Stadium, market-population, title and handle data are curated public facts (Wikipedia/Census/official league facts). Fan Interest, Barometer and reach tier are transparently derived from those facts — weighted (market 0.4, venue 0.2, titles 0.25, heritage 0.15), min-max within NBA — derived structural proxy, not a survey. No fan survey, sentiment scrape, or follower count is used.

+6 more rooms with a shorter average hold.

Room tenures, not starting jobs — the corpus has no per-season depth chart, so holders can overlap (a successor often arrives before his predecessor leaves) and the measure is how often the room changed hands. A holder is a player who produced real value for this club during his years here, which is what separates holding the room from being on the roster. Detected from per-season VAL (1977–2026 here; league coverage is complete from 1999) — rooms the corpus cannot value are not shown.

Franchise Mt. Rushmore

Four franchise-defining careers: VAL weighted by attributed tenure share, with a bounded bump for verified Hall of Fame and recorded award evidence.

182 player-season slots overlap another club's recorded span and are credited to neither (28.8% of considered span evidence).

Monument Timeline — who held it, season by season

19502026 · 3 handoffs

The holder in a season is the player with the most accumulated era-adjusted value (VAL) across attributed franchise seasons through that year — whole seasons only, never a depth-chart claim. A claim needs 3+ attributed seasons; unsettled through 1978. Relocated eras carry forward with the franchise.
