I think this is an interesting feature, but ofc it has it's faults. For eg, even if there's a super player, he needs support and he can't destroy the opponent by himself. If the rest of the players are scrubs, the superstar's +/- could be negative. So +/- value could certainly depend on the other players too.

Fair enough, that's a good point. I guess that is another way of using +/-. But I'm just saying that if other players aren't very good, the contribution of the star player is not as evident from +/-. But anyhow, I like what you have pointed out. One ball for you.

I do not understand this +/- "stats". Last match did one of my SF play 17 minutes and the other SF 31 minutes. These two players stayed together 48 minutes on the field. The one got +20 the other +31. That means according to the rules that the team scored 52 points (or 52 times ball in the basket?). My team scored 126 points. Is the meaning of these +/- to show that my team scored 51 points more than my opponent while these players played. And what good do I have of knowing this?

Yes, at its basics, and in BB, +/- tracks individual player point differential. For every point your team scores, your players on the court earn a plus and for every point the opponent scores, your players earn a minus.

It was originally a hockey stat and I think it's best served there, but it's okay for basketball I guess.

Why 52?

We know as Mats Zuccarello Aasen, - but understand well that he skipped the last surname over there. He's a great, little man!

Okay, now that we have this stat up and running and we all get what it means, let's see who's posted the highest +/- stat line so far...

In a Cup game, Roger Holm just posted a +90. (32317669) That almost seems impossible, but maybe someone has seen better?

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
