‘The Basketball 100’ GOAT Points: A new way to look at the greatest (players) of all time

“The Basketball 100” is a comprehensive ranking of the top 100 NBA players of all time, curated by a team of expert writers and analysts from The Athletic. Led by seasoned columnists David Aldridge and John Hollinger, this list aims to celebrate the greatest players in the history of the league. The book also includes a foreword by Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, adding an extra layer of prestige to this definitive ranking.

Ranking the best players in NBA history is no easy task, as it involves comparing players from different eras, positions, and roles. To aid in this daunting challenge, data analysis was used to refine the selection process. By considering factors such as MVP awards, All-NBA selections, and impact on championship teams, a framework was established to guide the ranking of these legendary players.

One key question that guided the selection process was whether a player was ever considered one of the top 10 or top 5 players in the league during their career. Achievements such as MVP awards, First Team All-NBA selections, and Finals MVP honors were given significant weight in determining a player’s placement on the list. Additionally, factors like longevity, postseason performance, and impact beyond statistics were also taken into account.

The introduction of a points system called GOAT points helped quantify a player’s career achievements and contributions. This system rewarded excellence while also considering longevity and impact on the game. By assigning points for MVP vote shares, All-NBA selections, Finals MVP awards, All-Star appearances, and advanced statistics, a comprehensive view of a player’s career was established.

The top 100 players in NBA history were then ranked based on their GOAT points, with LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar leading the pack. Each player’s unique contributions to the game were highlighted, showcasing their individual greatness and impact on the sport.

In conclusion, “The Basketball 100” serves as a tribute to the greatest players to ever grace the NBA hardwood. Through a meticulous selection process and the use of data analysis, this book honors the legacies of these iconic athletes and provides fans with a comprehensive look at the history of the game. Whether you’re a die-hard basketball enthusiast or a casual fan, this definitive ranking is sure to spark debates and discussions about the best players to ever play the game.
