    Default GOAT Ranking Formula

    I am tired of stans and haters making arbitrary GOAT rankings to fit their agenda so I have come up with a formula to determine a player's range in the GOAT list. Longevity/career accomplishments(includes total points, all star selections, all NBA teams, all NBA defensive teams, NBA titles, finals MVPs, etc.)
    + Peak Play (self explanatory)= sum divided by 2 +/- 1
    = Goat range.

    Example: Kobe longevity/career(3rd all time) + Peak Play (11th all time)= 14/2= 7+/-1= 6-8 best player of all time.

    I don't have any alternative accounts. I think my formula is a fair way to rank players.

    I'm sorry this isn't going to work, most NBA fans can't do math.

    Too simplistic. Plus regular season MVP depends on the whims of the media. Nash has 2. Shaq and Kobe has 1 each. Also where is Bill Russell in your rankings? Kobe isn't 3rd/4th because his peak play ranking is too low. You have to account for peak play.

    Hard to blame him for that. Pop took the ball out of his hands and gave Tony the lead that year. Even still, Duncan went nuts that series. He literally played well every game. His worst was probably his 12/16/4 gm..and then he has a large triple double in the closeout game. Just very difficult to ask for more than that from a past prime Duncan (think Shaq on '06 Miami).

    LOL. This is a simple formula. Longevity/Career accomplishments ranking + Peak Play ranking = Sum divided by 2 = ranking then add 1 and subtract one for the range.
