Elton Brand's 2006 season ranks among the most statistically extreme in NBA history — measured only against its own season and position-group peers (robust z, never blended across eras).
Elton Brand's 2006 season, re-projected onto the 2026 league — its within-era standing expressed in one modern currency (VAL), so it ranks beside today's best in NBA history.
Ranked against the single greatest era-translated seasons in every sport by z — robust standard deviations above Elton Brand's own era's positional peers, the one dominance measure comparable across the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB.
The season chip above measures Elton Brand's single best year. This measures the whole career: every rated season's standing against its own era's peers, summed. A season at the era median adds nothing and a below-median season subtracts — so this number is time spent above your era, not time served.

Players whose careers had the same shape — total value, peak, best three-season stretch, length and when the value came — measured with VAL against their own leagues.
Box scores, rosters, and draft data (2002+) come from sportsdataverse's hoopR release. College, international, and pre-2002 per-game rows are backfilled additively from Wikipedia.
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a NBA player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia.
