As noted in your comments and your signature, you’re going to hitch your star to Hollinger’s rankings and the subsequent poll.

Once again, your comments will come back to haunt you. We’ll begin with Hollinger’s rankings. You don’t need to take my opinion of this. Let’s look at what others have to say. What is most enlightening is to read through the replies from ESPN Sports Nation’s members regarding Hollinger’s methodology. At last count there are over 300 replies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the comments are running more than 20-1 critical of Hollinger’s methodology. You can probably count on your ten fingers how many replies out of the 300 have complimented Hollinger for his methodology.
A number of readers have noted the following:
The Pistons ending up at #13, behind the Bucks and teams that have never won a title?
30 points for a championship, the same as a team’s 30-win season (tell me the last time a team with a 30-win season felt like they had just won a championship!)
Points for All-Stars? (I always thought it was about what happened on the court, what’s next – franchise $ value!)
Intangibles? An extra 150 points?
Hollinger’s methodology and rankings are considered by ESPN Sports Nation’s members to be a complete joke! I guess that says a lot about your “same reasons”.
