The NBA’s matchup counts: possessions one man guarded another, and the points and shots that came of them. Usual is a scorer’s rate on everyone else who guarded him in the same years. Ranked with 250 possessions or more, about four full games of one man on the other, and a long record counts for more than a short one.
