Damn, those Magic ones are harsh. It's becoming clear that I'll have to build some type of rotating image functionality so that we have 5 or 6 for each player. :)

Yes. I like it.

Surprisingly, I did google searches for "Shaquille eats" and "Shaquille food" and nothing good came up, except for him wearing an Asian peasant hat.

Magic shouldn't be allowed topless at the pool. Also :rofl: at Nash's MVP statute.

YES. I couldn't find the bare chested one.

I have to advocate for the "Suns spend first-round pick on 13-year-old" shot, though. That's pretty good, too.

I saw a GIF of him stuffing popcorn into his face at a game that was pretty funny. I know those guys probably want to make up for lost time after being in shape all those years, but there's just something not right about seeing Magic Johnson with tits.

We need a GIF of Barkley's golf swing. A picture doesn't nearly do it justice.

Mug shots should be used whenever possible.

Who's up for some kind of intermission after every decade? A few days off to catch one's breath every few weeks might be nice. Personally, I'm going to try and watch more video of the older years anyway, which is more time-consuming...

Guys keep the feedback coming on this idea. I've got concerns about people getting out of the habit of contributing, but if the consensus wants a break, we'll take a break.

Hey Doc - are you going to post the results as they come in year-by-year somewhere (maybe in this thread)? Right now, in order to review the results we have to go back and find the individual yearly thread...
