I put it in Manu's entry, do the gifs not show up for you or something? Is there more than one double flop involving those two?

I'm pretty surprised Blake placed that high. If nothing else, you'd think the recent spotlight on his Weird Elbows would be a blow to his popularity

Fun fact: John Wall is the only guy in the top 20 without a vote higher than #4. We need more Wizards homers.

Kobe's coolness and basketball skills are inverted at all times. Old Man Kobe is awful at ball, but is cool is hell now that he super doesn't give a gently caress.

Can the current state of NBA fashion be traced directly back to a collective lashing out at the enforced dress code? I really hope so because it is the best possible way to deal with that.

I feel like he was better 2 playoffs ago and people got really hyped for him last year. (I could be completely wrong.)

He may have been better but last year is when all the Boris Diaw is incredibly French stories were being shared.

This is 'favourite' players, not best players. Everyone loves Boris for being able to play basketball at a high level whilst giving only the most stylish amount of effort.

Our second entry that ended up in exactly the same place as two years ago, which seems crazy considering he won MVP in the meantime. He did end up with 50 points more back then though.
