Please use PPG/Avg.

Those stats you listed, are reset every year.
81 we scored: 421/16= 26.3 ppg
88 we scored: 448/16= 28 ppg
21 we scored: 460/17= 27ppg

81 Def: 304/16= 19 ppg
88 Def: 329/16= 20.5 ppg
21 Def: 376/17= 22.1 ppg

so defense isn't quite as good as the previous 2 years, but offense is on par with them.

Sorry bro, but comparing just plain ppg between eras means absolutely nothing because rule changes have created an increase in scoring league-wide.

In '81 the average amount of points scored was 20.7
In '88 the average amount of points scored was 20.3
In '21 the average amount of points scored was 23.0

So if you really want to compare ppg, you need to do it as ppg vs the league average in order to adjust for era...

In which case
'81: +5.6
'88: +7.7
'21: +4.0

The '21 offense is not on par with the two SB offenses.
