THIS IS NOT AN ALL TIME LIST

I tend to avoid ranking players I didn’t see in real time. This list will not include Wilt, Russell, West, and Dr. J.

My focus will be from about 1986 to 2019.

 

I WILL NOT INCLUDE SOME GUYS I DID SEE PLAY

I witnessed Jabbar, Moses, Dantley, and others that I will not factor in. I only want to rate players I saw enough of, and at their very best.

 

I’M COMPARING ACTIVE AND RETIRED PLAYERS IN THE SAME GROUP

In most cases, the active guys have a chance to keep climbing the list.
