wow Vince Carter > John Stockton was pretty shocking

I think that's because the formula is based on an objective interpretation of numbers, whereas we know subjectively that John Stockton is 100% guaranteed to make the hall of fame because we know the voters will vote for him without doing this calculation first.

It's because the formula isn't perfect. Objectively, subjectively, metaphysically, or subconsciously Stockton was a better player than Vince.

Well, that's pretty much what I meant.

Love how they list 296 players each with a ranking of 0, then actually sorting them by rankings. Nice to know that Jim McIlvane is slightly more likely to be an HOFer than Manute Bol.

Too many obvious problems here. Steve Nash has been very, very good the last 3 or 4 years. His career as a whole doesn't put him near the top of this list, but there is no way I rank him behind most of the current/recent players ahead of him.

Sam Cassell: Good player, nice 3rd option. Not an MVP or HOF type player.

Glen Robinson: Completely overrated. Scorer who brings nothing else to a team.

Antoine Walker: You have to be kidding.

Stephon Marbury: Another product of David Stern's hype machine.

Gilbert Arenas: Another scorer who has yet to win big in the league. Granted, he hasn't been on many good teams, but still...

Grant Hill: An example of what could have been. Injuries robbed him of too much to be this highly considered.

Most of the others ahead of Nash I could at least understand, even if I didn't agree with a few of them. I'd at least consider them equal to Nash-status.

Dikembe deserves a lot better than 1.46% (#277). 2nd all-time in blocks!

Reggie's not a lock. It was a highly debated topic when he retired. I think he'll probably get in, and I agree with that decision.
