BIRTHDAY COHORT
Forget draft classes — who's the best player from the birth year of 1988? Birthday Cohort groups the APEX-era NBA by graduating class, ranked by peak score.
Data coverage: Only the 695 players with an APEX score in 2015-16 through 2024-25 appear here.
Older legends (Jordan, Bird, Magic, etc.) don't have APEX scores yet — their pre-APEX-era
teammates may show up in the "also born this year" list. Expanding coverage to earlier eras
would require historical APEX approximations.
