So how does this work? If you want to participate, send me a list of your 20 favorite active NBA players. This means that whoever you have on your ballot must have played in at least one game during the 2014-2015 season, or be expected to do so. You can take the selection process as seriously as you want, this is all in good fun (please note how the thread title says "favorite" instead of "best". This will probably be important later on). You can either pm me your list or send it to wheelchairmosh@gmail.com Here's a template for your list, please send it to me in this format so I don't have to count whether everyone really put 20 guys on their ballot. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. The list will be tabulated as follows: The top player on your list gets 20 points, the second one gets 19, all the way down to #20, who gets 1 point. If you send in an incomplete list it will damage your top choices. For example, the top guy on a list only counting 15 guys gets 15 points instead of 20. Can I stuff my ballot with all my favorite role players and human victory cigars? Sure! Like I said, you can take this as seriously as you want to. What about guys who are injured or playing in China or whatever? We'll count them as long as they're expected to make it back onto an NBA court reasonably soon. These will be judged on a case by case basis. Can I be an extra special snowflake and vote for WNBA players? Please don't. I don't care how much you like Lauren Jackson, I won't count any part of your ballot this year if she's on it. What's the deadline? Speaking of, who won last time? Here's last year's Top 50. code:
Please don't post your ballots in this thread until the countdown is over, it makes it more fun for everyone. Instead, use this thread to campaign for people you think might get overlooked. Use all the gifs, articles, stats and silly pictures at your disposal (or send them to me along with your ballot ). Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Feb 16, 2016 |

Has Steven Adams actually been good this year or is the reason some Thunder fan weirdo just put him above Durant purely moustache-based?

Quick update: As of right now I only have 9 ballots (compared to 43 total last year), do you guys need more time or something? Should we go back to only doing this every other year?

Turner owns, I'm glad the Pacers have a big man to get excited about again. We're up to 19 ballots now. I'm extending the deadline to the end of the Spurs / Clippers game on Thursday.

Sure, I guess he counts since he played two preseason games with the Warriors. Has he even been playing anywhere internationally since he got waived? As much as I've come to like Clark I was super bummed when Gordon lost his bench spot to him, really hoping this isn't gonna turn into a quiet retirement.
