I am doing a project at school where I am attempting to create an entirely objective Top 75 list of NBA greats, in order to do this I need to name my criteria and weight them, if you could take this survey that would really help me out.
How good they are. Absolutely nothing else.
No bullshit platitudes, no “clutch gene”, no “legacy” bullshit, just how good are you at making sure your team’s number on the scoreboard is higher than the other team’s.
Funny nicknames… If Pooh Richardson and Bad-Porn Maggette aren’t at the top of your rankings, you gotta do’em over.
Personally I’m a big fan of the eye test and I really only watch my own teams, so then I use that limited knowledge gained by watching opposing players twice a year to ultimately making my rankings. Anthony Edwards is the best player in the NBA.
Cringey narratives , statpadding and how much they whine about not getting it.
