With the NBA season coming to a close yesterday with the crowning of a new champion, I've added in the season's data to my formula to determine the current ranking of the top 100 players of all time. There was just one active player to join the list this year, with 3 others who were extremely close, 2 of which are virtual guarantees to be here by the end of next season. Players to watch for next year are Jrue Holiday and Joel Embiid (virtual locks), Kyle Lowry, Luka Doncic, and Trae Young (should make it), and Mike Conley, Kevin Love, DeMar DeRozan, Paul George, Jayson Tatum, and Devin Booker (all with a small chance). Players are listed with their ranking from last season in parentheses:
