Top 10 Nicest Sports Bloggers on Ballhype

Top 10 Nicest Sports Bloggers on Ballhype. Ballhype is the THE place for Sports Bloggers to hang out. It’s design is simple genius. The sports blogging world will never be the same. The Ballhype algorithm baffles us all, but we have no idea how to live without it.

To be included in this list you have to be pretty special. Being nice is a choice. You could be an elitist. You could just not care. You could not have a single “nice” fiber in your body. It is easy to see when people are being fake.

One might ask themselves what the point of this list might be. Well, I wish I could have seen this list 1 year ago. I wish I could have known right off the bat who to ask questions to. I wish I would have known who to follow. If you have a blog, you put your heart on your sleeve everyday. These people know that, and embrace it.

Here is the criteria that I chose for my rankings.

1. You have to be active in the Ballhype community.
2. You have to submit posts.
3. You have to comment.
4. Your comments are helpful, well thought out, and just rock.
5. There is also the human factor. I might just make the call, because I said so. I spend A LOT of time on Ballhype. I have formed some opinions using many factors.

I am leaving many off the list. This list could easily be a top 30. Several people just missed the cut. I am recusing my own profile from the list, because it would not be very nice of me to add myself.  I advise any new, or old, Ballhype user to check these profiles out and follow them. This list is starting with the nicest.

1. And One - Carolyn Hastings from And One Cavaliers Basketball Blog. She submits like crazy, and she is sweeter than a bag of Fun Dip with a Coke chaser. Imagine the nicest person you know, then go find out more about Carolyn, and rethink your selection process.
2. Odenized - I know he has been working like a mule as the online editor of Slam Online, but that does not change the fact the Ryne Nelson is very nice. I am sure he will be more active during the season. His personal blog is Odenized.
3. Mookie - NBA blogger @ A Stern Warning
4. Docksquad33 - The First non NBA blogger to make the list. He has a Chicago based sports blog called Docksquad sports.
5. The Zoner - Another Chicago based all sports blogger. He blogs at ZonerSports
6. AEM - he has 2 college blogs The Fifth Corner and The Orange Squeeze
7. MVN Soccer - You may not like soccer, but he also submits other material. He blogs @ The World’s Beautiful Game  and other place as well.
8. DaddyCane - NBA blogger @ The Hoop Doctors
9. Erin Gurney
   
10. Jason Gurney- I know it is a complete cop out to add the site owners, but it is great that actual sports fans own the site.

I do not know why NBA bloggers are so nice, but I have a theory. The Two biggest NBA bloggers J.E. Skeets, from Ball Don’t Lie, and Henry Abbott, from True Hoop, are both very nice. They drop links like crazy and are VERY good at blogging. They are creative and talented. I think that has rubbed off on their minions.

If you have EVER visited my blog you have noticed that I am a video fanatic. I love them. I love to find them and I actually have 20 great youtube video posts sitting in a word document right now. This next video I have been saving for a special post. It is now time to unveil it.

This is from Jason Gurney’s personal Youtube account. I am not trying to embarrass him. He could squash me like an ant. He actually posted this beauty to Ballhype May of 2007. In the video, he had made a promise. His warriors made the playoffs, and he owned up to it his promise. The point of the video, is to prove that our fearless leader is actually a huge sports nut. ( Notice I did not type “Fearless Leader” in a mocking font. ) If you want to, you can skip to 1:40 in the vid.
