1996-97 PLAYER RATINGS

February 4, 2002

   Welcome to Alleyoop.com's player ratings. Using a detailed formula, I have developed a system that rates every player's statistical performance, and have ratings for ever year going back to 1990. Over the next several weeks I will be placing these ratings on the site. For more on the player ratings, check the player ratings main page.

Below are the top 50 players from the 1996-97 season. Karl Malone beat out Michael Jordan for top honors. I've also included some stats from the season to give you an idea of how they ended up with their rating. Keep in mind these ratings are on a per-minute basis, so players who played very well in limited minutes may show up high on the list:
