How it's measured. Every season of every player is measured against that year's league, never in absolute terms: in 1962 teams played 126 possessions a game, in 1999 eighty-nine.
No blocks or steals in the 70s? That's fine. When the stat didn't exist we don't put a zero: the weight is spread across what is known, and the ring on the right tells you how much of each player could be measured.
