Box impact estimates points per 100 possessions above each season's league average. Higher is better. Career ranks and average league finishes work the other way: lower is better.
Career Impact Rank places Mark Jackson #229 and Andre Miller #276. It combines league finishes across each player's best three, five, and ten regular seasons, giving the most weight to the best three. Andre Miller had the higher single-season impact estimate.
Regular season only. Impact figures are estimates; small gaps are not exact. Playoffs, awards and titles do not determine the verdict.
Only the three league-finish windows below determine Career Impact Rank. Career Value and peak impact are separate measures; neither adds points to this calculation. Lower composite scores rank higher.

Start with impact, then compare playing time and skills. Team results add context. These are not categories to tally into a winner.
1 · Ranking evidence
Career Impact Rank compares entire regular-season careers across NBA history. It combines average league places across the best three, five, and ten seasons, weighted 50%, 30%, and 20%. A lower rank or average place is better.

2 · Playing time and responsibility
Read games and minutes alongside impact. Offensive usage is the share of team plays a player ends with a shot, free throws, or a turnover while on court. More usage is not automatically better.

| Games | 1,304 | 1,296 |
| Minutes | 40,268 | 39,121 |
3 · Individual skills
These are each player's averages across up to ten best seasons. Career Impact Rank gives the Best 3, Best 5, and Best 10 average league finishes 50%, 30%, and 20% window weights, giving the most weight to the highest peak. The model accounts for position, role, pace, playing time, and team results. Green marks the better result for a metric, including lower turnover rates. Workload and shot-selection measures stay neutral. These rows are not votes toward the ranking.
True shooting includes two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws.

4 · Team context, not ranking inputs
A verified with/without comparison is unavailable for this scope. We do not substitute another season’s observations.
Four separate questions
These are different ways to understand a career. Only Regular Season Impact determines the hussEyquation verdict. The other three sections add basketball context without adding points or changing the rank.
Mark Jackson ranks higher in career impact.
This is the ranking result. It uses regular-season impact only. Team records, playoffs, and awards do not change it.
The advantages are split across the available measures.
Context only. Not included in Career Impact Rank. Final records for every listed team-season. A traded season can include more than one team.
Mark Jackson leads every available measure below.
Context only. Not included in Career Impact Rank. Team playoff results count only seasons when the player appeared in a playoff game.
No recorded measure separates these careers.

Follow every regular season by NBA experience or age. This view describes the path; it does not create another verdict.
Estimated points per 100 possessions above that season's league average
Striped bars mark seasons with fewer than 40 games. A dashed mark means that player had no season at the aligned point.
Every observed season keeps its age, era-centered impact estimate, league rank when qualified, career-stage label, and exact evidence link. A missing career point stays missing.
Observed values come from the accepted season comparison record. Historical source qualifications stay attached to affected seasons. Missing means no NBA season exists at that aligned point; it is never interpolated. Missing is not the same as estimated.
