EXAMPLE OF THE 4-STEP PROCEDURE USING ONLY 3 CATEGORIES (yours should have 7 and justifications)
Michael Jordan: 3*(6) + 5*(6) + 3*(1) = 51
Larry Bird: 3*(5) + 5*(3) + 3*(0) = 30
Thus according to my subjective weighing equation, Michael Jordan is a greater player than Larry Bird.

EXAMPLE OF THE 4-STEP PROCEDURE USING ONLY 3 CATEGORIES (yours should have 7 and justifications)
- Scoring, Championships, Defense
- Career field goal percentage, number of championships, number of defensive player of the year awards
- Scoring- 3, Championships- 6, Defense- 3... (the weights of the categories are ratios, thus numbers can be repeated. Be sure to explain your system of weights)
- Formula = 3*(x)+5*(y)+3*(z)... where x =(career field goal percentage ranking among 8 players considered where the best field goal percentage is 8 and the worst is 1) and y = number of championships and z = number of defensive player of the years
Michael Jordan: 3*(6) + 5*(6) + 3*(1) = 51
Larry Bird: 3*(5) + 5*(3) + 3*(0) = 30
Thus according to my subjective weighing equation, Michael Jordan is a greater player than Larry Bird.
