meninblazers:

GFOP Chris Swanson did the dirty work for us on Kevin Bacon look-a-like and Arsenal GK Wojciech Szczesny. The cinematic treasure Goal being the key, as it so often is.

1. Wojciech Szczesny played with Thierry Henry at Arsenal
2. Thierry Henry played with Zinedine Zidane for France
3. Zinedine Zidane appeared in Goal! (2005) with Tony Plana, the main character’s father
4. Tony Plana was also in the movie JFK (1991) with Kevin Bacon

To start this off, these are my rankings for the preseason with an added touch of who I think will cement themselves and remain high in the ranking for the remainder of the season. I will be ranking the the top ten players in every position from the 1(Point Guard) to the 5 (Center). I will also make sure no double counting of players will occur, such as ranking Amare Stoudemire in the positions of both centers and power forwards, instead I will assign each player to a position that I think suits their abilities of the floor such that Amare will only be ranked among other power forwards. These rankings are pretty much based on how much the players has an impact for their respective club and how they are able to produce in each of the categorical stats such as rebounds, points, assists, steals, and blocks.
