Jacobson comes in right behind Jackson, and although the differences are slight, they are noticeable. Nick shot 44-43-81 for his career; Jackson 46-44-84. Also, Jacobson had the benefit of four continuous years of play. Jackson NEVER played in consecutive seasons.

I might add that this thread is exactly why statistics don't always tell the whole story. They're good for a magazine takeout piece or short story, but never an entire book.

I think Jackson was a better defender too. For all his offensive heroics, Nick had lead feet on D.
