My ballot for greatest of all time would probably shape up like
1. Gilbert Arenas2. Greg Oden3. Ernie Johnson

My all-time would just be various California-era Warriors.

id participate in a poll like that. could be fun
― Spottie, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:37 (nine years ago) link
if we did a poll it should be a list of who we think will be the top players in 5 years rather than top players now, that would be much more interesting
― k3vin k., Monday, 26 January 2015 20:43 (nine years ago) link
i'd personally only want to do that one if we restricted it to players currently on nba rosters
― polyphonic, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah that would be fine
― k3vin k., Monday, 26 January 2015 20:46 (nine years ago) link
maybe do 3 years then
I say we should each post our own list of who we think will be the top players in a few years. maybe make it more verifiable by saying who in the league today who hasn't been an all star yet, will be in the 2018 all-star game. and then we slag off on each others lists, like we usually do.
― Aimless, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:11 (nine years ago) link
I say we should each post our own list
individual ballots at the end, like we always do
maybe make it more verifiable by saying who in the league today who hasn't been an all star yet
unnecessary restriction imo
will be in the 2018 all-star game.
really don't give a fuck about the asg
― polyphonic, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:13 (nine years ago) link
but also I think it would be fun to speculate about which current all stars will still be good / around / etc.
― polyphonic, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:19 (nine years ago) link
but just saying so-and-so will be "a top player" leads to nothing new we don't already do all the time anyway, which is argue over relative merits of players and disagree with one another. the asg metric at least allows the possibility of doing a victory dance.
― Aimless, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:20 (nine years ago) link
there are all sorts of stats and awards that people use to argue about the relative merits of individual players, and few of them are fundamentally less indicative of ability that all-star game appearances.
― polyphonic, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link
fine with me if you suggest some better way
― Aimless, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:25 (nine years ago) link
okay you talked me out of wanting to do this
― polyphonic, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:28 (nine years ago) link
i think maybe a ballot version of your favorite nba players for watching could be interesting
― o-TIM-DUNCAN-SAD-facebook.jpg (Clay), Monday, 26 January 2015 21:30 (nine years ago) link
there'd be some pretty universal choices and some regional idiosyncrasies and some pretty personal choices that'd be given voice imo
― o-TIM-DUNCAN-SAD-facebook.jpg (Clay), Monday, 26 January 2015 21:31 (nine years ago) link
i actually think "best" would be better if we do the 3 year thing. "favorite" would dilute the ballots too much. we're only gonna get like 10 people voting

I say we do a poll of favorite draft busts 2000-present
― we just form a f#!king wall (agent hibachi), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 01:21 (nine years ago) link
we could do a poll with like a lot of of different questions
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 01:22 (nine years ago) link
of one where everyone just makes up their own questions
let's all interview each other and start a cool basketball magazine
― o-TIM-DUNCAN-SAD-facebook.jpg (Clay), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 01:23 (nine years ago) link
poll should only include players who have worn hannibal lecter masks to protect broken noses etc

Maybe we should poll possible poll questions first then our magazine can be called hoop infinity: recursive polling

ive never quite understood ilxs obsession with polling. i assume its an ilm thing
― micah, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 01:35 (nine years ago) link
polls are the best they're how you find out the order in which stuff is good
― o-TIM-DUNCAN-SAD-facebook.jpg (Clay), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 01:36 (nine years ago) link
far too much ball discourse is just like "who is the best x?"" and id rather avoid it
i accept that some listing is necessary tho
