Hope everyone enjoys this, and i might make another thread like this soon, so maybe leave suggestions for players (any era)
(any era)
Letās start off with Shawn Marion, who was a 2x All NBA player and 4x All star. He was an important piece to the Suns success in the mid 2000s, with his great rebounding, defense and off ball ability.
From 2001 to 2007, he averaged 19.3 PPG, 10.4 RPG and 2 steals on good efficiency. During that time, the Suns ORTG went from 102.6 without him, to about 108 with him, and the NetRtg went from -1.9 to nearly 4.2. Very important player for the Phoenix Suns
Next up is Mr. Big Shot, Chauncey Billups. Billups was the 2004 Finals MVP, a 5x all star, 2x all defensive player, and 3x All NBA player. Although he spent time on many teams, his stretch in Detroit was very impressive.
From 2002 to 2008, Chauncey averaged 17 PPG and 6.3 APG on 59.2 TS% and 40% from 3. The Pistons had a 101.9 ORTG and 1.78 NetRtg without him, and with him a 109 ORTG and 7.8 NetRtg.

Next up is a big man from the mid to late 2000s era, Chris Bosh!
During his career, Bosh won 2 championships with Miami, and made 11x All Star teams in just 13 years. But itās his time in Toronto Iāll be highlighting today.

From 2005 to 2010, Bosh averaged 22.8 PPG and 9.9 RPG on 58.2 TS%. During that stretch, he shot 46% from 16ft-3pt line, which is on par with Kevin Garnett from 2004 to 2008. And in 2008 he shot nearly 4% above leave average 3pt%

Last but not least, is just a single season but a very good one. Marc Gasolās 2013 DPOY season.
During that year Marc averaged 14-8-4 on good efficiency. This doesnāt look like anything spectacular, but he was arguably the best defender in the league that season and had huge impact on the Grizzlies. The top row is Memphis with him that year + bottom is the team without him
This is the end of the thread, and I hope everyone enjoyed it.
