The rankings are finally complete! We have been looking at a solid way to do this for quite some time now and think we've found a formula that should stick. Of course tweaking is always a part of any ranking system, but we are satisfied with our first edition.

Le Basketbawl's Top 25 NBA Blog Rankings will be released on a monthly basis with updates accordingly. The ranking system was based on 4 factors: the blog's BallHype ranking turned into a score from 1-10 (10 being the highest), the blog's Technorati ranking turned into a score from 1-10 (10 being the highest), the blog's Google PageRank, and the blog's Alexa ranking turned into a score from 1-10 (10 being the highest). If two blogs have equal scores, a tie-breaker was decided based on their Technorati E-Money Value (This table will be posted shortly).

A few days ago we wrote a brief article on the return of Slamball! As you may well remember, Slamball is the high flying, trampoline dominating, basketball/football mix of a sport that you couldn’t help but watch a few years ago on Spike TV. After a 5 year lay off from television and a trip overseas to grow the sport, it returns and is backed by mega-company IMG and led by new commissioner Pat Croce. The league expects big things this time around including a new TV deal in hopes of becoming the “Arena football of the NBA.”

Well it has been almost 3 months for Le Basketbawl and we decided it was time to create a new look that could set us apart while giving us a fresh new look.

We will have plenty of new features on the way and a new outlook for the rest of the year. In February alone we saw almost 73,000 page views and hope to at least equal that number in the month of March! (Good luck to us.)

We would love to hear feedback on the new look plus any requests on anything we have done in the past that you would like to see continued or stopped. Being so new to this blogging game, we will always welcome the criticism, and of course the compliments too.

Make sure to subscribe to our feed and definitely feel free to email us at any time.

There have been some interesting reports out today that Terrelle Pryor could possibly be considering Memphis as his school of choice to play basketball. I know what your thinking!

"Wait, isn't this the #1 high school football prospect?"

"Why on earth would he play basketball when his life is already set in football?"

If you are still confused, let me give you a little more background. Pryor is probably the most hyped high school football recruit I can remember in my entire life. The kid has unbelievable skills as a quarterback and was thought to be heading to Michigan, Ohio State or Penn State to bring one of those programs a national title. Michigan seemed to be the likely choice with Rich Rodriguez taking over the program and implementing the spread offense which Pryor would be perfect for. Sure enough, national letter of intent day rolled around and Pryor had still not made a decision and doesn't seem to be in any sort of rush.
