Jokic's recalculated score, just after Denver won the title: 1 championship = +2 points 1 finals MVP = +10.5 points 2 MVPs (previously had 1) + 7.5 points (for a total of 18 points) 6.64 assists per game = +1 point (since Lillard's average is now 6.70) WS/48: .2474 = +17 points PER: 27.7 = +19 points Shot making = ?? Impact and influence = ?? This gives him a total of 67.5, putting him in 13th overall If you give him a few points for shot making and impact/influence, then he could be as high as 10th overall. He would also gain 10+ points if we used total rebound percentage (TRB%) instead of total rebounds (a lot of the top rebounders played in an era where pace was much higher and shooting percentages were much lower, so there were waaaaay more rebounds to go around)...Jokic ranks 13th all-time in TRB% (and only behind Moses Malone, Dwight Howard and Joel Embiid amongst players on the top 110 list) since they began tracking it in 1970. He ranks ahead of Wes Unseld (5th highest RPG all-time) in TRB% -- who played all but 2 seasons after 1970. Using this criteria, he might gain 10-15 points, which would easily put him in the top 10 (according to this criteria)

*Positives:* The whole damn project. Lotta work. Also, love the shout-outs to Moses Malone and Buck's-era Kareem. Highlighting Robinson's productivity was great (love Hakeem, but I'm always reminding people that Robinson was VERY similar in most stats). Whatever the minuses, overall this was really interesting, and I'm sure a lot of work. Thanks! *Minuses:* 1. Your two subjective lists have... um... problems. For Impact, Kobe was more impactful/influential than Curry, Russell, Chamberlain, Dr. J, and Magic? Come on now. And shouldn't Magic & Bird be joined at the hip when it comes to impact and influence, but Bird doesn't even make the list? (If you're including Magic's social impact for how he handled his HIV diagnosis, then he should be #1 hands down!) And as for "Shot Making", not only do you have Kobe over Jordan, but you have Kobe #1 and Jordan #13... when they're the damn same player in the sense of being a "shot maker" (and Jordan, although 1% less on 3PT%, was 4% more efficient overall.) The "Shot Making" list is just strange for all kinds of reasons (Ex: Are distance shooters "shot makers" because they can easily "create" by shooting from far away? And Kyrie #11? Over Wade and Jordan and Ice? No. And Vince Carter makes it, but A.I. doesn't? And again, Kyrie is #11, but A.I. ain't even on the list! And wasn't Wilt pretty good at making a shot? What about the logo? Legend has it that Elgin Baylor was pretty good too.) 2. The points given by rank are a little suspect. Ten All-NBA Teams gets you 1 point, but 11 All-NBA Teams gets you 8 points? And I assume 9 selections gets you nothing. Wes Unseld - who I checked to make sure he got his proper love - actually got too much love by your system. Players who had 7, 8, or 9 All-NBA selections should've be given something for that, to separate them from players like Unseld, who wasn't nearly so dominant for so long. 3. You triply messed up Wes Unseld's points (neglected his Final's MVP, didn't include his photo among the Championships, and incorrectly computed his score even given those two mistakes. This makes me wonder... did you do this by hand? I assume you used a spreadsheet, but if done by hand, then - _Holy Hell dude_ - that's WAAAY above and beyond.) 4. Ice Ice Baby! Under Shot Making, you put George Gervin #18. LOL Players in NBA history with 4 scoring titles in 5 years: Durant, Jordan, Gervin, Chamberlain. And Allen Iverson is the only other player to get 4 scoring titles total. And... Gervin spent his first 4 years in the ABA before the merger, so who knows if he might have had even more? And, for a wing, his career 2 PT % of 512 is, um... pretty good, eh? That SOB seemingly never missed. He's underappreciated.

[@michaelbell2564]

A lot of facts here

[@JoeHardacre]

I think the subjective lists threw this thing off massively. Kobe got 29 points from 'shot making' and 'influence', which pretty much cemented him top 5 instead of 7/8. How does Lebron not get a single point for shot making when he's pretty much the best player ever at driving and finishing at the rim (and has better efficiency than Kobe). Also the recency bias is insane. Luka ahead of Scottie Pippen? Lilliard is the 50th best player ever? Why? Because he shoots 3s efficiently?

