I think there’s a formula for ranking guys that includes all these things. 

Rings and finals MVP rank #1 but they obviously aren’t the only thing. 

MVP rates highly, as does 1st team all NBA 

Scoring, assist and rebounding titles matter next 

steals, blocks, DPOY, all defensive team probably falls a little lower. 

All stars is the next step. 

I think playoff success without a ring is pretty worthless for a players legacy. 

I'd go like this for the awards hierarchy.

1. Rings + Finals MVPs
2. Regular Season MVPs
3. All-NBA Teams
4. All-Stars
5. Scoring Title
6. DPOY
7. Other Titles
8. All-Defensive Teams
9. Other Awards

"nick Name" --- Larry "legend" "air" Jordan. "the King" (my azz BTW) and so on. If you don't have a good "nick Name" you can't apply for greatness .

1. Rings + Finals MVPs
2. Regular Season MVPs
3. All-NBA Teams
4. All-Stars
5. Scoring Title
6. DPOY
7. Other Titles
8. All-Defensive Teams
9. Other Awards

add one more criteria

Regular season MVP's are more valuable than Rings/Finals MVP. The latter are far flukier.
