Of course it's editorial.

“…best” is not a “fact.” The individual stats are facts. Certain metrics may be facts, but they still have to be factored into context, and the context and evaluation of that is still subjective. Just the ‘fact’ that you chose “two” metrics makes it subjective. Just the fact that you chose “on a per minute basis” makes it subjective. Cherrypicking two metrics makes it editorializing.

If a walk on went 1 for 1 and a rebound in 30 seconds of action, he’d be the GOAT. "Per minute" is pretty irrelevant unless you can actually play enough minutes to create value. IMO.

I can't imagine anyone who watched our games could deem Naheem our second best player, even on a per minute basis. That could only reflect that person's skew, how that person weighted any number of many statistical categories. The next person would certainly have a different skew, and a different opinion. The word "best" is in and of itself subjective. It's like saying MJ was better than Wilt.
