I added the every other season comparing LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

Browse Source 
I finished the project and am very happy with the results.  It was very interesting to see that LeBron James was better than Kevin Durant.  I am proud that I was able to find a list of the best offensive and defensive players in the NBA.  Overall, this project was fun and will definitely make me think about LeBron James and Kevin Durant differently.

"I found that the best defensive player from 2014-2022 was Draymond Green. This makes sense as he has won the Defensive Player Of The Year award and is known primarily for his defense. He is known as one of the best defensive players in the league. I am not surprised to see Draymond Green be the number one ranked defensive player. The three next best defensive players are Anthony Davis, Joakim Noah, and Paul George. These players are also known for their defense, so it makes sense that they are rated so highly. It is interesting to note that 4 of the top 5 players are Power Forwards or Centers which also shows that this could lead to research on whether Power Forwards and Centers generally play the best defense."
