New index ranks all-time great NBA players

The NBA has compiled a list of the greatest basketball players ever. This ranking includes so-called "GOATs," or Greatest of All Time, along with many specific categories for different types of players. The main ranking features 78 players. There are also separate lists for different positions like point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, and centers. Each position has its own list of the top 20 players. Other rankings highlight peak performance, defensive skills, and international talent. There is a list for the greatest players who never made it to the NBA and one for outstanding teenage players. Additionally, the rankings include players over 40, those who excelled on minimum contracts, and those not in the Hall of Fame. There are even rankings for shorter players standing 6 feet and under. This comprehensive approach allows fans to explore a wide range of basketball talent across different eras and situations.
