Ya'll need to start looking and commenting on these pictures.

It takes a lot of time searching the interwebs for some of these funny ones.

I would say that Parker is better than Anthony. Hell, maybe even move Rondo ahead of him.

Why is Rondo an option and Pierce isn't?

Pierce > Rondo

As for this thread, LMA.

There was a lot of dispute over Melo.

I think the main thing affecting Rondo is that because he's got so many good vets around him, the question that everyone always wonders is 'how good is he when he can't defer to PP, Allen, and KG.

If Rondo can gain some confidence in his jumper and actually start to shoot, watch out!

Funny I was going to say, what actually makes Melo better then Pierce right now?

Lets see Parker play with Amare and Iman for a season, and see how he fairs lol. And Raon Rondo? Never had a J in his NBA career. Game on the line, Melo is one of the clutches players in the league, and not the easiest player to guard unless he wants to be lazy and continue putting up Jumpers SMH.

I rather not say who I voted for lol

Not this LMA crap again, Love is the far superior offensive player and rebounder, LMA might be better defensively but that is it, do I have to re-post my thoughts on Love vs LMA, here's a hint: the results weren't pretty.

i went with Westbrook.
yo NYcevo, dont stop with the pictures, they are awesome.

Give me Nash.

And a few thoughts:

-Pierce and KG are both better than Rondo
-I'd take LMA over Love too
-Parker is better than Rondo
-Harden is better than quite a few guys

Has Gasol been nominated yet?

Come on, lol, how do you put Bosh up there and not Gasol?

Post #16 » by **NyCeEvO** » Tue May 8, 2012 12:50 am

Ok, I will explain the nomination process once again.

Every round there are 2-3 guys that are serious contenders. The rest are there because they're more popular than their game suggests and I just want to see who actually believes the hype and fanfare are legit.

Every time I make a thread, it's not because I think these are the next 10 BPA. It's combination of BPA, big names, and 'what have you done for me lately' guys.

I'm not sitting here thinking down to the last guy 'is Bosh better than Gasol?' Bosh and Gasol aren't close to getting these next few slots so there's no need to worry about them. For example, I've had Westbrook on here since #6 I believe, not because I think he garners serious consideration for a #6-10 slot, but more so because he's been talked about a lot and people are (foolishly) saying that he's a top 3 PG. He's been on for awhile, not because of legit consideration for the slot but because of fanfare.

Now, get to voting yall....

@bkz Thanks. I have no intention of refraining from posting the pictures. I was just wondering if people were actually looking at them cuz while most of them aren't ROFL-worthy, I think some of them that have been posted throughout the first ten rounds are.

Like I thought this was hilarious:

And lets not forget its a voting, so just because majority wins, that DOES NOT mean the person you voted for his not better/worse. Its just a voting forum voting, nothing here is set in stone.

THANK YOU!

I forgot to mention this. I know some of us are getting uber-pissed about some rankings, but it's just voting process that I plan on doing at least twice a year if not more. This is a fluid system.

The next time we do this I'm quite certain Nowitzki will not be #5.....he will be #1 jkjk.

But in all seriousness, this is all for fun and something for us to enjoy doing as a board. Unless you have money riding on these rankings (lol), I wouldn't take them as objective truth.

I think Joe Johnson should be mentioned in Top 20 or 30. He's overpaid, but he's not a scrub.

LOL, he'll be mentioned soon enough but he def ain't 11 or 12.

The problem with JJ is that when he was far and away the best player on the Hawks, they were terrible. Once Smoove and Horford established themselves, the Hawks became good.

That doesn't speak well for JJ's stock. He's good, but he doesn't want to be a star every game like others do.
