Kobe Bryant will have season-ending shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff on Wednesday, the Lakers say.

rip a legendary campaign

will always remember where I was when I read the tweet

id participate in a poll like that. could be fun

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

i'd personally only want to do that one if we restricted it to players currently on nba rosters

yeah that would be fine

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.

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

but also I think it would be fun to speculate about which current all stars will still be good / around / etc.

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.

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.

fine with me if you suggest some better way

okay you talked me out of wanting to do this

i think maybe a ballot version of your favorite nba players for watching could be interesting

there'd be some pretty universal choices and some regional idiosyncrasies and some pretty personal choices that'd be given voice imo

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

KD has an injured left toe? dude ain't got no luck

I say we do a poll of favorite draft busts 2000-present

we could do a poll with like a lot of of different questions

of one where everyone just makes up their own questions

let's all interview each other and start a cool basketball magazine

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

the format can be like tumblr comments

ive never quite understood ilxs obsession with polling. i assume its an ilm thing

polls are the best they're how you find out the order in which stuff is good

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

btw rite now pekovic is trying to back down perk in the post while wiggins and westbro are dunking on everyone, its great

will always remember where I was when I read the tweet

*the whole Spurs roster minus Parker

oh wau all of Matt's pet project bigs getting their dicks kicked in by the celtics
