Lake Show Life Consensus Rankings
Calculating the consensus rankings of the four rankers was quite simple. We merely assigned a point-value to a ranking (No. 1=10 points, No. 2=9 points, etc.) and then tallied the totals for each player. These were the final top-10 rankings as decided by the Lake Show Life staff.
So there you have it; according to Lake Show Life, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all-time, but Kobe Bryant comes in as the fourth-best NBA player in the post-merger era behind two other Lakers greats in Magic and Kareem. Not only does Bryant rank as a top-10 player, but even cracks the top-five.
Where would you have Bryant, though? Is he higher than fourth on your list? Would you shuffle the rankings up a bit? Let Lake Show Life know what you think in the comments or on Twitter.
