teams with 50-wins or two teams with 60-wins in any Playoff run.
JORDAN"s team accomplished this in 5 of his 6 Playoff runs.
pretty sure it's the other way around

This is the best basketball video that I ever seen in my life .
2000-2001 Lakers were probably my all-time favorite single season team to watch. Greatest playoff run I've ever seen. Kobe and Shaq as a dynamic duo in that playoff run especially, I believe reached the absolute pinnacle that you can reach as 2 all-time greats in or near the prime of there ability could be able to accomplish together. They literally were an overtime loss to that year's MVP Iverson and the overachieving scrappy Sixers in game 1 of the Finals, from being the only team ever to go undefeated in the playoffs.
They had a mediocre regular season but historical postseason. the 01 lakers is a reminder as to why the '16 warriors were overrated- regular season record is a poor metric as to a team's quality

That’s when the Kobe and Shaq tension began to get public and became a season long talking point for the media.

Also I was thinking could there be another way to total the SRS?
Since a 0.59 in the finals might make it seem like it's a cakewalk for the opposing team
but that 0.59 team also "defeated Indiana 1.18, swept top seeded Toronto 7.29 and eliminated Boston 3.23 in 7 games"
With this factoring everything in mind, it'll be nice to see a diff chart.
Just remember that this doesn’t take into account what actually happened during the runs. For example the Cavs were going against a 73-9 team and down 3-1 are lower than a Lakers team who went up against only AI.
and don't forget the stimulus package that the NBA gave to the Cavs.
True but outside of the finals who did they face? 01 lakers comp > 16 Cavs comp in totality.
@@GodZanko1231 01 lakers comp? The 01 LAKERS? They had a stacked team. The 16 Cavs had 3 good players and maybe 2-3 good roleplayers but 01 Lakers were stacked af. I wouldn't say it was the comp but it was how they played as a team. I'll go have a look at the stats during their games in those playoffs.
Never forget they only won because of LeBrons dirty play on draymond in Game 5 changed the whole series. And this Title Lebron won because the Lakers complained to the league about foul calls. He soft idc what anyone says great player but he soft
Lebron James has never had to defeat three teams with 50-wins or two teams with 60-wins in any Playoff run.

Missing one key factor: SRS of champion vs competition on average.
Sure, beating a 5 SRS team in every round adds up to a monster title run... unless the team that won posted an SRS of 12. That in fact would be a relatively easy title run although the total SRS would be 20. Alternatively, a 2 SRS team beating a 5 SRS team in every round would be amazing. In every round you beat a team that was statistically better than you.
True, this is a big factor missing
I disagree ths level of competion they had to beat was just as hard in the end of the day because to shit teams like the 2020knicks face of against the 2020 chichago bulls and the knicks beat them in the finals and they beat teams like the hornets and etc even tho Knicks have a lower have SRS rating the competion was thecnically harder relative to the Knicks but was there championship really the hardest? Which it kinda is but I'd say that it is the most balanced championship competion
