Top 75 NBA Resumes All-Time Pt. 6
With the NBA having just wrapped up its 75th Season it was officially time of us to release our Top 75 Player list.
Proceed with Context: This list is a bit different than other lists you’ve probably read.
This is not just a ranking of the 75 Best players in NBA history. I’m sure you’ve seen many versions of that list. Rather than repeat that same exercise other sites have done we wanted to add a twist to our ranking.
Below is the Top 75 NBA Resumes over the past 75 years. We’ve looked at the major accomplishments of every key player in NBA history and created a formula that has weighed the resumes of each NBA Superstar.
NBA Championships, MVPs, All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams, along with statistical accomplishments in the major categories have been added together to give each player a Resume Score that can be used to compare them against other superstars across NBA history.
We believe this gives us a unique Top 75 list. It also shows us the amount of accomplishments an active player on this list needs to continue to climb the NBA Resume ladder. This list takes bias and the eye test out of the equation and focuses strictly on a players accolades.
I hope you enjoy the list, learn a little about each player, and use this list to spur debate with us and your friends!