MJ is 1, Wilt at 2 but then there is a massive statistical drop off to Elgin Baylor at 3 however the increments for the points system was unchanged. I think that in this case, Baylor should've received less OR Wilt and Jordan should've receiver more points due to the margin in the stat.

How can you not rank Larry Bird on the Impact and Influence list. He and Magic literally saved the NBA and made it relevant again. They should be at or near the top together

Larry bird not being too 10 is a crime, he is one of the only people to win MVP 3 years in a row.

[@sidjones16]

True, but that's a made up stat so it depends on what he meant. Based on who made the list it was about style. Basically how many ppl copied your game/how you altered the game. Kobe should be nowhere near this list. Magic: someone over 6'3 being the primary ballhandler. Elgin/Dr.J, Jordan: high-flying elite scorer/ dunker Oscar: jack of all trades/positionless player Mikan: big man focused offense Russell: defensive anchor/ fast break Steph: obsession with long distance 3/ court spacing Wilt: pace, defense, size of the court, how the game is played. Iverson: streetball influence/ not calling palming

One big criticism I have: To determine the greatest Peaks, you solely looked at Win Shares, which is an awful way to to determine peak, because it heavily punishes players, who play fewer minutes/games, especially modern players (even worse for guards, because Big Men always score higher on these kind of impact metrics) This focus on total win shares is the reason your list would make it seem that stockton has a higher peak than Giannis and Curry, which isn't reflective of the reality at all. And that's not only obvious to the eye-test but also to the stats: Giannis and Curry would put Stockton in the dumpster if you look at WS/48. This is also the reason Wilt tops this list, as he played basically 48 mpg in those peak seasons, even though LeBron and MJ are way ahead of him in WS/48. Also I believe looking at a 5 year window for "peak" is really over the top. A lot of players, even among all time greats, dont have real peaks that long. If this is really about their absolute peak, I think 3 years - perhaps 4 MAXIMUM - is more realistic. 5 years punishes players who had their peak shortened or disprupted by injury very heavily. Chanching these criteria would defenitely make the list more accurate. Curry for example, who obviously has on of the greatest peaks of all time(shoutout to Thinking Basketball) would pretty comfortably land near the end of the top 10, instead of not being in the top 20 at all.

[@pancakesbf2704]

I hate to say it, but it’s not about potential, it’s about what actually happened. Sure injuries suck, but there have been many players that have had potential before being injured that are no where near the top, so the 5 year peak is still valid

[@pancakesbf2704]

Plus, 5 year peak shows consistency, a very important thing

Plus, if you look at the number of Modern NBA players you’ll see it’s pretty fair. Plus, he did say it’s bound to change

Bill russell is grrat at winning, but we need to acknowledge his individual stat, and gow many hall of famers he play with. He is like the exact opposite of wilt. Great stat, less win.

[@justinpelkey6722]

Wilt got into the league in 1959. The All-Defensive Team wasn't even invented until 1968 when Wilt was 32. Wilt made two all-defensive teams by the book, but he would've made it every year or nearly every year of his prime. Same with Bill Russell. The problem with ranking players this way, is that not all of these awards and accolades existed for all of these players. Immediately puts older players at a serious disadvantage.

[@tyjohnson3111]

100%. Same goes with DPOY pre-merger.

[@DireDepiction]

But then do you bring into account that the league was nowhere near as competitive and discount their accolades because of this? Put Russell the league now and he is an all time great defender and team leader (but if you think he 8-peats on chips and wins 11 of 13 of his seasons, you're out of your mind) Russell and Wilt had their unique benefits from their era for sure.

In a similar way but with more rubrics I can see how these stats and point system can lead to a clear best player over all. To me it is legit.

[@fernandobarreiro6152]

This is far from "pure stats", these are "some stats" chosen by Jimmy, giving them a random value that he considers right and avoiding other important stats altogether. - Why not counting blocks per game or steals per game? - Why not taking into account field goal percentage? Is that not an important stat? - Why first team All-NBA counts as much as third team? Specially when third team All-NBA is a recent addition and many players from the past would have quite a few more All NBA teams if there was a third team All-NBA back in the day. these are just some examples, but there are a lot more. This list is just pure opinion, like all others. And the fact that Rajon Rondo is included is just a joke :D
