First and foremost,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our Society to your families!
With the holiday season quickly approaching, we at the Society decided to present our fellow basketball junkies with the greatest gift of all — crafting the PERFECT BASKETBALL PLAYER!!
The categories were as follows:
Physical Attributes
Ball Handling
Shooting
Passing
Rebounding
Defense
Teamwork
Passion
Mentality
Scoring Ability
IQ
Style
The 12 categories correspond with the famed 12 Days of Christmas. After much deliberation, we settled upon the 12 categories that would most describe the perfect, quintessential basketball player. Our writers were allowed to pick players from any era of basketball. Any player selected could only be selected for one category. The selections were made through a tally system. Every writer was given a chance to submit answers, with the most common names being selected for said category. Any deadlocks were decided upon a sudden death vote. So without further adieu, we present to you the perfect basketball player.
