Ballot Point
It should be noted that I didn't vote for the first several years and missed the late 90s. Also my criteria has been influence by others and some of my early votes would probably be different. My mind is rarely certain on these votes and would be different even if my criteria remained fully the same. A large part of this is splitting hairs. Finally, RPOY =/= best player for me. It is obviously a large component but that is not all I'm voting on.

Top-5 by position:

PF: Duncan, Malone, Barkley, Garnett, Dirk

SG: Jordan, Bryant, Wade, Drexler, McGrady
PG: Magic, Nash, Payton, Paul, Thomas


Note 1: As I'm writing this at the end of the 2000s, I think this is pretty accurate. Duncan had sustained excellence. Garnett was great, and occasionally transcendent. Kobe was great throughout. Shaq started strong but tapered off as the decade progressed. Nash had a couple fantastic years. Lebron and Wade are in prime position to get tons of votes in the '10s. Dirk has been a top-10 player most of the decade, but lack of playoff success has hurt him.

Note 2: And at the conclusion of the '87-'88 season (I'm out most of next week, see ballots above. Doctor MJ has my comments), Jordan has taken a commanding lead over Shaq. I can see how MVP voters got tired of voting for him, Lord knows I am, but he deserves it. I can't justify anyone else over him in the years I voted him first... which is pretty much every year he's played so far. I'm sure that'll change in the next couple years, but there it is. Jordan's at #1 easily right now. Malone is at 4 and probably won't be getting 10 points from me, so he's below Duncan and above Garnett, which I'm fine with. Olajuwon is at 6, and only 3 behind Garnett; I wouldn't be surprised if KG is leapfrogged. Kobe's ahead of Magic, but that'll change soon. Nash, Robinson, and Barkley are all tied right now--MVP caliber players who will always be seen as falling short.

My criteria was essentially "basketball player who gives a team the best chance of winning a championship" that season. Injuries mattered only if they were of considerable length or at a considerable time (eg missing the postseason). The playoffs typically mattered more, but to what degree, if at all, depended on sample size and circumstance.

The totals above are after the 1980 season, and I plan on leaving them and having a separate tally below. I've always drawn a line in the sand in 1980 -- the 3-point era -- and for the purposes of this project will do so again here. Only a small group of players even overlap (Kareem, Erving, Moses, Gervin, Marques Johnson).

There are a few things important to note about these numbers. First, the scoring simply mirrors MVP balloting used for the project (10-7-5-3-1) and assumes that relationship between players. In reality, there is not equal value between votes: an all-time No. 1 season and a No. 1 vote in a very weak year aren't qualitatively the same, but they are both counted as 10 points.

Second, an extension of the first point: competition matters. A lot. There are some players who could have had a string of top 5 finishes in the early 80s only never to make a ballot in the early 90s.

Third, environment matters. While I consider 1980-present the "modern" NBA and think there were considerably fewer changes in the game that from 1950-1980, it's still worth noting that some players benefitted or were hurt by some of those changes. The 3-point shot wasn't part of the game for a number of years. Isolation wasn't big part of the game in the early 80s. Defensive schemes were relatively simple -- there was really a defensive explosion starting in the late 80s with the Pistons.

Finally, rules affected certain individuals differently, for eg perimeter players were aided by the 2005 enforcement of perimeter contact.

Such a long list of balloting results. Guys I think it requires a lot of effort to decide who is best and who is not. Really its time consuming work but no doubt very interesting.

Yeah, that's why we've been doing this for almost five months now. Each one of those ballots represents 3-5 days of work, and we don't even have a full list up there.
