Every time anyone votes it changes.

When I got to it this morning Wilt was number one, and I believe he and Jordan only had 2 losses.

Should we start a PC board campaign? Who are we going to vote at #1? LET'S MOBILIZE THE TROOPS!

I vote Bargnani--Raps in 4. :lol:

This is really cool.

Not to jump to any conclusions, but it seems like the rankings are becoming more accurate over time. Not to say that the RealGM Top 100 is entirely accurate, but It hasn't even been a day and their top 20 is already pretty close to ours.
