The Top 40 NBA Players List

Hard to believe, but one of the the most heavily anticipated seasons in the history of The Association is a little more than two weeks away.

I have been meaning to write and rank who I think are the top 40 guys running in the NBA. I have taken a few stabs at it just on a piece of scrap paper over the last few weeks. I am gonna give it a go on the blog here shortly.

The challenge I think in the assembly of the list is just the criteria that I want to work with and evaluate players with. That's been the challenge that has delayed this list. Points? Playing on a good team? Charges taken? Basketball IQ? Just being a good guy?

I have been thinking about it, and have decided to just wing it. There's gonna be no consistent criteria. I am an NBA dork. I just know the guys when I see the guys. This is going to be a bias list. I am gonna pick the guys that I think are the most valuable and best players in the league. Guys that are winners. Guys that I would like to play with.

I will try to write about a couple players each day. Hopefully the top 5 will come right about during the opening week.

Willing to work harder,
