From my video library of past games, I have been slowly reconstructing NBA Stint Data for several seasons prior to the 1993 Season’s start of the Play-By-Play era of statistics tracking of NBA games. This is a lengthy effort in trying to give some insight to interactions between players, at least from a stint level. When the project is more complete, data will become more readily available. Until then, here is a
snapshot from the 1992-93 NBA season. Currently I have logged 282 of a possible 1107 games, which is a mere 25.47% completion.
In this post, we show the individual “plus-minus” in form of number of offensive possessions played, points scored by the offense, number of defensive possessions played, points scored by opponents, Offensive RAPM, Defensive RAPM, and Overall RAPM.
I will update periodically. Sampled records are found at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!

Hi Justin, I have a question for you.
Do you know anything about Knicks coaching tapes from the 1950s and the 1960s? I mean the ones that were edited out in this video for example:
twitter.com/NBAUK/status/1033043006927130624
I have a few of them in my collection, but it seems that the league’s collection is significantly bigger and it’s their main source of rare oldschool footage. I know that Ben got two full 1960s games from them for his Wilt video, but there is a lot more.
Have you ever heard about them? Do you know anyone who could give me more details? I want to work more on tracking old games and these seem to the best available source.
