The leaders in the top 5, overall and active, bounce around a little bit, but Kobe Bryant goes from a low I have seen of about 1400 (Derek Fisher was ahead of him) to over 2200. Today alone Kobe has dropped 200 points.
Ratings in bold, it's a mathematical probability formula, developed for chess rankings by a professional statistician. It can be used in any game or sport.
To back up my thread title:
53 Vince Carter 1966 9158 4745 4413 .518 June 23, 2011, 3:52PM
64 Manu Ginobili 1929 9323 4880 4443 .523 June 23, 2011, 3:52PM
74 Pau Gasol 1832 9778 5101 4677 .522 June 23, 2011, 3:58PM
86 Kobe Bryant 1771 15484 9056 6428 .585 June 23, 2011, 4:17PM
Honestly, I think someone has hacked into the database to get Kobe paired up often, then vote against him. The number after the bold is the number of simulations that player has had, and Kobe is way ahead of everyone. Or maybe they did it on purpose. A few very popular players have high simulation matchup totals. I have seen duplicate matchups come up and when I vote the same way again, it doesn't tally it, so they have some ways to keep bias out.
There are a lot of great players from the 60's and 70's that are ranked too low. Probably most of the voters never heard of them before, although stats are given to help you out. There is an option to skip a matchup if you choose.
Anyway, it's a good, fun, time-waster, enjoy it.
