Jimmy Butler III
Each selected season is compared head-to-head with every other; seasons earn points from those matchups. This is not a single universal “best season” score.
· 2016-17 and 2020-21 are separated by very little pairwise evidence.
· Pairwise wins among eligible seasons form a cycle. The Copeland order is shown, but seasons are closely contested. Inspect the matrix.
