My (mostly) troll proof ISH top 10 (already calculated)

[ShackEelOKneel]

Scoring was based on these top 10 lists by ISH posters: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=350073

The method was to take the top person from each person's list and count it as a vote. If that person's top person has already been elected to ISH ranking list, then their next choice is used as a vote. This method prevented making it a 1 on 1 match where posters were voting against players rather than simply voting for their actual selection. A few trolls continued putting their votes in, but it made no impact since they didn

[ShackEelOKneel]

I also took the liberties to calculate the list in a point system way, with #1 selections equaling 10 points, #2 equaling 9, and continuing until #10 equaling 1 point. This system is more likely to be influenced by people having agendas or alts (Examples: 1 poster put Kobe #1, 1 poster put LeBron #1, 1 poster had 9 posts in 2 years, and 1 poster had 28 posts in 4 years). Because of that I calculated the points twice, once including those obvious agenda and alt posters, and once without their votes. Either way, the ranking came out the same.

Here were the results (points in the parenthesis were including the obvious alts and agendas)

1 Michael Jordan = 317 (345)
2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar = 301 (326)
3 Bill Russell = 251 (271)
4 Magic Johnson = 196.5 (216.5)
5 Wilt Chamberlain = 181 (206)
6 Larry Bird = 164.5 (181.5)
7 Tim Duncan = 150.5 (164.5)
8 Shaquille O’Neal = 134 (157)
9 Kobe Bryant = 77 (90)
10 Hakeem Olajuwon = 41.5 (50.5)
11 LeBron James = 37 (48)
12 Oscar = 2 (4)
13 Durant = 0 (1)
13 West = 0(1)

As you can see the order was mostly the same with the only tweak from the other ranking is switching Wilt and Magic at #4 and #5.

[Magic731]

I think that's a great list.

[Myth]

Looks pretty accurate.

[Angel Face]

For a guy who dunk on kids, you did pretty good.

[ImKobe]

Pretty accurate IMO

[russwest0]

Looks like one of the better lists yet.

[Dragic4Life]

Whack list, Lebron not in top 10.:facepalm

[dunksby]

Still time to vote? I wanted to participate but didn't find the time.

[ImKobe]

Whack list, Lebron not in top 10.:facepalm

Everytone in the top 10 has at least a winning record in the Finals. Lebron doesn't.

[JohnFreeman]

Kobe ain't top 10

[raprap]

Whack list, Lebron not in top 10.:facepalm

Great algorithm. U deserve an award

I won't be doing any re-dos because it defeats the point of people not knowing I was going to tally votes off lists. My main goal was to find a way to get a general consensus without ISH knowing I was going to tally.

Wilt is 2/6

duncan carried to that 7th spot just like he was carried from 03 onward. wilt shouldnt even be on here

[T_L_P]

Good list. Will rep, OP. :applause:

[T_L_P]

Then why would Kobe be? Carried to his first three, then Gasol comes along and takes the reigns.

Kobe himself dreads Duncan getting more rings. He knows that was his only leverage. :oldlol:

Your shitty rep does nothing.:oldlol:

And 24 hours is a short time.

[ShackEelOKneel]

And 24 hours is a short time.

I would have let it go if it was continuously active, but it had slipped all the way to page 3 so I assumed people were done with it.

[Lebronxrings]

this is almost as bad as russwests list.

Dude wtf

[Asukal]

Bad list. Wilt in top 5. :oldlol:

[russwest0]

And people questioned me saying that people only voted at LeBron at #10 to try and troll me after they thought I "rigged" the vote selection for #9

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Good shit OP.

It's cool it's your poll but, since your calculations, around 15 new lists have been submitted.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I'd switch magic and Larry and Shaq and Kobe.

[rule1223]

no way shaq or duncan are higher than kobe

[no pun intended]

Looks accurate.

[ShackEelOKneel]

It's cool it's your poll but, since your calculations, around 15 new lists have been submitted.

Yeah, they were added because of this thread, and I haven't looked them over, but I imagine some were trying to intentionally sway things knowing they were now used for generating the list in the OP.

Yep, just looked them over and there are certainly more ridiculous lists after this thread was posted.

[Rolando]

Very reasonable list. Only homers and stans will have problems with it.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Decent...Everyone is within 3-4 spots of where i'd put them
