It may turn out to be one of the most absured Carnivals ever, but the theme for this carnival is going to be "Make Up Your Own NBA Holiday".
Unless it creates problems by pushing the date back, I am going to publish on Wednesday, March 26. That happens to be Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
These can either be serious, comical, or completely satire, but the challenge is to create an NBA holiday that takes place any day during the year. Possibly a holiday to commemorate the day the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett, or set up an official "Fire Isaiah! Day."
I'll be publishing other posts as well; go ahead and submit any recent posts you've got. If you have any questions/comments/concerns/complaints, send me an e-mail or site PM.
On a side not promoting my blog, I'm holding a March Madness tournament challenge. WhatIfSports has provided $70 of gift certificates for the top three bracketologists.
A lot of bloggers would enjoy their site, I'm assuming. You can simulate matchups between teams from the 1946 season on through 2007.
Considering I have only a half-dozen submissions to the the Carnival, I am extending the deadline through Monday, March 24. The Carnival will be published Wednesday, March 26.
It is not mandatory that you stick with the theme, however, it is preferrable. For a great example, here's Unsung Player Day from With Malice..
Ahh I missed this one because of a) March Madness, b) crazy time with school work right now, and c) spent alot of time fine tuning the Carl English interview. Next time, for sure. This would have been my carnival debut, too.

You have fulfilled my lifelong dream - to make up a holiday and force people to hear about it. The 26th works better in my schedule - thank you.

Great work guys.
Last call for submissions. Try to get things in within the next six hours!
I've compiled all of the submissions, and I'm putting the finishing touches on the Carnival tonight.
The Carnival will be published around 9:15 AM Eastern time tomorrow.
Yes, it has. Your submission is hidden under April 16, when the Cavs and Pistons next play each other.

David: Carnival was posted yesterday (Wednesday) morning:
Carnival of the NBA #55
Thanks.
I had thought that it was customary for the host to post a message here when the Carnival was up, which is why I assumed that it wasn't.
I will post a link to it, as usual.
Batter up - theme?
Why did you miss this one? Apologies all around.
