About the project

A better way to discover your own NBA ranking

Full Court Order is an independent basketball ranking tool. It replaces the usual drag-and-drop list with a sequence of direct player choices, then turns those decisions into a personal Top 10, 25, 50, or 100.

Why this site exists

Player rankings are easy to read and surprisingly hard to make. A list that looks reasonable at first can become inconsistent once every nearby pair is examined. You may place one scorer above a two-way wing, then reverse the same logic five spots later without noticing. Full Court Order makes those tradeoffs visible. Instead of asking you to arrange one hundred names at once, it asks a smaller, repeatable question: which of these two players belongs higher for the season being ranked?

The final list is therefore a record of actual choices, not a copied expert board. Users can choose which statistics appear, hide identifying information in blind mode, change the amount of matchup coverage, and compare the result with friends or published rankings.

What is original here

Full Court Order combines three things that are normally separate: a decision-based ranking session, a transparent consensus starting field, and a list-comparison workspace. The starting consensus is useful for deciding which players should enter the candidate pool; it is not treated as the correct answer. Every completed ranking can move players away from that starting order.

The site also calculates how two lists differ instead of merely placing them side by side. That makes it possible to see exact matches, near matches, meaningful risers and fallers, and the players one list includes while another leaves out.

Published rankings and independence

Published boards from ESPN, HoopsHype, The Ringer, r/NBA, and NBA 2K are presented as attributed comparison sources. Full Court Order does not republish their articles or claim their work as its own. The app stores only the ordered player names needed to calculate comparisons, links readers to the original source, and adds its own ranking and analysis tools.

The project is not affiliated with the NBA, its teams or players, ESPN, HoopsHype, The Ringer, Reddit, or NBA 2K. Source inclusion is not an endorsement, and a source’s place in the consensus does not make its individual order more authoritative than another.

Privacy by default

Ranking sessions and saved lists stay in the user’s browser unless the user deliberately creates a share link. No account is required to build a ranking. Shared links contain the list data needed to display the result; they are not a public profile system or a promise of permanent cloud storage.

Who publishes Full Court Order

Full Court Order is independently published and maintained. Source attributions, ranking data, methodology explanations, and technical corrections are reviewed before they are added. The project does not accept payment for a player’s position or for inclusion in the consensus.

Questions and correction requests can be submitted through the public contact page.
