oh no it’s almost 2024 and i’m still thinking about RAPM! people have been running RAPM models for like 20 yrs now. i think it’s mostly great, but it does get shit on quite a lot, often for “lacking context.” mostly, this is bullshit...

NBA play-by-play data can be infuriating! These are x, y coords of shots near the rim by season (1 unit = 0.1ft). Quite inconsistent throughout the years. 03-09: all shots are in center of basket! 10-13: yay diversity! 14-16: ??? back to dark ages 17-18: basket moved back???
