Publisher's Synopsis
If asked most basketball fans would say that Michael "Air" Jordan is the greatest player of all time. The masses of "Air" Jordan loyalists may even concede that LeBron James is the heir apparent. Are these rankings accurate and objective? If not, then who is the G.O.A.T? That is the question that this book answers definitively.
Basketball G.O.A.T contains 165 player profiles as well as all relevant statistical information. In addition, the Top 30 players are listed for each position, and a 15-man Honorable Mention has been included as well. Best of all, each player is objectively evaluated using the same parameters. Every player's overall "value" is established by using a detailed statistical equation known as the Player Valuation Numeric (PVN). With the use of the Player Valuation Numeric, the true overall significance a player brings to the game from both the offensive and defensive ends of the court can be calculated. Now, for the first time ever, the true value each competitor brings to "battle" can be measured using each player's recorded production; taking into account personal accomplishments; recognizing the "winning of championships" as the desired outcome; while giving all variables appropriate merit. No longer is there a need for opinionated debate or player comparisons such as; who is the greatest small forward of All-time? Is Michael Jordan the best shooting guard ever? Who is the best power forward ever? Most importantly, who is the greatest player of all time? Fortunately, the answers to these questions, and more, can be found within the pages of Basketball G.O.A.T
