Appreciate the current stats, clickable columns, etc.

Looking around these questions come to mind:

Are team 4 factors year to year gone as a space choice or for another reason or will they return?

Will the year to year league average stat page return or is it somewhere that I don't see?

Have the similarity scores been scrapped?

The similarity scores will return. Four factors may or may not return.

I beefed up the player game logs and game log finder today. First, I added age in years and days to the game logs (e.g., LeBron James). LeBron was 23 years and 18 days old last night. :-)

I also added the ability to search by age through the game logs. For example, here's a list of all teenagers who have scored 30 or more points in a game since 1986-87.

There might still be some bugs with this, so please let me know if something funky happens when you do a search.

In the game logs, the minutes played are being shown like 4349 rather than 43:49. Unless Antawn Jamison opened the season by playing 4,349 minutes against Indy. Smile

As an aside: What's the best way to format that minutes field in Excel so that I can do stuff like calculate per minute stats?

It seems to happen when I click on the PRE button. Here are a couple examples:

A suggestion, if you have time/ability:

On the "players" pages, in which all players are listed alphabetically, is it possible to list each player's vital stats - position, height, weight, birthday/birthplace, high school and/or college - on that page?

The difference between a players usage rate in Hollingers page and yours is always around 2

For example:

Ray Allen

Hollinger:
03-04: 25.6
04-05: 26.2
05-06: 25.3
06-07: 27.3
07-08: 20.3

B-R:
03-04: 27.8
04-05: 28.0
05-06: 27.4
06-07: 29.5
07-08: 22.1

Come to think about it, the turnover ratios are also different, whats odd is despite these differences both show around the same PER. I dont recall them being different before the update, please look into this if you can.

I rely heavily on your site for players pre-2000, so accurate data is really important for me.
