Any possibility of adding SoS to this list?

I'd be interested in seeing how many players are on this list just based on the lack of talent of teams that they faced in the playoffs.

Lindsey Hunter is not active. He is retired.

Good idea. I was originally going for something like QB W-L records (which aren't weighted by anything), in part because readers like this kind of thing, and in part to use the Stacey King factoid as further evidence of how ridiculous QB W-L records are in football... But in fairness to QB W-L, they are essentially weighted by playing time -- QBs only get credit for W-L when they start, which is a crude way of weighting by something like minutes, so the true equivalent in basketball would be what you guys suggested, a minute-weighted W-L. Of course, that means we have to throw out 1950 and 1951, so poor Mikan.

I was going to mention that: Stacey King is number one in winning percentage. There is something ironically odd about that.

Stacey King didn't really have much to do with any Bulls' winning% while he was on their bench.

Why not just weight these Wins by the minutes they played?
