1. try to get a simple mathematical evaluation with minimal interference/interpretation
2. all subjective, so if you have different formula, yours are likely better
3. only for reference for ATG ranking if someone wants to consider accolades/achievements
Rules:
1. Only players at least one MVP AND one Finals MVP are considered, as those players were the best in a long season among the peers as well as demonstrated to be the leader of a championship team;
2. EFMVP is calculated based on FMVP+(Rings without FMVP/2), to account for ATGs' contribution to the championships
3. The ranking is based on MIN{EFMVP, MVP} to account for consistent dominance, when there is a tie:
a- the player with SUM{EFMVP, MVP} wins, if there is still a tie,
b- the player with more MVPs wins, if there is still a tie,
c- the player with more FMVP from the same EFMVP wins, if there is still a tie
d- the player with MVP/FMVP in the same year wins, if there is still a tie
e- the player with more trips to the finals win (closer to more rings and FMVPs)
Results:
1. Russel MIN{6.5, 5} = 5, I only gave Russel 2 FMVP to get to EFMVP of (2+(11-2)/2)=6.5
2. Jordan MIN{6, 5}=5
3. Jabbar MIN{4,6}=4
4. LeBron MIN{4,4}=4, lose to KAJ due to rule a, SUM{}
5. Magic MIN{4,3}=3
6. Bird MIN{2.5,3}=2.5
7. Wilt MIN{2,4}=2 (have to give Wilt 67 FMVP with 17.7/28.5r/6.8a)
8. Duncan MIN{4,2}=2
9. Curry MIN{2.5,2}=2
10. Shaq MIN{3.5,1}=1
11. Kobe MIN{3.5,1}=1 Lost to Shaq due to rule c

After here, other achievements may come into play and the exact ranking can be tricky.
12. Moses MIN{1,3}=1
13. Giannis MIN{1,2}=1
14. Hakeem MIN{2,1}=1, Lost to Giannis due to rule b
15. Durant MIN{2,1}=1, lost to Dream due to rule d
16. Reed MIN{2,1}=1, lost to KD due to rule e
17. Walton MIN{1.5,1}=1
18. Unseld MIN{1,1}=1,
19. Dirk MIN{1,1}=1, lost to Unseld due to rule e
