I can't imagine how much time this guy spent on this, but it's fantastic.

That was absolutely brilliant.
 
The Obama and the Anthony Bennett parts had me rolling.

I also loved the Timberwolves getting 0 assists for a season, Noel and Davis footage, and 3-0 in 12OT.

I may have gotten slightly emotionally invested in Nerlens Noel's story.

 

[Bigpupp]

There are no words to describe how amazing that was.

 

[gtg807y]

Jon Bois is brilliant.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I may have gotten slightly emotionally invested in Nerlens Noel's story.

I need a 30 for 30 about it.
The two last big men in the league, trapped in the same conference. Noel always in the shadow of Davis since his days at Kentucky.

This is fantastic.

In Miami, Bob Jiggity's morale is listed as, "fed up."

At the bottom, we see why he's probably fed up: he isn't getting paid. He has no skills, so the game, understandably, decides he deserves no money.
The unfortunate plight of Bob Jiggity is such that he can't not be in the NBA. He can't go be a doctor or a plumber. In the year 2023, NBA rosters are like physical vacuums: there aren't enough normal players to fill the void in the rosters, so the Doomsday Players get sucked in to fill the absence of space. Sorry, pal.

All is lost. All is lost. All is lost. All is lost.

All is lost.

That article should be scored by Zager and Evans. Brilliant.

Brilliant concept and wonderfully written article. Plus, seeing how the NBA will be made up of 5'3" players and 80+ year old coaches, it looks as if even I might have a chance to eventually play for the celtics.

I like the Knicks being the only team to scoop up doomsday players early.  Seems right.

Anthony Davis has carried them there singlehandedly, but he's delivered one final insult on his way out of the league. The Finals MVP award is given instead to point guard Moses Pippy. Throughout the playoffs, Pippy has averaged 3.3 points per game, shooting .284. There is absolutely no logic behind it.

 
That article was outstanding... just like pretty much everything else Jon Bois has done over the years

So... the Sox have a Doomsday OF, right?
 
All is lost.

This was hilarious, and easily a good use of time (thanks for posting the link).  I kept liking it more and more until, for me, the clincher at the 2033+ "The Dark Era"....pure awesomeness.  A 12-OT 3-0 game...
 
Game 1 of the 2034 NBA Finals takes 12 overtimes to decide.

The Magic are 0-for-193 from the field before Sammy Tentoes hits the game-winning three. Orlando and Denver shoot a combined 1-for-372, or .003.
 
EDIT: I just saw Cellar-Door mentioned it, but figured I'd leave this for the pic...
