How do I put this, Jim…
you stink
For everyone who loves to argue over the relative value of players, here are the 2006-2007 Hollinger Projections. Created by John Hollinger, these rankings are based on a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) which is a measure of how valuable a player is based on per minute productivity. Granted the ratings are still the work of one guy but at least it’s based on formulas, which makes it just a little more legit than, say, team power rankings.
In any case, here are your top 10 players in the NBA.
- LeBron James
- Kobe Bryant
- Dirk Nowitzki
- Amare Stoudemire
- Dwyane Wade (lost points on the ridiculous spelling of his name)
- Kevin Garnett
- Chris Paul
- Pau Gasol
- Gilbert Arenas
- Allen Iverson
Sadly, if you scroll all the way to #330, the worst player in the NBA is Jim Jackson of the Lakers. Above him are (#329) Ryan Bowen, (#328) Rafael Araujo, (#327) Darrell Armstrong and (#326) Mark Madsen. If you’re ranked behind Mark Madsen, it’s seriously time to consider retiring. Jim Jackson is so bad that there isn’t even a comment next to his name.
Can we set up a dance off between Jackson and Ethan Albright?
