Now that #1-10 have been voted for in a consensus sense, am curious to see people's personal 1-10s and how may they differ from the projects' results (no worries if participating or not).

I guess I can start:
1. LeBron James
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. Michael Jordan
4. Bill Russell
5. Hakeem Olajuwon
6. Tim Duncan
7. Wilt Chamberlain
8. Shaquille O'Neal
9. Magic Johnson
10. Kobe Bryant

By tier.

Russell/Jordan/Bird
Wilt/Duncan/Jabbar/James
Shaq/Hakeem/Magic

Curry/Jokic/Giannis/Luka (and a lifetime to go for Wemby, but since he is on a squad I’ll acknowledge him). These are the current guys that could challenge for a chance to crack into the top IMO.

Strong GOAT arguments:
1. Bill Russell
2. LeBron James

Next best GOAT argument:
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Slightly prefer him over the next group (honestly fine with arguments for most of those players above him):
4. Michael Jordan

Interchangable:
5. Kevin Garnett
6. Shaquille O' Neal
7. Wilt Chamberlain
8. Tim Duncan
9. Hakeem Olajuwon

Could make it to the top of the above group with better longevity, rn unsure:
10. Stephen Curry

I adjusted my model midway through the top 10, to focus a little more on peak. Anyways here’s mine.

Tier 1
Lebron

Tier 2
MJ / KAJ

Tier 3
Russell

Tier 4
Duncan / Hakeem / Shaq / KG / Wilt

Tier 5
Steph / Magic / Bird

That’s 12. I think you can argue between tiers, and someone could convince me to re-arrange the order within tiers. They’re pretty close.

KG

Shaq
Wilt/Hakeem (go back and forth on Wilt/Hakeem)
Magic

Well, here we go!

1.) LeBron James
2.) Michael Jordan
3.) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4.) Hakeem Olajuwon
5.) Bill Russell
6.) Shaquille O'Neal
7.) Tim Duncan
8.) Wilt Chamberlain
9.) Kevin Garnett
10.) Larry Bird

I should make it apparent that since I have a more peak/5-8 year prime quality-oriented eval perspective, the ranges for most of these players are pretty wide and there's more fluidity to their rankings as opposed to rigidity.

Interesting. Doc, when did you become lower on KG? And where do you have David Robinson?
