The big takeaway from that article for me is that Stat audits are done in almost real-time now, making it much

The John Stockton homers on CB will be in crisis mode. His stats are all a lie

The fact that 3 of the 5 all time leaders in the major stats came from the 90s…

The award was still valid as all teams did the same thing during that era

^^^ Relative to others he played with that year, he was the best defender

LeBron James was the best defender in the NBA for like 15 years. And you clearly didn’t read the article

They cover that in the article and Jordan's seem even more inflated

When they rewatch all 82 games to verify his stats I will consider it more than just opinion

They watched 6 and Jordan got credited with 16 steals he didn’t actually get
