Hoops Addict Floor Burn Tournament
Sports Page Atlanta —
The folks over at Hoops Addict are running the first annual Hoops Addict Floor Burn Tournament.
Each night ESPN, NBA.com and YouTube are flooded with clips of players soaring through the air for rim rocking dunks, buzzer beating three-pointers and blocked shots that make your jaw drop in amazement. While those are all entertaining plays, teams who win championships need players who are willing to get a little dirty and do the little things needed to help their team win. As valuable and crucial as these players are to their respective teams success, ...

The On Deck Circle —
... that in mind, Ryan created the Hoops Addict Floor Burn Tournament, where bloggers representing every team in the NBA (via team-specific blogs, usually) nominate a ‘hustle/energy/Gary Roberts Wednesday’ player to participate in a tournament to crown the Floor Burn Champion.

Trev Smith also participated (representing Golden State instead of his beloved Lakers, though he got a Lakers plug in nonetheless). Anyways, check it out and vote for your favorite in each match up by August 11, when the next round ...

Joel Gets Some (Tough) Love
Blazer's Edge —
... HoopsAddict is having what they call a Floor Burn Tournament...a head to head contest between players from various teams known for their effort and scrappy play. No pampered Olympians here, just lunch bucket guys. The Blazers' representative is Joel Przybilla and so far he has a hefty lead over the opposition. But it never hurts if you want to head over there and vote. You can track him through the tournament until he gets knocked out or vanquishes the opposition. ...

Go and vote for Chuck and Shane in the Hoops Addict Floor Burn Tournament. Man, "no discernable NBA-level skills," ouch. I think someone needs to watch Chuck's post defense or maybe read what JVG and everyone else says about Chuck's superior NBA-level defense. If Ben Wallace couldn't dunk, would you say he had no NBA-level skills? Shit, Chuck's a better cutter, passer, etc. At least they say that Chuck "outsmarts" people.

Although consistent playing time has eluded him, whatever burn he does get he makes the most of it by playing hard, playing with intensity although not always playing smart. Diving for loose balls is the norm which every fan loves, on the flip side of the coin launching 13-footers might not be the greatest idea. It’s this love-hate relationship that makes me want to nominate Hump Jordan as my pick for the Floor Burn Tournament.” - Hoops Addict Here is the great thing about the Raptors-Pacers trade of T.J.

... Hoops Addict is doing the Floor Burn Tournament — a breakdown of the guys around the league who are not the stars but do the dirty work to help a team to win. Asked to nominate a Laker I said Sasha Vujacic (Kobe may actually be the best floor-burn guy on the Lakers but we’re talking non-star). In the first round, Sasha is up against Nick Fazekas of the Clips (and winning so far). Go vote for the man — I’d say he’s a better three-point shooter than anyone you can vote for come November, but then I saw that ...
