Some observations:

- Kobe Bryant was 1st in 3 out of 4 categories
- Kevin Garnett was 1st in "liked" and 2nd in "loved"
- LeBron James was top 4 in 3 out of 3 categories

I came up with a formula to measure, I think, the overall popularity of the players... Correct me if I'm tripping.

The formula: ((# of "loved" votes x 2) + (# of "liked" votes x 1)) - ((# of "hated" votes x 2) + (# of "disliked" votes x 1))

I considered only players who received at least 4 votes in at least one category. So this was this final list, with 34 players:

Kevin Garnett 31
Carmelo Anthony 16
Amare Stoudamire 13
Dwyane Wade 10
Allen Iverson 9
Anfernee Hardaway 9
Darius Miles 8
Ray Allen 8
Zach Randolph 8
Baron Davis 7
Gary Payton 7
Carlos Boozer 6
Yao Ming 6
LeBron James 5
Emanuel Ginobili 4
Jason Richardson 4
Jason Kidd 3
Shaquille O'Neal 2
Tim Duncan 2
Dirk Nowitzky 1
Sam Cassell 1
Tracy McGrady 1
Vince Carter -1
Ben Wallace -2
Paul Pierce -2
Kenyon Martin -4
Kobe Bryant -5
Chris Webber -7
Derek Fisher -8
Reggie Miller -9
Vlade Divac -10
Keith Van Horn -11
Karl Malone -13
Antoine Walker -16

In bold we have the most popular players on the league, bad or good.

Comments please... I dunno if I'm tripping...

[1CenT]

penny hardaway
wow

[Vins15]

heh i knew without calculating most ppl hates Walker

[Filip]

Wow, nice work Tales (that have to be painful to do that list)
But I've to say that I'm very disappointed on you fellow nlsc members that you blew Karl Malone off, and ended up with -13. That aint fair dudes:!: . I know that this much about taste, but it's like dissing Wilt or someone. How can you dismiss a guy that never miss a game(xcept this season) (yeah I know that i'm naggin about his performance to show up, but I think that's a really important aspect) and going real strong @ old age. The guy has a career average fg% of 51%, a ppg career average 25ppg and career average of 10rpg. He can score both from distance and close.

He is almost the only player here that ever be in the top 50 player (real) list

He is one of the best PF of all times and I respect him more than anyone else in the league.

True...but we don't like him

[Stevan]

nice job Tales, thanks for that Hehe, Antoine Walker

I just don't like Karl Malone... you can chalk that one up to "there's just something about him...". No question he's one of the all time greats. It's not like with Wilt who I dislike for being the biggest scam in sports history.

Looks like my man Divac didn't do too well on the list Why guys? Is it the beard? Oh right... the flopping...

[Drex]
