Alright guys, I've noticed that these days everybody wants to rank the NBA Players based on all time rank. I figured out a way to do it thats fair. It's based on a number of criteria that I think determines a rank. I've done one person (My favorite player) Kareem Abdul Jabbar at the bottom as an example. Lets all do a player and figure out the top 10 or 20. No per or other advanced stats are equated. Its obvious that some categories are left out, but I couldn't list all of them or I'd be here all day. This isn't a definitive list, it's just research I'm done for a Statistics Class. The players with the most points would be the best in that order. Please enjoy!

I got 320pts with Kareem as opposed to 30 points for Derek Fisher. So no Fisher isn't better than lebron because he has 5 les

I have a better system, here is the point system:

1 point = for each MVP, Finals MVP, NBA championship, or 1st Team All-NBA

1/2 point = 2nd place MVP voting, NBA FInals loser, 2nd Team All-NBA

1/3 point = 3rd plave MVP, 3rd Team All-NBA

1/4 point = 4th place MVP, all-star selection (w/ out making All-NBA team), conference finals participant

For ABA (or BAA), count all points 1/2 of what you get in the NBA

For NCAA, using equivalnet awards as in NBA and count at 1/2 as well.

Example: Tim Duncan

2 MVPs = 2 points
2 second place = 1 point
1 third place = 1/3 point
1 fourth place = 1/4 point

subtotal = 2 7/12 points

3 Finals MVPs = 3 points
1 second place = 1/2 point

subtotal = 3 1/2 points

4 rings = 4 points
3 conference finals = 3/4 point

subtotal = 4 3/4 points

9 first team all-NBA = 9 points
3 second team all-NBA = 1 1/2 points
1 third team all-NBA = 1/3 point
2 all-star = 1/2 point

subtotal = 11 1/3 points

NCAA

1997 POY = 1/2 point
twice 1st team all-American = 1 point
once 3rd team all-Americam = 1/6 point

subtotal = 2 2/3 points

GRAND TOTAL = 23 5/6 points

I have not done all the math, but I believe Timmy rank about 5th of all time under this system.

Probably Jabbar 1st, then Jordan, then Russell, then either Magic or Timmy, with Bird and Bob Cousy on their heals and Wilt and Shaq, Kobe, Lebron not that far behind. Other high placers would be Elgin Baylor, Hondo, Mailman, Olajuwon, BobPet , West, Oscar.

This is the best simple point sytem ever devised by mankind, by the genius Galileo, fabled mathematician, astronomy and scientist.

OOPS - I forgot to facter in Olympic ball, but you get the picture.

Duncan isn't ahead of wilt man. Wilts stats, feats and records overtake Duncan. That's why I put that there. To recognize players that did extraordinary things.

I'm going to tweak the system based on suggestions and also do a list based on the criteria
