Wikio has sent me the following ranking of the Top Basketball Blogs. As you can see, Henry Abbott and TrueHoop lead the way. And the Blazers, Suns, and Cavaliers also have top blogs reporting on their teams. After that… well, thanks everyone for reading.

DJ,
Congratulations on top five. Totally deserved.

Obviously this reflects the improved writing in this forum :)
It wasn’t ranked that high when I did all the writing. Apparently people really like the Wages of Wins Journal when someone else uses the Wages of Wins analysis (other than the authors).

Cool! I hope this means your books are doing well, too. And I hope there are future GMs out there reading them.

DJ,
Awesome work! I’ll also point out two of the blogs above you are dedicated to specific states/teams, so really you’re nipping right at Abbot’s heals.
Way to be humble as well! A huge improvement I’d say since opening up the writing is wait time. You used to write the entire NBA on your own (no small task). I remember getting annoyed when I’d have to read about the Pistons, when you should have been writing more about the Nuggets. Now with more writers, there’s less wait time. I’d say I still like your writing best, but I’ve been really pleased with the increase in content.
Keep up the good work.

Really, the 2nd-ranked general basketball blog–and #1 has a link fron ESPN, which is like playing with house money–so let’s call it the top-ranked independent basketball blog. (Just a matter of examining the data and finding the practical correlation!)
Way to go!

Congratulations Dr Berri! I rarely comment, but I come by all the time. Excellent thing you’ve got going here… interesting topic, good analysis, and really smart readers (judging from the comments mostly). In fact, if I might just add, while I come for the articles primarily, I find myself returning to follow the thread of comments. A fun time all around! :)

I have to question how a Women’s basketball blog is ahead of a Lakers blog that is well-known. Clips above them too!?
And I don’t see a Raps blog. That is shocking.

Pffff. Everyone knows that Wikio overrates rebounding.
In all seriousness, many thanks to dberri and the rest of the community, and congrats on the well deserved popularity.
