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.
The season chip above measures Rik Smits'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.
Partially measured: only 75% of this career fell inside a ratable peer pool, so the figure covers the measurable seasons (1989–1997) only.
