GSoM's blogger draft record is the opposite of the Warriors- "Unbustable Baby!"
Sure the Cleveland Cavaliers scored 2 top 5 picks in the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery, but guess what GSoM scored in the 2011 NBA Blogger Lottery? I don't think I even need to tell you to... JUMP!
About the NBA Blogger Lottery and Draft
For those of you who aren't NBA blog junkies and veterans such as myself, the blogger super lotto is an event that happens semi-regularly. It's a time where there's hope for the future thanks to bloggers with RIDICULOUS UPSIDE. Longtime readers might remember how we struck gold back in 2009.
As I noted above we managed to win not 1, but 2 lottery prizes in this year's Blogger Lottery. Like the Cleveland LeBrons Cavs we walked away with the 1st and 4th picks (they seem pretty happy over at Fear the Sword). That first pick I'll remind you was part of a deal I swung with Steve Perrin over at Clips Nation back when Baron Davis (the artist formerly known as Boom Dizzle) left the Bay for LA in the summer of 2008.
Well the 2011 NBA Blogger Draft happened this morning and I must tell you, GSoM came up BIG. Unfortunately it wasn't televised, but I'll try my best to recap the event for you...
Recapping GSoM at the 2011 NBA Blogger Draft
The first pick was a no-brainer.
With the 1st pick in the 2011 NBA Draft Golden State of Mind selects...
Evanz
from The City blog!
ESPN's John Hollinger: "Evanz was a the obvious pick at #1. There's a reason the GSoM braintrust can't be stopped. To be perfectly honest, ezPM > PER any day of the week!"
With that first pick alone I knew we were already big draft day winners, but in today's NBA one superstar alone can't bring you a championship. Luckily we had one more pick to net another superstar talent.
With the 4th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft Golden State of Mind selects...
Nate Parham
from Swish Appeal and SB Nation Seattle!
ESPN's Chad Ford: "GSoM simply could not have pulled this move off without Jerry West. It helps to be blogging for The Logo. I LOVE this pick."
With our new draft picks I guarantee you that GSoM will be unstoppable baby for many more years to come.
Please give a golden welcome to the two newest members of our your favorite blogging crew!

Yay
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

Welcome!
Welcome to the team guys! The Warriors added Jerry West, and we added two very talented writers. The summer is off to a great start!
How does being thoughtful, imaginative, unbiased, and polite qualify Evanz to be the newest arrogant, condescending, blog Nazi? I hope the power to hide comments does not corrupt him. Your next test of loyalty to the party will be to hide this post. Anger and hate will turn you to the dark side.
With all due respect, I am a Analyst Hall of Fame candidate. If you are offended by my comment, I did write "With all due respect".
hide it?
I got a kick out of it!

And Nate Parham who? I will need to see more of the scouting report to know how to offend/not offend him. I have issues with authority figures.

I love the pick of Nate
but I would have gone with Biyombo #1

But your ezPM is off the charts
Wanna feel real torture? Try being a Warrior fan.
Biyombo might have more upside than either of us
My standing reach is not that impressive either.
But hopefully the fact that we are both on board with Lord Kelvin bodes well.
SwishAppeal.com for women's basketball...SB Nation Seattle for Seattle sports. Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
Kelvin could do some things
