While basketball games are won on the scoreboard, it is the players on the court who either post these points or prevent them from occurring.
In the NBA, every player's potency is measured by plus-minus, a metric that tracks the change in score when said player is on the hardwood.
Naturally, players with a plus score are more valuable to their team and the unit's effort, while those in the negative must work on their games at either end of the floor.
