The pseudo-NBA off-season has been the most boring time I’ve experienced in my 23 years of basketball fandom. Unlike the actual offseason, where you can speculate about trades, the draft, or even talk smack about the season prior, we’re stuck in purgatory with no hoops on the horizon and dying for something to talk about.
Amidst posts comparing Malcolm Brogdon to a character from The Office, one of the more thought-provoking exercises during this purgatory has been “all-time” lists. Through my journey to satiate my basketball appetite, I’ve seen discussion topics brandished such as “Greatest ten players in NBA history”, “Ten biggest busts of all time”, and even Lake Show Life’s own “All-time Lakers starting five“.
