A better basketball site.
For intelligent readers, from veteran writers.
Keep scrolling down. Good stuff here.
The two best games of the playoffs thus far have clearly been Game 4 between the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls and Game 1 between the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs, which had a number of similarities.
Both games went multiple overtimes. Both games had plenty of big shots. Both games had role players becoming unlikely heroes.
And unfortunately for the Nets and Warriors, both games had huge collapses late in regulation.
No, I didn’t answer my own question.
What fun would there be in that? That would be like throwing a surprise party for yourself.
The previous edition of The Bernucca List was correctly answered by a reader named Chris, who offered, “NBA players who have been named MVP without winning a championship.”
Reader Brian C. is back in a big way.
Brian C. had been an active participant in The Bernucca List earlier this season, providing the correct answer for two lists. But we hadn’t heard from him in a while.
Meanwhile, fellow readers such as Ody P. narrowed the gap on season leader Brian Rivel, who has nailed the correct answer to three lists.
But Brian C. is back in the picture as he was the first with the correct answer to last week’s list, which was “active players making at least $10 million this season who never have been All-Stars.”
The season toteboard is now all even at the top as Brian Rivel and Brian C. have three wins apiece. Perhaps Brian Rivel will resurface for this week’s list, which is after the jump.
Alex C. is one of the many Sheridan Hoops readers who make this site possible.
We have a number of interactive features on Sheridan Hoops. One of them is this one – The Bernucca List, which tests the NBA knowledge of our readers in what we think is a fun way.
Alex C. nailed the correct answer to last week’s list, which was “Players who have finished second in MVP voting multiple times.” Everyone on the list finished second at least twice; Jerry West finished second four times without ever winning it.
I told Alex C. that he had the right answer and asked him if he had correctly answered any other lists earlier this season. I have been trying to keep track of which readers have the most correct answers, and the truth is I didn’t want to click back through every list this season.
So Alex C. took pity on my laziness and responded to my response.
That is what we want here at Sheridan Hoops. Sure, we want huge readership. Yes, we want to be bookmarked and followed by everybody. But more important, we want a site that NBA fans find comfortable, intelligent and inclusive.
Readers like Alex C. make that goal realistic.
This week’s list is after the jump.
