There are many different ways you could rank the top 5 NBA players- by what they showed the crowd, by raw talent, by how much they won throughout their career, and many more ways. The way I am going to rank mine is statistically.

My formula is add total PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, BPG, then subtract TOPG.

Basically, we're looking for the best all-time fantasy players.

Okay, so let's see here, first I will tell you the statistical breakdown, then I will give you the rankings:

Julius Erving: 37.2 Total Points-

24.2 PPG

8.5 RPG

4.2 APG

2.0 SPG

1.7 SPG

3.4 TOPG

Larry Bird: 40.3 Total Points

24.3 PPG

10.0 RPG

6.3 APG

0.8 BPG

1.7 SPG

3.1 TOPG

Wilt Chamberlain: 57.4 Total Points

30.1 PPG

22.9 RPG

4.4 APG

No BPG, SPG, or TOPG recorded in his record.

Michael Jordan: 42

30.1 PPG

6.2 RPG

5.2 APG

0.8 BPG

2.3 SPG

2.7 TOPG

Magic Johnson: 36.1 Total Points

19.5 PPG

7.2 RPG

11.2 APG

0.2 BPG

1.9 SPG

3.9 TOPG

Rankings:

1. Wilt Chamberlain

2. Michael Jordan

3. Larry Bird

1- Jordan needs to be #1
2- Bill Russell needs to be on the list.

I think the formula needs tweaking, you did nothing with FG%, FT%, and the most important stat Wins/Championships.

good blog though,but I disagree with the rankings, you left out a lot of great players.
