Oops--sorry, forgot who all did what.
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimism™, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
Any thoughts before the playoffs on what your 2010-11 POY ballot might look like, as of right now?
You've got Derrick Rose with a nice combination of statistical output and team success, LeBron once again the most dominant player statistically with Dwight trailing close behind, and guys like Wade, Durant, Dirk and Kobe all on that next tier.

Just like we waited until after the playoffs last year, I assume we'll be doing the same this year. Too soon to judge things.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
I'd agree that it's too soon to judge things. I did some purely stats-based comparisons of players at different positions (PG, wing, and big man) over the course of the season, then came up with a top-20 across all positions that I compared against each other. I'd say that anyone in that top-20 (as a rough benchmark) could play themselves into the top-5 with a strong enough playoff run. There weren't any run-away leaders this year, as far as I could tell.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
I think James has been a better player this year than ever before. We'll see what happens in the playoffs.
Dwight has a great argument for number two.
Rose is my MVP, but he's at the lower end of my top five (if in the top five at all). Kind of like Steve Nash in his MVP years.
Too early to give a real list though.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
My metric was always playoff games counted roughly double. So using that, I still have like a third of the season to go. Way too early.

Well, I've got my end of regular season POY rankings on my blog going. That's how I see it now.
As far as when to start discussion on here. I was thinking of starting a thread after the first round, though I'm open to the opinions of others. I personally don't see a problem with starting a thread well before our final opinions are ready, so long as people are interested in the discussion.

Contrary to popular belief, it didn't end when we got to the pre-Kobe years.

lol - I'm sorry.
I haven't been around. It's not like I've been posting elsewhere on the board and not participating.

Hopefully sentient gets it back up, as it rocks. Here's a Google doc though:

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
I read through this a while back and I have to say, awesome work. It actually inspired me to do my own 'retro player' project on a different site for the NFL, which is slowly but surely in the process of being done right now.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
With the retro POY project set to expire in a couple weeks after the Finals are over, any interest in re-doing the top-100? It's pretty out of date IMO.

We will be redoing the top 100 list after the finals are over. Lot of interest from many people, hope you are on board for it too.

Re: Retro Player of the Year Project
I'll probably try to get in on that since I missed the last one. The Retro Player of the Year Project is the only board project I've participated in.
I remember your posts from the RPOY project, you consistently brought it. Please continue to do so, sir. This board needs guys like you to counteract ... worthless posters
