NBA Career Trends Tool

Track how a player’s performance has moved over time, with visualizations you control. Compare up to five players at once, plot by game number, date, or age, and find the closest statistical comparables to any player you are looking at.

Plotting by age rather than by season is the useful trick here: it lines players up at the same stage of their career instead of the same calendar year, which is how you tell a late bloomer from a player who peaked early.

Every metric comes from the same graded database behind the rest of the site. We continue to add stats to this tool over time. If you want the reasoning behind the impact numbers you can plot, start with the LEBRON introduction.

Have a look around first. The demo below is this same tool running on a limited set of players and metrics, free to explore. A membership unlocks the full database, every metric, and every season, from $5 a month.
