SJ top posters vs. NBA all-time scorers: Discuss

This moved on the wire and I thought "Damn, this looks familiar."

Then I realized, this looks similar to the current SportsJournalists.com list of top posters!

Go down a ways and the list begins to lose comparison, but the numbers similarity is uncanny.

I'm Kevin Garnett, bitches!

So wait, I'm Michael Jordan?

 

I'm The Dream.

Sounds about right.

 

I think BYH is the greatest, but my dad says he doesn't work hard enough on non-90210 posts. And he says that lots of times, BYH doesn't even spellcheck. And that he doesn't really try . . . except during the all-SportsJournalists.com season.

 

Dammit. I'm Clyde Drexler.

Pretty soon, though, I'll be Elgin Baylor. He played college ball in Seattle, so that works.

 

Awesome. I love Airplane.

 

Cool, I'm the Iceman. I guess I'm capable of putting up 63 posts in one day.

Also, if my counting is accurate. SportsJournalists.com's 21st top poster (in number of posts) is 21. That would make her Elgin Baylor.

 

I'm not even Tom Chambers.

Kelly Tripucka FTW!

 

Basketball in Seattle? Hogwash.

 

[quote author=BYH]The hell I don't. LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at Hofstra. I'm out there busting my posts every night. Tell your old man to drag Pallister and Zeke up and down the Anything Goes board for 48 threads.

 

Watch it.
