I just realized it's been about three months since I've done one of these. Yikes. I have high hopes I'll get it brought current before the end of the season. (Assuming I don't take three months do the next one.) This year, we get to see the rare occurrence of a supplemental member jumping up to the regular list.

So Tiny makes it...Deservedly so, I guess. Doo is gonna make it next time (I wonder what I had predicted 3 months back....). I see my two Celtics are going to be making it soon. (Parish after McAdoo, then MAYBE DJ, assuming Moncrief doesn't jump him, which I definitely wouldn't rule out...In fact, Moncrief will make it before DJ in 1989. Who knows after that! (Isiah Thomas is my bet. The two Finals wins and one loss ((FLUKE! FLUKE!)) will put him up. Walton has no chance in the world to make it ((didn't really think he would anyway...Isn't 1987 his last year (((and he barely plays then anyway...))). I hope McHale can make it. Why is he so low...We need to change this. Hopefully the 1989 year without Bird will boost him up a bit, but he's already on a downward slope. Hmmm...Looks like a longshot for him (though maybe not....I think the 90s might have a bit of a lull for supersuper stars...Stockton, Malone, Pippen....Never mind then. I hope he can sneak in there.
