PrintWe have a good time gabbing about the Sixers here on Liberty Ballers but a good chunk of the discussion here comes from what Tanner had for lunch or Jordan's summer long shaving sabbatical. I like to think we've developed quite the community here and I have a pretty good picture of what you're all like away from the computer (Sean).
So with less than three weeks until Harry Osborn and Mia Thermopolis kick off the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, it's only fitting that LB announces its nominees for a number of meaningful categories in what will now be known as the DONG Awards. None of the categories include Best Blogger -- we don't want any feelings hurt, plus we know you love us all equally. Like your children.
Without further ado, here's the list of categories that will be voted on in polls over the coming days and you can hit the jump for the nominees.

Get excited about the voting in the comments! Also, yell at me for not including you in the Best Commenter category. It was a tough ten to choose from, and there's a number of you who came very close or some (pumper, hart ford and James_C come to mind) who have just recently started getting into it. We love you all and think we have a nice mix of new guys and veterans on the list here. Should be a close vote.
We'll probably still be doing The Ricko's and The Jodie's at the end of the season as well.

They’re not in any number order, Soman. If you catch a grenade and film it though, that would put you on the fast track.

Obsession: Gotta go with Ricko’s ManLove for the Speez. Honorable mention for NoceOne, but he’s much more pleasant to deal with.
Meme: Bucket=Stop=Bucket
Zumoffism: YYYYEEESSSSSS!!!!
Sixers Killer: I’m still pissed off about Cartier Martin.
Commenter: yosoysean
Nickname: The Jodiac Killer. Honorable mention to The Donger
And I am honored to have made the list…I’d like to thank the Academy…

Definitely think some write-ins should be considered in all categories.
We need more BOSS.

Can there be an award for “most ‘unique’ way of bringing up the same topic over and over again in a long, unreadable rant that doesn’t actually address any of the points brought up by the person they are replying to” ?
If so, then I nominate Ricko.

I should actually try writing fan posts sometimes. I do have some writing ability....I think?

I wonder who the BOSS of the year awards is going to go to!

This nomination made my day. I’d have to go with Tron as my favorite commenter, he always makes me laugh. I always wanna take t his time personally apologize for my absence as of late, had a wild birthday week. I should be back in game form from here on out.

how true Sixers fans can hate Lou, their BEST PLAYER. Lou is the present and future of this organization and the team’s success is solely based on his success, so you guys need to come to your senses and understand what this team is all about. L O U.

Rey Mysterio? Really? Can’t I at least be La Parka? I think he symbolizes my attitude the best of all the luchadors that have fought in America.
the chair man? How about max mini?

Shot myself in the foot this year on the commenters one.
Haven’t missed reading a post, but haven’t had time to watch games and haven’t left a lot of comments :-(. Oh well; there’s always next year.
I hear ya bromigo.
Tis tough to keep up with the happenin’ fads here at LB, but it always makes for a good read.

Thanks for the props guys. Glad to be a part of the LB community.
On an unrelated note, have you guys heard that Brandon Roy is trying to come back freaking Friday? After all the crazy injuries the Blazers (and Brandon Roy) have gone through over the years don’t you think they would be smarter than this? I was literally completely shocked when I saw that on NBATV last night. If I was a Blazers fan I would be losing my mind and rioting in the streets of Portland lol.
I know what I’m voting for except for the Zumoffism stuff. Stuck between “Locking all windows and doors” and “Dirty dancing”. Both make me smile. Of course, the Sixers don’t do a good job of locking the windows and doors so right after I smile, i frown because the opponent scores. Oh well.
I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok---Shaquille O'Neal
Best Obsession: NoceOne (sentimental fave – perhaps a going away present – not even close)
Best Meme: Bucket=Stop=Bucket
Best Sixers killers: 4 point plays (cmonnnn TWICE?, really guys? TWICE?)
Best Rant: Levin – Sixers Collapse to Grizzlies. Bad teams do this. (Though I liked my own rant about the FO and then the other day about trading for Rip – if you DO wind up on meds, DONT neglect to take them)
Best Nickname: The Donger
Best commentor: dweebowitz
Zumoffism
It’s got to be “locking all windows and door” or “on the seesaw”. Those two have been heavily involved in his rotation for at least 10 years.
