n my opinion, the NBA has the best sports bloggers on the Internet. I know, I know. I’m biased. Get over it. Now that 2009 is coming to a close, I think it’s time we recognize the best of the best.Below I’ve nominated what I consider to be the five best general NBA blogs on the Internet. Just to clarify: these are blogs that focus on the league as a whole, not one individual team. Each of these blogs is great. It’s difficult to decide which is the best, so I’m leaving it up to you, NBA readers, to decide which one gets the “Fiendy”: the award for elite status.

Yes, I realize we did these two years ago.
Yes, I realized I promised several people we’d do them last year.
Yes, I’m still planning on doing more categories later on. It’s a lot of work, okay? I couldn’t keep up, what with the playoffs and real life and producing all those adult videos. My life is JAM-PACKED (that’s what she said… is that still funny? No? Not even a little?).
Anyway, Basketball Fiend is running contests for Best Basketball Blogs (Team, General, Podcast A.K.A. everyone stands around and watches as the Basketball Jones destroys everyone even though the rest of those are all really good).
We didn’t get nominated for best general NBA blog. Mostly because our readership is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the average post’s readership on those other sites.
But we’re WAY FUNNIER.
Sure, they have established writers and years of experience and payroll and Synergy and all that, but if you look at the advanced stats, our pop-culture-references-per-40 are way higher.
Put that behind your boxscore and smoke it.
And no, we’re not really upset at not getting a nomination. Those are big players in the coverage game. We’re more of window musers. If that was a word. See? We can’t even create our own words.
But if you guys were to go over there and write us in in the comments, that would be neato. Not you, Mom. (Dang it, there goes half my readership!)
Rate this post!
Hey man, i’ll only tell you this:
BEST. NBA. BLOG. EVER.
You should read it as follows:
“best dot nba dot blog dot ever”
You should be damn proud of it. Like if it were your dumb child.
To be honest with I had never heard of Basketball Fiend before I clicked on the link you provided.
Now I have 2 complaints about this blog:
1. The readers. This site looks dead sometimes. Is everybody afraid to comment? I do think you have thousands of readers, and if you don´t, you should. But it would be interesting to see some discussion around here.
2. The writers. Come on people. You’re too irregular, you could post 10 times in a day and then be quiet for a week… and also the webpage is not working properly, to see the posts in order you have to go to the archives of the current month, otherwise everything it’s messed up
But like i said before, hold your head up Matt, hardwood paroxysm is either the smartest or the funniest nba blog out there (can’t decide which one yet).
Believe me, you guys were in the running for best NBA blog as I was making this list. HP is hilarious and insightful. I read it all the time. I didn’t put a runner up section because it was 5:00 am. Honestly, I just forgot.
Clint, I humbly suggest you check out Basketball Fiend more often.
I’ve been reading you guys for a while, and I think you are one of the funniest and most insightful blogs around. What I don’t get is why noone ever comments on here.
