According to Hollinger, that is. Tim Duncan gets a couple of spots, I think his highest is 2003, which comes in at #3.

Tony Parker also gets a mention for his 2007 performance (#34) and David Robinson comes in at #32 for his 1999 performance.

It's odd that Ginobili didn't get a mention for the 2005 Finals. He was only a few MVP votes away from stealing that award from Duncan, and he was fuckin' nails in that series when it counted. Had some subpar games in Detroit, but so did Duncan. If the Spurs can get another championship I'd like to see Manu win MVP, because if that happens no one can say that Pop was only successful because of Tim (like they say about Phil only being good because of Jordan and Shaq).

Wade's free throw performance is way too high.

Wade's free throw performance is way too high.

I didn't see Hollinger list Wade at all in the top 50. I was a little confused because the first graphic has a list of the PER ratings, and Wade comes out as the "most efficient" playoff performance, which is interesting in and of itself. But Hollinger's list is different.

He's #1

Hooray for Karl Malone!! He's the highest ranked player to not win a title at #17. At least he has that.

Oh, I guess he is.

I agree, Wade is too high. His 2006 performance was impressive, but not better than some of the performances from Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem, and MJ.
