My statement

"
There is not that much data to off from LeBron as he has only been going for 10 seasons compared to Shaq.

Looking at the small amount of data from LeBron’s graph it seems that there is a fairly constant long-term trend. This can be seen by the fact that in his first season the points were around 75 and at 10 seasons his points were also around 75. This might not be the case for the other 11 seasons because this is only a small amount. Shaq seems to show a somewhat constant trend but also might be slightly decreasing. This is shown because Shaqs points on his first season are close to 60 points and by the 21st season dropped to around 55 points.

There seems to be a lot more variation in terms of points earned for Shaqs seasons played over LeBron James. This is shown by the large spikes that increase and decrease over Shaq’s 21 seasons. Looking at Lebron’s graph there are not that many significant decreases and increases in the points earned other than 1 time at around season 6. This lack of variation could also be due to fact that there is not that much data on Lebron and if we have data going up to 21 seasons then we may start to see more variation.

Lebron seems to be getting more points than Shaq during the 10 seasons. For example, Shaq earned about 60 points during his first season whereas Lebron earned about 75 points"

You are doing well @Bruh! let us look at your statements:

  1. “There seems to be a lot more variation in terms of points earned for Shaqs seasons played over LeBron James.” Good statement, you compared two teams as you were asked. However, it would have helped to support your statement with the numbers, e.g. to say that LeBron scored between 70% and 78% (8% variation) and Shaq’s score varied between 42% and 62% (20%). Also your statement “Shaq seems to show a somewhat constant trend” is controversial to the one below it “There seems to be a lot more variation in terms of points earned for Shaqs”. Be careful!
  2. “Lebron seems to be getting more points than Shaq during the 10 seasons. For example, Shaq earned about 60 points during his first season whereas Lebron earned about 75 points” is an accurate statement. You don’t need to say “seems” as LeBron always scored more points for their first 10 seasons.

Don’t write too much. Make short statements with supporting numbers. Also, because you are asked to compare performance of the teams, write about one parameter for both teams in the same sentence. For example: Shaq’s best season is season 11 (62%) while LeBron’s best season is 6 (78%), Shaq’s worst season was 15 (42%) and Lebron’s was 4 (70%).
