Retro Player of the Year Project

[PTB Fan]

Is there an open place to join this project?

There are plenty of smart and insightful things written on this sight. As with life in general those bright things are the exception.

There are mountains of dumb, blind things said on this sight. This RPOTY project is one of the most partisan and phony of all. I am speaking of the list itself, not the posts. I am sure there are some good posts. Figured someone ought to point it out. Just lame.

site, not sight. if youre going to insult something, at least do it write.

Touche. I make those kinds of mistakes, even though I know better, too often.

PS I am assuming your faux pas was in jest.

By the way, we registered within a couple of days of each other. You have out-posted me 10 to 1.

[Doormatt]

cool story bro?

[PTB Fan]

Great project you have going on here!

With the completion of the '11-12 voting, I've updated the lists on the first post of the thread:

Major news:

LeBron James now ranks 10th all-time in POY shares, and joins the select club of players who have been a Player of the Decade over a 10 year stretch.

I expect semi-sentient will update his website for the project soon. That will always remain the coolest place to check out the results. Link:

No highest 10s POY Shares section yet? It's been two years.

Finally got around to updating the site.

Check out the "Misc" section on http://rpoy.dolem.com. There are a few different views available, including POY share leaders.

Doc: LeBron is actually up to the #9 spot, just ahead of Dr J.

Hey Semi, 82-83 has Moses #1 & #2.

Hey Semi, 82-83 has Moses #1 & #2.

Because he was so dominant that year.

[semi-sentient]

Looks like a few of the years got mixed up (82-83 were combined, and '81 was missing). Should be good to go now.

You should use Lebron in a Heat jersey for 2012 instead of a Cavs jersey.

[DayofMourning]

Awesome stuff. Those all time rankings are pretty correct by my view. Great work.

Larry Bird being chosen as the 1981 player of the year is probably the weakest choice ever. He wasn't even top 10 in PER during the regular season, did absolutely nothing in the nba finals. Moses Malone, Dr. J and Kareem were all better that year.

Kevin Garnett for 2008 is a hoorendously weak choice too. Played sheltered minutes during the regular season, was the 2nd scoring option in order to win a ring. Chris Paul and Lebron were clearly better players this year.

It's obvious the criteria is which player got to play on a team that won, rather than who actually was the best. Surprising though that the criteria doesnt have magic above bird in 1985 when magic was clearly better in the playoffs.
