Top 200 Players in ABA and NBA history
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 1:36 pm
Hello all-
Am in the finishing stages of putting together a statistically based analyst of the top 365 players in NBA and ABA history. I am then going to be having a book published displaying this data together with biographies for each of them.
However, on Monday the 22nd over November I will be debuting a new blog located at: http://hoopsgreatest.blogspot.com/ counting down from number 200 to 1. The blog will be excerpts of the upcoming book. The blog will end just prior or at the start of the 2010 NBA Finals.
I have poured months of my time into this project and am thankful to have a quality publisher backing me up on this project. I have written on the NBA (and other professional leagues) for magazines both in the United States and abroad. I have a scouting background as well.
A stroke left me unable to continue with the scouting job so I've put my heart and soul into this project. Hopefully it's a success, but if it isn't, then so be it. It was a blast doing it. The vast majority of the money from the sale of the books (along with all/any revenue from the 'adsense' will be going directly to charity. The only money the publisher and I are looking to make from this is to cover costs.
So please at least take a look. As my 'preview blog' says - I'm looking for a designer who may or may not be interested in designing the book cover and receiving appropriate compensation on the cover.
Sorry for spamming if this is considered spam. Back to contributing meaningfully to the boards (not that my post count is high).
