Sent mine in. I have lots of stupid people on my ballot, but my personal favourite of the novelty selections is......






Boris Diaw. The poor man's Magic Johnson. The round mound of not many rebounds. Along with Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul, Boris Diaw is one of the leagues most effective players in sticking out their rear end to make room in the post. Boris Diaw has the league's slowest three point release but he shoots them at .400. He's a swiss army knife off the Spur's bench who's fantastic at nothing but good at everything (except maybe running fast). Every movement, every dribble, every shot is draped in elegance. He's not the only Frenchman in the NBA, but he's the only one where you can feel his French-ness in his every action. His style is slow, cerebral and regal. Like the fine wine his country produces his game has aged impeccably. There are very few players who give me as much joy as Diaw on a per possession basis.

Great pick. When I think about Boris Diaw, I think about Beethoven, and the age of the Romantics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KkrccHEAqg

Can we change our lists as long as it's before the deadline? I forgot a couple guys.

Yeah, I redid mine for maximum homerness. Homerism? Homerosity?

I'm beginning to suspect Matt Bonner's not gonna make it in. :(

I had him at #6, just below Joseph, so there's still hope.

I disqualified Patty because he's barely played. Does that make me a bad Spurs homer?
