I had a wonderful vacation last week! Topped it off by fulfilling a lifelong dream to skydive. Put that together with visiting family, tent camping, lake Michigan, hiking, a sculpture… https://t.co/dqibhAF9C3

@chrislehmann If our jerseys say Boston, we win this series. That non-flagrant foul call against Brown just showed the NBA was ready to move on.

[Raheem Palmer @iamrahstradamus]

In the modern NBA, that Jaylen Brown foul is a flagrant foul 10 out of 10 times. The refs basically hit the wrap it up button on this series.

@ChrisVernonShow @KevinOConnorNBA This is true.

@KellyInPhoenix Probably a box-and-whisker plot would tell a fascinating story because you'd see the outliers and upper/lower quartiles. I'm weirdly a huge fan of a box-and-whisker plot.

As a former math teacher, I love this discussion. I never trust ave bc it's easily skewed. I prefer median. Using https://t.co/TNB8St07Cu here are the median salaries.
K: $1,279,260.50
RB: $1,007,211.50
This is interesting but skewed bc there are over 2x as many RBs as Ks.

Math. Did Luke write this? We just discussed it…

If you average the salaries of 175 Running Backs and then average the salaries of 46 Kickers… the data is skewed.

Using the base salary of top 3 and the bottom 3 of each… RBs avg $5.5M and Kickers avg $2.2M.

You could also use percentages to be more accurate.

Running Backs:

58 (33%) out of the 175 make the base salary of $750K.

90 (51%) out of the 175 Running Backs will have a base salary of more than $900K this year.

67 (38%) will have a base salary of over $1M this year.

12 (7%) over $3M and 10 (6%) have a base salary over $4M.

Kickers:

16 (34%) make the base salary of $750K.

25 (54%) out of 46 have a base salary of over $1M.

7 (15%) out of 46 have a base salary over $3M.

However, zero percent of kickers have a base salary more than $4M… compared to 6% of running backs.

When you look at it this way- they both have about the same percentage of the number lowest paid base salaries (33% RB 34% K).

A higher percentage of kickers make more than $1M (54% K 38% RB).

That being said… the data shows that running backs have a much higher value at the “elite” level, leaving top kickers in the dust.

Bringing us back around full circle, showing that the average overall salary of a running back is higher than that of a kicker ($5.5M vs $2.2M)

Someone else in the comments said it would be more accurate using 10 player salaries, so I took the bottom 10 and the top 10 of each. (RB avg $4.5M K avg $1.9M).

And if I just took 10 total (5 top and 5 bottom)… RB avg $5.5M and kickers $2.2M. Which shows my math checks out.

Or maybe it doesn’t? There are so many different ways you could slice it. Also… I’m a writer, not a mathematician, but data does matter and it’s important to compare apples to apples.

@chrislehmann @sixers Yeah, I feel your pain. It's how I felt when Paul George asked out of Indy.

[Brett Clark @MrBrettClark]

@chrislehmann @sixers I have a feeling he'll be on a different team a year from now.

@amandacdykes @shareski @michellek107 Are you sure this picture isn't from this year? All 3 of you look the exact same.
